Creating a DLNA server/service in VB.NET [closed]

问题:

I would like to create a DLNA server in VB.NET. Since a lot of multimedia devices start supporting DLNA, i would like to see what is possible. Not only streaming video/audio and pictures but see what else can be done.

Anybody any starting points? protocol info, some basic code to get started?

DLNA is based on UPnP so i geuss that is the direction i have to start looking.

回答1:

UPnP MediaServer using Intels SDK for Windows Home Server and Xbox 360 is written in C# and does not have all the functionallity required but it is a start.

I'd like to see an open source implementation of DLNA in .NET

回答2:

You have to be a member of the DLNA community or pay $500 to be able to get a full specification of the protocol according to their homepage.

Intel has a tool for generating source code which is DLNA compliant at their hompepage. That could be a good start for just playing around and trying your ideas without having to buy the specification.

This is a esy to understand UPnP AV Control Point VB.Net sample

回答4:

You can get a lot of information about the various UPNP protocols, including DLNA from the UPNP website here. This includes a zip file will all the service definitions and a list of existing SDKs from which you can start.

The Mono Project has a pretty good open source implementation of the UPnP protocol. https://github.com/mono/mono-upnp
