XBMC can use UPnP as a media sources from any device that has a UPnP server. UPnP media servers are available for most operating systems and many hardware platforms. XBMC itself can be a UPnP server.
Currently, due to technical limitations (dynamic file paths) UPnP file sources can't be scanned into the library. However, as many UPnP servers can also provide metadata as well as the files themselves, this may not be an issue.

UPnP file sources can be used in videos, music, and pictures. Configuring UPnP file sources in XBMC is as easy as setting up any other type of file source, such as SMB or NFS.
