** Description changed:
From irc:
08:28 < jdstrand> Laney: question for you-- just otoh, can you think of a
reason why dlna wouldn't work on xenial in rhythmbox any more when it has the
same upstream version as wily (and the Ubuntu delta didn't have any relevant
changes), grilo is the same as wily and grilo-plugins only has one irrelevant
change over wily?
08:29 < jdstrand> (it the dleyna code in grilo that handles this afaik)
08:30 < jdstrand> Laney: the dlna server just doesn't show up any more (but
daap still does)
08:33 < jdstrand> I have both forked-daapd and minidlna exporting <music>
08:33 < jdstrand> and rhythmbox used to see both on wily. on xenial, it only
sees daap
This may be a bug in grilo or grilo-plugins since, AIUI, it is the
dleyna code in grilo-plugins that handles this. It appears that grilo
relies on dleyna-server and dleyna-server isn't able to find the server
- any more. I tried on a separate wily install to see if it would work and
- it wasn't able to find it.
+ any more. I tried on a separate wily install and it wasn't able to find
+ it.
Coming up with a reproducer was more difficult than I thought it would
be.
1. minidlna server setup
$ sudo apt-get install minidlna
Adjust /etc/minidlna.conf to have:
media_dir=A,/path/to/some/music/files
I believe everything else can be left as defaults.
2. rhythmbox setup
$ sudo apt-get install grilo-plugins-0.2-extra rhythmbox-plugins dleyna-server
stop and start rhythmbox
go into Tools/Plugins and check Grilo media browser
This was all I needed to do initially for it to start working. Now it
now longer works. Android devices and 'kodi' from Ubuntu can find and
use it fine. Using d-feet and going to 'com.intel.dleyna-server' and
into com.intel.dLeynaServer.Manager and looking at 'GetServers' returns
nothing. Looking at Rescan() triggers traffic (as seen with tcpcump)
with the server (ie, there are responses). Looking at an strace of
/usr/lib/dleyna-server/dleyna-server-service shows it got a response
from the minidlna server. I guess the problem is in dleyna-server. There
is a new upstream version (0.5), but it is newer than what is in Debian.
Apparently minidlna is installed in Netgear devices and other places and
is quite popular.
