How does VLC work as a UPNP client??

[VLC_MAC_UPNP]

Hello,

I am searching the web as well as this forum but without success yet. My crucial question is:

How can I use the VLC (currently 0.8.6d Janus (Intel)) as a UPNP client on my Mac Mini? Here and there I find a quote that says "VLC works only as UPNP client, not as a server, sorry ..." but for me that would be great ... No need for a server. I am using Twonky and it is fine with the hardware UPNP clients I have and also the xbox 360. But where can I find a UPNP client for my Mac in the living room?

Please help

Yours thankfully

Frank
