| Summary | 0019652: UPnP browsing: manual edit of server IP address is numeric only (doesn't support domains) | ||||
| Description | In MMA 1.x When you try to manually enter MM UPnP server you could enter an IP address or the associated domain eg http://192.168.0.1:11111/DeviceDescription.xml and http://mymmserver.org:11111/DeviceDescription.xml, but in MMA 2.0, the field is listed as 'Server IP address' and editing it only allows for entry of numeric data (i.e. only a numeric keypad appears rather than a keyboard). NOTE: Entering URL not just IP address is essential for users that use DDNS and Port forward on Routers in order to make MM server available over Internet. | ||||

Note: this isn't critical because the user can edit the URL field directly, but already some users didn't realize this. Recommended changes to fix this: 1) change: Server IP address ---> Server IP address / Domain 2) Change the numeric keypad to a regular keypad for this field |

As commented by Peke, the issue is more severe than originally described since there's also a functional problem: 3) Contrary to what I wrote in the comment above, editing the URL field in the 'Add media server' dialog doesn't work if the user tries to edit the domain in the URL field--the changes aren't committed upon clicking 'Save' so the workaround doesn't actually work. This fails both when 'Save'ing a new media server or 'Edit'ing an existing saved entry. |
