miniDNLA Code Analysis

minidnla, now ReadyMedia, is a small UPnP / DNLA Media Server. This note is an analysis of the server and it’s code.

This analysis is being done with the goal of producing a initially a small audio only media server and the a cloud based equivalent.

  • 1.0.18 : Earlyest version with code available
  • 1.1.2 : Current version

As we are only interested in serving audio for now we can hopfully simplify things a little.

TODO

  • Can I get this to build under OS-X?

minissdp.h, .c

Used by minidnla.c.

Interface is pretty trivial. Should be able to reproduce.
