Hi, in my quest to support and test upnp servers: - fuppes: is the best open source solution so far - ushare: have some problems, I've sent them one patch, but there are still remaining problems. - gmediaserver: have some problems, I've sent them one patch, but there are still remaining problems. - mythtv: I still need to check it out in depth, but users report they get "object not found" in Media Streamer, and Canola doesn't show them. - libupnp (pupnp.sf.net, used by ushare, gmediaserver, mythtv): have some problems with chunked HTTP, maybe few other problems we still don't known. so far, canola and media streamer works with: - fuppes - twonkyvision - tversity (win, mac) - windows upnp server, same as used by xbox360 - nokia's mobile phones (canola yet to release a new version to support this) - EyeConnect (canola yet to release a new version to support this) -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri -------------------------------------- Jabber: barbieri at gmail.com MSN: barbieri at gmail.com ICQ#: 17249123 Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (81) 9927 0010 Phone: +1 (347) 624 6296; 08122692 at sip.stanaphone.com GPG: 0xB640E1A2 @ wwwkeys.pgp.net
