DLNA/UPNP Not listing all files #426

Open gigabyte-1000 opened 3 years ago

gigabyte-1000 commented 3 years ago

I use the "Mezzmo Media server" and Nova video player is not listing all the files it seems to cut off or stop listing after about 50 items, I checked logcat but didn't notice any obvious errors

I also have another problem setting nova player as the default player on Android TV it says Open 192.168.1.44 links with Nova Video Playyer Just Once Set to always open

If I set to always open it closes and then just re-prompts, this is also a problem with MX Player, but using NPlayer I can set to always open fine, so I hope you can fix that.

Try another DLNA server before blaming Nova. I always see all my files with Nova.

The server is fine and I have no reason to change it, I can see all the files using BubbleUPNP , VLC, Mezzmo (android app), Kodi, nPlayer, DLNA Channels (small app for Android TV to list content on homescreen).

So since most other players can show all content fine I am sure there is some kind of bug in Nova Player, I didn't see anything in logcat but I will check again and see if I notice any errors.

nova is using cling java opensource library for UPnP support. It has known limitations and some compatibility issues with some UPnP servers. For now there is no plan (manpower) dedicated to migrating to another solution. For network shares, SMB is the preferred way (no srt file guessing with UPnP not supported by standard etc.).

Can you give us an example of this? With screenshots maybe?

If there's a better UPNP solution, you should consider creating an issue with the label "help needed" that will call upon the community to migrate us to a better solution. Also, ask the reddit community for help in anything you don't have the time to complete.
