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. - -References -========== - - * http://www.dlna.org - * http://www.upnp.org - * http://maemo.org/intro/platform - * http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Maemo_roadmap/Harmattan - * http://www.gupnp.org - * http://www.vala-project.org - * http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_server - * http://www.upnp.org/specs/av/UPnP-av-MediaServer-v2-Device-20060531.pdf - * http://www.gnome.org/projects/tracker - * http://live.gnome.org/DVBDaemon - * http://www.zdf.de - * http://live.gnome.org/Rygel/MediaServer2Spec - * http://www.mpris.org/2.0/spec/ - -- cgit v1.2.1
