Version History

1.0.0 Initial Release

Including the feature in your application

This API can be installed from source or from NPM. Installation from NPM is done through the following:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-upnp

Installation from source is the same but instead of the id ("cordova-plugin-upnp"), use the file system path to the source plugin folder.

Note that it is also required that you give your app the disabled websecurity feature. This is as the extension needs to talk to any and all uPnP devices on your WiFi network. The websecurity feature is a bit black and white in this respect, all or nothing...

    <preference name="websecurity" value="false" />

The Extension API

The uPnP Extension provides the following API:

    var result = community.upnp.discover(timeout [optional], devtype [optional]);
    
    /*
    Result is a javascript object with the following properties
 
    success,       // [Bool]  - Did it work?
    timeout,     // [Int]  - Timeout used
    devtype,   // [String] - Device Type searched for
    devcount,   // [Int]  - Number of devices found
    device // [Array]  - An array of device objects
        url // [String] - Announce URL from attached device
        xml // [String] - XML documents returned from attached device
    */

The parameters to discover are as follows...

timeout : How long to wait for a reply in ms (default - 1000) devtype : Device type to search for (default - upnp:rootdevice). This is the ST field of the M-SEARCH query.
