-What is Rygel?
-=============
-
-Rygel is a home media solution that allows you to easily share audio, video and
-pictures, and control of media player on your home network. In technical terms
-it is both a UPnP AV MediaServer and MediaRenderer implemented through a plug-in
-mechanism. Interoperability with other devices in the market is achieved by
-conformance to very strict requirements of DLNA and on the fly conversion of
-media to format that client devices are capable of handling.
-
-Important facts and features
-============================
-
- * Specifically designed for GNOME (Mobile) and is therefore planned to be one
- of the key new features of GNOME 3.0 and Maemo platform in the Harmattan
- release.
- * Based on GUPnP.
- * Written entirely in Vala language.
- * APIs to ease the implementation of AV devices.
- * Export of on-disk media:
- * Tracker plugin.
- * MediaExport plugin: Recursively exports folders and files specified in the user configuration. This plugin supports all types of URIs that gio/gvfs and gstreamer can handle.
- * Export of online media from 2nd German TV station.
- * Export of media hierarchies provided by external applications through
- implementation of D-Bus MediaServer spec. Applications that utilize
- this feature are:
- * DVB Daemon
- * Rhythmbox
- * Export of GStreamer pipelines as media items on the network, specified
- through gst-launch syntax in the user configuration.
- * Audio and Video Transcoding: source format could be anything GStreamer's
- decodebin2 can handle but output formats are currently limited to: mp3, PCM
- and MPEG TS. Fortunately the transcoding framework is flexible enough to
- easily add more transcoding targets.
- * Standalone MediaRenderer plugin based on GStreamer playbin element.
- * Export of media players that implement MPRIS2 D-Bus interface, as
- MediaRenderer devices. Known implementing applications are:
- * Rhythmbox
- * VLC
-
-Requirements
-============
-
- * Build-time:
- * Core:
- * gupnp
- * gupnp-av
- * gstreamer
- * gio (part of glib source package)
- * libgee
- * libsoup
- * libmediaart
- * vala (not if building from release tarballs)
- * Preferences UI:
- * gtk+
- * MediaExport:
- * sqlite3
- * gupnp-dlna
- * Run-time:
- * Definitely needed:
- * gst-plugins-base
- * shared-mime-info
- * Might be needed (depending on your usage and media collection):
- * gst-plugins-good
- * gst-libav
- * gst-plugins-bad
- * gst-plugins-ugly
-
-To build without gstreamer, use:
- ```--with-media-engine=simple```
-This will also disable any plugins that use gstreamer.
