GUPnP on windows

I have been asked several times in the past if gupnp is portable enough. I always told them that I don't know for sure but the only problem i see is the low-level networking bits. Nobody really showed interest in actually trying it out on windows but then came Jens Georg. He managed to make gupnp stack and network-light working on windows within a weekend, despite the fact that some of his hours were wasted due to firewalls being enabled after a reboot and him forgetting about it. He has a small video of network-light running nicely on win32 on his blog.

My first Javascript app

Last night I tried to make a small app/script in javascript (gjs) and it actually worked. :) Here is the code:

const GLib = imports.gi.GLib;
const GUPnP = imports.gi.GUPnP;
const Mainloop = imports.mainloop;

// This doesn't start any threads
GLib.thread_init (null);

let context = new GUPnP.Context ({ main_context: null,
                                   host_ip: null,
                                   port: 0
});

let cp = new GUPnP.ControlPoint ({ client: context,
                                   target: "ssdp:all"
});

function onDeviceProxyAvailable (cp, proxy) {
        log (proxy.get_friendly_name ());
}

// Tell us when there is a new device available
cp.connect ("device-proxy-available", onDeviceProxyAvailable);

// Search and listen for UPnP resources on the network
cp.set_active (true);

Mainloop.run ("0");

GUPnP AV 0.4 and GUPnP Vala 0.5.4 released

GUPnP AV 0.4 released.

New in this release:

- Watch for empty DIDL-Lite nodes.
- Escape the URIs before putting them into DIDL-Lite XML.
- The '.' must be omitted from duration if fraction part is not included.
- Be more lenient when parsing DIDL-Lite XML fragments.
- Don't require the DLNA profile string.
- Try to guess the DLNA Profile if not provided and put "*" in the whole 4th
field of protocolInfo if our guess work fails.
- Make sure 4th field of protocolInfo is completely in compliance with DLNA
guidelines. This only implies one change in the API: enum dlna_play_speed is
replaced by play_speeds, a GList of allowed play speeds as strings.
- Use '1' and '0' to express boolean properties in DIDL-Lite XML.
- Other minor fixes.
