Good work - I use Mediatomb to stream to my PS3 so I would be interested in the update - I do not use transcoding so not too worried about that.

I note from the mediatomb pages that 0.12 is not yest released so i guess there could still be some issues in the SVN version ??

There are some other features that Jin wants to add to 0.12.0 before it is released.   As far as I can tell, this code is pretty stable.  There are some PS3 related changes in this version, notably the ability to listen to online streaming audio.   Also the YouTube stuff is nice, but not doable on a NAS because the flv format needs to be transcoded.

I've figured out how to create ffp 0.5 packages and I have created them for the dependency libs that are not already part of ffp 0.5 (taglib, spidermonkey, and curl).  With the MediaTomb files, I do not want to install them as part of the ffp tree because I do not want to interfere with what fonz already has in place.  Right now, I have the MediaTomb specific files installed in /mnt/HD_a2/mt very similar to the way MediaTomb structures its static binaries.  I have tried to compile MediaTomb statically, but have no luck so far.

All I need now is a way to distribute these files.  I would prefer not to serve them from my home network.

Any luck with making this a ffp 0.5 package?

I'll check into it.  Thanks for the feedback

UPDATE: I think I figured it out (sort of).  I could not get the EXIF to work in MediaTomb at all, even though the command line EXIF program was reading the exif metadata from my jpgs just fine.  What I had to do was delete config.xml and mediatomb.db (after backing then up of course).  Then I started Mediatomb and let it create fresh copies.  Next, I added the back the aux-data definition to config.xml (under the <import> tag)

    <library-options>
       <libexif>
          <auxdata>
             <add-data tag="EXIF_TAG_DATE_TIME"/>
          </auxdata>
       </libexif>
    </library-options>

After restarting MediaTomb, I imported some jpgs and your script worked.  I know this is not a good solution and importing everything back in a fresh database is a pain, but this is the only way I could get it to work.

Hi boilerjt,

I used the 0.11.0 version from HaydnH and upgraded to your version.. It is running fine, but importing my photo's only imports the first file found..

I use EXIF and created the following script.. it worked with the other version I used..

function addImage(obj)
{
    var chain = new Array('4_pictures', 'All Pictures');
    addCdsObject(obj, createContainerChain(chain), UPNP_CLASS_CONTAINER);

    var date_split = obj.aux['EXIF_TAG_DATE_TIME'];
    var date_split_result = date_split.split(" ");
    var date = date_split_result[0];
    var year = date.substr(0,4);
    var month = year + "-" + date.substr(5,2);
    if (year)
   {
       chain = new Array('4_pictures', 'Year', year);
        addCdsObject(obj, createContainerChain(chain), UPNP_CLASS_CONTAINER);
    }
    if (month)
    {
       chain = new Array('4_pictures', 'Month', month);
       addCdsObject(obj, createContainerChain(chain), UPNP_CLASS_CONTAINER);
   }

}

Hi,

Well I finished reindexing the jpegs..
They are all there, only the date is correct, all the timestamps are 0:00..
So almost there.

Regards.
