After some basic analysis and testing, we found out some limitations we would like to discuss: 1) RygelMediaPlayer and playlist/multi-track support RygelMediaPlayer's interface does not provide API (nor any other public clas does) making playlist handling possible (e.g. next/previous commands, and also reporting of both current media and track). Since Rygel handles playlist logic internally in RygelPlayerController, it can lead to cases where next/prev controls don't work (if media playback was initiated via rygel, local UI does not know about media and vice versa). Without breaking ABI, this might be solvable by making RygelPlayerController public and enabling user to re-implement it, but it would be good to discuss this a bit more to have merge-able fix. 2) Error reporting Rygel's API is not designed to allow error reporting (error codes) from player to UPnP control point in first place; e.g. there is no way to report an error client when invoking play() while no media is set. Rygel's code currently does not handle these cases and there is no hint about whose responsibility is to return error code. If it is solely rygel's responsibility, we will gladly supply patches which fix this behavior, otherwise the API might need significant changes. Currently, these two issues are main blockers for us and we are interested in fixing them as soon as possible.If you have any suggestions/comments to any of these issues, we would like to merge our fixes to the upstream.
