Re: [vdr] IS there a working UPnP-AV/DLNA support for VDR?

Actually, I think some of the properties are not well formatted. UPnP
defines a strict pattern, which I implemented (hopefully) properly.
However, some devices may ignore this pattern. I will try to find out,
which of these parameters is the offending one.

 Howdy!

 There is an installation instructions for vdr-plugin-upnp here:
 http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Upnp-plugin

 I also installed libupnp-1.6.6 with this dlna patch:
 http://svn.assembla.com/svn/VDR-M7x0/trunk/toolchain/patches/libupnp/1.6.6/dlna/100-CustomHeader.0.0.3.patch

 I'm using the plugin with VDR 1.7.15 and Playstation3. PS3 detects the
 VDR correctly, but there are no recordings or live channels available,
 it's just all empty.

 When looking at the log file (with -v), i see this:

Re: [vdr] IS there a working UPnP-AV/DLNA support for VDR?

2012-02-11 Thread Mikko Tuumanen
 i am still working on it.

I have a feature reuqest for the vdr dlna server.

I bought a tv and fast forwarding through the dlna is terribly slow (tried 
minidlna) and there are no skip one minute or goto hh:mm etc. 
functionality at all.

Skipping minute forward, backward and goto hh:mm like vdr does could be 
implemented in the dlna server. Then the user could send these commands to te 
server which would do the skipping (its easy when we have the vdr index files). 
Of course controlling can't be done with the dlna client remote control and 
doing this with multiple dlna clients is not so simple (need separate remote 
control for each client, etc).



Another idea: 

Vdr in a cheap computer that is not able to decode and deinterlace the video 
properly. Connect a dlna cabable tv to the dvi output of the computer and the 
tv to the same network as the computer. Then it will be possible to create a 
cDlnaDevice that will draw osd on an X11 window and send all video to the dlna 
client. If the tv is remote controllable through serial port or ethernet then 
switching from video to osd and back could be automatic. Of course it wouldn't 
be osd any more, but menus could be used anyway. Unfortunately subtitles 
wouldn't work at all unless the tv supported them.

 Nevertheless, you cannot control the vdr the way you expected. An
 default DLNA server only allows you to show media files (and live TV)
 on your DLNA or UPnP capable device. You cannot schedule recordings,
 start/stop the server or do anything beside watching media,
 unfortunatelly.
 
 DLNA does not specify those features in its current version 1.5. It
 will be supported in 2.0 and above, however it may take some years
 that devices implementors will support them as they are mostly
 optional. I even haven't seen any TV device which supports the tuner
 service capability of a DLNA media server very well (In this case,
 you would be able to switch channels by pressing a channel number or
 by chan-up/chan-down).
 
 Additionally, it won't be possible to show any EPG or OSD on an DLNA
 device without work-a-rounds, like transcoding EPG/OSD into an MPEG
 stream. There is a possibility to transmit text based date, but this
 is not being supported by any TV device I know.
 
 Well, DLNA sounds perfect when you don't expect too much: you may
 exchange media from one device to another. You can share media of a
 certain device to others and let them play it. But you cannot play
 files which are not supported by the device, even though it may play
 the files directly for instance via USB. Sounds ridiculous, but works
 as designed.
 
 I work on an work-a-round to support scheduling records via browser
 navigation. But, this is not very user friendly because you have to
 play every command and simulate a media file to the TV. Every DLNA
 server must support a web page where the server allows to show
 additional information. I will use live among others in this case, as
 it seems to do everything needed.
 
 I hope this will help, somehow. Please let me know, if you miss
 something to be supported.

Hmmm ... maybe HbbTV would be an option. Let's say for handling
the VDR.  Otherwise I would like to avoid softdevice as well as
expensive full featured HDTV DVB-cards.

Ack! These combination should work as there are many users who reported 
a working setup.


Correct me, if I'm wrong, but I thought that hbbTV is sent by the 
broadcasters themselves. Maybe someone has spent some time to work on a 
smartTV (e.g. for samsung) app, which can be installed and used by the user.
