	UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is a set of royalty-free computer network protocols from the [http://www.upnp.org UPnP Forum]. UPnP is built upon open, internet-based communication standards such as SSDP, HTTP, XML, SOAP, etc. (which means that any developer/programmer can make a device or software for any operating-system/platform in any program-language by following the UPnP standards and it should automaticly be compatible with all other UPnP devices). UPnP achieves this by defining and publishing UPnP device control protocols (also called profiles). One profile called UPnP Gateway is what routers implements to let computers automatically discover them or even control them by opening/closing ports on a firewall for example. Another profile which is not to be confused with the previous one is UPnP AV (for audio/video) which defines a set of functionalities to share/control and render content on a local-network. There are typically three types of devices in UPnP AV (Audio/Video); a MediaServer which is a 'slave' device which sole purpose is to share content, a MediaRenderer which is a 'slave' device that can render content, and a UPnP MediaServer ControlPoint which is the 'master' that can detect/find UPnP MediaServers and control them (browse). UPnP MediaServers ControlPoint is not an actual UPnP device as it cannot be detected by other UPnP devices. A UPnP MediaRenderer ControlPoint is the 'master' that can detect/find and control UPnP MediaRenderers. A DMP (Digital Media Player) like Kodi typically only implements a UPnP MediaServer ControlPoint.

	If you are a C/C++ programmer and like to make a UPnP MediaServer (or if you wish to add new UPnP features to XBMC) then we recommend you checkout the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/platinum Platinum UPnP SDK], available on SourceForge.net. Platinum UPnP SDK is a free and open source software development kit that lets you easily create a UPnP MediaServer, MediaRenderer or Contol Point, it also happens to be that it is from this SDK that ~~XBMC~~ got its UPnP client and server code from, (XBMC's UPnP MediaServer Control Point and MediaServer code was also firstly implemented into ~~XBMC~~ by the author of the Platinum UPnP SDK, [http://www.plutinosoft.com/blog/category/platinum/ Sylvain a.k.a. c0diq]). You should also visit the official [http://www.upnp.org UPnP™ Forum] and read the published white-papers on UPnP.

	If you are a C/C++ programmer and like to make a UPnP MediaServer (or if you wish to add new UPnP features to XBMC) then we recommend you checkout the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/platinum Platinum UPnP SDK], available on SourceForge.net. Platinum UPnP SDK is a free and open source software development kit that lets you easily create a UPnP MediaServer, MediaRenderer or Contol Point, it also happens to be that it is from this SDK that ~~XBMC~~ got its UPnP client and server code from, (XBMC's UPnP MediaServer Control Point and MediaServer code was also firstly implemented into ~~XBMC~~ by the author of the Platinum UPnP SDK, [http://www.plutinosoft.com/blog/category/platinum/ Sylvain a.k.a. c0diq]). You should also visit the official [http://www.upnp.org UPnP™ Forum] and read the published white-papers on UPnP. Other good links for developers can be found at the bottom of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upnp UPnP article on Wikipedia], an article which also will give you a good overview about what UPnP is about.

	UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is a set of royalty-free computer network protocols from the [http://www.upnp.org UPnP Forum]. UPnP is built upon open, internet-based communication standards such as SSDP, HTTP, XML, SOAP, etc. (which means that any developer/programmer can make a device or software for any operating-system/platform in any program-language by following the UPnP standards and it should automaticly be compatible with all other UPnP devices). UPnP achieves this by defining and publishing UPnP device control protocols (also called profiles). One profile called UPnP Gateway is what routers implements to let computers automatically discover them or even control them by opening/closing ports on a firewall for example. Another profile which is not to be confused with the previous one is UPnP AV (for audio/video) which defines a set of functionalities to share/control and render content on a local-network. There are typically three types of devices in UPnP AV (Audio/Video); a MediaServer which is a 'slave' device which sole purpose is to share content, a MediaRenderer which is a 'slave' device that can render content, and a UPnP MediaServer ControlPoint which is the 'master' that can detect/find UPnP MediaServers and control them (browse). UPnP MediaServers ControlPoint is not an actual UPnP device as it cannot be detected by other UPnP devices. A UPnP MediaRenderer ControlPoint is the 'master' that can detect/find and control UPnP MediaRenderers.
