| == DLNA compliance in XBMC ==
| |
| DLNA certificate guidelines are governed by the [http://www.dlna.org Digital Living Network Alliance]. Since September 2007 XBMC's built-in UPnP-server and UPnP-client are compatible with DLNA CERTIFIED™ devices.
| |
|
| |
| There are two classes of DLNA CERTIFIED™ devices:
| |
| * Digital Media Servers (DMS) record and/or store media content, then share it on the network. (Sharing is sometimes limited by content protection rules.) Some examples of DMS products are advanced set-top boxes, digital video recorders, PCs/laptops, music servers with hard disk drives, broadcast tuners, video and imaging capture devices such as cameras and camcorders, and multimedia mobile phones.
| |
| * Digital Media Players (DMP) can find and play/display the content that is shared by DMS devices. Some examples of DMP products are digital TV monitors, stereo systems, home theaters, printers, personal digital assistants, multimedia mobile phones, wireless monitors and game consoles.
| |
| The DLNA guidelines are very flexible. Some devices offer rich user interfaces and some do not. With some server devices you can also manage your media collection or manage other devices on the network. Some devices can be both a player and server device, e.g. a computer running XBMC can play files from another server and share the computer's own local files to other players.
