Plain text list of DLNA Titles and URI's?

Postby Coo » 17 Oct 2021 12:25

Hi

I'd like to back up all the files from an old dvr hdd recorder.

All the files can be listed by connecting VLC to the DVR using DLNA.

In the UI I can see the titles and URI's of the DVR's files.

I'd like to get a text version of this listing, including the title and uri, so that I can script a batch job to slowly download the files from the old DVR.

I've tried a few DLNA clients but only a couple have successfully listed the DVR's titles (MediaMonkey and VLC).

I've tried downloading the files using these tools, but the download often fails.

I've found plain http (wget) does however work well - which is why I'm thinking of scripting a batch job.

I'm running VLC on windows but also have a Raspberry Pi - I've tried djmount but that doesn't see the DVR host.

Please let me know if there is a way of getting a plain text listing of DLNA Titles and URI's

Or, if there's an easier way to download the files, then please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks very much

Coo
