Debugging DLNA via Wireshark

First you should set filter:

(ip.src == 192.168.1.40 &&  ip.dst == 192.168.1.43) || (ip.src == 192.168.1.43 && ip.dst == 192.168.1.40) 

Here in example my DMC and wireshark are on IP:192.168.1.40 and server is on IP:192.168.1.43.

this will show you the sent packets just between your devices.


Then you will see some TCP streams like this:


From these packets find out the ports at server side:


Here are the port numbers of my server; 9050 and 9000. Add these ports to the list of HTTP ports permanently via "Edit→Preferences→Protocols→HTTP→TCP Ports"

Now you can see the get requests for xml files:

To see the xml file you can right click then select "follow tcp stream".
