Doubt about PORT

[mircose]

First of all, thanks for sharing this great library! hi, I have check your library, and scan dlna server work very well. I use the FritzBox as mediaserver and with example ScanForMediaServers_WiFi.ino I found:

Also other examples work fine.
If I use VLC to scan Server obtain (the same thing):
upnp://http://192.168.178.1:49000/MediaServer/ContentDirectory/Control&ObjectID=0

but if I use VLC to obtain URL of single file I obtain:
http://192.168.178.1:49200/AUDIO/DLNA-1-0/SANDISK_32G/MUSICA/MP3/Alcazar%20-%20Crying%20at%20the%20discoteque.mp3

The PORT is different! and If I use URL with PORT 49200 in browser it's work. I hope someone wants to tell me why there is this difference. It's possible obtain the port suitable for URL in browser? Thank you.

ok i solved. I use object-> downloadPort and object-> downloadIp to make the html address valid to use in a browser. the value of object-> downloadIp is 49200 the same of vlc. Thank you.

Hi there,
it's not uncommon for the ports to be different. Even the ip address can differ.
Thats why structure "soapObject_t" defined in SoapESP32.h has 2 separate variables for it. The services for "content directory" and "file delivery" can theoretically run on different machines and then would carry different IPs & port numbers.

struct soapObject_t
{
bool isDirectory; // true if directory
.......
String uri; // item URI on server, needed for download with GET
IPAddress downloadIp; // download IP can differ from server IP <----- !!!!!!
uint16_t downloadPort; // download port can differ from server control port <----- !!!!!!
};

MinimServer also provides different port numbers, just as an example.

Thanks for using the library and giving me feedback. I appreciate it.
If you like the lib, please git it a star ! :-)))

Thanks Thomas
