Gallery MediaServer

Gallery is an open source web based photo album organizer. The backend retrieves that data via a slightly modified galleryremote module and processes it for use by other UPnP clients.

UPnP ContentDirectory structure

The returned media data from the gallery server is represented in this structure:

  • Gallery
    • folder 1
      • folder 3
    • folder 2
      • image A
      • image B
    • ...

resembling the folder structure on the gallery server.

Configuration

The Gallery backend accepts these options:

server_url
the uri of the gallery server remote access interface
username
the username needed to get access to the gallery server (optional)
password
the corresponding password (optional)
name:
the name this backend should show up on your UPnP clients, defaults to Gallery
version

                             {'name':'Gallery',
                              'server_url':'http://site/'},
                             dbus_interface='org.Coherence',
                             reply_handler=add_plugin_callback,
                             error_handler=error_callback)
