UPnP AV support

[fkuehne]

That's correct. VLC can only act as a UPnP-client at the moment (but on all platforms supported by the Cyberlink UPnP library; that's not MacOS only). The addition of a UPnP-server feature should be technically possible, but isn't scheduled at the moment. Thus, a 3rd party developer would need to implement this. In case of technical questions, we will probably willing to answer them

Now that XBMC (XboxMediaCenter, the free and open source multimedia-player for the Xbox game-console) has a built-in UPnP AV MediaServer ControlPoint (a.k.a. UPnP-client) I want a built-in UPnP AV MediaServer (a.k.a. UPnP-server) inside VLC more than ever!

With the help of the "Platinum UPnP C++ SDK" or the "CyberLink for C++ development package" could you please add a UPnP AV MediaServer (a.k.a. UPnP-server) to VLC?

I know that some people is implementing this: some server mode for UPnP AV in VLC.

Please, wait until september'06.

Is there UPnP server support in a snapshot?

[jockyw2001]

Sorry for bogging, but are there any UPnP server functionalities planned?

I am also interested in an UPnP AV Streaming Server feature, and I'd like to work on an implementation (if there is none).

Before I start, I'd like to know where a UPnP AV Server should be placed. Is it another "vod server", and therefore related to the RTSP server implementation? Or should a new VLM media type be included (vod, broadcast, upnp)?

Thanks for answers,

Rasfunk

yes, upnp is required! please also try to meet dlna specification, perhaps with setting presets selectable/editable by the user?!

thanks for the good work and keep working!

A Google Summer of Code was done about an upnp server and client for VLC. We hope this work to be merged soon. In the beest case, it will be for the 1.0 ...
