Overview

The Sender service indicates the presence of a Songcast sender and provides information concerning that sender.

A Songcast sender broadcasts music on a network in a way that is playable by a Songcast receiver.

If a device's Product service reports an attribute source of type 'Sender', then that device is guaranteed to bear the Sender service. Alternatively, Songcast senders can be discovered independently of the Product service by simply searching for devices bearing the Sender service.

State Variables

Attributes

Reserved for future use.

Audio

true if audio is currently available from this Sender; false otherwise.

Metadata

Provides basic information about the sender in DIDL-Lite format.

<DIDL-Lite xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
           xmlns:upnp="urn:schemas-upnp-org:metadata-1-0/upnp/"
           xmlns="urn:schemas-upnp-org:metadata-1-0/DIDL-Lite/">
    <item id="0" restricted="True">
        <dc:title>[sender_name]</dc:title>"
        <res protocolInfo="ohz:*:*:[m|u]">ohz://239.255.255.250:51972/[device_udn]</res>
        <upnp:albumArtURI>[full_uri]</upnp:albumArtURI>
        <upnp:class>object.item.audioItem</upnp:class>
    </item>
</DIDL-Lite>

Note that protocolInfo takes the form ohz:*:*:m or ohz:*:*:u depending on whether multicast or unicast mode is enabled

PresentationUrl

Reports the url of a presentation page for further information concerning the sender, or for controlling the sender in some application-specific way. If the sender has no presentation page, PresentationUrl is empty.

Status

Deprecated. Use Status2 instead.

  • Enabled - sender enabled by user configuration and not blocked
  • Blocked - audio from another sender detected on the same channel (mis-configuration)
  • Disabled - sender disabled by user configuration

Status2

Reports the status of the sender (normally only for debugging purposes):

  • Sending - currently sending audio over the network
  • Ready - capable of sending audio but no listeners. Use Audio to determine whether audio would be sent immediately a listener joins.
  • Blocked - audio from another sender detected on the same channel (mis-configuration)
  • Inactive - sender device is playing content which cannot be broadcast
  • Disabled - sender disabled by user configuration
