Announce: Whitebear Media Server v2.2 Released

[Morph666]

Yes xbmc should be able to Play To your Squeezebox (by Whitebear).
You need to check that it is a fairly recent version that has the capability to stream files as PCM. Otherwise it will only be able to play MP3.

Ok, that would be awsome! I have tried to figure out how to do it, but with no luck.. Any idea?

Does anyobne know if it is possible to run WB on a Thecus n5200. And, if so, how? Thanks.

Is it possible to customize the names of the Whitebear server and renderers? I don't like that it adds '(by Whitebear)' to the names.

Ummm. Well, no... (I don't get paid for this, so the reward is my advertising...)

Shame, but that's fair enough I suppose. (Feel guilty for not having donated now, maybe I'll have to rectify that!)

Hi

I wondered if any progress had been made on xbox360 support with Whitebear and if anyone had it working? Most other clients seem to work nicely with Whitebear, but I can't get the xbox to see the server at all from its Music Player. I've been able to see other UPNP servers on the same server from the xbox, but I really like the Whitebear approach as LMS is my main server and my main devices are all SBs.

When the xbox tries to discover the servers, in the logs I see ....

repeated 3 times then nothing. Any ideas?

Unfortunately I don't have an xbox so I cannot test it myself. However perhaps, if you are willing to help me, we can jointly get it to work...

Did you turn on Whitebear's logging for M-SEARCH Responses? If not can you please try this?

Whitebear does not support the Microsoft proprietary "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:service:MSContentDirectory:1" service, but you should see it sending a response to the "urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:ContentDirectory:1" request...

Hi Andrew

Yes, happy to work with you on this. I'll enable that logging later and come back to you - shall we switch this to PM for now?

Andrew,

I posted about an issue I have (metadata/song is sent from MC to LMS but nothing is played) in the JRiver Media Center forum with all details, http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=73748.0, and wonder if you could be so kind to have a look when you have the time. Or do you prefer I post here?

Thanks.
