Search Result Query

[simoncn]

Thank you for letting me know about this issue. The short answer is that there is nothing you can do to make this query work by altering property settings. For the long answer, read on...

There are some problems with this UPnP Search query.

1) There is a space before the closing quote in "object.item.videoItem ". Is this space in the original error mesage or was it introduced by copying and pasting to your forum post?

2) The query refers to upnp:albumArtist. This is incorrect because albumArtist is not a property name (XML element) but a value of the 'role' attribute of the upnp:artist and upnp:author properties. It is possible that some UPnP servers might overlook the strict rules of UPnP and apply this query to the 'role' attribute of the upnp:artist and upnp:author properties. MinimServer does not do this.

3) The query refers to upnp:author. This is valid according to the UPnP specification but is not currently supported by MinimServer.

4) The combination of multiple 'derivedfrom' expressions for "object.item.audioItem" and "object.item.videoItem" is valid according to the UPnP specification but is not currently supported by MinimServer.

The main issue that prevents the query from working is 4). It would be possible to make changes to MinimServer to resolve this issue. These changes would not be available as an update to MinimServer 0.8.2 but would require you to update to MinimServer 2 (the current supported version). For information about MinimServer 2, see this page. I will add this to my to-do list and I will post back here if this support is implemented.
