XBMC has (since July 2006) a built-in UPnP-client (a so called "UPnP AV MediaServer ControlPoint" device) which can auto-detect any UPnP-server (a so called "UPnP AV MediaServer" device) on your local-network as long as that UPnP-server is not behind a firewall/router or you have opened the ports needed for UPnP in your firewall/router. XBMC also have a built-in UPnP-server (since the 24th of January 2007) which enables you to share your video/picture/audio files to all XBMC boxes on your local-network. XBMC's built-in UPnP-server can also stream those same video/picture/audio files to other UPnP-clients ("UPnP AV MediaServer ControlPoint" devices) but those UPnP-clients that do not support broadcast discovery of UPnP-servers might still be able to stream from XBMC's UPnP-server if they support manual entering of the IP-address that your XBMC box is using).
UPnP may refer to:
- UPnP/Media source - A type of media source that can be added in XBMC to receive videos from a UPnP server
- UPnP/Server - XBMC's UPnP server abilities
- UPnP/Client - XBMC as an UPnP/DLNA client ("play to" target)
- HOW-TO:Share libraries using UPnP - How to share XBMC from one device (as a server) to another XBMC device (as a media source).
- UPnP/Developer notes - Notes for developers.
