Summary0019652: UPnP browsing: manual edit of server IP address is numeric only (doesn't support domains)
DescriptionIn MMA 1.x When you try to manually enter MM UPnP server you could enter an IP address or the associated domain eg http://192.168.0.1:11111/DeviceDescription.xml and http://mymmserver.org:11111/DeviceDescription.xml, but in MMA 2.0, the field is listed as 'Server IP address' and editing it only allows for entry of numeric data (i.e. only a numeric keypad appears rather than a keyboard).

NOTE: Entering URL not just IP address is essential for users that use DDNS and Port forward on Routers in order to make MM server available over Internet.
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build

Note: this isn't critical because the user can edit the URL field directly, but already some users didn't realize this.

Recommended changes to fix this:
1) change:
Server IP address
--->
Server IP address / Domain

2) Change the numeric keypad to a regular keypad for this field

As commented by Peke, the issue is more severe than originally described since there's also a functional problem:
3) Contrary to what I wrote in the comment above, editing the URL field in the 'Add media server' dialog doesn't work if the user tries to edit the domain in the URL field--the changes aren't committed upon clicking 'Save' so the workaround doesn't actually work. This fails both when 'Save'ing a new media server or 'Edit'ing an existing saved entry.
