Description

Issues reported on this forum thread with miniDLNA 1.2.1.
Also replicated by me with miniDLNA 1.0.22 on Seagate GoFlex Home NAS.

HTTP API GetMediaLocation() fails with the following error message:

Error: invalid location, upnp://4d696e69-444c-164e-9d41-0010752d811c/1$4/

and in xbmc.log

22:19:48 M: 36794368   DEBUG: HttpApi Start command: GetMediaLocation  paras: GetMediaLocation; Music;upnp://4d696e69-444c-164e-9d41-0010752d811c/1$4/

This is apparently due to how UPnP URLs are stored internally as URL encoded (/1$4/ is effectively stored in memory as /1%244/) making the resource not able to being identified and matched when GetMediaLocation() function is called. I enabled temporarily some XBMC4Xbox logic showing the problem in the logs:

Previous line repeats 1 times.

Also noticed it is stored URL encoded not only in memory but also in Q:\UserData\sources.xml as well:

    <music>
        ...
        <source>
            <name>GoFlex Home:UPNP-AV</name>
            <path pathversion="1">upnp://4d696e69-444c-164e-9d41-0010752d811c/1%244/</path>
        </source>
    </music>

Temporarily patching CUtil::GetMatchingSource() in Util.cpp just to test things I was able to make it work correctly from the XBMC4XBox web interface.

       ForceForwardSlashes(strShare);
       if (!URIUtils::HasSlashAtEnd(strShare))
         strShare += "/";

But I think this should probably be best fixed somewhere upstream so that UPnP are always stored URL decoded internally, but not sure where and if any negative implications if changed.

This issue affects both XBMC4XBox web interface and XBMC4XBox Remote (Android).

Any thoughts / pointers are more than welcome.

Thank you,
Dan
