I have already implemented most of what is needed to turn MythBackend into a uPNP Server. Here is what I have left to do: 1) Finish implementation of the CDS (Content Directory Service) for the various media in MythTv. I am trying to design it so that any content (Recorded programs, Movies, Music, Photos, DVD, ...) can be added by implementing a few interfaces and registering it with the upnp service classes that I have created. (I am focusing on Recorded Programs as the first implementation). 2)Implement the Notification Subscription services (events). This should not take long, all pieces have been completed, just need to assemble them. 3)Move all independent code into a library (currently developing everything in the MythBackend project for simplicity). 4)Merge all the changes with SVN. I am working with an old version of SVN (pre-live tv changes). One thing that I am including in my implementation is a DVR service. There is no upnp DVR definition that I could find, so I am basing the functionality on current requirements to implement a frontend. The ALL methods for ALL services exposed will be SOAP/uPNP compliant as well as REST compliant (a simple query string based http request will perform the action). I was planning to have the completed implementation done 2 months ago... Unfortunately, real life has gotten in the way. I am starting a new project at work and should start to have time in the next month or so to finish my changes (I figured the delay would allow all the LiveTV changes to become rock solid). Let me know if you have any specific questions, David B. _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list mythtv-dev@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
