not working on Samsung TV...

On top of my head at least 3 things are necessary:

- DLNA profile as fourth field of item's protocolInfo
- the media server handling properly the "getcontentFeatures.dlna.org" header sent by the TV in the stream requests
- the media server handling HEAD requests

You could try proxying minimserver through BubbleUPnP Server. It has some chance to work.

According to the MinimServer log, the TV only got as far as reading the first DIDL-Lite container tag for "804 albums" before reporting an error. This seems to rule out the first and second possibilities.

Regarding the third possibility, MinimServer does support HEAD requests, but there's no evidence of a HEAD request in the log.

My impression from the log is that the TV didn't like this:

Code:

<DIDL-Lite xmlns="urn:schemas-upnp-org:metadata-1-0/DIDL-Lite/" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:upnp="urn:schemas-upnp-org:metadata-1-0/upnp/" xmlns:dlna="urn:schemas-dlna-org:metadata-1-0/"><container id="0$albums" parentID="0" restricted="1" searchable="1"><dc:title>804 albums</dc:title><upnp:class>object.container</upnp:class></container></DIDL-Lite>

just let me know, if you need anything else log file related.

HEAD requests happens much later on, when a track is played, on stream URLs, to check if the link exists (and get that pesky getcontentFeatures.dlna.org reply).

Are you familiar with WireShark? If so, would you be able to run a WireShark capture of another media server talking successfully to the TV?

Thanks very much! Please let me know if you need any help with setting this up. It's fairly straightforward on both Windows and Mac. You'll need to be running the media server (e.g., Asset or Twonky) on the same machine where you have WireShark running.

well, twonky is running on my headless nas... ?!?

To do this capture, you would need to run another copy of Twonky on a PC or Mac with access to the music on your NAS, and run Wireshark on the same PC or Mac.

better late than never... here we go! hopefully this helps a bit?

.100 = Twonky Server
.102 = Samsung TV
.105 = NAS

Thanks for sending this capture file.

I have an idea what may be causing the problem. I should be able to send you a test build in a few days to confirm this. What platform are you using to run MinimServer?
