I would suspect that this is an issue with running Miranda in the VM. What are your network configurations for VirtualBox? By default VirtualBox puts hosts on their own little subnet, so your Ubuntu VM is probably not getting the multicast UPnP traffic routed to it.

I would run Wireshark on both the Windows host and the Ubuntu VM. If you can see the UPnP traffic (labeled as SSDP traffic by Wireshark) while running Wireshark inside of Ubuntu, then it’s likely a bug in Miranda. If not, then the UPnP traffic is never getting to the Ubuntu box, likely due to the VM network configuration.

“Entering discovery mode for ‘upnp:rootdevice’, Ctl+C to stop… ”

I have a wireless router and i am wirelessely connected to router through laptop.THe upnp is enabled in router and when i run a toll called UPNP tester in my windows it shows my router but when i wsitch to ubuntu the mirands does,nt detect anything.
I took my laptop to a different place wherein we had the axis camera,the similar thing happened there,THe upnp tester in windows work and detects the camera but not miranada in ubuntu.

NOte : i am able to go online through ubuntu>

Please help if anyone has any suggestion,Is this happening as Ubuntu is running inside WIndows?
THanks in advance

Have fun,
Yours,
Sebastian

Haha, I wrote the tool and didn’t catch that in your above post, so don’t feel bad.

I would *love* to get any UPnP data that you are willing to send – the SRW2024P sounds especially interesting…

I’m an idiot! I was using the tool incorrectly. This is what I should have done.

host info 1 deviceList MediaServer services ContentDirectory actions Browse arguments UpdateID

What I did was swap actions with Browse showing that I didn’t clearly understand the protocol

Now that I know I’ll be glad to send you data from all of the UPnP systems I have on my network. BTW where I noticed SSDP running was on a Enterprise Linksys SRW2024P Gig switch. Of course I’ll send what I have on it if you like as well.

Thanks again for your help!

Glad you find it useful! As to the exception you’re encountering, it’s probably due to the quotes around the word “Browse” (Miranda doesn’t expect quotes here, which is a bug that should be fixed). Any reason you’re quoting that word though?

Miranda hasn’t been tested against MythTV. I assume that it is returning valid XML and the blog content filter striped out the brackets from your post, but if you are still having trouble, it would help immensely if you could email us (dev [at] sourcesec.com) any of the tcpdump data and XML files, or save the Miranda data to a file and send us that:

upnp> save data

We’d appreciate it!
