Instructions for using the UPnP Server
Click on Plug-ins in MC's tree, then on UPnP Server. On the right side of the UPnP Server page, set "Options" and then click on "Start" to start the server.
If a media receiver is already on the network, and the server is started, the receiver should pick up the server right away. When a media receiver is first turned on, if the server is already started, the receiver should pick up the server. Some receivers may not do both correctly, so try both.
If you cannot see your view scheme, make sure that:
1) The View Scheme is selected to Show in Theater View (under Edit View Scheme).
2) The View Scheme is a child of "Audio", "Images" or "Video".
OptionsYou can convert files to other formats (such as MP3 or WMA) as they are streamed. See Options on the UPnP page.
If you have multiple network interfaces on your computer, such as an ethernet and a bluetooth interface, you may need to specify the IP address the UPnP server uses (it will only listen on a single interface, and may choose the one the device is not on).
Unless you are reporting log information here, you can turn off many warings by unchecking "Warn on unrecognized NOTIFY".
Checkboxes are available for four
special cases:
1. "Replace Empty Genre" is required for the NETGEAR MP101, and possibly others. It replaces blank genres with "Unknown". The MP101 will otherwise refuse to play tracks with blank genres.
2. "Use Flat URLs" is required for the SMC EZ Stream and the Terratec Noxon. These receivers cannot handle complex URLs (internal to the protocol) and this hack changes the URLs to simpler ones.
3. "Include SessionID" must be turned off for Roku. It may be required for others.
If you know of a device that requires it, please let me know.4. "No server header" must be turned on for the D-Link DSM 320. It stops the emission of an HTTP Server header.
A log is generated on the UPnP Server page in MC. If you have a UPnP device that doesn't work, you can copy the log from MC's UPnP Server (under the tree/plug-ins) and paste it into a thread here. Make sure the "Warn on unrecognized NOTIFY" option is selected before creating the log.
