Open-home and upmpdcli

[Dukobpa3]

I've done some investigation of open-home and UPnP.

It's working ok but there is some comments.
Good:

• playlist have stored to mpd and can play after control point is disconnected. This behaviour is as explain by OhMedia.

Bad:

• mp3-tags can't be parsed, it's looking like:

  I've seen the same picture in the RuneUI.
• mpd can't play next files if UPnP library is disconnected. (I think the few next next files should be stored to PC on which mpd is running on. For now just current one is stored and playing also if lib is disconnected)
• if I send new file to upmpdcli through UPnP control (BubbleUPnP) - the current playlist will be replaced with this new one. (This behaviour is based on BubbleUPnP settings)

UPD:
- mp3-tags and cover is parsing for current track. Playlist stay with ugly numbered names only.

Uhm, I see correct tags in the RuneUI when feeding music from foobar2000, BubbleUPnP and Jamcast. What are you using as source?

What are you using as source?

I'm using BubbleUPnP as control point and have tried minidlna and BubbleUPnP-local libraries.

I'm currently starting the process as daemon with this command:

Code: Select all

upmpdcli -D -f RuneAudio

These are the available options:

Code: Select all

[root@runeaudio ~]# upmpdcli -h
upmpdcli: usage:
-c configfile    configuration file to use
-h host          specify host MPD is running on
-p port          specify MPD port
-d logfilename   debug messages to
-l loglevel       log level (0-6)
-D       run as a daemon
-f friendlyname  define device displayed name
-q 0|1   if set, we own the mpd queue, else avoid clearing it whenever we feel like it
-i iface         specify network interface name to be used for UPnP
-P upport        specify port number to be used for UPnP
-O 0|1   decide if we run and export the OpenHome services


Are you also using the -q and -O options?
