As said in the api documentation, you have to send first an SetAVTransportURI action to the device wich provide the url of the video file:

4.2. Controlling a renderer
Cling Support provides several action callbacks that simplify creating a     control point for the AVTransport service. This is the client side of your     player, the remote control.

This is how you set an URI for playback:

ActionCallback setAVTransportURIAction = new SetAVTransportURI(service, "http://www.duorimes.siquiere.fr/wa_files/Il_20camino.flv", "NO METADATA") {
            @Override
            public void failure(ActionInvocation invocation, UpnpResponse     operation, String defaultMsg) {
                // Something was wrong
        }
    };
This is how you actually start playback:

ActionCallback playAction = new Play(service) {
            @Override
            public void failure(ActionInvocation invocation, UpnpResponse     operation, String defaultMsg) {
                // Something was wrong
            }
        };

In my case, the first action send me a 500 error code (Internal server error)

Did someone ever experience the same problem?

Thanks by advance for your help.

Answer 1

For SetAVTransportURI, meta must be encoded in XML defined by DLNA spec.

In SetAVTransportURI(service, "http://www.duorimes.siquiere.fr/wa_files/Il_20camino.flv", "NO METADATA"), "NO METADATA" is illegal XML string.

Try to use empty String "" or generate your own meta XML may help.
