Platinum UPnP SDK ================= This toolkit consists of 2 modules: * Neptune : a C++ Runtime Library * Platinum: a modular UPnP Framework [Platinum uses Neptune] Unless you intend to use Neptune independently from Platinum, it is recommended that you build binaries directly from the "Build" tree of Platinum. All the dependent binaries will be rebuilt automatically (including Neptune). --------------------------------------------- BUILDING SDK & SAMPLE APPLICATIONS * Windows: Open the Visual Studio 2005 solution located @ Platinum\Build\Targets\x86-microsoft-win32-vs2005\Platinum.sln Open the Visual Studio 2008 solution located @ Platinum\Build\Targets\x86-microsoft-win32-vs2008\Platinum.sln * XBox: Open the Visual Studio .NET 2003 solution located @ Platinum\Build\Targets\x86-microsoft-xbox-vs2003\Platinum.sln * MacOSX: Open the XCode project file located @ Platinum/Build/Targets/universal-apple-macosx/PlatinumApps.xcodeproj To include Platinum to your XCode projects, simply add the project file located @ Platinum/Build/Targets/universal-apple-macosx/Platinum.xcodeproj. * Linux, Cygwin, MacOSX Open a shell, go to the Platinum root directory and type 'scons' (http://scons.org). The output of the scons build will be found under Platinum/Build/Targets/{TARGET}/{Debug|Release}. Additionally, the output is copied under Platinum/Targets/{TARGET}/{Debug|Release} for convenience. --------------------------------------------- RUNNING SAMPLE APPLICATIONS * FileMediaServerTest --------------------- This is an example of a UPnP MediaServer. Given a path, it allows a UPnP ControlPoint to browse the content of the directory and its sub-directories. Additionally, files can be streamed (Note that only files with known mimetypes are advertised). usage: FileMediaServerTest [-f ] -f : optional upnp server friendly name : local path to serve Once started, type 'q' to quit. * MediaRendererTest ------------------- This is an example shell of a UPnP MediaRenderer. It is to be contolled by a UPnP ControlPoint. This is just a SHELL, this won't play anything yet. You need to hook up the playback functionality yourself. usage: MediaRendererTest [-f ] -f : optional upnp server friendly name Once started, type 'q' to quit. * MediaCrawler -------------- This is a combo UPnP MediaServer + ControlPoint. It browses content from other MediaServers it finds on the network and present them under one single aggregated view. This is useful for some devices that need to select one single MediaServer at boot time (i.e. Roku). Once started, type 'q' to quit. * MicroMediaController ---------------------- This is a ControlPoint (synchronous) that lets you browse any MediaServer using a shell-like interface. Once started, a command prompt lets you enter commands such as: quit - shutdown exit - same as quit setms - select a media server to become the active media server getms - print the friendly name of the active media server ls - list the contents of the current directory on the active media server cd - traverse down one level in the content tree on the active media server cd .. - traverse up one level in the content tree on the active media server pwd - print the path from the root to your current position in the content tree on the active media server Experimental MediaRenderer commands (not yet full implemented): setmr - select a media renderer to become the active media renderer getmr - print the friendly name of the active media renderer open - set the uri on the active media renderer play - play the active uri on the active media renderer stop - stop the active uri on the active media renderer * MediaConnect -------------- This is a derived implementation of the FileMediaServerTest with the only difference that it makes it visible to a XBox 360.
