Rygel 0.2

news · January 21, 2009

This is the release announcement of Rygel 0.2.

The major change after last release (as gupnp-media-server) is the introduction

of a simple yet powerful plugin-based architecture/api: Everyone plugin:

- is loaded into a separate MediaServer instance.

- can implement any kind and number of resources (currently only services).

- can export an icon file.

- inherit it's ContentDirectory implementation from a base class that does most

of the UPnP-related work. More improvements on this planned for next release.

- use an intuitive API to easily export media from URIs and live GStreamer

source elements over HTTP.

Other changes:

- Relicense under LGPL to allow proprietary plugins and ease of moving code

from/to gupnp libraries.

- DVB Daemon integration though a plugin. Now you can watch live channels from

your PC on your PS3 for example.

- Test plugin that exports one audio and video item, streaming contents from

GStreamer's audiotestsrc and videotestsrc elements respectively.

- Better interoperability with Sony playstation 3.

- Announce unavailability to UPnP world on exit.

- Loads of other improvements.
