v14 about universalmediaserver HOT 9 OPEN

Deny and allow renderers
Renderer can be described by an IP address, but also an upnp uuid.

IP address can change (DHCP or manual change).
UUID can be changed as well when you reset the device (dynamically created).

So it's an hard goal.

Show and hide folders based on renderers
Maybe to allow this, we can use the users/groups.
Default shared conf -> all
Added custom shared -> user only

Then, link user to a device by UUID.

Did we need to keep the old browser files ??

Also, if you ban an IP for a renderer, it will not be able to reach the server, so you will not fill the allowed renderer field.
I will back with a better solution.

I will be able to look at this only in a week.

@SubJunk
After looking at Show and hide folders based on renderers
I tried some way to do this, and I end with :

Easy part :
Set the rigth on shared:
Add a member AuthorizedGroups to SharedContent that keep a List<Integer> (group ids).
If empty, all groups are allowed.

Set the account on renderer :
Add a new key UserId on RendererConfiguration that keep the user id (integer).

Add a member Account to Renderer that keep the account linked to the renderer device, filled by the RendererConfiguration or logged account for WebRenderer.
If empty, set to a fake account (0) that allow only SharedContent with empty authorized groups.

Hard part :
UMS was coded in the way that all renderers share everything (shares, global repo ids, status, etc).

For the DLNAResource part :

DLNAResource is a lot messy.
DLNAMediaInfo as well (should have nothing to do with DLNA nor renderer or account)
Should not reside under DLNA things.
Should not have user related things (Status of playcount, etc) -> MediaStatus.
It should not be video related but container related, then it can contain MediaVideo, MediaAudio, MediaChapter, MediaImage, and so on.
Refactor DLNAMediaInfo -> MediaInfo
Is used by all renderer, so updating it should be replicated to every renderer.
So, should use a static Object Array that keep MediaInfo for all the DLNAResource.

Added class MediaStatus that keep the status ->
Is used by multiple renderer sharing the same user, so updating it should be replicated to same user renderers.
So, should use a static Object Array that keep MediaStatus for all the DLNAResource by user id.
This will allow to track status based on user.

DLNAResource is renderer aware, so it should be created for each renderer under its own RootFolder.

But first I need to clean some things.

Cool idea about the user groups. I like it

from universalmediaserver.

I think the old browser files can be removed if you agree

I look forward to seeing your better solution

Goal 1 is done thanks to @SurfaceS
Do you want to work on number 2 as well? Otherwise I can try

from universalmediaserver.

@SurfaceS ok, I will focus on continuing my HDR and transcoding/muxing fixes so you can do that

from universalmediaserver.

Cool, those all seem like good changes and will make the code more readable. Nice work
