How to browse directories on Synology NAS with DLNA?

GET http://192.168.1.5:50001/desc/device.xml returns the following data:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

            </service>
        </serviceList>
    </device>
</root>

and when I try to do the following request:

curl --location 'http://192.168.1.5:50001/ContentDirectory/control' \
--header 'SOAPAction: urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:ContentDirectory:1#Browse' \
--header 'Content-Type: text/xml; charset="utf-8"' \
--data '<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" s:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
    <s:Body>
        <u:Browse xmlns:u="urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:ContentDirectory:1">
            <ObjectID>0</ObjectID>
            <BrowseFlag>BrowseDirectChildren</BrowseFlag>
            <Filter>*</Filter>
            <StartingIndex>0</StartingIndex>
            <RequestedCount>1000</RequestedCount>
            <SortCriteria></SortCriteria>
        </u:Browse>
    </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

I get an error code -111: Invalid Action. What is wrong here? I tried to remove #Browse from the action as well as to send only #Browse - it doesn't help.

Based on the server reply, Synology uses Linux/2.6.32.12, UPnP/1.0, Portable SDK for UPnP devices/1.6.18.

Solution

  • The problem was with missing quotes in SOAPACtion.

    I replaced --header 'SOAPAction: urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:ContentDirectory:1#Browse' with --header 'SOAPAction: "urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:ContentDirectory:1#Browse"' and it started to work as expected.
