Supporting subtitle streaming to Samsung xxB650 tvs

Description

Hi! I'm owner of Samsung LE46B650 tv. This tv is able to render movie files (avi and mkv) from DLNA servers. When using Samsung Share Manager i'm able to watch movies with subtitles (they have to be in SRT aka SubRip? format and have to be named identically to the movie) but this is windows only software. I'd like to do the same using Coherence. I've managed to capture traffic Samsung Share Manager -> Samsung TV and Mediatomb -> Samsung TV. Plain text export of this traffic from wireshark is attached to this ticket. Hope this will allow subtitle support in Coherence DLNA server =o)

(In [1406]) support for subtitles - Samsung style - addresses #248

Works so far with the FSStore backend, if there is a filename.srt file we'll add that as an additional resource (maybe we can use that one day for some other device) and make it accessible via an attachment url

  • attachment coherence added.

  • status changed from new to assigned.

in [1407] I changed the behaviour of the contentFeatures.dlna.org header, maybe that was sufficient.

If not pls try the TestStore. Create a 'test-config.xml file like this: 

<config>
  <serverport>30020</serverport>
  <plugin active="yes">
    <item>
      <mimetype>video/avi</mimetype>
      <location>/tmp/movie.avi</location>
      <upnp_class>object.item.videoItem</upnp_class>
      <fourth_field>DLNA.ORG_OP=01;DLNA.ORG_CI=0;DLNA.ORG_FLAGS=01500000000000000000000000000000</fourth_field>
    </item>
    <name>Test</name>
    <backend>TestStore</backend>
  </plugin>
</config>

Adjust the location to the real path of your movie.
Start coherence -c test-config.xml
If the Samsung is not able to play that file change the mimetype maybe to 'video/x-msvideo' and/or the fourth_field to '*'.
