They sound like they'll nicely augment existing functionality in PR1.2.
I hope over time it'll be easy enough to add more plugins to the back-end from upstream.
I know Nokia will no longer help to add this extra functionality.
But hopefully there's enough interested folk out there in the F/OSS community to do so.
Then we just need to tie them into the existing native UI &/or your apps.

i guess you can try to give the n9 a static ip and do some port forwarding if upnp isn't an option or doesn't work for you.

Hi guys, has anyone had any luck with streaming in Windows Vista? I can't see N9 in WMP and in Network folder I can see "Media on n9" but when I double click it, it only opens the properties window..

I can get music and photos, but no videos folder shows.
Tested on Seagate FAT+ media player, and an android player.
Same on the Nokia N900 and N800 as client, but worse: they will play music, but the "Pictures" subfolders are all empty.
I have videos showing up in the video player on N9, so the tracker is finding them, and all DNLA types enabled. Any ideas?

You do not need a router's UPnP support to use UPnP enabled media devices in your network.

UPnP is a standardization group covering a vast amount of topics, not only media sharing.

Oh - mp4/mkv whatever. The N9 is identifying them as videos. Even if the client does not have the codec, it should see them.

If you want to change that, drop to the shell, edit /home/user/.config/rygel.conf and change strict-sharing to false.
