[digiKam-users] Digikam DLNA/UPNP not working

[Yap Matit (Dr)]

Hi,

I am trying to access digikam through DLNA/UPNP server from either VLC or Kodi on MX Linux. For VLC I can see connection succeeded but followed by HTTP 404 Not found error. As for Kodi, I can browse the list of photos, but whenever I clicked on any photo, only blank screen is shown. Please help. Thank you.

Hi,

The UPNP/DLNA backend used in digiKam is the same than... Kodi. I'm
surprised to see this kind of dysfunction, as i personality tested
with a lots of UPNP clients including Kodi and VLC in the past.

Please create a new bug report in bugzilla in UPNP export plugin
section and be well precise about the context, the version of UPNP
clients, the network used, the collection storage, the OS version, if
a firewall is running in background, etc.

We need also to know the debug trace on the console to investigate,
following instructions here :

Thanks in advance
