GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 730747
Control Point shows library in reverse order
Last modified: 2019-02-22 05:57:25 UTC
I was trying the gupnp-av-cp (0.8.8) on ubuntu 14.04. It works up to a point, but the library items are listed in inverse (descending) order.
Yep, this is a known non-feature caused by inserting containers on top of the treeview IIRC
OK. The reason I tried this was my abject failure in finding any other CP that works on linux. foobar under wine comes closest but has a minor sorting problem as well. UPnP seems to be just too hard to get to work for a normal user. I give in. But thanks for responding so quickly!
Sorry, this is on my "needs fixing sometimes" list, but hasn't been too annoying so far. I agree UPnP on Linux is a wasteland client-wise. What's you're use-case?
I use a squeezebox a lot. However, the hardware won't last for ever and I want an alternative for my flac library. After much research, including rygel (where I think we have 'met' before) I have found a really excellent server in minimserver. It's very flexible and is particularly suited for classical music with non-standard tags. I have a couple of renderers, one of which will do gapless play if supported, which I need. I want to use my ageing laptop as my control point, running xubuntu 14.04. So I need a CP. foobar2000 under wine comes closest so far, but it also gets the sort order wrong (minimserver allows one to specify this quite tightly, but foobar over-rides the order). I've tried Kinsky (very flaky), XBMC (a work in progress but I think too heavyweight and possibly won't run), an android emulator (ditto), leia, and your control point.

This also seems to make browsing somewhat faster

This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Once that release is available, you may want to check for a software upgrade provided by your Linux distribution.
