AVRemote 0.4.1

[rRGWs6eR]

I haven't used avremote, so I can't help you directly but you could do a packet capture between your phone and TV (assuming you have the ability) to see what DLNA messages get exchanged (they will be XML).

Regarding subtitles, I know that there are some proprietary extensions (for samsung) that encode the subtitle path in a property in the xml, but I'm not sure it is supported by most tools. If the subtitle is embedded into the file (e.g. mkv), then it's all good.

Thanks ady.

I should learn how capturing packets. Wish me luck.

Hey, I've got little success using gupnp-av-cp and wireshark. I saw
'SetAVTransportURI' and 'Play' request from captured packets.

Copied and sent to TV using `nc` then TV start playing! How can I do
this with avremote?

Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks.

Well, I'm not sure how you can use them with avremote (you'd have to look through its code (is it available?) to see what it does), but if you have it working with nc, you could script your own solution... Something like this:
1. Expose your media content through http on the wdtv (e.g. add a link under /tmp/www-plugins to your media xmount) and test a wget on that url (you will also need to disable HTTP authentication in apache (there is a patch that does just that commited last week to svn)).
2. Hack together a basic script with sed cat and nc to modify the XMLs you captured and replace the media items with the items you pass as parameters.
3. Profit

Okay! Still not sure if you are a spambot
