Bug - PlayTo in Mono 4.4.0

[anderbytes 140]

Hello, I've noticed that after updating Mono to new stable 4.4.0 I can't play DLNA properly.

 

After some investigation... I found in log that was something related to PlayTo feature (being able to control device via DLNA).

 

After disabling PlayTo, everything works fine.

 

Here is the log. please take a look around time 20:25:50

 

 

 

ps: It is 10% possible that Mono is not the sole cause... because I've also been reinstalling some packages manually (Python-related)...

Just informing...

[anderbytes 140]

No... it didnt work, actually.

 

Will dig more...

Damn.

 

Anyone else with Mono 4.4.0 experiencing DLNA Issues??

[anderbytes 140]

Some help here, devs. I can't play anything anymore... not even from DLNA or TV app (Samsung tested).

 

Here are more logs.

Look how many ** Error Report ** are there... lots.

@@Luke, I guess moving to 4.4.0 was not a smart move... after all   :-(

 

Can you try to understand what those new errors mean? Or should I find some way to rollback to 4.2.4.4 ?

I'm not sure yet. if you need an immediate solution then yes I would go back to mono 4.2.3.4.

Rolling back to 4.2.4.4 did the trick.

I hope you use the logs above to understand what happened I see some different sorts of problems there...

No issues here with mono 4.4.0 on ubuntu 16.04.  I just test dlna with bubbleupnp on my android phone and it played something from emby fine.

 

I do run emby in its own LXC container and all that is installed is emby and its dependancies and mono from the official mono repo.

Excellent, thanks for the report.

Playing from the LXC probably was a smart move.

But you only tested from the Android phone? No TV? Is there a LG or Samsung TV to test there?

No smart TVs here.  I have an openelec chromebox and some sort of android box running kodi in the bedroom.  I do have a ps3 I can hook up and see if dlna works with it.

[anderbytes 140]

Any luck?

[kjp4756 41]

PS3 works fine.  No errors or crashes.

@@Luke, anything interest on the logs I posted?

 

I don't like my software outdated... and Mono is no exception  ;-)

[Luke 38844]

There are some changes on the beta channel for mono 4.4.

[anderbytes 140]

Thanks for the attention to Linux, Luke

Is the 3.1.47 already in the Debian packages? I can't seem to find it through the regular apt-get update && apt-get upgrade ..

 

Thanks!

[Luke 38844]

It's still at 3.1.44. It's all automated and I don't see any failures, so I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

Ok, you may just want to run 4.2.3.4 for now. Thanks.
