XBMC's UPnP client (aka UPnP renderer) allows XBMC to instantly playback and control videos and music sent to it from a UPnP server/control point. This is similar to the AirPlay protocol, but more flexible and open. Several applications exist for nearly all major OSes that can send XBMC media through UPnP. This is different from using UPnP as a media source, where XBMC browses a UPnP server, rather than being controlled by one.
