Latest version 1.8 of Kroozbox:

For PVD users, versoin 1.8  now have a playlist for movie and series with multiple files (click once to play all).

Enjoy,
Nono

Forgive me if I'm a little off topic.  I'm very new to PCH, Kroozbox and PVD...but I'm absolutely loving what you can do with these utilities.  Great work by all. 

Anyway, I have PVD set up and about 50 movies in the database.  I've configured Kroozbox and everything seems to be working correctly via HTTP.  The problem I'm experiencing is that I don't see Kroozbox available from the PCH menu.  The documentation states that Kroozbox should appear as an option automatically in the menu since it supports UPnP.  Unfortunately, I'm not seeing it.

Any suggestions on what I should look for to fix this?  I appreciate any assistance you can offer.  And again, sorry if this isn't the appropritate forum for this question.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Hmmm... never saw this problem. Maybe a firewall issue on the server running Kroozbox? Network connectivity of the NMT box!? Router?

Sorry cannot be more help. Of course, you could also set the "ssdpDebug = true" in the ./config/SSDP.properties file, restart kroozbox with startme.bat and see what you get in the screen output (wait at least 20 seconds for the NMT to send its request). If nothing get listed it would clearly be the NMT SSDP dispatch not geting to Kroozbox.
Does MyHome works properly from the same server running Kroozbox? if yes, I am out of ideas...

Let me know.

Thanks for the help, Nono.  Much appreciated!

I did as you requested.  I set "ssdpDebug = true" and this is the error message that gets posted to the screen output:

 [upnpDevice]  ***ERROR Cannot start UPNP listener. No HTTP server to publish (see properties files)

I'm not sure what is meant by no HTTP server to publish...as I can browse my movie collection in IE just fine.  Anything specific that I should be looking for here?

Thanks again,
CD

Well, make sure that the "ssdpOn" property is set to "true" (ssdpOn = true) in the corresponding template kroozbox.properties file. Else then that.... next time send me the complete screen output when you start Kroozbox. By theway.. using version 1.8.. yes!?

You could always add your service manually in the "./config/extraSSDP.properties". Something like:


--- Code: ---My PVD Movie = 192.168.1.200:9008  (put your own IP and port)
--- End code ---

but it shoudn't be necessary.
