GMediaRender is a media renderer software that supports UPnP on systems compliant with POSIX, which includes GNU/Linux and UNIX.
UPnP A/V is a three-tier system composed of servers, renderers and controllers. Using an A/V UPnP controller, UPnP A/V renderers (like GMediaRender) can be instructed to play multimedia content (such as music tracks, pictures and movies) that are available from a UPnP A/V server. These types of components are also available in the form of consumer electronics devices or as software-only implementations.
There are software implementations available that run on GNU/Linux, including GMediaRender. To run GMediaRender, the requirements include the GNU C Compiler (gcc), 2.95 or later, the Linux SDK for UPnP Devices (libupnp), 1.2.1 or later, and GStreamer.
The latest version of GMediaRender utilizes gstreamer 0.10 and libupnp 1.6.0 with largefile support. It also includes proper encoding of AVTransport LastChange event, as well as minor bug fixes.
In summary, GMediaRender is an excellent UPnP media renderer for GNU/Linux or UNIX. With its ability to render multimedia, it is an essential component of UPnP A/V systems, making it an ideal choice for consumers who want to enjoy high-quality media content.
