GMediaRender is a UPnP media renderer for POSIX-compliant systems, such as GNU/Linux or UNIX. It implements the server component that provides UPnP controllers a means to render media content (audio, video and images) from a UPnP media server.

MediaServer / AV

UPnP A/V is a three-tier system, consisting of Servers, Renderers and Controllers. With an A/V UPnP controller you can instruct a UPnP A/V Renderer (such as GMediaRender) to play multimedia content (pictures, music tracks, radio broadcasts, movies, ..) available from a UPnP A/V Server.

UPnP A/V components are available both as stand-alone consumer electronics devices, as well as are software-only implementations. Listed below are some software implementations which run on GNU/Linux.

Requirements:
GNU C Compiler (gcc), 2.95 or later.
Linux SDK for UPnP Devices (libupnp), 1.2.1 or later
GStreamer

What's New in This Release:
Compilation with libupnp versions 0.3.0 or later was fixed.
