I am currently working on some kind of DNLA Media Server and want to make it possible to view Thumbnails and/or Artworks for movies etc. instead of default icons while browsing the available files. Now my question is what kind of XML Tags do i need to include in <item>
to make it possible?
This is what I got so far:
<item id="0$2$5$3" parentID="0$2$5" restricted="true">
<dc:title>TestFile</dc:title>
<res xmlns:dlna="urn:schemas-dlna-org:metadata-1-0/" protocolInfo="http-get:*:video/avi:DLNA.ORG_OP=01" size="341663506" duration="00:23:44.00" resolution="1024x576" bitrate="245504" nrAudioChannels="2" sampleFrequency="48000">http://192.168.1.110:5001/get/0$2$5$3</res>
<res protocolInfo="http-get:*:image/jpg:DLNA.ORG_PN=JPEG_TN;DLNA.ORG_FLAGS=00f00000000000000000000000000000">http://192.168.1.110:5001/get/0$2$5$3/thumbnail</res>
<upnp:albumArtURI xmlns:dlna="urn:schemas-dlna-org:metadata-1-0/" dlna:profileID="JPEG_TN">http://192.168.1.110:5001/get/0$2$5$3/thumbnail</upnp:albumArtURI>
<dc:date>2013-05-30T11:04:37</dc:date>
<upnp:class>object.item.videoItem</upnp:class>
</item>
As you can see I already use a second <res>
and the <upnp:albumArtURI>
Tags. On some devices this seems to work and the thumbnails are displayed. But on other devices it doesn't. Is this because of these devices not supporting thumbnails or is there something I forgot?
<upnp:albumArtURI>
and<res protocolInfo..>
is all as far as I know.There may be a chance that some device only accept
png
, and you may try to addpng
in<res protocolInfo>
.
