Hello, I have a WD TV hub that can expose files via DLNA protocol.

What should I setup to be able to access the music in there from Amarok?

I have avahi working, but I can only see the remote folder with it, and I see nothing at all from Amarok. There are some posts here and there stating Amarok has this feature since 2.4.1. How can I make it work?

I'm running OpenSUSE 11.4 Tumbleweed, KDE 4.7.1 and Amarok 2.4.3.

Thanks for any help

You need the upnp-ms KIO slave. I think this is available somewhere in the KDE factory repositories for OpenSUSE, and is hosted here: https://gitorious.org/kio-upnp-ms

The Hupnp lib is there, but the kio seems to be merged in some other package. I guess I'll have to wait until it is released. I tried to build from source, but it needs a Hupnp cmake module that is not there, probably in the new release of kdelibs.
The Hupnp package, on the other hand, does not include a devel one.
Dependency hell.

I'll come back to it when kde 4.8 is here. It would be great if there were a way to test it first, though.

Hi,

kio-upnp-ms require Herqq SVN Revision 55. Prior or later version requires patch (so **** hard to find) and does not support all features, so just forget it

I made a herqq (HUpnp library) package for Archlinux. Here are the commands :

Download : http://github.com/nikhilm/kio-upnp-ms/tarball/v0.8.0
And extract the tarball.

Code: Select all

   svn co -r 55  https://hupnp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/hupnp hupnp
   cd "$srcdir/hupnp/trunk/herqq"

   qmake -recursive
   make || return 1
   
   cd "$srcdir/hupnp/trunk/herqq"
   make install
   
   mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/lib"

   install -m 644 "$srcdir/hupnp/trunk/herqq/hupnp/bin/libHUpnp.so.1.0.0" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/libHUpnp.so"
   ln -s "$pkgdir/usr/lib/libHUpnp.so" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/libHUpnp.so.1"
   
   install -m 644 "$srcdir/hupnp/trunk/herqq/hupnp/bin/libQtSolutions_SOAP-2.7.so.1.0.0" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/libQtSolutions_SOAP-2.7.so"
   ln -s "$pkgdir/usr/lib/libQtSolutions_SOAP-2.7.so" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/libQtSolutions_SOAP-2.7.so.1"

   mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/include"
   cp -r "$srcdir/hupnp/trunk/herqq/hupnp/deploy/include/HUpnpCore" "$pkgdir/usr/include"
   rm -r "$srcdir/hupnp/trunk/herqq/hupnp/include/HUpnpCore/public"
   rm -r "$srcdir/hupnp/trunk/herqq/hupnp/include/HUpnpCore/private"
   cp $srcdir/hupnp/trunk/herqq/hupnp/include/HUpnpCore/* "$pkgdir/usr/include/HUpnpCore"
   chmod -R 644 "$pkgdir/usr/include/HUpnpCore"
   chmod 755 "$pkgdir/usr/include/HUpnpCore"
   chmod 755 "$pkgdir/usr/include/HUpnpCore/public"
   chmod 755 "$pkgdir/usr/include/HUpnpCore/private"

Define $pkgdir & $srcdir and you're done.

For kio-upnpn-ms :

Code: Select all

_dirname='nikhilm-kio-upnp-ms-2e86418';
   
   cd "$srcdir/$_dirname"
   mkdir -p "$srcdir/$_dirname/cmake/modules"
   cp "$srcdir/FindHUpnp.cmake" "$srcdir/$_dirname/cmake/modules"
   patch -p1 < "$srcdir/CMakeLists-build-fix.patch"
   mkdir build && cd build
   cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` || return 1
   make || return 1
   make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install || return 1

Save this : http://pastebin.com/tjsMaLV3 AS CMakeLists-build-fix.patch

EDIT : I see you're an ArchLinux user, I have just sent today kio-upnp-ms package on AUR

EDIT2 : I've add kio-upnp-ms tarball url.

Thanks! I'll try to build in my OpenSuse laptop, which is the one I am using.

I'll install that package on my Arch desktop too.

I have tried to install the git package from AUR, however still no luck in getting Amarok to discover my dlna server. Do I need to do some additional configuration?

Thanks.

Have you checked your firewall config to make sure those ports are open?

Yep, no blocking firewall.

I tried to use kio upnp-ms in dolphin. In the status bar, it said no hostname specified despite me trying to put it there and in .xsession-errors I found:

kioslave: ####### CRASH ###### protocol = upnp-ms pid = 2223 signal = 11

Note that I am running Arch latest. I have not tried using uuid instead of hostname.

AFAIK upnp-ms support only UUID for now...

Ok, that would explain Dolphin's behavior. Still, shouldn't it work automatically in Amarok? In Plugins section, I have UPnP Collection turned on. And just for a completeness sake, I am running TwonkyMedia as the dlna server.

Does

Code: Select all

ps -e |grep cagibid

Give something ? (it should)

Ok, it did not My fault. I've installed cagibi, ran it. While it was running, I started Amarok (and restarted it a couple of times, just to make sure), however nothing new appeared in the Local Music section.

Also, I tried to use the proper uuid in dolphin, with no luck, it still keeps crashing.

Also note that Cagibi has discovered my dlna server (afaik).

Any news on this? I'd really love to use amarok for listening to my music collection on my nas using upnp.
