Odd profile-related problem with WD TV Live

[n3mmr]

I set Audio as "Display Contents Only", and then my WD TV Live couldn't see anything but the audio contents (Audio sub categories, I suppose), irrespective of if I selected "Video" or "Music" on the WD TV Live menues.

Forcing the WD TV Live to be served using the Sony BD profile restored matters.

What part of the profile could cause this???

should not be profile related. Unless it's a cache problem (as changing the profile will remove the cache). Try switching back to WDTV profile.

No, it IS profile related!

For two tested Sony profiles, things work OK, but Generic or WDTVLIVE or Samsung TV/Player (C or D model) has the fault.

If, using one of those three profiles, I switch Presentation for Audio to Display Contents Only, only the Audio Contents menu will be displayed for both Video and Audio selections in the WD TV Live Main Menu.
What I would have considered the "right" way would be to display the audio content, and "Video" as the last menu line. But there's no line "video".

I switched back and forth, both between the two audio presentation settings and the Sony vs the other tested profiles.
In all cases, the fault gets switched on and off by the change

you could capture the packets sent when you browse to the root menu using the 2 different profiles to see the difference.

Profiles with the WMP Device description cheat work, all others have the problem.

Will get back with logs, when I get back from a concert trip (going to hear all Shostakovich String Quartets in numeric order in 5 conseq concerts in 3 days.... Phew!), but in the meantime, maybe someone else with a WD TV Live could test, and maybe people with other renderers.

I had hoped for a comment on the above..

I have a similar setup and I've observed this same behavior where the WDTV (HD) Live only shows <folder_name> [Audio/Folders] when using the Generic DLNA profile. If I use the Sony BD Player / SMP Profile, I see <folder_name> [Video/Folders] - ie. it works as expected. If I use the WDTV Live profile, I see a brief message saying something like "There is no media in the current folder".

I don't think it's a cache related issue since I can edit the profiles.xml file, remove Profile ID 14, make a copy of the Sony BD profile, give the copy Profile ID 14 and name it "WDTV Live" - I can then see [Video/Folders].

Is this a problem on any other device???

post detailed log of when browsing the empty folder via the WDTV profile.

I've observed the same behavior on the software renderer 8player lite.

I think the behavior with the WDTV was caused might have been a result of the way the default profiles.xml file was parsed or maybe there were some control characters that couldn't be seen in the file. The problem I had with the WDTV went away once I had edited the profiles.xml file, deleted the WDTV profile and created a new profile based on the Sony BD profile. Here's the profile I'm using:

  Code:

        <Profile id="14" name="WDTV Live" extendsProfileId="1">
                <Detection>
                        <UPnPSearch>
                                <FriendlyName>WDTV Live</FriendlyName>
                                <Manufacturer>Western Digital</Manufacturer>
                        </UPnPSearch>
                        <HttpHeaders>
                                <X-AV-Client-Info>*WDTV*</X-AV-Client-Info>
                        </HttpHeaders>
                </Detection>
                <DeviceDescription>
                        <!-- act as WMP so that the TV doesn't show root categories -->
                        <ModelName>Windows Media Player Sharing</ModelName>
                        <ModelNumber>3.0</ModelNumber>
                        <Manufacturer>Microsoft Corporation</Manufacturer>
                </DeviceDescription>
                <ContentDirectoryMessageBuilder>org.serviio.upnp.service.contentdirectory.SonyDLNAMessageBuilder</ContentDirectoryMessageBuilder>
                <ContentDirectoryDefinitionFilter>org.serviio.upnp.service.contentdirectory.definition.WMPContentDirectoryDefinitionFilter</ContentDirectoryDefinitionFilter>
                <SubtitlesMimeType>text/srt</SubtitlesMimeType>
                <Transcoding>
                        <Video targetContainer="mpegts">
                                <Matches container="wtv" />
                        </Video>
                        <Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">
                                <Matches container="flv" />
                                <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="vp8" />
                        </Video>
                </Transcoding>
        </Profile>

It's probably 'fixed' by these two lines:

  Code:

<ContentDirectoryMessageBuilder>org.serviio.upnp.service.contentdirectory.SonyDLNAMessageBuilder</ContentDirectoryMessageBuilder>
<ContentDirectoryDefinitionFilter>org.serviio.upnp.service.contentdirectory.definition.WMPContentDirectoryDefinitionFilter</ContentDirectoryDefinitionFilter>


I'll create a ticket to look at this later, but I need someone to post detailed log of browsing to the folder with the original profile.

I'm not 100% sure if this is what you need or not. If it's not, please tell me what debugging parameters I need to set. This is what happens after browsing, using the original profiles.xml file:

And this is what happens when manually forcing Serviio to use the original WDTV profile:
