Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Both UPnP-Inspector and its dependency Coherence seems unmaintained
since ~2009 and are not trivial to get running today.

for how to setup Rygel to make Mopidy an UPnP MediaRenderer.


The UPnP-Inspector client
=========================

`UPnP-Inspector <http://coherence.beebits.net/wiki/UPnP-Inspector>`_ is a
graphical analyzer and debugging tool for UPnP services. It will detect any
UPnP devices on your network, and show these in a tree structure. This is not a
tool for your everyday music listening while relaxing on the couch, but it may
be of use for testing that your setup works correctly.

1. Install UPnP-Inspector. On Debian/Ubuntu::

sudo apt-get install upnp-inspector

2. Run it::

upnp-inspector

3. Assuming that Mopidy is running with a working MPRIS frontend, and that
Rygel is running on the same machine, Mopidy should now appear in
UPnP-Inspector's device list.

4. If you expand the tree item saying ``Mopidy
(MediaRenderer:2)`` or similiar, and then the sub element named
``AVTransport:2`` or similar, you'll find a list of commands you can invoke.
E.g. if you double-click the ``Pause`` command, you'll get a new window
where you can press an ``Invoke`` button, and then Mopidy should be paused.

Note that if you have a firewall on the host running Mopidy and Rygel, and you
want this to be exposed to the rest of your local network, you need to open up
your firewall for UPnP traffic. UPnP use UDP port 1900 as well as some
dynamically assigned ports. I've only verified that this procedure works across
the network by temporarily disabling the firewall on the the two hosts
involved, so I'll leave any firewall configuration as an exercise to the
reader.
