Interesting...
We just ask for all of the fields with a search from the root asking for audio, video and images then parse what we get back into our database.

BTW, I've done a lot of testing with the Whitebear media server http://www.whitebear.ch/mediaserver and MC with a squeezebox radio and it works really well and we've had very good interactions with the developer.

Meh. What I want is for a Squeezebox to be able to directly use a DLNA server instead of squeezecenter. IMO MC is a 1000X better than squeezecenter. I mean is Logitek selling hardware or software? Why lock it down to squeezecenter? I would buy a Touch right now if they added DLNA or would actually use my SB3 if it got it.

I don't think that the Squeezebox supports DLNA.

If you get an Android device like the Samsung Galaxy Tab, you can use our Gizmo software for control.

Take a look at Whitebear.  It adds a DLNA layer.

So if I get this correcty with whitebear I can use squeezebox devices as zones on MC, control them with gizmo and still they retain all their inherent features.
like sync playing, etc.

This is interesting, I've set up Whitebear alongside Squeezeserver and I see the players as zones in MC :-)

Time to play

FYI.  UPnP/DLNA apparently works now with SqueezeCenter 7.6 beta (@ SVN revision 31869)

MC works now with r31869. There seems to be an issue in the MC HTTP
client, it sends all POST requests with 2 null bytes at the end, which
our XML parser doesn't like. I added a workaround.

Just curious: are the null bytes required for HTTP POSTs from MC15 for other reasons?

Can squeeze server forward Wimp or Spotify libraries?

Not sure this is the right place to air this out, but I just downloaded and installed the latest Whitebear 2.1.0.1433 and it seems to work, but I am having one slight problem right off the bat: the time shown on my Squeezebox 2 is fine; the MC15 elapsed time goes to about 4 or 5 seconds and then starts over at 0:00 and counts repeatedly to 4 or 5 seconds...I have tried this with 3 minute songs and 68 minute tracks; no difference.

FYI: I am using MC 15.0.174

Any suggestions?

Thx!

This version of the WhiteBear server isn't responding to the AvTransportInfo:GetPositionInfo calls (I verified this with the intel device spy tool). It's mentioned in the release notes for the WhiteBear server under "Know Issues" (For the Play-To function on Sqeezebox players for some control points, even though the music is playing, the player status is not always well synchronized).
