Dlna renderer

[anders0077]

I have red some about this dlna-way to localy share your media and it seem good and works fine. But! I would like to do it the other way, I want to use my vu+ duo as a "client" ( I think its calld) I would like to send/stream music, video TO my vu+ from my ipad or android phone or my home NAS.
My tv is not dlna compatible, but there must be a way to do this

I have vu+ duo. Ver. 1.7.8

Or is it impossible to render/play TO this "miniDLNA" plugin?

Vu+ boxes can be DLNA client or DLNA server.
Into BH images look inside Blue Panel (2 x Blue button) and look at the end of menu: there are two or three items regarding DLNA system.

Tnx for answer. Can it be the one called djmount?
I have three upnp sections in my "2x blue menu"
Upnp client djmount
Server meditomb
Server minidlna.

DJMount is the client part of DLNA ... other twos are DLNA servers

Do you knon if I can send the media Im playing on my phone to this djmount plugin? Show on other device thing...

I have iMediaShare on my ipad and it doesnt find djmount as a "reciver". Allso an other app on my android phone, same thing there.

If you want to send medias to other devices you must use Mediatomb or MiniDLNA server. DJMount is CLIENT part into box.

Sorry, you didnt understand me.
I want my VU+ to be a dlna media renderer, not a server. I dont want to share my vus internal media.
I want to play my media from my nas to my vu via my phone/ipad.

Media Renderers are devices that will receive instructions to play media from another DLNA device such as a Media Controller.

Each component in a DLNA system is called an endpoint, or simply “box”. In most cases there are two boxes, the Media Server and Media Player. When you use a Media Controller to play media from a Media Server on a Media Player, there are three endpoints; this is often called the “three box model.”

In addition there are two ways for media to go from a Media Server to the playback device. A Media Player will “pull” media from the Media Server; this is sometimes called “the two-box pull model” and it’s usually the easiest to set up and begin using. But if your DLNA-connected home theater equipment features a Media Renderer, you can use the convenient, almost magical “two-box push”, in which you play media on the renderer without even touching it; for example, displaying a photo from your phone to the living room TV using only the controls on your phone.

Can the vu+ box act this way?

Now it's more clear but current Vu+ boxes doesen't have enought CPU power to make render for DLNA

 

[anders0077]

Ok tnx, now I know. Too bad though. Maby I by my self some kind of new hometheatre reciver with dlna rendering possibilities. Thanks any way

That is strange indeed. Normally renderer just get an URI proposed by the client than uses local resources (mostly hw) to play it as usual. The issue can only be content encoding, stream encapsulation, resolution and LAN throughput. It is nothing about downscaling, downmix or high CPU usage. It's almost like AirPlay but for those who are not addicted to i* stuff

UP,

i found this http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?29664-uPnP-media-renderer

is it possible use on a Vu+ Solo ?
The Media Renderer plugin is the only big lack of Vu+
If this work i hope that it is integrated inside BlackHole

 

[dpeddi]

Next release of black hole may have a dlna renderer.
