Dear all, It seems like the openhab community is focused on Sonos only. I was wondering if anyone else has the need for a DLNA binding? Unfortunately I do not have the programming skills, but I’d be happy to support this activity with testing as much as i can… Thanks and regards

[image] 5iver: This is what I was referring to. IMO, the Channel name is fine, but it wold be better to have a more descriptive label… That should be better now in the development version on my github. I now create these extra channels dynamically, after checking if they exist in the renderer…

@5iver I have done some work, but didn’t test it yet. The code is on github. [image] Mherwege: Could indeed be useful to provide a minimal renderer control channel on the server thing. That will require some coding. Implemented. [image] Mherwege: Indeed, waiting for a response before do…

[image] Mherwege: @5iver I have done some work, but didn’t test it yet. The code is on github. I usually skip checks and tests when I build, but I didn’t the first time and CAT complained about spaces rather than tabs in the things-types.xml. The dynamic Channels for the UPnPRenderer work pro…

After playing with it some more, sending 0 to currentid is not working. Actually, I had browsing hang up on me a couple times after using it… stopped browsing.log (32.7 KB)

[image] 5iver: Is the intention to configure the Stop Items with autoupdate=“false”? The trouble with this is that the Alexa skill does not work with Items that have this setting. At least, it didn’t at some point and I am not aware of it changing. That’s a problem. The channel definition for…

[image] Is autoupdate="false" allowed? Amazon Alexa @jeshab , could you please provide an update on whether Items with autoupdate=“false” are able to be used with the skill? This post leads me to believe that they are not… but is this still correct? https://com…

[image] 5iver: Playlist stops When playing a playlist, the music sometimes just stops… Looking at the log, there is a check if the URI has been set before starting to play. The timeout is 2.5s on that. The URI is set after the message it was missing according to the log (but the message was …

[image] 5iver: Or maybe Play could start on it’s own after a successful search. If implemented, all you’d need is to set the state of Search to play a playlist. True, but I opted for consistency with the browse channel. When browsing, you may be going up and down the tree, and only start play…

[image] Mherwege: I added a log statement to see the exact cause. Info was starting to get lost here, so I opened an issue to track it better… [upnpcontrol] Playlists stop occasionally opened 08:37PM - 20 Aug 20 UTC (UTC) …

[image] 5iver: Looks good, except for the Player, which looks to be UNDEF after changing the renderer. I would need a log here. It is supposed to refresh the status, and will only put it to UNDEF if it does not receive anything. I have multiple servers, but only on renderer in my test setup, …
