Portable device that implements custom MTP Services meets requirements defined in the MTP Devices Services Extension Specification

 

Target Feature	Device.Portable.Core
Applies to	Windows 7 Client x86, x64 Windows 8 Client x86, x64, ARM (Windows RT) Windows 8.1 Client x86, x64, ARM (Windows RT 8.1)

Description

The MTP Device Services Extension to the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) helps an MTP Initiator, in this case Windows, find and access certain types of content stored on the device.  Extension mechanisms have been defined that provide greater flexibility for applications that deal with specific content types defined by the device. These mechanisms provide greater extensibility than the existing data code mechanisms currently defined by the Media Transfer Protocol Specification, Revision 1.0.If the portable device supports a custom device service the implementation must have a valid ServiceInfo dataset, a valid ServiceCapabilities dataset, and a valid ServicePropertiesDesc dataset as defined in the MTP Device Services Extension Specification. All mandatory properties defined in the specification must be supported in the custom service.The following table is a list of operations that are required when implementing MTP Services:

 

Operation	MTP Datacode	Description
GetServiceIDs	0x9301	This operation returns an array of ServiceIDs.
GetServiceInfo	0x9302	This operation returns the ServiceInfo dataset for a service.
GetServiceCapabilities	0x9303	All object format and method format information is reported by using the GetServiceCapabilities operation.
GetServicePropDesc	0x9304	This operation returns theServicePropertyDesc dataset for a service.
GetServicePropList	0x9305	This operation is similar to GetObjectPropList in the MTP specification, Revision 1.0. GetServicePropList reads properties from a service.
SetServicePropList	0x9306	This operation sets a ServiceProperty by using the ServicePropList dataset. It enables the writing of property values to a service.
UpdateObjectPropList	0x9307	This operation sets the property list for a particular object that will be updated with a new binary object. This operation can be used to replace the binary data of an existing object.
DeleteObjectPropList	0x9308	This operation removes the properties that are specified in the DeleteObjectPropList dataset from the specified object or objects.
DeleteServicePropList	0x9309	This operation removes the properties that are specified in the DeleteServicePropList dataset from the specified service.

 If scenarios that can be implemented using capabilities defined in the MTP specification are not implemented using the operations, device properties, etc. defined in the MTP 1.0 specification (or later) then the device must define these scenarios in terms of device services and must support these services according to the requirements defined in the MTP Device Services Extension Specification. For example, a media exchange service may be defined to manage media synchronization between the initiator and responder which replaces functionality supported by standard MTP 1.0 behavior.To expose a custom device service in Device Stage, a custom task must be authored and defined as part of the Device Stage authoring process. This is described in the Microsoft Device Experience Development Kit.Design Notes:

Portable devices that support defined MTP Services implement these services according to the requirements defined in the MTP Device Services for Windows Specification

 

Target Feature	Device.Portable.Core
Applies to	Windows 7 Client x86, x64 Windows 8 Client x86, x64, ARM (Windows RT) Windows 8.1 Client x86, x64, ARM (Windows RT 8.1)

Description

The MTP Device Services architecture enables Windows to locate and use various services and content types located on a device. By creating extensions to the WPD API and MTP protocol, Windows can locate, consume, and interact with useful content and services on the device.Supported Personal Information Management (PIM) Services:

Contact Service

Calendar Service

Notes Service

Tasks Service

Other Supported Services:

Status Service

Hints Service

Device Metadata Service

Ringtones Service

SMS Service

If the device supports one or more of the PIM services it must also support one of two synchronization services to actually synchronize the data. Windows supports the following in-box:

Enumeration Sync

Anchor Sync

It is up to the manufacturer to choose the services that is best suited for the device. Vendors who choose to support custom Device Stage metadata packages, should ensure that the appropriate tasks or device properties are exposed correctly within the package.For services to be accessible by a service aware initiator the following service related operations must also be supported by the device:

 

Operation	MTP Datacode	Description
GetServiceIDs	0x9301	This operation returns an array of ServiceIDs.
GetServiceInfo	0x9302	This operation returns the ServiceInfo dataset for a service.
GetServiceCapabilities	0x9303	All object format and method format information is reported by using the GetServiceCapabilities operation.
GetServicePropDesc	0x9304	This operation returns theServicePropertyDesc dataset for a service.
GetServicePropList	0x9305	This operation is similar to GetObjectPropList in the MTP specification, Revision 1.0. GetServicePropList reads properties from a service.
SetServicePropList	0x9306	This operation sets a ServiceProperty by using the ServicePropList dataset. It enables the writing of property values to a service.
UpdateObjectPropList	0x9307	This operation sets the property list for a particular object that will be updated with a new binary object. This operation can be used to replace the binary data of an existing object.

Portable Devices that support media content must meet basic interoperability requirements to successfully transfer content with an MTP aware media player application on Windows

 

Target Feature	Device.Portable.Core
Applies to	Windows 7 Client x86, x64 Windows 8 Client x86, x64, ARM (Windows RT) Windows 8.1 Client x86, x64, ARM (Windows RT 8.1) Windows Vista Client x86, x64

Description

An MTP based device must be able to transfer data to and from the PC using a Windows based application that supports MTP. Note that if the device replaces core MTP media handling functionality with a custom MTP Service then interoperability with Windows Media Player will not function as expected. Devices that implement a custom service must have functional parity with core MTP operations to support media transfer and synchronization with a WPD-based application. The following requirements must be met when interacting with Windows Media Player:Supports digital media transfers from device to computer - The device must support digital media transfers to computers through applications that enable such transfers, such as the Portable Device Shell Namespace Extension and Windows Media Player.Supports digital media transfers from computer to device - The device must support transfer of supported media formats from the computer to the device through Windows Media Player. The device must support transfer of all file formats from the computer to the device through the Windows® Namespace Extension.Supports metadata updates - The device must support updates to MTP metadata after the original track has been copied to the device. The metadata updates are performed using Windows Media Player.Supports cancellation of transfer and synchronization - The device must support cancellations of transfers and synchronizations mid-task without crashing or hanging of the device.Properly identifies file types - The device must not rely on the file name extension of a file to discover the file type. The device can use the MTP object format or can parse the file contents to determine the file type.Provide device object metadata - If a host sends an empty value for Album, Artist, or Title, the device must display meaningful text in place of the empty metadata and allow the user to find the content when searching on the associated field in the device UI. For example, a device might use Unknown Artist for the artist when it receives an empty value for artist metadata. If the device supports displaying genre metadata, then if a host sends an empty value for genre, the device must display meaningful text in place of the empty metadata and allow the user to find the content when searching on the associated field in the device UI.Playlist transfer - The device must support the transfer of playlists manually created by the user using Windows Media Player. When a manual playlist is transferred using Windows Media Player, both the playlist and the content the playlist references must reside on the device.To receive playlists from Windows Media Player, a device must support object references. If object references are supported, they must be supported on all media file formats. Support for object references is indicated by supporting the following commands:

GetObjectReferences (0x9810)

SetObjectReferences (0x9811)

The device must also support the AbstractAudioVideoPlaylist (0xBA05) format. A playlist is sent as a 0-byte object with a list of references to object handles for all objects contained in the playlist.

Portable Devices may support the optional ModelID property to uniquely identify logical device functions on a multi-function device

 

Target Feature	Device.Portable.Core
Applies to	Windows 7 Client x86, x64 Windows 8 Client x86, x64, ARM (Windows RT) Windows 8.1 Client x86, x64, ARM (Windows RT 8.1)

Description

Plug and Play includes support for a DevNode property called DEVPKEY_Device_ModelId. This key is used to store the ModelID value that some devices will store in a device-class-specific or manufacturer-specific manner on the device. The ModelID spans logical device functions on a multi-function device through an internal structure in Windows 7 called the Display Object that aggregates logical devices in a single "piece of plastic" representation.  The ModelID can be as specific or as generic as the manufacturer chooses. For example, ModelID may differ between product models, colors of an individual model, or even individual devices. To support ModelID the device property code 0xD302 along with required properties must be supported.Design Notes:

Tests are designed to validate optional functionality if the device supports it.Design Notes: For implementation details refer to Media Transfer Protocol Specification Revision 1.0, Appendix B - Object Properties available at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243143.

Additional Information

 

Business Justification	Object properties enable metadata that describes objects to be exchanged separately from the objects themselves. The primary benefit of this functionality is to permit the rapid enumeration of large storages (e.g. 8GB+), regardless of the file system.  For each format that the device supports, the device must support all mandatory MTP object properties for that format.

Portable devices that implement MTP Streams support required object stream operations

 

Target Feature	Device.Portable.Core
Applies to	Windows 8 Client x86, x64, ARM (Windows RT) Windows 8.1 Client x86, x64, ARM (Windows RT 8.1)

Description

In order to properly support MTP Stream functionality a device must support the following operations:

 

Operation	Status	Description
OpenObjectStream	R	This operation opens an object as a stream.
ReadObjectStream	R	This operation reads a portion of data from the previously opened object stream.
WriteObjectStream	R	This operation writes the portion of data to the previously opened object stream.
SeekObjectStream	R	This operation seeks forward reading or writing of the next data block in the stream.
CloseObjectStream	R	This operation closes the previously opened object stream and releases the allocated

Where:R = RequiredI = If Implemented (Optional)N/A = Not ApplicableDesign Notes:

For implementation details refer to Media Transfer Protocol Specification Revision 2.0, available at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243144.

Additional Information

 

Exceptions	These operations must be supported if the device supports MTP Streams. Support for Streams is not required for Windows Hardware Certification, however supporting this enhancement is strongly recommended.
Business Justification	This requirement is necessary in order to ensure that a portable device that supports MTP Stream functionality does so in a way that ensures compliance with Windows. MTP 2.0 is an industry standard specification that is being ratified by the USB organization and represents the standard way that this functionality should be supported.

Applies to	Windows 7 Client x86, x64 Windows 8 Client x86, x64, ARM (Windows RT) Windows 8.1 Client x86, x64, ARM (Windows RT 8.1)

Description

Windows Portable Device that support MTP over IP must comply with the Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA) PTP over Internet Protocol (PTP/IP) specification (CIPA-005/2005), which extends the PTP specification to use TCP/IP to perform PTP operations over wireless networks.  A MTP/IP device must support the following three technologies to ensure compatibility with the PC:1. UPnP Basic DeviceMTP/IP devices must support Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) discovery as a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP„¢) basic device. Refer to the MTP Network Association Extension definition for details.2. Picture Transfer Protocol over IPMTP/IP devices must comply with the Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA) PTP over Internet Protocol (PTP/IP) specification (CIPA-005/2005), which extends the PTP specification to use TCP/IP to perform PTP operations over wireless networks. 3. MTP Network Association ExtensionMTP/IP devices must comply with the Wi-Fi-provisioning extension to the MTP specification and the MTP Network Association extension to the MTP specification.Support for this MTP extension is indicated by including the following string in the MTPVendorExtensionDesc field of the MTP DeviceInfo dataset, returned as a response to the MTP GetDeviceInfo operation.

 

Dataset field	Datatype
MTPVendorExtensionDesc	"microsoft.com/WPDNA: 1.0"

 The device property defined by this extension supports Network Association configuration for devices that support Zero or Nominal Authentication. Secure Authentication is not supported by this extension; secure authentication can be implemented via a custom MTP Service if desired. Refer to the MTP Network Association Extension definition for details.Recommendations for Network Provisioning The MTP Wi-Fi Provisioning Extension extends the Windows Connect Now architecture to MTP devices. This extension defines a new MTP object format for WFC (Wireless Configuration File) objects. A WFC object contains the network settings that will allow the responder to join a wireless network. An initiator supporting the WCN architecture will be able to transfer WFC objects to the device. Each WFC object represents the settings for a single wireless network. The responder may receive multiple WFC objects over time. Each object will be named according to the SSID of the network.The following DataType must be included in the MTPVendorExtensionDesc field of the DeviceInfo dataset.

 

Dataset field	Datatype
MTPVendorExtensionDesc	"microsoft.com/WPDWCN: 1.0"

 Recommendations for Improved Performance over IPIn order to mitigate format enumeration performance issues, MTP/IP devices should also support the GetFormatCapabilities operation as defined in the MTP Device Services Extensions Specification. This operation improves the performance of querying a device for the supported object properties on formats that are associated with classic MTP storages (those formats that appear in the DeviceInfo dataset). GetFormatCapabilities is a bulk operation that duplicates the functionality of GetObjectPropsSupported, GetObjectPropDesc, and GetInterdependentPropDesc. Responders should implement this operation because it replaces multiple calls to the device with a single, more efficient call.Design Notes:

Refer to the PTP/IP Specification (CIPA-005/2005) "Picture Transfer Protocol over TCP/IP Networks".

Description

Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is an extension of the Picture Transfer Protocol (ISO 15740).  Both specifications include optional commands, operations, etc. but some of these are required for certification. There is a core set of operations and device properties that must be met by each device category in order to be compliant with Windows. Implementation details for MTP are defined in the Media Transfer Protocol Specification, Revision 1.0 or later and will be used as the reference for certification of all portable devices as part of the Windows Hardware Certification Program.Required OperationsThis core set of MTP operations and device properties that must be met by each portable device in order to be compliant with Windows.  Implementation details for each operation and device property are defined in the Media Transfer Protocol Specification, Revision 1.0 or later.
