Cannot find the renderer due to invalid value of GetDeviceCapabilities and GetTransportSettings about gmrender-resurrect HOT 6 OPEN

Hi, I can't find the render with my samsung stock player. I looked into the file upnp_transport.c and found that:

static int get_device_caps(struct action_event *event)
{
if (obtain_instanceid(event, NULL) < 0) {
return -1;
}
// TODO: implement ?
return 0;
}

static int get_transport_settings(struct action_event *event)
{
if (obtain_instanceid(event, NULL) < 0) {
return -1;
}
// TODO: what variables to add ?
return 0;
}

so, returning an empty value should solve the issue ?

@caxton , what was the control point you were using, that required the device capabilities ? This way I can have something to play with.

Usually, these calls are never used in all the control points I have seen, so this is why they are not implemented.

@hzeller I use "AwoX mediaCTRL" on android device, and that was what they feedback to me renderer should return valid GetDeviceCapabilities and GetTransportSettings based on DLNA spec.

Yes, I confirm this is a issue too.
For a video APP: PPTV, after add following, it could play video, otherwise, device could be found, but it will not set uri to DMR.

static int get_device_caps(struct action_event *event)
......
// TODO: implement ?

•   upnp_append_variable(event, TRANSPORT_VAR_PLAY_MEDIA, "PlayMedia");
  

•   upnp_append_variable(event, TRANSPORT_VAR_REC_MEDIUM, "RecMedia");
  

•   upnp_append_variable(event, TRANSPORT_VAR_POS_REC_QUAL_MODE, "RecQualityModes");
  

BTW, I do not add code to GetTransportSettings.

I added these lines but the render is still not listed on the galaxy note 3 player :(

Maybe different APP has different checking of services.
Above lines work for APP PPTV, but it does not work for another APP: sohu.
Maybe gmediarender needs to run DLNA CTT test (DMR) to check what's still missing.
