Upnp playlist shows no devices

    • Closed Issue created by mesb @mesb

    After choosing Universal Plug'n'Play it shows nothing there. Only message: Playlist is currently empty, after few clicking "Universal Plug'n'Play" this message changes to blank.

    Tested on: vlc-3.0.0-git-20150502-0002-win32.zip

    Windows 7 32bit. Try run in admin mode and user mode.

    DLNA servers: xupnpd 1.033 minidlna

    Vlc 2.0.8 still works ok.

    To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information

      Could you:

      • Post the equivalent logs for VLC 2.0.8
      • Try with latest stable (ie. 2.2.1)?

      At least it's not due to the module rewrite since it was already failing in 2.2, however I'm a bit out of ideas when it comes to the actual cause...

      My best guess would be that it's due to 683ff74a. I'll investigate further in the next days.

      Also will check vlc on win 8.1 after 4 may. Starting from bugs like 9501/14333 (problem with content browse), there was some strangeness, part of users say that it's ok(for devices find), but thay check it on win8.1 64bit. May be it is something wrong there with 32/64 bit part?

      Found. While tests. Win7 book connectedto wifi. 208 ok 300 no. Win7 book connectedto wire. 208 ok 300 ok.

      Tested with 8.1 32bit: wifi: 208 - ok; 300 - no wire: 208 - ok; 300 - ok

      While on wifi, vlc3 upnp discovery not working. On wire it becomes working.

      Thanks! Will be ready for testing purposes. Are we need test upnp dlna under linux? Or there is no any problems like we have under win?

      upnp: Fix some libupnp bugs

Those patches prevent an infinite loop when specifying an interface name, and
avoid using a down interface as the defautl interface.

      You will need to wait until the contribs snapshot gets updated before seeing any change. It might take a week or so.

      upnp is still not working - none of the upnp sources show up:

      macosx - wifi - end of may version of vlc 3.0.0

      (at least its not crashing anymore :-) )

      (I will check with different connections, wifi and a few Windows versions in a few days)

      In my win7/64-bit environment, the following nightly builds of VLC had detected, and enumerated UPnP devices and parsed their containers properly:

      vlc-3.0.0-git-20150308-0402-win64\ vlc-3.0.0-git-20150308-0003-win32\ vlc-3.0.0-git-20150309-0002-win32\ vlc-3.0.0-git-20150301-0402-win64\ vlc-3.0.0-git-20150224-1301-win64\ vlc-3.0.0-git-20150224-1839-win32\ vlc-3.0.0-git-20150126-0402-win64\ vlc-3.0.0-git-20150126-0002-win32\

      (All builds after 20150308, fail to parse/browse the child containers (plugin rewrite?))

      However, recently, those same builds were failing with -\ upnp info: Initializing libupnp on '(null)' interface\ upnp error: Initialization failed: UPNP_E_SOCKET_ERROR\

      After trial and error, I was able to get the above builds to work again by disabling the _Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter_.

      1. Observations for the specific versions listed above:\ Virtual Adapter enabled - UPNP_E_SOCKET_ERROR \ Virtual Adapter disabled - UPnP enumeration/parsing success\ Virtual Adapter enabled, with IPv4 unbound(unchecked) - UPnP enumeration/parsing success\ (This was over a _physical wifi adapter_ active connection using IPv4)

      2. Observations in testing the most recent versions, including vlc-3.0.0-git-20150704-0402-win64:\ a) The MSFT Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter can remain enabled.\ b) However the child objects in the containers are still not enumerated/listed.

      Consequently, my current workaround is to use the versions that tested ok above, and disable the Virtual Adapter.

      Also a problem in Mac version 3.0.0. You right click on UPNP and try to enable it but it remains disabled.

      problem persists with the most current nightly: vlc-3.0.0-git-20160405-0402-win64.exe running on Windows 10

      I suggest to remove that feature from vlc as it is broken since > vlc 2.08
