4 Rygel is a collection of DLNA (UPnP AV) devices, implemented through a plug-in
7 Important facts and features
8 ============================
10 * Specifically designed for GNOME (Mobile) and is therefore planned to be one
11 of the key new features of GNOME 3.0 and Maemo platform in the Harmattan
14 * Written entirely in Vala language.
15 * APIs to ease the implementation of AV devices.
16 * Export of on-disk media:
18 * MediaExport plugin: Recursively exports folders and files specified in
19 the user configuration. This plugin supports all
20 types of URIs that gio/gvfs and gstreamer can handle.
21 * Export of online media from 2nd German TV station.
22 * Export of media hierarchies provided by external applications through
23 implementation of D-Bus MediaServer spec. Applications that utilize
27 * Export of GStreamer pipelines as media items on the network, specified
28 through gst-launch syntax in the user configuration.
29 * Audio and Video Transcoding: source format could be anything GStreamer's
30 decodebin2 can handle but output formats are currently limited to: mp3, PCM
31 and MPEG TS. Fortunately the transcoding framework is flexible enough to
32 easily add more transcoding targets.
33 * Standalone MediaRenderer plugin based on GStreamer playbin2 element.
34 * Export of media players that implement MPRIS2 D-Bus interface, as
35 MediaRenderer devices. Known implementing applications are:
48 * gio (part of glib source package)
52 * vala (not if building from release tarballs)
53 * gupnp-vala (not if building from release tarballs)
