Hi, First, doc/API.txt seems to be missing from dleyna-server repo. If the idea is that only web page is updated, we should probably include a url in docs/. API.txt from media-service-upnp says this (looking at code, it seems to accurately describe dleyna-server): > Additional Values for the Type Property: > ---------------------------------------- > > The Type property tells what kind of object we are dealing with and > which can take the below values in addition to those described > in MediaServer2Spec specification (3). > in case of Items: > 'video.musicclip', 'video.broadcast' > 'audio.broadcast', 'audio.book', > 'playlist', 'item' > and in case of Containers: > 'album', 'album.music', 'album.photo' > 'person', 'person.musicartist' > 'genre', 'genre.music', 'genre.movie' I think this is a mistake and makes the implementation non-compliant with the org.gnome.MediaObject2 spec in a way that is harmful to client developers. I realise there are other places where dleyna-server does not implement some things or implements additional things, but this is more problematic, basically an API break: The MediaObject2 spec clearly says containers _must_ have type "container", and applications will rely on that. Adding new types will break clients. As an example of this, dleyna-control makes this mistake -- I can't browse by artist or genre: https://github.com/01org/dleyna-control/issues/8. As another example even the same document (API.txt) includes this example: > def tree(server_path, level=0): > bus = dbus.SessionBus() > container = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object( > 'com.intel.media-service-upnp', server_path), > 'org.gnome.UPnP.MediaContainer2') > objects = container.ListChildren(0, 0, ["DisplayName", "Path", "Type"]) > for props in objects: > print " " * (level * 4) + ( props["DisplayName"] + > " : (" + props["Path"]+ ")") > if props["Type"] == "container": > tree(props["Path"], level + 1) I believe this will not work for all containers. If the additional container types are required, could we add another property for them instead? - Jussi

X_DLNA_Seek* and seek values in

by Sébastien bianti

Hi all, I wonder what is the correct behaviour when receiving from a renderer that kind of TransportActions: ⋅ X_DLNA_SeekTime or X_DLNA_SeekByte without seek : 1) The renderer is unable to seek, we consider the X_DLNA_… as a mistake. 2) We consider that the renderer is able to seek by time or byte and we don't care about the omission. ⋅ seek,X_DLNA_SeekByte but no X_DLNA_SeekTime : 1) The renderer is able to time and byte seek because «seek» alone means time seekable in UPnP-AV. 2) The renderer is only able to seek by byte if no, how to signify "I can only seek by byte" ? Opinions welcome. Sébastien Bianti.
