Vicpa 608 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Hi All, In my internet travels, I came across this as a related project to a program I use. I am not a programmer so I don't know if it is of any value. But I thought I would pass it along. Description and link below. "Project DescriptionManagedUPnP is a library built in .NET 4 using C# for Visual Studio 2010 Express.It uses the Microsoft UPnP COM Implementation.It provides these features as a fully Managed code set: Easily discover services and / devices using synchronous or asynchronous methods. Use the UPnPDiscovery component, by dropping it on a form for easy asynchronous discovery of devices and services. Load the device service descriptions, to determine the actions / arguments, and state variables supported by a device into structured classes to determine service capabilities. Dynamically query StateVariables and call service Actions. Generate classes for individual devices / services in the C# or VB.NET language Receive events when evented State Variables change on services Generate a total hierarchical tree of services and device classes for a device in the C# or VB.NET language Has built-in functionality for advanced logging, simply attach to event and enable logging to get logging information in your program" http://managedupnp.codeplex.com/ -Vicpa
Broxy 0 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Hi I've created a pretty solid implementation of a generic UPnP class library that provides identical syntax on Windows Desktop, Surface (Windows Store) and Windows Phone. The work began purely as an experiment to write a simple controller for my Sonos system. The library consists of a generic source code base with differing builds for each target platform. The design decouples general purpose UPnP management from device/manufacturer specifics, so could be used to create controllers for any UPnP based music system. This is all very recent work and coded entirely in C#, I'm a seasoned professional software developer so this is not some weekend "hack" that I strung together either! The stuff you saw based on COM will not work on Surface or Phone either, I'm pleased with the design I have but have been so busy at my daytime job to spend much time on this recently though I do have a basic working controller for my Surface that allows volume, base, treble etc and selection of preset radio stations. I may do something with this work when I get some time. Broxy.

cracksloth 26 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I personally would really appreciate if MB had the ability to browse\stream DLNA shares from other devices/apps. Also the ability to control DMRs from the web interface "now playing" screen (volume control seems to work but just adding play/pause would be really great). Anyway, just food for thought!

I briefly perused Github but didnt find the UPnP stuff, I'd be interested to take a look. The model Ive designed is quite powerful and can create C# device/service classes from the raw device/service xml. A lot of stuff in UPnP is weakly documented as you'll know, creating a generic/correct model while also being tolerant of manufacturer idiosyncracies has been challenging too from a design standpoint.

Broxy. This project: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowser/tree/master/MediaBrowser.Dlna We also have some plain model objects here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowser/tree/master/MediaBrowser.Model/Dlna Those are both part of the same solution.
