upnpplayer for sailfish os

Note: stable release are on official jolla store, here are pre-release/and stable that may require some tweak to be delivered on jolla store.

This application implement a basic dlna/upnp remote controler. With this application you can stream your favorite webradio url to your dlna/upnp media renderer (stereo)

Implemented feature:

• device detection through ssdp,
• save device info (limit needs of device detection, when restarting application)
• url create, modify, delete, select, ...
• play, pause, stop, mute, unmute, volume control
• browse minidlna and mediatomb server, possibilty to queue media to play

At home I've a sony cmt-sbt 300w so this should work at least with this device. please indicate if it works with your device and do not hesitate to give feed back (good or bad, I'll try to take them into account).

I'm still working on this application, so update will probably comes soon.

last change :

Release 0.2r2 (beta): tweaked UI and correct some bugs

• Use tap for browsing down to directory (instead of swipe right)
• Add more infos about devices
• Add more infos on directories when availlable.
• Swipe-right allow to change media server (swipe left too but only on root directory)
• display volume info when pressing volume up or volume down button
• add filter "*" in browse request to workaround minidlna 1.1.2 crash when filter is empty, (was working well on raspbian pi with minidlna 1.0.24)
• remove check of childcount for browsing (plex and freebox do not indicate them in storage folders)
• make package compatible with harbour rules

Release 0.2r1 (beta): Refactored UI and lot's of internals.

here is a list of change (not exhaustive)

• - refactored almost everythings.
• - made UI more in sailfish phylosophy (most of feature are on main screen).
• - use swipe when possible (browse, next/prev, select renderer/server)
• - refactorer internal cpp too to be more qt like.
• - Provide metadata to renderer. (aka more devices should be supported)
• - get volume of device when creating associated renderer
• - use volume button to set volume of device.
• - volume increment/decrement is 5% except when going to high volume for increment only. - reduce volume increment to 2% when volume is higher than 50
• - reduce volume increment to 1% when volume is higher than 75
• - use cache for playable item when browsing (so not parse same media twice)
• - limit some object copy between server and renderer
• - shuffle/loop mode.

1. NOTE: mute/unmute not present on this version (not sure to add it back as volume buttons are doing same job)
2. NOTE2: Adding stream like web radio is not present on this release for the moment but I'm going to add it on a next version when this part will be refactored too.

0.2r0 - change release number to 0.2 to follow harbour compliance rule about version, some minor ui tweak too.

0.1r12 - put dbus call to c++ part in order to be harbour compliant

0.1r11 - some UI tweaks, some work on music transitions to simplify code remove cpu keepalive to keep only blanking pause (just prevent screen from sleeping seems enough to keep jolla alive and timer working)

0.1r10 - check played media on device before submiting next, prevent jolla from sleeping when playing. (known problem: can stop playing after some times, around 10 songs for me), next release will be candidate to official jolla store.

0.1r9 - better timer managment, they are still active when device is going to sleep - next and previous still need some tweak - actual timer solution may be battery consumer as tick is still counted when device is sleeping, next work will be to adapt to device state...

0.1r8 (beta, need to fix few thing on next/previous button) - add some nice icon on media server side - add a context menu on playable media (icon that is not a folder icon) - (beta) possibility to select more than one media to play, using setNextAVTransportURI and timers (may be inacurrate if media duration information is not accurate or if renderer make some transition effect that change media duration). - indicate remaining media duratio when playing - indicate position of media in queue when selected.

0.1r7 - made some UI change due to asynchronous device detection (introduced on 0.1r6) - able to browse mediatomb dlna server correctly - add possibility to go back to last selected mediaserver directory - add media duration information (when known).

0.1r6 correct freeze when application is minimized during device detection, fixed some crash case.

0.1r5 correct a bug seen in 0.1r4 after delivery (server list not correctly cleaned)

0.1r4 (major, beta) Can now browse upnp media server, (note this is still under finalisation), this is an early release as I'm still working on stabilzing this code, but seems to be stable enough to work with minidlna

0.1r3 (minor) Change setting location to be compliant with jolla harbour, setting are moved from .config/frederic.frances/harbour-upnpplayer.conf to .local/share/harbour-upnpplayer/harbour-upnpplayer.conf, so if you move configuration file to correct location this should work as before.
