• or a Deferred

Note

if this MediaServer implements containers that can share their content, like ‘all tracks’, ‘album’ and ‘album_of_artist’ (they all have the same track item as content), then the id may be passed by the CDS like this:

‘id@container’ or ‘id@container@container@container…’

therefore a

if isinstance(id, basestring):
    id = id.split('@',1)
    id = id[0]

may be appropriate as the first thing to do when entering this method.

upnp_init()

This method gets called after the device is fired, here all initializations of service related state variables should happen, as the services aren’t available before that point.

parse_data(root)

queue_update(error_or_failure)
