PlayOn VFS

[wrems]

I'm playing around with P2 and creating some specific PlayOn look ups. There's too much stuff and I only want access to specific online sources. In the x-vfs.xml I found this snippet:

<view name="YouTubeonPlayOn" label="YouTube on Playon" visible="prop:server:phoenix/upnp/clientEnabled" flat="false">
  <option name="root" value="/UPnP Devices/PlayOn (FAMILY-PC)/YouTube/Recently Featured"/>
  <tag value="online"/>
  <view-source name="UPnPDevices"/>
</view>

This sounds like pretty much what I want to accomplish, but I can't seem to get it to work. I can broaden the lookup and see my devices and drill down manually but I can't seem to go straight to a specific path.

Need some help

Basically you change "PlayOn (FAMILY-PC)" with the name of your UPnP Device as listsed in the UPnP Devices view.

I can't get it to work either.

2013-05-08 13:24:13,851 [AWT-EventQueue-0] INFO  sagex.phoenix.vfs.views.ViewFactory - Creating view for: YouTube; id: phoenix.view.upnp.playon.youtube; Options: null

I checked with some debug logs from the STV and "/UPnP Devices/PlayOn: HOGWARTS/YouTube" is exactly what phoenix_umb_GetPath() is returning while navigating the view.

Yeah, before posting this I tried a ton of variations. It's nice P2 displays the breadcrumbs but the VFS doesn't seem to accept the upnp client name...

It probably would have to be case sensitive as well...

Can you post the view you are using with a broader look that is working? Right now I've got nothing, the view doesn't even seem to respect when I set clientEnabled to True in BMT or via Plugin Menu.

I just used this one:

<view name="phoenix.view.default.upnpdevices" label="UPnP Devices" visible="prop:server:phoenix/upnp/clientEnabled" flat="false">
  <option name="children-only" value="true"/>
  <tag value="online"/>
  <tag value="upnp"/>
  <source name="upnp"/>
</view>

I'm still unable to get the other version working. I need to get back to it.

Ok, yeah that view I can get to show up if I force Visible to "true", but it won't show up if I just rely on the reference to the Phoenix settings. However, even if the view displays it doesn't seem to find my PlayOn upnp server. I feel like somethings bugged in my setup.

Time to check the logs The log info is in SAGE_HOME/logs/phoenix.log. Recently the most common issue that I'm seeing is the people are updating Phoenix, but the JARs are not getting updated correct because of UAC, and as a result "feature" are missing. Given that everything else works, except for this, then maybe it's something else... but hopefully the log will have some information. You can email me the log if you want... metadatatools at gmail dot com
