![]() ![]() You are wrong in guessing that they are the only solutions: there's also MediaMonkey, which actually seems to me the best solution among the three. I agree with you that WMP and XBMC are far too heavy to be loaded just to act as a renderer. ![]() You are right: VLC lack of a UPNP DLNA renderer function is really a pity, even more if you consider that VLC has already the ability to access a DLNA server (so, adding the renderer feature would be an obvious completion). VLC has everything that I need except UPnP renderer support. But since if I want video to work this way, I am stuck with WMP or XBMC, none of which I like. Today I use UPnP to control a network connected Radio, similar to WMP function "Play to", but controlled from my android device. Is it only me that see the point in such a feature? Since it is basically only XBMC that has this features today, adding it to VLC could make VLC have an advantage over other similar software. I can even get rid of software like XBMC, because the interface is now in my smartphone or tablet.Ĭould it be a feature in coming versions of VLC? Easy to use, and no need to use the keyboard what so ever. Since VLC is a great software for playing movies and media, already has the ability to browse content of a UPnP server, wouldn´t it be great if VLC could act as a UPnP renderer, remotely controlled by a UPnP control point like BubbleUPnP on an Androide device? That way, it would be possible to bring up BubbleUPnP, browse my UPnP server on my NAS, pick a movie and select VLC on my HTPC as the renderer. Most new smart TVs has the feature of a UPnP renderer, but when it comes to desktop renderers the only once available that I know of are XBMC and WMP. Unfortunately, the range of UPnP renderers are very limited. Also there are a whole bunch of UPnP control points out there, like great apps such as BubbleUPnP, PlugPlayer and so on. Today, there are quite a few UPnP servers out there, and a whole bunch of devices bought today act as a UPnP server, for example a NAS or even windows 7. As far as I know, VLC can act as a UPnP client in the way of pulling media content of a UPnP media server by browsing within the VLC interface. ![]()
