[UPnP-SDK-discuss] Is it possible to operate a communication between a DLNA client and the UPNP AV server ?

[patrick.marduel <pat...@la...>]

Hi,

My DSL box ( SFR neufbox4, FRANCE ) is made with a Linux core. ( see http://www.efixo.com/neufbox4 )
it provides an UPNP server made by LIBUPNP-1.4.1 from //upnp/sourceforge.net .
I use already that server with my internet radio ( Philips NP1100 ).
That server exposes songs, pictures and videos ( files stored in an usb disk plugged on the box )
I manage to play them on my radio. Until today I was in the best of the worlds

I bought some months ago a new TV ( Samsung UE32D5000 ) which has the DLNA client feature.
I tried to operate the communication between my UPNP server and my tv.

If the tv is able to see the contents exposed by the UPNP server, the files exposed are not seen as media files. When I try to play them, the answer is "unknown type". I cannot display the images, listen the music....

is there a specific setting on the TV (DLNA client) or on the DSL box (UPNP server) to solve that ?
is it normal I do not manage to play my files by that way ? or is not it ?
which is the precise difference between UPNP and DLNA ?
is there a way to manage to operate the communication ?

thanks for the advices and the informations
