#682404 is fix-commited but despite the mir approval, hupnp has not been promoted from universe to main. this is required for solid to be built with upnp support.
the attached patch enables deb packages to be built with support for upnp in solid. i am recompiling these packages on my local machine and upnp support is working fine in dolphin's side pane and the device notifier in the system try. i would put these packages in my ppa but it means bumping the version # of kdelibs and thus i would also have to recompile all packages that directly require kde4libs (of which there are quite a few) you can repackage with solid support for yourself by: cd /tmp apt-get source kde4libs cd kde4libs-4.11.0 download upnp-enabled.diff to the kde4libs-4.11.0 directory patch -p1 < upnp-enabled.diff dpkg-buildpackage cd ../ sudo dpkg -i *.deb once solid has upnp support you need to install the upnp kioslave i have packaged this in my ppa https://launchpad.net/~carlos-demaine/+archive/ppa/+packages this kioslave needs to get into kubuntu proper!! overall upnp support works well for me through dolphin. i can browse and play media from iptv pvr, Sony xperia z, meidiatomb, minidlna etcetera. amarok is still buggy but i haven't tried to debug what is going wrong there yet. i hope we can finally get this increasingly important technology supported in kubuntu. ** Patch added: "upnp-enabled.diff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hupnp/+bug/975327/+attachment/3776225/+files/upnp-enabled.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/975327 Title: libhupnp 1.0.0, cagibi >=0.2, kio-upnp-ms, all needed in repositories To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/amarok/+bug/975327/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
