UPNP

A simple UPNP server in C# for .net/mono.

A while back I needed a UPNP/DLNA server that could run on a linux media server and talk to a PS3. I created this app in part by looking at the Java PS3MediaServer and a lot of network protocol reverse engineering, as well as looking at the DLNA spec. I know it has some problems talking to other clients, but I never cared enough to fix it.

It relies on lighttpd to do the actual file serving as I had some issues getting the old mono runtime to do this with out stuttering. This app then is responsible for the notification over UDP of the servers presence, and of handling the soap queries for listings, metadata, etc. The lighttpd server was then responsible for the efficient distribution of the video content.

It worked quite nicely, but I stopped using the PS3 as a media player and switched to a PLEX server talking to a Roku, so this has sat for a while unused. With a bit of work I'm sure it could be made more generally useful.
