MediaBrowser with XBOX 360 Client

I wonder if you have some misconfiguration somewhere. I have an xbox 360 and mbs and they see each other. 

 

Windows 8.1 or Windows 7? 32 bit or 64bit?

Windows 8.1 64bit.

 

The strange thing is Xbox360 can see plex, PC, XBMX/Kodi, Mezzmo & Serviio, but will not see MediaBrowser.

Media Browser see's the 360 in the devices list but not the other way round.

 

Attached logs show comms betwwen the 2 but nothing more. MB3 sends a response 200. is that normal????

 

Thanks for help guys.

OK Restarted MB3 so it would restart the log and then tried to view from 360.

 

Same as before. not seen but my plan it to result in a much smaller log file to sift through. Looks normal to me but by no means an expert.

If anyone see's anything I'm missing please let me know. Much appreciated.

 

Cheers

I am running on windows 7 64bit. 

 

I made a mistake though. I saw my HTPC name on there and I thought it was the media browser server but it was something else. So, mediabrowser can send a video to xbox 360. After updating to the latest dev built last night i was able to test two movies and they started fine. Today I only get playback error.

Luke, I can confirm this too. MBS 3.0.5510.32602 can see the 360 but the System video player on the 360 cannot see the MBS sever. Server is on Win7 Ult x64

I have always had the same, Not able to see the MB DLNA server from xbox. Anyone here tried playto xbox from one of the mobile apps? They can see the XBOX and it plays, however its stutters everso slightly on and off making the film unwatchable. its as if the film has Hicups as my 3year old puts it.

As some can see from XBOX no probs and others can't could it be an issue with different flavours of XBOX doing things slightly differently with DLNA.

 

e.g. Fat or Slim xbox, then there is corona, trinity e.t.c

Also in my case it is a UK model 

 

It could be a waste of time thinking this way though cos as far as I was aware despite differing hardware they all run the same software (or do they)

 

Just thinking aloud really.

It is odd as I know MB is aware of the XBOX, I can see it in the logs and my tablet can see it as a playto device. My XBOX just refuses to see it from System Video play

 

I have the Slim 4gb 360 Uk, but don't know what difference it should make as it should all be more or less the same.

From what I can gather and my VERY limited knowledge looking at logs e.t.c

Both devices attempt a handshake regards DLNA but it is a handshake the xbox doesnt seem to be satisfied with

Right now I think we just need someone with an xbox who has the know how to figure out what's missing. It appears the devices are talking to each other, but the xbox isn't displaying the server for whatever reason.

I have an xbox and am a developer. Maybe not in the language MB3 is in but I maybe able to help and am more than happy to.

 

Not even looked into what MB3 is coded in, please let me know in any way I can assist and I will.

 

Happy to get my hands dirty and contribute.... 

 

 

Let me know how I can help luke... don't know enough about MB3's architecture to know where to start tbh.. and with a family you know what it's like lol

great, thanks. before even worrying about coding i think it's a matter of looking at the communication between the two devices to try and find out what's missing or what's incorrect. then once we know what that is we can go to the code and easily correct it.

Hi Luke,

 

I have a capture file monitoring comms from MB3 <-> Xbox but it won't allow me to upload a .cap   ..

Can I email or let me know another method I can get it to you.

 

I created from Microsoft Network Monitor and if you open it in that it lets you select to only show Mediabrowser traffic e.t.c

 

Thanks again,

Matt

I was under the impression you wanted me to provide more detailed comms between the 2 devices.

 

I have looked and can see chatter between the 2 but nothing that stood out to me.

From what I can see the xbox says hello anybody there and the mediabrowser hears this and responds with :

Looks fine to me or is a mandatory field missing ?!?!?! Will keep digging.

I think the best solution here is in comparing the 2 attached files....

 

MB3.txt is the response MB3 is giving when the xbox360 polls

 

GenericMS.txt is the valid response a GenericMediaServer is giving when polled.

The generic media server is seen immediately.

 

There are a number of differences but many of them are optional data. Maybe Luke or someone else with more dlna knowledge than myself will spot the field that matters.

 

Thanks

genericMS.txt

MB3.txt
