Hi guys, We had a much improved (server and client and control)
feature list, but the guys behind the Brisa development were not
able to meet the quality in the time needed : / so we did a second
Upnp Plugin to support the users with the basics (streams of video
audio and photos) I think basically is what you get different is
that you can stream easily photos from one server while listening
to music from other etc, and it seems that it's working better in
some servers than the default media player (this is odd) because of
the mplayer backend( that is also crap in other media servers
depending on your encondings)
As first release, of course it's far from perfect...
yeah, Jukka with all the rights, being honest the UPNP idea
sounds good, but the implementation across platforms / softwares is
a mess. We suffer a lot, but as a lot of users were used to that we
try at least to come up with something usable. If we can improve
it.. we will try.. but the whole concept is kind of flawed since
the beginnig : / protocol..etc : /

What UPnP features it adds (that OS2008 doesn't have already)?

dunno, i'll report back. i've never been really impressed with the UPnP features of Maemo, honestly.

Thanks @Handful, that sounds impressive. I've been following UPnP since the beginning, and have become a bit skeptical..
