failed to start on arch (manjaro kde) about pulseaudio-dlna

@bachy Hello

Try the following:

• Go to the project root cd pulseaudio/.
• Ensure that you are in the correct folder. If there is a README.md that is the correct folder.
• Run python pulseaudio_dlna/

If that does not work. You can install it to your system.

• Go to the project root cd pulseaudio/.
• Ensure that you are in the correct folder. If there is a README.md that is the correct folder.
• Run make dev. You will be asked for root rights. (You can undo this via make uninstall-dev)
• Goto some folder, it is just important that you leave the project root folder. So e.g.: the home folder. cd ~.
• Run pulseaudio-dlna

[masmu]

@bachy What is your python version? As it seems your Python version is 3.4. This application needs python2.7. So check if there is a python2.7 binary on your system.

Then run: python2.7 pulseaudio_dlna/ from the project root.

[bachy]

@masmu thanks for your answer

you were right about python version, unfortunatly a ran the exacte same error with python2

$ python2 -V
Python 2.7.9

i can now launch pulseaudio-dlna

$ pulseaudio-dlna
Using localhost: 192.168.0.115:8080
INFO:root:Discovery complete. You can now use your upnp devices!
There were no upnp devices found. Application terminates.

as you can see it found no devices, but i have 3 upnp/dlna devices on my local network (one openelec, one MusicBox, one other) each found and working with BuppleUpnp on android.

[bachy]

runing pulseaudio-dlna as root works better but still have errors

It can't communicate with pulseaudio as root. So, try to rerun it a few times without root.

An output where the devices were found with the --debug flag would be nice. Even with root, this output could be useful.

What are the IPs of your devices? And can you paste an output of ifconfig?

[bachy]

ok i works
i just played a track with banshee and relaunched pulseaudio-dlna, et voila !

does it means that we always have to first launch a play before pusleaudio-dlna ?

[masmu]

Whats about your network setup? All cable? One wifi? Wifi extenders?

[masmu]

No. The devices will be added after the startup of pulseaudio-dlna. Makes no difference if you had started bashee before or after that. You just have the switch to the output device.

Are your other devices being recognized now?

[bachy]

network setup

• laptop ethernet (the source/controler) 192.168.0.115
• rpi openelec ethernet (invisible) 192.168.0.111
• rpi MusicBox wifi (working now) 192.168.0.117
• the other dlna ethernet (freebox) (invisible)

[masmu]

IPs of the devices and an output of ifconfig please 😄

[bachy]

here is the output with the --debug flag

i updated the devices list with ips

[masmu]

I added a bit more debug code in the application.

Could you do a git pull in the project root folder to recieve those changes?
Then please paste another --debug output.

I have added the following string: Recieved the following SSDP header:
So, you did everything right, when this is in the new output.

[bachy]

here it is : http://pastebin.com/tvmReaHn
by the way, thank you very much for helping me like this :)

[bachy]

hey sorry, i just checked my kodi and i had forgotten to check the "authorize control by upnp" parameter. I can now stream to it too :)

for the third device, forget it, it's a proprietary one, i don't need it.

thanks again @masmu !!

[masmu]

Your welcome. I like it when my stuff is acutally used and makes people happy 😄

Glad we got that one too. The freebox thing is still missing, right? Is there a exact product name for that? I want to take a deeper look at that... freebox is a bit too general. Is it a TV?

[bachy]

here is the third devices, i hope i didn't make an error thinking it's compatible with upnp/dlna
http://www.free.fr/adsl/freebox-revolution.html
[edit] i rechecked and the freebox revolution is upnp/dlna compatible [/edit]

and suddenly launching with ```python2 pulseausio_dlna --port 8888" is also working, isn't it great :)
here is the debug ouput : http://pastebin.com/VcV895MZ

[masmu]

@bachy Ok, since you edited your post i missed that. Was first visible after a refresh.

The link says nothing about DLNA, but there is a news which announces DLNA capabilities after version 1.2.11, if i am understanding french correctly 😄

So, try a firmware upgrade (if you need it) and perhaps it works right after that too.

The detection of DLNA devices works with UDP broadcasting. This is a bit unreliable by nature and gets more unreliable the more complicate your network is. Thats why i asked for your network setup. So, if there is a device which should be detected, but it is not, just try it again. But most times it gets all devices the first try.

Is there a detailed name for the MusicBox thing? I want to add it to my list of working devices.

[bachy]

here is the musicbox : http://www.woutervanwijk.nl/pimusicbox/
i am running the 0.5.3 version on an RPi 1 B+ through wifi connection

[masmu]

Oh, this a cool project. I will take a deeper look at this.

Btw, BubbleUPNP is also recognized. But the display of your phone has to stay on, while pulseaudio-dlna is searching for it (So, just the first 5 seconds after application startup).

Did you take a look at the firmware version of the freebox?

Which software do you use to switch the streams with KDE?
pavucontrol or the default KDE audio manager?
