No Bubbleupnp Proxy in WIndows Media Player or WMC - but FooBar2K shows up

Bubbleguum.

Still waiting and hoping that you can somehow find a way to get the Proxy feature working in Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center. Your Proxy capability fixes SOOOO many issues !!!

Just realized that Foobar2K shows up fine as a DLNA server under WMP and WMC. Do you use the sameDLNA library for Bubbleupnp Windows Server and your Foobar2K UPNP Component ?

Can I be of any service in trying to debug this problem. I have lots of network tools !!!!

Anyone else ever get this working ????

Have you tried just naming the proxy something like "DLNA SERVER NAME TEST" instead of "DLNA SERVER NAME [Proxy] - i.e. no square brackets ?? I work with encrypted and non-encrypted Utility data communications protocols - and sometimes ONLY alpha numberic characters are allowed in the naming - so if I used [ or ] the protocol would not like it and I would get an error.

Thanks

P.S.

Did some more testing....

Using a tool called UPNP Tester (64 Bit) I can see all of the UPNP devices on my network (Proxy and NON-Proxy).

The NON-Proxy devices that are visible to WIndows Media Player and WMC all have the tollowing atributes:

ConnectionManager

ContentDirectory

X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar

The devices that are PROXY servers created by BubbleUPNP that are NOT visible (i.e. show up under theOther Libraries) do not have any of these additional attributes.

When I run Foobar2000 on my network it has all 3 of these UPNP attributes also and shows up under WMP/WMC. The Foobar Proxy created by Bubbleupnp Server does not have these attributes and does not show up in WMP/WMC Other Libraries.

Looks to me that the Bubbleupnp Server created UPNP DLNA Servers are missing some UPNP attributes - and WMP/WMC is more pickey than XBMC. Are these attributes that you can enable or pass through from the original DLNA server so that the Proxy has all of these attributes ? If you can let me know and I can test it on my network.

Dug a little deeper with UPNP Inspector. Looks like only one UPNP Service is missing in the proxy:

X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar

Here is a link from someone having the same issue I am having with Bubbleupnp SErver Proxies only with Serviio

http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7008

Dear all, my Serviio media server does not offer the "X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar"-Service for my Upnp/DLNA music streaming device. The streaming device is expecting the authorization information coming along with the "X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar"-service. The effect is currently that the serviio media server does see the streaming device, the streaming device itself does not recognize the serviio media server. IS there a way that I can modify the settings of the serviio media server that it also publishes (maybe also as a dummy) the requested service?

Can you setup Bubbleupnp Proxies to publish the X_MS_MediaRecieverRegistrar service ??? Think that will solve the issue with Bubbleupnp proxies not showing up under

WMP and WMC.

Found more info about X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar Service and another Microsoft Product - XBox.

Apparently XBox also requres X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar Service. I have not tried to see if my sons XBox can see Bubbleupnp proxies (I am on my way to work in the train) Will check later toningt.

What I did find was this at http://code.google.com/p/jems/wiki/XBox360Notes

X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar Service

This service is required to a certain extent. It must be listed, however all requests to the service can be safely denied and the description can be empty or even blank. The XBox will periodically make queries to the non-existent service, but never actually complain about it not working. If the service is not present in the device description, the device will still show up, however upon connection, it will timeout and complain about network connectivity problems, or something equally generic.

Example X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar Service Definition

<service> <serviceType>urn:microsoft.com:service:X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar:1</serviceType> <serviceId>urn:microsoft.com:serviceId:X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar</serviceId> <SCPDURL>URL OMITTED FOR READABILITY</SCPDURL> <controlURL>URL OMITTED FOR READABILITY</eventSubURL></service>

****

All of the proxies created by Bubbleupnp on my network are missing X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar Service Definition and NONE of them show up under WMP/WMC. ALL of the UPNP devices that have X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar Service Definition show up just fine under WMP/WMC. I am confident that if you put in the dummy code above - BubbleUPNP proxies will show up under WMP/WMC.

I will check XBOX tonight when I get home.
