[Kde-hardware-devel] UPnP support on OS X/Windows

[Friedrich W. H. Kossebau]

Hi Armijn and all,

once upon a time you gave principal UPnP support in the KDE platform that more 
and more famous draft:
http://www.mail-archive.com/kde-hardware-devel@kde.org/msg00358.html

With Cagibi*, the SSDP cache/proxy daemon I'm hacking on,  there is now 
something like that broker you envisioned in that draft arising, D-Bus 
interface developed in an agile style.
HUPnP might serve as the base for the UPnP profile specific client 
libraries/modules, like the MediaServer kio-slave.
No real idea about the eventing yet.

But with kdelibs trying multi-platform I wonder:
Can you tell how UPnP support on Windows and OS X is done? Both UI wise and 
API wise? Is this part of the platform or offered by a favourite add-on? How 
would we connect to that?

UI:
I heard UPnP devices are listed in the Windows Explorer. On click it opens a 
browser pointing to the presentation url. Is this only done with the root 
device, or also for all embedded ones (which can have presentation urls, too)?

API:
?

* First release of Cagibi is in the door, see separate email.

Cheers
Friedrich
