<p>The metadata is in the database and is accessible via mysql

myth's upnp server you won't need to insert the metadata in the

Thank you for the reply Nick. I've never had much success with
MythTV's upnp implementation (been a mythtv user for over 6 years).
I've found that some folders like "By Date" cause clients to just
hang. Using 'All recordings' I do see a date ordered list, but
selecting a HD BBC recoding often results in a Error in the client
player (iMediaShare/Dice Player on Android for example). Basically
I have a poor user experience, kind of given up using it.<br>
<br>
This is why I use twonky, I have a master and slave/frontend setup.
The master also runs twonky which serves a directory containing
recordings from the slave. I sync the slave recording folder, as
this allows the master to serve content to other devices (laptops,
android tablets, phones, other ubuntu computers) with out having to
have the slave (with all the tuner h/w) & recordings powered on
and running. The 'low powered' master has recordings symbolically
linked from a directory so that twonky can serve up content with a
'nice' name for each recording such as '20121224180800 Carols from
King's.mpg'. <br>
<br>
What I am trying to do is use a oppo 103 as the main living room
client, and remove the need to using the slave/frontend for watching
play back. The oppo can work with either CIFS or upnp. But given
my difficulties with mythtv's upnp, I use twonky. The only problem
I have with twonky serving recordings is that there's no meta data
in the recording mpg hence my original question. Might be on a
hiding to nothing, but I am interested in the oppo as it has
excellent playback capabilities and is very low powered. It can
also be used as a media renderer so - like mythfrontend - you can
'throw' content at it from Android. But it also allows you to throw
and render 'images' which is something that mythfrontend cannot
currently do. <br>
<br>
MythTV is a fantastic project.<br>
