Coherence - DLNA/UPnP framework for the digital living
Project description
Coherence is a framework written in Python, providing a variety of UPnP MediaServer and UPnP MediaRenderer implementations for instant use.
It includes an UPnP ControlPoint, which is accessible via D-Bus too.
Furthermore it enables your application to participate in digital living networks, at the moment primarily the DLNA/UPnP universe. Its objective and demand is to relieve your application from all the membership/the UPnP related tasks as much as possible.
New in this 0.6.6 - the Red-Nosed Reindeer - release
