Feature requests & roadmap / upnp/DLNA and the future

« on: January 05, 2010, 02:52:41 pm »

Hy all of you for your great job. Linuxmce is a great products.

I see that it's planned to use media tomb instead of fupes as upnp server !!

We are french domotic's integrator and here is our thinking. In the future, I guess that lmce need to be full upnp compatible. I love the idea of a server with movies, music, pictures, rss, and live tv to be fully accessible to every upnp client: control each device, access to ressoucres from each, control domotic ...

We use a windows computer with upnp server like tversity and xbmc, and another upnp server for live TV (satellite and TNT in france). We use the iphone as remote to control a globlacache/irtrans module though wifi (only hardware) and a KNX module interface. So we can control each device in the house and the domotic (home automation) also !

Let me know what you think about it, however, I think that putting a computer in each room should be hard in some times, however everyday, new upnp device appear on the market !

sorry for my poor english

Users / video, audio and pictures from a nas via cifs

« on: July 18, 2008, 02:51:19 pm »

Hy,
I have some question to guru,

I have a nas muse with 4 hdd in raid connected in the internal network. However I have plent of documents, professional, personal, electrical stuf... So I have a file server MNAS, and a share called public with all documents !!!!

My lmce core detected it as file server mnas, and share public, and add videos and audio from it (lot s of files), I give user and pass to interact well! I declared to make the content public and not lmce strucure because of other documents stored in nas
Then it sync well video and audio from all the public share!

However I have some trouble:

1/ no pictures at all are detected (I try to sync from admin website) but nothing execpt flickr. What is strange is that if I goes in the media menu with the remote and search for pictures, I can see it in the result list but can't have the pic shown.

2/ the videos and audio menu not show directories, I can have the title list for videos with all videos, but can't browse by directories! is it bbecause I set it up as no lmce directories structure ?

3/ is there a way to llimit the nas share scan to certains directories, I tried manualy in web admin site to declare, instead of 1 public share, 3 like below:
 - videos, with share name attribute: public/videos (wich is the path to movie in the nas) and directories videos
 - audio, public/musiques (in french ;-) , directories audio
 - pictures, public/photos, directories pictures
is the directories parameters working with non lmce structure ??



Thank's for the time to read my post.

Users / mythtv more stable

« on: April 24, 2008, 08:16:16 am »

I use infinity usb + newcs + sasc + mythtv (0710 B4)

I had some crash problem with mythv. I "fixed" (it is a little bit more stable) it with changing in the mythtv-frontend configuration the port of remote control which was exactly the same I used with newcs (10001).
I don't really know if it will help people however, you can check.
