OK, no problem.
You already provide a big feedback in few hours
Just some quick feedback to say I’ve tried it out quickly with XBMC (on Raspberry Pi) and it can see and communicate with it. Not really tried much with it yet, however TTS works 
I can see my Panasonic TV too.
Will try a bit more later when I have some media hooked up.
Hi lolodomo,
I installed new plug and it seemed to work at first. I can see my renderer (Panasonic KDL-55EX720). I can mute and send tts to it.
However, the controller (server) fails to discover any control points. Using Device Spy, I can see a half dozen on my home network. The Discover button says scanning and is disabled. It remains in this state.
Looks great so far!!

That’s really cool if it works with Sony and Panasonic. That’s a good start point.
However, the controller (server) fails to discover any control points. Using Device Spy, I can see a half dozen on my home network. The Discover button says scanning and is disabled. It remains in this state.
Sorry but that is not clear, maybe just due to bad terminology.
The plugin is a control point, meaning it can make a Media Server communicate with a Media Renderer.
The plugin discovers Media Renderers in the Settings tab (button “Discover”) and Media Servers in the Player Tab (button “Refresh”). In any case, it will discovers control points.
So what discovery is not working ? Which tab ? Did you wait for enough time (it takes few seconds to discover) ?
Did you setup your Panasonic renderer “manually” ?
If you have problems with discovery, please try the code I provided few posts before, either using “urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:MediaRenderer:1” for Media Renderers or “urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:MediaServer:1” for Media Servers.
And don’t forget that UPnP discovery can require a particular setup of your Vera (at least VeraLite): http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,16905.msg132502.html#msg132502
Don’t hesitate to communicate if you have to do this setup change, and if you have a Vera 3 or a VeraLite.
There is one case where the discovery buttons could remain at “scanning”. It can happen if a reload is done during a discovery.
I will fix that in the next version. To unlock the buttons, open the advanced tab and clear the value of the variables DMRDiscoveryResult and DMSDiscoveryResult and then reload.
This looks very promising - great effort.
Discovery of servers and renders works OK. I can browse through files on a Twonky media server and play them to my Sonos boxes. Mute works and TTS works. The Sonos boxes also come up as servers - I assume that’s their aux line inputs?
I also have a Yamaha AV receiver but I can’t see any interaction with the AV RX or control it. It may be operator error on my part. So if I directly set up the Yamaha AV receiver (using its IR remote control) to play music from the Twonky media server, that works. But I would have thought at that point the plugin would show that happening - that is display what’s being played and also be able to control it?
Have attached the desc file and here is the discovery:

conclusion:
not needed for vera lite to change IPTables (i have autodetect UPnP devices in net-tab turned off, donno if this matter) , just put in the Implementation file in the device and reboot vera.
thing is working OK for movies (MKV 4 high bitrate type).
pressing volume slider on control-tab > invalid service
seems that URI not working as it parses chosen movie again.

The two service files are not for Sonos but are THE services files implemented by the plugin devices. They are required.
I have not yet changed their names because I am not sure that it can not lead to a problem for users using the Sonos plugin too.
Of course, you could create your own AVTransport and RenderingControl service files, but you can have only one instance of these services in the Vera: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,17280.0.html
And furthermore, the files have to be named S_SonosAVTransport1.xml and S_SonosRenderingControl1.xml because it is what is defined in the file D_DLNAMediaController1.xml.
As a conclusion, I will not study your other problems as it could be simply the consequence of the uncomplete installation of the plugin.
But if you provide your AVTransport and RenderingControl service files from your DMR, I will check if they have additional things compared to my current files, and then add them to my files.

No.
Sonos is a DMR + a DMS. But the Sonos DMS can only be connected to a Sonos DMR. They use vendor specific protocol names.
So you can browse the server … but that’s all.

The error is due to a parsing error of your file by my code. I will fix that as soon as possible. And I will add a control in case the parsing is not able to retrieve the UDN field.
It could be interesting to provide your AVTransport and RenderingControl files. I could add special actions provided by Yamaha.

perhaps different sub-net ? the DLNA thing uses broadcast on 255.255.255.255 subnet from what i understand. or the difference lies in that we have a vera lite ?
edit:
support for Yamaha would be really great ;D > port of yammie avcontroller [url=https://yavc.svn.codeplex.com/svn/]https://yavc.svn.codeplex.com/svn/[/url]
also a lot of new av-receivers have DLNA onboard nowadays. onkyo has one too. sony and pioneer also. most of them support only audio though
i wonder what would be possible with the vera and the samsung tv as it gives me 3 devices:

We all have a VeraLite (don’t know for a-lurker).
Our VeraLite is on the same subnet as the DMRs.

The first purpose of my plugin is to be a DLNA Control Point. So I will “work” with devices of type “urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:MediaRenderer:1” and “urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:MediaServer:1”, not others.
Your other Samsung device types are certainly specific UPnP devices created by Samsung to control the Samsung through UPnP. For this, you need to develop a specific plugin.
BUT my lua library could certainly be of a great help for this development. It was the second purpose of my plugin: create a common library that provides a high-level access to UPnP (including @futzle’s UPnP event proxy). This library is not yet fully commented. That’s is in my TODO list. This library can help anybody to create a new plugin based on UPnP even without knowing SOAP messages used by UPnP or even without knowing the HTTP interface to be used with the UPnP event proxy.
Here is the Logs when I changed Volume Level On my Linux Renderer, didn’t found some errors.
When I control It with Bubble Upnp, Feedback are Ok, I see Volume Level status change even if I control It from Vera (just to check if is a gmediarender problem but seem not).

On the Yamaha AV receiver - I have attached the files:
/RenderingControl/desc.xml
/ConnectionManager/desc.xml

I have a Vera 3. Its LAN switch and its WiFi are not used. I have a separate managed switch.
Out of interest the FritzBox modem/voip boxes also have a DLNA server in them.
A project has been created in code.mios.com. My sources and my versions will now be available here: / – DLNA Media Controller
I will create a wiki page … when I have time.
