First, the problem:<br>Some recorded shows don't start to play on my WD TV Live via Upnp, although they are listed correctly. The WD device doesn't even request the recording, the DMARender on the WD TV just prints this debug message: "UpnpDispatch_MediaRenderer_AVTransport_SetAVTransportURI:2587: CurrentURIMetaDate element had too large value"<br>
<br>The weird thing is, that recordings from tv-station's like ARD,ZDF,ARTE etc are playing fine (public service TV), the private channels like RTL,Pro7 etc. didn't work. The former usually have a subtitle in their EPG data, the latter don't. When MythTV builds the mediamap for the recordings tree, it sets the title to "Title: Subtile" OR "Title: Description" if no subtitle is available. The leads to the long Metadata element that the WD complains about.<br>
<br>My quick and dirty solution (I don't really know how to use diff :) ):<br>In file: mythtv-0.23.1/programs/mythbackend/upnpcdstv.cpp replace:<br>line 276: <br>
QString sName = sTitle + ": " + (sSubtitle.isEmpty() ? sDescription : sSubtitle); <br>with this: <br>
QString sName = sTitle + ": " + (sSubtitle.isEmpty() ? "" : sSubtitle);<br><br>Quick and dirty because if there's no description you can't distinguish two recordings with the same title. It would be better to truncate the description to a certain length...<br>
<br>I don't know if this is a MythTV bug. Don't know if there's a limit for element length in the Upnp specification. It might also be the device's fault, but it's probably easier to make MythTv compatible.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Please create a ticket on trac so I can look into this post-0.24 release. The -users mailing list really isn't the right place for an apparent bug report :)</div><div><br></div><div>
Also, please include the UPnP's client agent string (you can find it by running the backend with -v upnp). The whole agent string, please. It's likely I may need to put in a specific exception. </div><div><br></div>
<div>Also, please include the length of the description of the offending show(s), etc for debugging.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div></div>
