DLNA - PURE Evoke F4 radio

[aequoushumor 0]

All,

 

I'm doing some DLNA-streaming-testing with the beta-branch of the Emby-server (currently 3.1.254.0 beta). My television set (LG Webos) is showing up in the emby-device-list and starting a stream to the tv is working just fine. 

 

Unfortunately my PURE Evoke F4 internet radio is not showing up in the device-list and therefore it's not possible to stream music to the device. 

 

In the menu's of the radio itself, emby-server is showing and it is possible to select the 'songs' view and start to play music from there. However when selecting the 'albums' view, I'm getting a media server connection error.

 

I already did some testing with other DLNA-servers (twonkymedia and BubbleDlna). With these servers, the radio was showing up as a DLNA-renderer/receiver and it's possible to start a stream. On the radio itself, the 'album' view is accessible without error.

 

I'm seeing an error in the emby-logs when I try to open the 'albums' view. Full log attached. F4 has IP 192.168.1.86, ubuntu-server 192.168.1.20

Hi, thanks for the report. I can make the error go away, although we have not yet implemented X-BrowseByLetter so I'm not sure what the result is going to be. It's either going to be blank or just send back everything i would imagine.

Will this make the Pure evoke radio available as an DLNA-player in the emby-webinterface ? This feature is actually more important to my setup than the error in the 'album' view.

[Luke 37222]

Probably not, no. I don't have one of those devices for testing so I'm afraid I'm not sure what the issue is. if you attach the complete server log then perhaps i'll be able to spot something.

Luke,

 

Thx for your support. I've attached the full log in the initial post. Do you need more/other logs ?

[Luke 37222]

what is the ip address of the device?

[aequoushumor 0]

the IP-address of the radio is 192.168.1.86 and the server : 192.168.1.20

Ok thanks, I see the issue.

Thx Luke,

 

In "Version 3.1.6193.13362 dev" the radio is detected and can be selected in the dropdown list. I will do some testing streaming music to the dlna-device.

[Luke 37222]

Thanks for the report.

Here are the results of the tests I did with the PURE evoke F4 radio (192.168.1.86): 

 

The device is detected correctly now and shows up in the device-list.

 

• It's possible to start streaming an album, but streaming stops after 1 song.
• The "now playing" - view does not provide any information. No album-art, no progress-bar
• The 'next' 'previous' 'stop' and 'pause' buttons are greyed out
• 'shuffle' button is grayed out
• the volume and mute-buttons are working correctly

There are quite some error-reports in the log file (see attachment). Emby server is running on ubuntu 16.04 and version is : Version 3.1.256.0 beta

Great, thanks for the report.

[aequoushumor 0]

Can I fix this myself by creating a custom DLNA-profile for the Evoke F4 ?

Or will it require devolpment on the server side ?

[Luke 37222]

It will need a little server-side development. thanks.

Luke,

 

Any update on this ?

 

Version 3.1.278.0 beta is still giving me the issues :

 

 

• It's possible to start streaming an album, but streaming stops after 1 song.
• The "now playing" - view does not provide any information. No album-art, no progress-bar
• The 'next' 'previous' 'stop' and 'pause' buttons are not available
• 'repeat' button is grayed out
• the volume and mute-buttons are working correctly

It's using a newer upnp protocol version which we haven't implemented yet. That's why some commands work, which are the same as the older protocol, and that's why others don't. We will look to support it in a future release. Thanks.
