Need Help Debugging UPNP connectivity

[ReD-BaRoN]

Hey folks,

I'm using XBMC as a UPNP client.

I have UPNP enabled in XBMC.

Using wireshark, I see XBMC send IGMP joins to 239.255.255.250, so I'm presuming that UPNP is properly enabled on XBMC.

I'm using MediaTomb as the UPNP A/V Server on a Linux system. I do see UPNP SSDP NOTIFYs coming from this box to 239.255.255.250, but the XBMC doesn't seem to do anything with them.

I've looked at the xmbc log and it doesn't show that is sees the traffic coming from the MediaTomb box.

What can I do to debug this more?

Thanks,
Brian

You need to enable UPnP client not server. Then go to browse/Upnp devices.
NOTIFY wont' be received by the xbox because it can't receive multicast traffic. It however sends multicast searches that Mediatomb should respond too.

Make sure the 2 devices are on the same subnetwork.

Thank you for your relpy, however I'm not sure I was clear enough in the first post.

I'm trying to use the XBMC as a upnp client and Mediatomb as a server. In that case am I still supposed to setup XBMC as a Upnp server?

Also, XBMC is running on my WinXP box, not an Xbox, so mcast shouldn't be an issue.

XBMC (upnp client) and MediaTomb (upnp server) are in fact on the same subnet.

Thanks,
Brian

No you don't need to setup the xbmc server.
It's possible a firewall issue on your linux server. Can you use Cidero or the Intel UPnP Tools on your XP machine to see if it detects the Mediatomb server. If it does, then we have a pb with XBMC, if not then it's your system...
