paraphrasing from christian schaller's blog:
for those who don’t know yet
rygel is an open source implementation of
dlna, a standard for ensuring interoperability between the different media devices on your home lan. rygel was started some years ago by
zeeshan ali and is being used in
gnome and
meego among others. we, at
collabora, have been working on rygel for some time now and thus i did a talk about it at the recent meego summit in san fransisco. it is an interesting talk about the current state of rygel and how a lot of the rygel features are implemented using
gstreamer. so if you are interested in the future of interoperable devices check out the talk at
the meego website. seek about 3.5 minute into the talk as they haven’t edited the videos it seems to you get a lot of uninteresting preparation before the talk starts."
