Francesco Furfari commented on FELIX-2730:
------------------------------------------
Hi Patrick,
you're right it is a useful feature request, but we should think to a more
general mechanism to deal with non-standard vendor extensions.
This is not defined by the current OSGi UPnP specification.
We will work on it and include ASAP.

> UPnP exposed to/used by DLNA devices
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: FELIX-2730
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2730
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: UPnP Subproject
> Environment: All platforms using the Felix UPnP bundle
> Reporter: Patrik Sagelius
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: site.patch

> One of the larger areas of usage with UPnP is to expose a DMS. There are also
> many consumers of DMS devices, e.g. TVs. Many of the new TVs coming to the
> market are branded "DLNA compatible". This means they will require DMS
> devices to have the XML tag shown below in the device description:
> <dlna:X_DLNADOC
> xmlns:dlna="urn:schemas-dlna-org:device-1-0">DMS-1.00</dlna:X_DLNADOC>
> This is described in paragraph 7.2.10 in the document named "DLNA Networked
> Device Interoperability Guidelines". This is just one of many DLNA specific
> tags. However, it seems that a great number of DMR devices (consumers of DMS
> devices, e.g. TVs) expects this tag and only shows the DMS as a valid DMS if
> it is included.
> I know this has nothing to do with UPnP since it is a DLNA specific tag, but
> it increases the usability of the UPnP stack and the number of usecases
> supported a great deal! Moreover, there is no way to set this XML tag in the
> device description using the OSGi UPnP API as it is currently specified.
> What is needed is that the developer needs some way of controlling the
> content of the device description to include this tag.
> So when creating the device the programmer supplies properties to control
> various things, such as name and description. It would be good to supply a
> property called "X_DLNADOC" with the value of the tag, e.g. DMS-1.00. So the
> code to create a DLNA supported device would look like:
> public class DmsDevice implements UPnPDevice {
> private Dictionary dictionary = new Hashtable();
> public DmsDevice() {
> dictionary.put(UPnPDevice.FRIENDLY_NAME, "My Name");
> dictionary.put("X_DLNADOC", "DMS-1.00");
> ....
> }
> public Dictionary getDescriptions(String locale) {
> return this.dictionary;
> }
> ....
> }
> This should result in an XML like:
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
> <root xmlns="urn:schemas-upnp-org:device-1-0">
> <specVersion>
> <major>1</major>
> <minor>0</minor>
> </specVersion>
> <URLBase>http://<myip>:<myport></URLBase>
> <device>
> <deviceType>urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:MediaServer:1</deviceType>
> <dlna:X_DLNADOC
> xmlns:dlna="urn:schemas-dlna-org:device-1-0">DMS-1.00</dlna:X_DLNADOC>
> <friendlyName>My Name</friendlyName>
> ........
> </root>
