uPNP server not visible
#1
I'm trying to stream the media from my Linux XBMC setup via uPNP to another XBMC front end running on OSX and a PS3. I've been into settings and activated the uPNP server but this does not show up on the PS3 or my Mac running XBMC.

The Linux XBMC can see the Mac uPNP server, but not vice versa. There are no errors in the debug log, it seems to imply the server is starting correctly:

The only thing I can think of is that somehow it is using 127.0.0.1 as the IP rather than my actual IP address, as mentioned when the events server starts, however this can not be changed.

As my mythtv backend is correctly serving files via uPNP I think my routes are set up correctly.

Any ideas where I can go now to diagnose why XBMC isn't showing up on the network?

You probably need to have a read through the wiki about how the upnp server works. The files need added to the library and exported before they'll show up. I'm not sure if anything is rendered if the server is enabled and no files are exported.

I've read through the wiki but I can see no mention of setting up XBMC as a server, only how to get it to connect to existing uPNP shares from a Windows box.

My Windows box and Linux XBMC can see the Mac XBMC as a uPNP server even though it has no files (I'm only using the Mac for testing). I'm still wondering if for some reason the Linux XBMC is setting up the uPNP server on 127.0.0.1 rather than the actual IP address? The home screens states the eth0 IP but the event server starts on 127.0.0.1. How can I check this?

Any other suggestions gratefully received!
