open UPnP media with command line in VLC for Linux

[liupengking1]

Hi,

I am usng VLC as a DLNA client and test different DLNA servers with different formatted media. For efficiency, I need to start streaming with media in the playlist automatically, it' better to use a script to run this.

Could anyone help me to open UPnP media with command line?

Thanks.

VLC's gui on my fedora18 gets me nothing, finds nothing, I know server end and local network is OK for the same version of VLC on Win finds the server.
would you know if VLC needs to be helped somehow in order to get upnp work?

Yes. UPnP support is VLC has always been flaky. A lot of extra development work would be required for proper UPnP in VLC.
