uPnP media renderer

[Trial]

Hi,
i want to present an uPnP media renderer for Enigma2. Up to now only a dreambox with OE2 had one and now almost all E2 boxes. The renderer was written by Michael N. Lipp and called CoCy and adapted by me. What is a media renderer? Something similar to Airplay but based on uPnP. What can it do. You can install BubbleUPnP on your android (IOS???) device and the select the E2 box as the output device. When you chose a video or music file in BubbleUPnP and play it it will be actually played on your STB. So it is an easy way to get music and videos from you cell phone on to the TV screen or to your AVR.

At the moment installation is still quite complicated but you only have to do it once. So in case something fails please make an image backup before you start!

Extract the attached file on you PC and copy the directories CoCy-master, circuits-2.1.0 and circuits-bricks to /etc on you box. Telnet to you box and then
cd /tmp
opkg install libgdbm4
opkg install python-distutils
opkg install python-db
opkg install python-gdbm
opkg install python-xmlrpc
opkg install python-compile
opkg install python-multiprocessing
opkg install python-subprocess
python ez_setup.py
cd circuits-2.1.0
python setup.py install
cd ../circuits-bricks-0.3
python setup.py install
cd ../CoCy-master
python setup.py install

Now copy the directory CoCy to you box into /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SytemPlugins

After a restart you should see an Enigma2 Media Renderer in BubbleUPnP as output device. To be able to play videos from your portable device you must disable Mime Type Checking in BubbleUPnP.

When your image is not ViX then the opkg install part will probably fail because the libraries are not on the feed in this case download the python libs and install them.

I installed it on my Solo2 with OpenViX 3.0.685 and VTi 5.1.
