MPTinoMediaServer v0.5 Download

Description:

This is a UPnP server process plugin for MP.
UPnP is a protocol that allows for clients to request streams of media to be played on the client. I prefer this with hardware clients that allow playing of the media collection on your MP anywhere in your house using WIFI.

Based on the OpenLounge UPnP server, mpTino started updating and expanding the plugin for latest MP versions, and I joined in to get a release out.

Its suggested to be used on a 24/7 running MP hometheatre that you also want to use as UPnP server for hardware clients.

This version has the following features:
- Custom server name
- Optional building of toplevel all items folders (a full list of all your mp3 files for example)
- Optional including of shares configured in MP for each media type. So if you specified in your Music plugin what folders to use, this plugin can adopt those settings
- Optional adding shares yourself, specify optionally what media type it should allow.
- Optional conversion of M3U playlist files to full folders, this allows a client that does not support M3U files to use them like they were normal folders.
- Supplied content filtering, when adding shares you can specify what content it should host, this way it will only host music files in a music share and skipping folder.jpg images for example, this is optionally. Shares added from the MP plugins auto filter depending on their plugin source, so shares added from the Music plugin will filter to music content only.
- Optional display name formatting, it uses the full ID3v1 info to format the name, you can customize this formatting, independen for normal files and items in the playlists. This can increase MP load time.

Known issues:
- Loading of MP with this plugin can take a long time depending on your amount of files (items from M3U files count as well when conversion option is enabled), disable the ID3 parsing if it is to long for you.
- While server is running updates to the folders isnt all that yet, no filtering of the content if a share is filtered to for example Music only. Sometimes folders/files that are deleted are not released till MP shutsdown. Adding items will mostly not parse ID3 or image info since virus scanners lock the files while the server is trying to parse them

Things I still want to add:
- Auto generating of playlist, I want to have in each folder a playlist item that lets me play all songs from this point on.
