[SOLVED] Add UPnP Music Source

[TheOldPresbyope]

Interesting. i assumed that all UPnP media servers generated the Music/Album folder.

@hjheins suggested using the "Browse Folders" folder.

Whats in the "[folder view]" directory?

Code:

ls -l "/mnt/UPNP/MinimServer[krypton][folder view]"

I'm thinking that if "Browse Folders" is a DLNA standard and MinimServer uses "[folder view]" I can just code the standard and check for the exception :-)

That might do it.

With two albums copied into the ~/Music directory and the MinimServer restarted, I get 

Code:

pi@moode:/media/MUSIC/CLASSICAL $ ls -l "/mnt/UPNP/MinimServer[krypton]/[folder view]"
total 2
dr-xr-xr-x 6 root root 512 Jan  1  2000 'Brahms, Johannes-Piano Concerto No 1 & Two Songs for Alto...'
dr-xr-xr-x 6 root root 512 Jan  1  2000 'Johannes Brahms-Ein Deutsches Requiem, Op. 45'
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Jan  1  2000  _search

The _search directory contains only some info about search capabilities.

There's a ton of information on the MinimServer website about how it scans files and about browsing the library. I don't have time right now [1] to read and digest it.

[1] I went off the air hours ago when the CO detection system in our townhouse started shouting at us. Spent an hour standing out front, first waiting for the fire department to arrive, and then chatting with them while they searched for sources and ventilated the house. Apparently the detectors were set off by fumes from the gasoline-powered pressure washer being used by a contractor outside the house. Interesting way to find out the detectors work and that the 911 operator knows what to do.

After the FD left (classic articulated ladder truck; could barely get it turned around and back out of the development) we discovered that their industrial-strength ventilation fan had taken out a circuit breaker which in turn borked the system running MinimServer. Sigh. At least it gave me the excuse to install the latest version of the underlying O/S. Still getting everything back to where I was. 

[2] Notice the different naming schemes for the two Johannes Brahms works? That's a trivial illustration of the problems I have letting abcde automatically rip, name, and tag tracks from classical works. The ripping goes fine but getting consistent naming and tagging depends on the upstream music servers like CDDB and MusicBrainz maintaining some consistency across their holdings.
