Hallo,
I'm interested in mpd's upnp capabilities, so I compiled it on a raspberry pi (running volumio/debian).
The browsing of my upnp server (through xbmc) works nicely, but when it comes to play...nothing.
This is what the log says when trying to play something

Code: Select all

The log says "played" but actually that's more an attempt...it does not play any of the songs and all this log block is written in less than a second. So my guess is the file extensions get cut somewhere along the way and that could be the reason. But I could also be wrong.
thanks in advance for any help.

Just to make sure, you compiled MPD with the UPnP database plugin enabled, you are using XBMC as an UPnP Content Directory, and you are controlling MPD with some MPD client ?

Hallo scarnot,
yes, at the time of that writing (1 month ago) that was the scenario: mpd using volumio's web-UI (on raspberry pi), xbmc with its media offered through upnp on another pc.
In the meantime I upgraded volumio. Now it has upnp enabled by default, it's version 0.18.10...
Actually it works now, although there's still a strange behavior regarding file extensions: mp3 files are shown as m3u (but played correctly). I did not investigate enough to know if it's mpd or the webUI causing that.

Thanks, I am going to try it. I was wondering if you were using the merged UPnP plugin version from the MPD git or the original one from http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/pages/mpd-upnp.html.

No, the original did not work at all. The rewritten one from git which I tried came a bit nearer (I could navigate content...sort of).

sorry: I just discovered djmount, That's responsible for mounting upnp media in volumio, not mpd itself!!
Not the cleanest solution maybe, but it works...

Strange, I just tried the original one (no build needed...), and it works fine for me, I just installed the package, changed mpd.conf, and I can browse, add songs, and play. Did a quick test using mpc, but I can't see why this would not work with another client. This was on Raspbian though, because this is what I have at hand.
