Ubuntu :: How To Use PulseAudio Via DLNA / UPNP Client
Feb 21, 2010
I've noticed in my karmic Koala pulseaudio has many options to make my sound discoverable via upnp/dlna server. I've got a ps3 and a Pinnacle Soundbridge, suitable for this protocol and working fine with mt-daapd or ushare. But I would like to use mplayer and making the sound available to my devices. I've activated the options in Pulseaudio (paprefs) but can't play music in my client device and I can't see the server in the lan.
This is my config:
sound Preferences
> output > DLNA/upnp Streaming (stereo)
paprefs
-Tab Network access
click on "make discoverable Pulseaudio network sound devices available locally" & same for "[...] Apple Airtunes"
-Tab Network server
All options clicked on
-Tab Multicast RTP
Enabled "receiver", enabled "sender" and selected "send audio from local speakers"
-Tab simultaneous output
Not enabled
Padevchooser
- Default server: my pc
- Default sink: DLNA/upnp Streaming
- Default source: internal analog Stereo
Can't see any upnp server.

It even has a great android app. It does a great job automatically organizing all my movie and tv show files. I was though quite disappointed when i found out it didnt have upnp support anymore and therefore would not stream things to my WD TV Live, etc.
I know how to easily setup a dlna server using minidlna or ushare, but neither would automatically refresh my file listings (if you tried a cron, it would interrupt the current stream and of course I would prefer as close to real time updates as possible). It also of course didnt provide any automatic naming/organizing/images of the videos that Plex would do.
Any recommendations on what might be available out there that would provide all the features I mentioned above, but would provide the data in a more standard format like upnp/dlna instead of the proprietary format that Plex offers? I am also open to ideas that would get Plex to work with the WDTV Live.

I'm not sure what changed but when I recently upgraded via yum to Kernel 2.6.34 none of my uPnP or DLNA apps show up on my tvs (Sony TV and PS3). Booting an older version, i.e. 2.6.33 solves the problem with no other changes. I use MediaTomb, MythTV uPNP server and Serviio. All work fine except with the newest kernel.

Has anyone else come across the following issue in the 11.04 beta?
For some reason I can't see Rhythmbox as a DLNA server anymore and its stopped working as a DLNA client. I've reported it as a bug here -> [URL]
Am I the only one missing this feature?

I've had nothing but trouble with Pulseaudio in Fedora 14. I had managed to get rid of it in Fedora 10 with the command: su -c "yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio pulseaudio" I just don't want to have to deal with Pulseaudio anymore. It does not like my sound card and gets in the way. Is there a Linux distribution that does not use Pulseaudio ?

I've seen Mediatomb recommended but I had trouble setting it up previously. Is there a simple solution for watching stuff on my computer on my TV via the network?

I'm trying to set up rygel as a dlna server for my Panasonic TV set. I've already got minidlna working, but since it doesn't support transcoding there are some file that the tv set won't play. Therefore I decided to try to get rygel running with my 11.04 installation.The problem is that neither the tv set nor the windows media player of my Win7 computer sees the rygel server. They can both see minidlna, so I don't think that there is a client problem. I also installed upnp-inspector on my server and the same thing is true there - rygel is not found but minidlna is.My rygel confi file looks like this:
Code:
# Configuration file for Rygel

It seems that with ufw enabled It is impossible for upnp applications to negociate with the network router the ports they need to be opened. Is there any way to make ufw and upnp work together?

My TV is DLNA-enabled. On Windows 7, I can right click and play on my TV.
Is there such a thing for Linux? Using FC.

I've got an old Xbox set-up as a NAS. Its running Xebian with samba and SWAT. All seems to work with the other PCs on the network. I have just bought a smartbox FetchTV box to watch HD freeview TV. This will also play media stored on the network but I need a dlna server. Can I make my Xbox do this? Is it something in samba or do I need some extra software?

I have a Samsung TV that can be and is connected via DLNA with my XP machines wirelessly. There is NO WAY I can make it see my Ubuntu machine though.I have the 10.04 and I have tried almost all the available programs for this OS.Name it and I have tried it: Mediatomb,ushare, PS3MediaServer and others that I cannot recall right now.These programs are installed with no errors and they look like they run correctly, their web interfaces work fine but that's all.None of them has been ever found by the TV,-but it can see the native Samsung program PC Share runnning on the XPs.What's the problem with my Ubuntu system and it cannot be recognised by the TV?It's not that it won't play this or that file. It's that it won't see the server AT ALL.

I have a PC running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I have about 50GB of music in the Music library. I can connect from, play to, and download music to my DLNA enabled phone (Samsung Galaxy S), everything works fine.
When I start Rhythmbox on my laptop (Ubuntu 10.10), it sees my PC (appears under "Shared" in the left panel), but the tracks won't show on the list, it seems as if it fails to retreive the list of media. No matter how long I wait, nothing happens, the tracklist remains empty forever.
I have installed the "coherence" plugin from the Software Center.
I'll attach the console output rhythmbox generates when starting up,
Sidenote: it works the other way around, I can "Play to..." Rhythmbox from Windows Media Player.
Code:
andras@ANDRAS-LAPTOP:~$ rhythmbox

I'm having trouble playing back videos from a DLNA device in Ubuntu 11.04, and I'm not sure where the problem lies.
Using the software manager I've installed the extra plugins package for Totem, and enabled the Coherence DLNA/UPNP plugin. I can see the device (Humax Freeview HD recorder) in the MediaServers list, and can browse through the programmes I've recorded on it. However, trying to play any of the has no effect, the main part of the window still shows the "clapperboard" graphic.
I noticed that the "recent files" filenames that were appearing on the Movie menu didn't match the ones that were listed in the sidebar - they're of the form e.g. 313.TS rather than the original descriptive name with a .ts extension. Running Totem from a shell prompt, I can see the following console output: request to play: Man on Earth_20110622_0508.ts 013311314 http://192.168.254.1:9000/web/media/313.TS I tried entering that URL into Firefox, and it started downloading okay; according to the LiveHTTPHeaders addon the response headers are
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Server: HUMAX / MicroMediaServer
Accept-Range: bytes
Content-Type: video/ts
Content-Length: 1799258112
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-Control: no-cache
Why can't Totem play the file? Some other codec needed for video/ts files that I've not got installed? (it hasn't prompted me to install any extra packages) Does it just not like the fact the file extension is upper case? Or something else entirely?
On a separate machine, also running Ubuntu 11.04, I installed the VideoLan client; VLC can browse to the files and play them without any problem. So why can't Totem?

I just ran some system updates today. MySQL was among them. after rebooting. I got a message I haven't seen since I was first installing several months ago. I couldn't connect to the database.
At first, I freaked out because I didn't know what to do. I tried checking my passwords, but I still don't understand all the configuration for MySQL. I tried reconfiguring the myth packages, but couldn't get through the setup. It would just bounce me out after a few attempts because of incorrect password sets.
I finally figured out, from the logs, that MySQL hadn't logged anything since it's 'successful shutdown' after the updates. It hadn't even tried to come on. I started it manually and everything seems to be fine, but how do I get it to start at startup again?

I have a setup with a mythtv backend that streams media via the built in upnp to two xbox 360s. This works perfect at the moment. However I need a command/script that can identify if either of the two xbox's are connected via upnp. I need this so that I can have the system auto shutdown if no one is connected using the existing mythtv sleep wake features. (Basically if a script returns 1 then dont shutdown if returns 0 then shutdown.)
Code:
if upnp is connected then
dont shutdown
else
shutdown
fi
Thanks
Chris

I am a complete newbie to linux and Fedora, having previously used Windows/Vista. I have a Netgear router which is configured to allow upnp, and i use deluge as my bittorrent client, though would use either transmission or deluge. I used deluge on windows and upnp worked fine, but now i am usisng fedora with the same settings it doesnt work.
In Deluge (or Transmission) UPnP is ticked and i have limited port range to on port say 57000. In Router config UPnP is ticked. In the Fedora firewall i have gone in and set it up to allow the specified port, say 57000 in other ports.

I've been trying without success for sometime now to find a linux upnp renderer. I've tried to install gmediarender but it will not install on my laptop. I have tried XBMC but was hoping for something a bit lighter (like geexbox). Something that comes in a live cd form would be best.

i run ubuntu 9.10. i have updated all installed packages. i run a 32bit 3.6 ghz intel p4 dual core with three monitors running on two video cards. all this works correctly. i am able to play video in video player and audacious2 on any monitor.
i'm trying to run a upnp media server for my house. myself and both my tenants have playstation 3s, and i would like to host music, music videos, original content, and the backup copies of legally purchased dvds over the network. i recently converted from windows xp, and all of my media files were created by vlc on windows xp, ripped with winamp, edited and rendered with sony vegas, or downloaded from videos. i have tried both mediatomb (from the repository) and fuppes (from subversion) and had the same result with both.
basically, whenever the media center tries to populate the database and search the files, ffmpeg returns an error that crashes the media center. i do not know enough to implement better error handling in the source. both media servers, when running in the terminal, eventually return the same error message when scanning my sepearate hard drive for media. (~100gb of mp3, avi, mpeg, and mp4 files)
error code: /build/buildd/ffmpeg-0.5+svn20090706/libavformat/mov.c:1456: mov_read_trak: assertion `st->duration % sc->time_rate == 0' failed.
the process then ends.the weird thing is that this does not happen when i disable mp4 files in mediatomb (although i have not figured out how to replicate this feature in fuppes) so i have reason to believe that something in the metadata for mp4 files is throwing ffmpeg off. even if the metadata is bad in the mp4 file, it shouldn't cause a crash.
i tried to compile mediatomb without ffmpeg support, but the ./configure script returned errors whenever i tried to append an option to the configure command. i then reinstalled all the ffmpeg packages in the symantec package manager and still no luck.

I have been trying to find something that does this for some time now and discussions on IRC didn't turn up anything usefull - thats why this post for a prolonged discussion I have Ubuntu Server 10.4 installed (no X) and am trying to use it as an upnp media renderer. I would like to be able to playback their music on the servers soundcard from various devices. Thus it would be nice to have the ubuntu server expose an upnp media-renderer which one can use as an output device.
Is there a suggestion on which software to use? What I already have working is an upnp media-server (mediatomb) with ampache, but this isn't really what I'd like since I don't have as much disk-space on the server as I have on the various computers.

I've recently moved my media center pc from windows 7 to Ubuntu, now while on windows 7. I used the machine with XBMC and utorrent with upnp enabled on my router (Netgear WNR2000 v1) and also in the utorrent client for the port mapping. I was also able to connect to the machine from work via remote desktop (via Windows RDP, real/ultra vnc) using either a windows machine or via ubuntu that I have installed on a laptop (externally to my network). Utorrent also was able to talk to my router and ask for the ports it needed via uPnp or even by setting the port forwarding manually.
Since upgrading ( ) to Ubuntu from windows 7 on my mediacenter pc I've not been able to connect via RDP / VNC using port forwarding from the outside world although I added ports 5900 and (i beleive) 3389 to the port forwarding section in my router and pointing it to the static ip on my mediacenter. I'm also not able to get the ports to forward for deluge / vuze at all, if i manaually set port forwarding up then nothing happens and deluge says it has no incoming connections and it also doesn't talk to my router to ask for ports via upnp.
The same also holds true for the linux version of sopcast which will not connect to any streams. I can also replicate the same issue on a laptop that I use with ubuntu installed. If I watch my upnp page on my router config then I can see that my windows clients (Brother & Mom's macine) both talk to the router and ask it for ports so I assume that the router is working as it should be but obviously the fault happens when my ubuntu )10.04.1) clients ask for any kind of ports. By default is there any kind of firewall installed on ubuntu or anything I need to do to allow it to ask for upnp connections?

Rhythmbox plays local m4a files no problem. I have a few upnp servers running on other machines around the house, mediatomb, tvmobili, vuze, mythtv. Rhythmbox is setup with the coherence plugin and happily plays mp3 from these servers but it cannot 'see' any m4a files via upnp, even though it can play the same files if i copy them to the machine that is running rhythmbox.

The firewall in Fedora 12 seems to block UPnP by default, but opening port 1900 for UDP, as I have seen suggestedes not resolve the problem.have the following three scenarios:Firewall Enabled: Transmission cannot open a port by UPnPFirewall Enabled (1900 UDP allowed): Transmission cannot open a port by UPnPFirewall Disabled: Transmission opens a port via UPnP fineAny ideas? Yes, the port that I'm trying to open is also allowed. Router is a Linksys BEFSR41 v4.3, should you care

I have a strange UPnP problem. I'm running myth tv and want to stream data to other things. How to troubleshoot UPnP because I have a feeling something somewhere is blocking it. I've tried doing a tcpdump eth0 host <mac of requesting agent> and not seen anything but ARP requests when I send it, but not when I ask it, just as normal traffic.

I've got a solid PC w/Xeon dual core, 4gb RAM, and (2) 1Tb Sata HDs - looking to replace a WinXP pc that currently is running PlayOn (for media to the BD player on the TVs) and sharing folders/drives to all the PCs (WinXP, Win7, OSX, and Ubuntu.
I have tried a few distros to get media shared to the BD players, and even a Win7 - but the BD players can't seem to play any of the video files on the newer 'servers' - and only the Win7 even appears to the Sony TV in the living room (even though it can only browse the folders with video files). Another problem with the Win7 being tested for acting as a server - is the Macs cant seem to access the shares (get Access Denied errors).
Wondering if there is any good distro that is mainly setup for sharing files and storage space to all my devices. Thinking of trying FreeNAS, and seeing if I could add the UPnP/DNLA server packages to it?

I have a program called "PortForward" to do the job in Windows... But I've been searching for the better part of 2 hours trying to find one for Linux.
I can use the router's admin interface, but it limits the number of forwards you can add. And I would like to be able to add more simply because the applications I need to forward aren't already included.
