[mythtv-users] upnp server not working?

Sun Dec 26 11:24:47 UTC 2010

Hi,

I encounter problems while trying to connect a upnp client.
The problem is: I cannot see any recordings in the client.

I suspected, that I need to define a setting, because 

mythbackend --upnprebuild 

said it would skip the scan because VideoStartupDir was not defined.

So I asked on #mythtv-users and found out, that I need to install
mythvideo in order to have that setting at "Utilities/Setup -> Setup -> Media Settings -> Video Settings -> General Settings -> Directories".

If I specify now the directory /var/lib/mythtv where my recordings are I
can see the file names of the recordings like 29481_20071024230018.mpg
in the client.  Others on #mythtv-users said they can see show titles
and channel names and have the data in a more friendly format. My
problem now: What do I need to change?

Some data:

I am currently using the prebuild packages from
http://debian-multimedia.org. Mythtv is version 0.24

The upnp client is a TechniSat TechniStar S1. I tried a linux upnp
client "enna" version 0.4.1~r3557-1 too and could not see my recordings
either.

The log files shows the following lines for the TechniSat:

I captured with tcpdump a packet dump file, but cannot not interpret the

Could you please give some hints where/how to continue?
