DLNA/uPnP in Lion?

Postby hutchism » 28 Aug 2011 15:51

Has anyone got upnp working in lion? I'm not actually sure it worked in snow leopard as my other mac has not been unboxed since moving. Just got a macbook air and wish to connect to my friends XBMC server. Yes, I know I can use XBMC (this works), but I want to have a windowed player (VLC) so I can watch tv episodes and surf at the same time on the same screen.

I can find the option find the option in the playlist preferences for upnp services discovery module and it loads 'upnp_intel'.

After doing this nothing happens in the playlist. Inside the playlist I right click and select 'services discovery' - 'universal plug and play'. A list is created, but not populated. Restarting VLC the list turns to a '?'. Also VLC does not close properly when this is enabled so i'm guessing somethings happening somewhere, but no cigar.

Without been able to try on my snow leopard machine I can't test whether this is a lion issue, or snow leopard.

Could you not meddle everything and start by actually reasoning instead of saying undocumented FUD?

- Upnp issue is multi-platform and is not fixed because noone seems to care enough...
- OSX builds are broken because of a very specific bug that isn't fixed...
- OSX builds are not a due, but a nice thing. If you don't like it, please join the team...
- People are volunteers... How difficult is that to understand?
