#14 Basic Samsung TV xxC650 support v2

[RandomCore]

This patch will enable miniDLNA using to support most features of a Samsung LE40C650 LCD TV:

* thumbnails (patch from minidlna forum which produces jpeg thumbnails e.g. movie.avi.jpg)
* subtitle submenu, if external subtitles are found
* chapter selection (exactly 5 or every 16% of the movie)
* chapter thumbnails can be computed during database building (e.g. startup) (NEW)
* Bookmarks (jump to last watched position)

However, there are still some risks involved:

* Switching to any different sort order than "basic" (blue "D"-Button on remote when in Video) will NOT work (TV freezes for about 90secs and stops media player)
* I have not tested against any other renderers. Though I tried to make every change specific to Samsung TVs, I cannot guarantee older Samsungs have Problems now.
* The Samsung media player has difficulties to show .srt subtitles with only LF (instead of CRLF)
* THIS IS STILL BETA (but I already use it)

What's new?
Especially for slower NAS devices we allow to precalculate the MTA files necessary for the chapter menu during startup/DB building. This is triggered by setting the new minidlna.conf option:

#
# Samsung specific switches
#
# samsung_external_mta_files = yes|no
#
# Set to yes on Samsung TV (e.g. LE40C650 and similar) if you are running
# miniDLNA on a slow device. This will precalculate the MTA files needed
# for the Smasung TV chapter menu while building the database instead of
# generating the MTA file on-the-fly if requested. Now, consider this: if
# generating MTA files is too slow for on-the-fly generation, the building
# of the database will considerably slow down by setting this to yes!
# Also note that a precomputed MTA file will always(!) be sent if requested.
# No on-thy-fly generation takes place. So, to change this, remove all MTA
# files as well.
samsung_external_mta_files = yes

Eventuell habt ihr ja hier noch eine Lösung für mich.

Quelltext von minidlna wurde gepatched mit
patch -p1 < Dateinamedespatches.

Bei make kommt am Ende diese Aussage hier:

lbumart.c: In function ‘generate_albumart’:
albumart.c:357: error: ‘video_thumbnailer’ undeclared (first use in this function)
albumart.c:357: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
albumart.c:357: error: for each function it appears in.)

Jemand eine Idee was das Problem sein könnte?

This patch works great, but would it be possible to store the video thumbnails and mta files in the database directory like the music album art does. I find storing them in the video folders intrusive. Also any chance of a updated version against the latest cvs?

Does anyone already have a patch for the latest version (1.0.19)?

I have problems with BD-C5500, after patch. i see only Audio albums even under Video section,

[Anonymous]

Hi, same problem here with BD-C5500
i changed in upnpsoap.c
if (h->req_client == ESamsungTV )
{
if( strcmp(ObjectId, "V_T") == 0 )
ObjectId = strdup(VIDEO_DIR_ID);
}

to
if (h->req_client == ESamsungTV )
{
if( strcmp(ObjectId, "1") == 0 )
ObjectId = strdup(VIDEO_DIR_ID);
}

i got only subtitle menu working then, no idea if BD-C5500 support for bookmarks/chapters i tried to find out , but no luck.

Hi wACKY

Did you manage to fix your HT-C5500 issue?
It worked 100% on my 46C650, but...
I to have a HT-C5500 with the same issues:
1. Menu structure is broken
2. No Chapters
3. No resume

I am new to Linux, so pointing me in the right direction will be appreciated..

Can you confirm if this is included in 1.0.24? My Samsung TV will not show thumbnails, but other renderers do.
