Universalmediaserver: Player Control Panel not working on Viera

[Sami32]

Hello,

sorry to first posting this report to the wrong place in the "Support General Help and Support" of your Website.
In the version 6.0.0 and later, i can see a little windows in the up left corner, and when i make it bigger i get an empty windows.
I tested with UMS 5.5.0 until 6.2.0 version and with JAVA 1.7u80 and 1.8u77 as well.

So here are the photos and logs :
UMS version 5.5.0

UMS version 6.0.0

P.S. For the UMS log i am not able to upload them as ZIP as i get "Unfortunately, we don't support that file type" ???
Whatever, i posted them there. I hope that will help you.

I tested with latest JAVA 7u101 and JAVA 8u92, and with UMS 6.0.0a1 and i get same "broken" _Player Control Panel_ on my Windows XP SP3 32-bit old computer.

With JAVA 7u101 and UMS 6.2.2 modified ( with MediaInfo.dll and FFmpeg.exe files from UMS 6.2.0, avoiding giving me the errors of my anterior post ) i get this little different error message in the log :

The _Unknow renderer_ is a family laptop downstair, but the _VIERA E6 Series_ and _Panasonic TX-L32V10E_ are the same TV !
As you can see, the _Panasonic TX-L32V10E_ give a one line _Player Control panel_ when the _VIERA E6 Series_ give Java error as mentioned before.
Sometimes this kind of display can happen, so i am not sure it could help to debug the problem but just in case...i leave the debug file as well :

[valib]

@Sami32 recognition of the Panasonic TVs is a little bit tricky. They use basicly the same User-Agent header so simply disable the Panasonic TX-L32V10E if it is not in your net.

[Sami32]

@valib OK, thank you. When i don't make tests, i normally disable all other drivers...but your UMS and programming skill are much better than mine so i appreciate your notice, advice :-)

About a new test run with UMS 6.3.0 and Java 1.8u92, here are the log with some differences :

@Sami32 I see that you are running UMS 6.3.0 Java 8 version and Java 1.8u92 on WIN XP. Maybe this is the problem. I recommend to use the last supported Java 1.7u80 for WIN XP and the UMS 6.3.0 Java 7 version. Or try to clean reinstall Java and UMS.

[skeptical]

@valib hi there :-). The ClassCastException is due to 296a941 Viera hack in UPNPControl.java, which breaks the overall player control logic.

@Sami32 out of curiosity, do the player controls (pause/play etc) in the gui actually work for your Viera in 5.5.0? Afaik @SubJunk couldn't get them to work on his Viera.

[valib]

@skeptical nice to hear you again. I started to think that only @SubJunk and me remained in this project :-)
I have also Viera TV but unfortunately due to my WiFi net configuration the UPNP support doesn't work so I've never seen such error.

[skeptical]

@valib shh... I'm not really here... :~). As I recall the wifi explanation for your missing upnp support was just a theory, have you ever tested by connecting your Viera via ethernet? Also I think you were the earliest experimenter with Cling among us, does testing with latest cling workbench now give you the same results as UMS?

[SharkHunter]

I thought I saw a ghost....It might have been my own reflection in the mirror :)

[skeptical]

hey, it's a hall of mirrors now :-).

[SharkHunter]

hehe :)

[valib]

@skeptical unfortunately I am lazy enough to wire my flat :-) Maybe I should do it for testing purpose.
The problem is that due to some restrictions in my net the Cling Workbench doesn't see my TV which can communicate only at the DLNA level. I use Cling Workbench quite often to test what is the UMS sending during browsing. For me it is much more readable than check the XML interpretation in the log :-)

[Sami32]

Hello every body, sorry for my late answers but i was testing ;-)

@valib Like i told first, i tried many UMS versions and Java versions as well and i got the same problem.
I joint you the debug log for UMS 6.3.0 and Java 1.7u80.
http://www.universalmediaserver.com/forum/download/file.php?id=3226

@skeptical You give me a doubt, so i tried it and discovered that it was not streaming to the TV, so i tried so many versions of UMS...same results.
I remember when i discovered UMS some months ago, i tried the _Player Control Panel_ on a old laptop with Windows 7, die already :-( , and it was working fine.
So did it mean that not be to work with Windows XP ?

Here the debug log with Java errors when using the _Player Control Panel_ in UMS 5.5.0.
http://www.universalmediaserver.com/forum/download/file.php?id=3227

N.B. But the sound control work fine ;-)

[skeptical]

@Sami32 thx for testing + logs :+1:.

You are on ethernet and your Viera's upnp services including AVT appear to be alive and well, which is a good sign :-). The exceptions in your logs are due to a separate issue which was fixed since 5.5.0, so for definitive results please test again with 6.3.0 plus this update (which should override the Viera hack and allow upnp services to be active as they were before).

Put the enclosed _update.jar_ next to _ums.jar_ in your UMS 6.3.0 program folder, restart and test again and post logs (and remove the _update.jar_ if it doesn't help).
update-ums-6.3.1-SNAPSHOT-disable-viera-hack.zip

EDIT: if you still get problems, try also adding this setting to your Viera renderer conf:

PushMetadata = false

[Sami32]

@skeptical You did it :-D :+1:
Here the debug log :
http://www.universalmediaserver.com/forum/download/file.php?id=3229
Sadly i don't have any Java skill so i don't really understand what was the trick, but thank you very much for your help !
The _Player Control Panel_ is working now, but it doesn't stream to my TV yet, i will try adding your tip in my renderer conf and tell you back.

[skeptical]

@Sami32 as you say, no streaming, logs show errors for the AVTransport commands sent to the Viera:

Question: if you play something directly from the Viera instead of the control panel, does the time display under the Viera icon in the status tab work correctly? Does it pause when you pause, etc?

[Sami32]

@skeptical Yes, you are right, when i play movies from my TV i didn't see the time display under the VIERA E6 icon, only the title pinning; only volume control work while i open the _Player Control Panel_.

When i use _Stop_ command from the _Player Control Panel_, while playing movie from my TV, it's just stop the title to pin around in the Statut bar under the _VIERA E6_ icon.
http://www.universalmediaserver.com/forum/download/file.php?id=3232

EDIT : When i stream movie from my TV, the _Play_ button is not active in the _Player Control Panel_.

[skeptical]

@Sami32 You are able to manipulate the volume, which means the Viera's _RenderingControl_ service is working ok. The problem is mainly with the Viera's _AVTransport_ service and not UMS itself (same unsolved bug appears to be reported here too, btw). It may be possible to get the Viera to accept AVT commands by manipulating the xml data being sent from UMS via AVTransport, but it would need a programmer with access to a Viera to debug that effectively.

I don't think it would point to any easy solution, but I would be interested to see logs showing a movie being streamed from your tv for at least 30 seconds using this update (it's the same as the previous one but with more detailed logging):
update-ums-6.3.1-SNAPSHOT-disable-viera-hack-2.zip

[Sami32]

Thanks for helping :-)

I did it, so here the LOG :
ums_dbg_Skeptical.zip.txt
If it could be useful, i joint UPnP analyse as well :
UPNP_Analyse.txt

[skeptical]

@Sami32 Unfortunately I don't see anything really useful in the extended log either. One more independant test you can try is via cling workbench, as shown here. Download the standalone workbench jar and double-click it to start, then play a movie on your tv, and in workbench (as shown in the picture):

1. Highlight the Viera _MediaRenderer_ icon.
2. Select _AVTransport_.
3. Press _Use Service_ to open up the AVTransport popup window.
4. See if there is any feedback showing from the tv as to playback, or whether any of the controls work. Try all the instance tabs (0-7) at the top.

Let me know what you find. If there's no feedback then there's no obvious fix for us to try.

[Sami32]

@skeptical Thank you for the report, and make me discover Cling stuff ;-)

I tried but using the version 1.0.5, since the later one are not working on Windows XP...
Only the instance 0 was working, but i get no feedback, and when i used the _Play_ command from _Cling Workbench_ it making my TV displaying the default channel, so discarding my streaming movie.
The _Reward_ and _Forward_ command it make my TV on black screen, like _Remote_...

N.B. The Media Controller from the last _Twonky Server_ is working fine though, so i guess that your assumption made in anterior post is correct, it's something to do with UPnP/DLNA implementation. But like told @valib before, Panasonic Viera is maybe a little tricky...
I have again 5 day free Twonky trial, maybe i can try to spy a little more on their DLNA implementation...any ideas, suggestions are welcome ;-)

I don't know if theses datas will give any help but...
CLING_WORKBENCH_1.0.5.txt

[skeptical]

@Sami32 do UMS and workbench both give you the same failures (play->default channel, ff/rew-> black screen)? Ums uses cling, so whatever you can get to work in workbench would also be fixable in UMS. Some things to try:

• In workbench you can try copying resource uris from the twonky/ums _ContentDirectory_ popup and pasting them into the Viera _AVTransport_ uri box and seeing if you can get anything to play.
  
• The first error thrown by your tv when you try to push a uri (when PushMetadata=true) is '_Illegal MIME-type_'. This could just be a coincidence, i.e. caused by xml parsing problems, or it could actually be true and maybe some files are playable depending on mimetype. Try a lot of filetypes, or see if you can spot critical differences in the mimetypes in the _Protocol Info_ between UMS and twonky for the same video.

If you enjoy headaches :-) and want to sniff AVTransport commands going to your tv from twonky (or any server), note the Viera's descriptor port in workbench:

and capture the network traffic.

In wireshark capturing 'All' with this display filter worked for me (ip.src is your pc address, ip.dst is your tv address, tcp.port is the descriptor port):

(ip.src==192.168.1.7 and ip.dst==192.168.1.5 and tcp.port==60537)

or you can use WinDump (aka tcpdump in linux, which is what I actually used) from the command line like in the bug report I linked above (again using your correct tv port)

windump -A -s 0 'tcp port 60537 and (((ip[2:2] - ((ip[0]&0xf)<<2)) - ((tcp[12]&0xf0)>>2)) != 0)' > tcpdump.log

we are interested in SOAP data for AVTransport commands, e.g. SetAVTransportURI

PS @valib @SubJunk feel free to jump in with a temporary cat5 cable and your actual Vieras anytime, I may be drifting off into the ether again soon :-)

[Sami32]

@skeptical For now i will give you the infos obtained with _UPNP Inspector_(Play, Pause, Stop worked) and _Twonky_, but sadly, like in Cling i din't find a way to save the full Log :-(
Reward and Forward give an error 711 (illegal seek target) in _UPNP Inspector_.
Tomorrow i will test more kind of videos with _Cling Workbench_ and try sniffing with Wireshark.

N.B. Not that i really need this feature, but i like when things are working fine and not use many applications when one could do the job; maybe i like headaches after all :-D

EDIT : @skeptical Good news, everything working with _Cling Workbench_ using the way you explain me with _Twonky Server_.
Stop, Play and Pause commands give "_WARNING - 16:32:00:265 - cling-31 : support.lastchange.LastChangeParser$InstanceIDHandler.startElement : Error reading event XML, ignoring value: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum constant org.teleal.cling.support.model.TransportAction.X_DLNA_PS=-300,-150,-70,-30,-5,5,30,70,150,300_" but are working.
The SKIP +15s worked fine without error.
The SKIP -15s command return at the beginning of the video...
But ithe test was do with _Cling Workbench_ 1.0.5 version so maybe the latest version will work better ?
I tried MKV, AVI, 3GP, MPG, TS, M2TS, MTS videos, and they played all, so it's giving some hopes ;-D

OK, so with UMS, when the _Protocol Info_ give MIMETYPE_AUTO, mainly because of subtitles, it try to transcode everything in MPEG as preferred MIME Type !
So it's just mean that renderer conf is ignored or superseded.
I was able to play videos files in different formats with Cling Workbench, but not with UMS Player Control Panel.
ums_dbg_ProtocolInfos_Getposition.zip.txt

Except with MP4-H264-HD-AACLC-2ch.mp4 video file (see LOG), the others didn't get/indicate the time position, duration.
GetPosition.txt

Do this have anything to do with that ? (RemoteMediaHandler.java)

if (mime.equals(FormatConfiguration.MIMETYPE_AUTO) && m.getMimeType() != null) {
            mime = m.getMimeType();
        }
        int code = 200;
        dlna.setDefaultRenderer(r);
        if (dlna.getFormat().isVideo()) {
            if (flash) {
                mime = "video/flash";
            } else if (!RemoteUtil.directmime(mime) || RemoteUtil.transMp4(mime, m)) {
                mime = render != null ? render.getVideoMimeType() : RemoteUtil.transMime();
                if (FileUtil.isUrl(dlna.getSystemName())) {
                    dlna.setPlayer(new FFmpegWebVideo());
                } else {
                    dlna.setPlayer(new FFMpegVideo());
                }
                //code = 206;
            }
            if (
                PMS.getConfiguration().getWebSubs() &&
                dlna.getMediaSubtitle() != null &&
                dlna.getMediaSubtitle().isExternal()
            ) {
                // fetched on the side
                sid = dlna.getMediaSubtitle();
                dlna.setMediaSubtitle(null);
            }
        }

@skeptical By the way, when i was testing for trying to find what was wrong with in the AVTransport, i discover that not only WAV music files was parsed with audio/mpeg:DLNA.ORG_PN=MP3 but all the music files OGG, FLAC, AAC !

_Wireshark_ SOAP datas with _TWONKY_ :
SetAVTransport.xml.txt

Thank you for your explanations and tutorials :-)

EDIT : Update with _UMS_ and _Wireshark_ 1.12.11
UMS_GetPositionInfo.txt
UMS_setAVTransport.txt
UMS_Play.txt

Tell me if i can do something else to help...

[skeptical]

@Sami32 you've been a busy bee :+1:. I'll look at the data, but first please try the UMS control panel with this update and send logs for PushMetadata=true and also PushMetadata=false. This update tries to look at some possible simpler causes of the issue:

update-ums-6.3.1-SNAPSHOT-viera-avt-fixes.zip

EDIT: also experiment with bumping (i.e. pushing) ums content from the web interface to your Viera (see wiki).

[Sami32]

@skeptical Yeahh !!! You are the guy with the good question, remark :+1:
_PushMetadata=False_ will make the things working fine; i will do more testing later as well learn how to use Web interface...
ums_dbg_PushMetadata=False.zip.txt
ums_dbg_PushMetadata_TRUE.zip.txt

So i did test Web interface with Firefox on my very slow computer...and it give me same result : working fine with _PushMetadata=False_ and not working with the value set to _True_

N.B. But why now it's working with PushMetadata=false and not before...it is a mystery for me...
I did tried with UPnP option Enable/Disable on my router, same result, as with the option of network protection against intrusive IPv6.

[skeptical]

@Sami32 it's a much simpler reason than we imagined :-D. The resource uris that UMS sends often include url-encoded characters (e.g %5C for \, etc), which the Viera rejects because it's being stricter about this than other devices. For PushMetadata=false I patched UMS to send a uri without url-encoded characters:

TRACE 2016-05-21 14:08:38.218 [AWT-EventQueue-0] simplified 'C%3A%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CPhilippe%5CMESDOC%7E1%5CT%C3%89L%C3%89CH%7E1%5CPEAKYB%7E1.X26%5CPEAKYB%7E1.MKV' to 'resource.MKV'

and voila! Twonky wasn't doing anything special, its uris were just simpler than UMS.

To narrow the issue some more try this update with both PushMetadata states.

update-ums-6.3.1-SNAPSHOT-viera-avt-fixes-2.zip

[Sami32]

@skeptical Here are the new LOGs updates, PushMetadata=False is the only one working.
ums_dbg_PushMetadata=TRUE2.zip.txt
ums_dbg_PushMetadata=False2.zip.txt

With PushMetadata=False it is working but...
1) Subtitles are not displayed.

Did not send subtitle headers because mediaRenderer.getSubtitleHttpHeader returned either null or blank

2) REWIND & FORWARD seeking commands are doing a one time 60s jump...not continuously.

DEBUG 2016-05-22 13:01:56.093 [AWT-EventQueue-0] Action failed: Error: Transition not available (HTTP response was: 500 Internal Server Error)

3) This error is displaying in the _Cling Workbench_ LOG :

WARNING - 13:09:55:359 - cling-47 : support.lastchange.LastChangeParser$InstanceIDHandler.startElement : Error reading event XML, ignoring value: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum constant org.teleal.cling.support.model.TransportAction.X_DLNA_PS=-300,-150,-70,-30,-5,5,30,70,150,300

[skeptical]

@Sami32

1. when PushMetadata=false there's no metadata, which means no subtitle info is sent (this is the same as when you push a twonky/ums uri via workbench).
2. Rew/Fwd is defined in ums upnp support as one 60 second jump, so that's normal.
3. The error is insignificant, I think.

Try this update with PushMetadata=true, it tries to send a proper DLNA.ORG_PN flag for mkv, which may have been the problem. Also, try pushing other file types.
update-ums-6.3.1-SNAPSHOT-viera-avt-fixes-3.zip

[Sami32]

@skeptical Thank you for your explanation and your patience ;-)

It is not working with _PushMetadata=TRUE_; i did tried many different kind of files as asked :

Did this MIME Type problem have any to do with the "transcoded_to" found in _Resource URI_ in _Content Directory_ of UMS ?

http://192.168.1.28:5001/get/73/3G2-MP4-AACLC-2ch.3g2_transcoded_to.mpg

N.B. About the point 2 i was not clear. I was trying to tell that we cannot change the time seeking 30,70,150,300s by clicking more times on _FWD_ (same for _RWD_) and that when we click on the button (_FWD/RWD_) it take action only one time, not continuously until we click on _Play_ button (like in _TWONKY Server_, if i am not able to explain well with my poor english...)
It's just about this seeking UMS implementation that i find not very useful but as i see that just a Cling copy so that explain it.

[skeptical]

@Sami32 thx for explaining point 2 :-). Let's call it a feature request and slightly off-topic here, where the main issue is fixing the Viera avt commands.

Another try at fixing PushMetadata=true scenario, please send logs again:

[skeptical]

@Sami32 I'm only a worker bee :P. It seems you are doing something different between test 3 and 4. Can you please try several files, both from player control panel and web interface?

[Sami32]

@skeptical Different ? no...except upgrading to 6.3.1.1.
But i discover a weir comportment...sometimes the same movie was working and sometimes not !
It's look like it is time to take Paracetamol :-D
Except if upgrading to 6.3.1.1

The first 2 videos didn't play, the 3 next (.3gp, .flv, .mkv) did and some was the same as at the beginning, and after nothing was playing anymore ?!!
I tried with Web interface but it didn't work ether (see the LOG at the end).
ums_dbg_PushMetadata=TRUE4bis.zip.txt

N.B. Maybe i am wrong, but it's look like the _Web interface_ is buggy for non PS3 users ?

EDIT : I don't know if it can help you, but in _Cling Workbench_, when browsing in _ContentDirectory_, i find this kind of errors :

SEVERE - 20:22:07:250 - AWT-EventQueue-0 : ContentDirectoryService Browser : Error: Current state of service prevents invoking that action.

I saw, as you did, that when the _Player Control Panel_ is not working correctly [CurrentURIMetaData,null] appear in the LOG.
So i will try the next update with your latest commit and tell you back. I suspect that this problem is related to Metadata but maybe it's to _Protocol Info_ or something else...

EDIT 2 : @skeptical We can eliminate network and Cling problems since _Cling Workbench_ stream fine on _Panasonic Viera_ with TWONKY and TVMOBILI. So it need to be UMS code ?
I did make it work on UMS 6.3.2, but only for MKV files without subtitle, with PushMetadata=true, and with an address copied from Cling Workbench _ContentDirectory_.
ums_dbg.zip.txt

P.S. I'm just wondering if someone tried to replace _Cling_ by _JUPNP_ https://github.com/jupnp/jupnp , just to test if it will solve this problem and maybe others as well ?
