Coherence: a DLNA/UPnP framework

So my talk would be about adding UPnP functionality to Rhythmbox - what does this mean, what Rhythmbox can do more after that. What we learned from the interaction with a before "isolated" application.

And what's needed for other digital media related Linux software to take part as a server and/or a client in the UPnP world.

UPnP A/V, and DLNA especially, is a set of specifications to define interoperability between digital media sharing devices, like MediaServers and MediaRenderers/-Players.

Coherence is used (embedded) in Elisa [elisa.fluendo.com] and since a few months in Rhythmbox [www.rhythmbox.org] too. On itself it can act as a standalone MediaServer or a GStreamer based MediaRenderer.

I've finished these days the next plugin for Rhythmbox, let it now act as an UPnP MediaRenderer too, controlled by an UPnP ControlPoint, e.g a Nokia N800 or a N95.
