Serviio

hello - as a I'm new, let me please say thanks for this great piece of software.

I am not sure whether this would be the right place to mention/ask for this, but would there be any chance to write a kind of DLNA "browser" or "client" to test serviio (which works like a charm here) on the same machine/PC, without having to rely on the actual DMR (Samsung C series LED TV in my case)? this would come handy if the server machine/PC is in another room as the renderer.
I did check the forums here as well as sourceforge and Google, but no luck.
what do you guys use to test the server?

once again thanks!

download XBMC that is what I use.

thanks I did try this, well, let me call it: "bloatware", and I saw it had many features - except for an actual DLNA client, unless its hidden somewhere in its colorful yet confusing interface?

it's quite hudden... if I remeber well you have to add a UPnP source in the library. Others will probably point you to the exact location.

thanks, I found it eventually:

I have just found UPnP-Inspector which works a treat to check what serviio is offering. Its available from http://coherence.beebits.net/wiki/UPnP-Inspector and is cross platform and free.
However - this just allows you to browse what is being served (ie see what files are available and what data is being presented with them) - if you actually want to view the media, you also need the rest of the coherence framework and gstreamer - available from http://coherence.beebits.net/
I have found it really useful though to see how my files have been indexed by serviio without having to go to my tv

Sounds good, I will have to try this tonight.

Thanks, useful, based on INTEL Upnp Spy Tool.
