Universalmediaserver: Regression: Thumbnails not working on Samsung TVs in 6.7.3

[SubJunk]

There are two posts about the regression in the release thread http://www.universalmediaserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10450

I have many problem with Samsung D5500 too:

• no thumbnails
• sort is not working
• updated srt files no see on my TV (hasn't subtitle there or my TV cannot see this .srt file).

With 6.7.2 version no problem, all things is correct.

and:

But I have the same problem as with 7.0.0-rc1. Both my Samsung TV's won't show thumbnails any more.

@SubJunk how can we help without the log?

[valib]

@Nadahar I think that the problem is that we send for thumnails the flag DLNA.ORG_CI=1. We don't send it for folders image and it works. Thumbnails are in 99% transcoded or generated. We should avoid to send the flag and it should work because before the version 6.7.3 we don't send it. For renderer is not important than we may need to transcode thumbnails before they are send.

Possible fix in #1383.

@valib I know you are fixated on the CI flag, but I've explained that before. From what I can see, this issue isn't related to that flag at all, but a NPE if the renderer requests ContentFeatures in the HTTP header.

[Nadahar]

@SubJunk Can you please test #1383 on your Samsung TV?

[SubJunk]

@Nadahar I can gladly test it but I only have a Panasonic TV, is that still useful?

[Nadahar]

@SubJunk Sorry, I confused myself to believe that you'd experiences the issue yourself. This far, only one user seems to have tested the fix in the release thread, and he goes on about some sorting problem that I can't reproduce/don't quite understand. It seems that this fixed the intended issue though, but I'd like to have some more feedback.

@UniversalMediaServer/developers Do we have any other way to test this on an affected renderer, can any of you think of somebody?

They key to being affected by this bug is that the renderer requests ContentFeatures in the HTTP header, which makes it a bit hard to guess to which renderers it applies. All I know is that this was the "DLNA 1.0 way" to get media metadata, and that protocolInfo has since become the preffered way to get the same information. Older renderers are therefore most likely to experience the issue.

@squadjot If you have an affected Samsung TV, would it be possible to get you to test this version and see if it solves it?

@Nadahar I do have an affected Samsung TV, but the link seems to be broken.
Could you please provide a working link to test?
Thanks.

[Nadahar]

@angeljharrison1 Thanks, I've fixed the link. The link is for Windows though. If you're on a different OS, tell me and I'll build one for that.

[angeljharrison1]

@Nadahar Thanks, no need I'm using Windows. I'm downloading it right now, will test it and let you know the result.

@Nadahar Thank you, I've tested it and it's working. Good job 👍

[Nadahar]

@angeljharrison1 Great, thanks 😄
