upnp (DLNA) never find any files, just directories

Using Serviio as a server (which works with other dlna players including vlc on Amazon Fire V1 devices) On the amazon Fire TV v2 When ever you browse to a directory you get directory is empty, no files are ever shown for photos , audio or video. I tried the standard version available in the amazon store and the latest nightly build. Posted on the forum , but no responses

added Platform::Android Severity::blocker Type::bug + 1 deleted label

changed milestone to %Bugs paradize

just tried again and the fire tv v1 device was updated to the latest release and has now stopped working. If i side load the earliest version of 2.0.0 from 13 june 2016 dlna works fine n my v2 device, so something has been changed since then to stop it

2.1.4 tested?

As stated in the original report yes. Even though the Fire TV v2 is officially an Arm 8 device I tried both Arm 7 & 8 no differentce with the following binaries

VLC-Android-2.1.4-20170412-0055-ARMv8.apk VLC-Android-2.1.4-20170412-0248-ARMv7.apk

Just seen this has also been logged vlc-android#252 (closed)

in the last 6 hours as well

These also work VLC-Android-2.0.5-20160804-0857-ARMv8.apk VLC-Android-2.0.5-20160804-1319-ARMv8.apk (Last one to work)

the next builds available on https://nightlies.videolan.org/build/android-armv8a/ are 2.1

Looks like it got broken in the 2.1.0 builds as early builds for example VLC-Android-2.1.0-20160802-1220-ARMv8.apk When you select the dlna server you just get pushed back to the screen where you select the dlna server

by build VLC-Android-2.1.0-20161125-0914-ARMv8.apk ( although GUI looks very strange) you can select the dlna server, but all directories are empty

on build

VLC-Android-2.1.0-20170115-0052-ARMv8.apk

Gui looks normal but no files shown

OK. Could you, by any chance, try the last WINDOWS nightly build in DLNA?

Same problem on my Android TV (latest store version) - I can see the folders but no files

On my Android phone (latest store version) - Revision 30ebb0d VLC: b4b26b9 (2016-09-12= ARMv8 - everything works fine, I can see and play the files

On my Desktop (Linux), version VLC 2.2.4 - everything works fine, I can see and play the files

So it seems to only affect Android TV.

Sorry, I asked for the nightly build versions, on purpose...

I tried the nighly vlc-3.0.0-20170413-0508-git-win64.exe and the response when clickin on the local network / UNiversal plug n play was nothing

It did not even trigger the firewall to make a connection.

I tried the main release 2.2.4 and it did try to connect , but nothing on the serviio server, and no directories were shown.

I remember you used to have to change a setting to get upnp working but could not find anything about that in the current release, is upnp now enabled by default ?

vlc works well (apart from ranson crashes after an hour or so) on the version 2.0.5-20160804-1319-ARMv8.apk on my fire

The dlna server works fine on both the above vlc , and a number of TVs, so the dlna server is ok

Yes, but once again, we don't care about past software, but only about the current development: nightly builds and Android TV 2.1.4 versions.

Something is wrong in our UPnP code then.

Could you test a Win32 nightly build from early March, by any chance?

Sorry about before, I have now tested the 2.1.4 Android TV build (I have no Win devoce to test the Win32 version you rquested). The files are still not shown, the only difference is that the folders now show a screenshot from one of the video files in the folder (I am guessing the first file)

tried vlc-3.0.0-20170301-0249-git-win32.exe worked perfectly
