In my last blogs, I was showing how to create DLNA devices. In my final blog about this topic I will demonstrate how to create a DLNA Control Point (=Client) which uses the functionality of these devices. I will demo a simple Control Point for a Media Renderer which will Read more
After having demonstrated how to implement a DLNA Media Renderer in the last blog, I show that it is equally simple to define a DLNA media server. Here is the outline of a basic sketch: The logic for setting up and starting a server is basically the same like the Read more
Im my last blog I was describing the DLNA Architecture. So we are ready now to dig into my first Arduino DLNA Sketch. By combining my arduino-dlna with the arduino-audio-tools library it is quite easy to build a Network Audio Renderer that can e.g. be controlled via an Android Application: Read more
The major advantage of the DLNA architecture is it’s clear separation of concerns. This split into specialized roles allows developers to create focused, efficient devices that, when combined, form a sophisticated whole-house audio system. The architecture is built around three core components: Media Servers, which store and distribute (e.g. audio) Read more
Introduction Last year, I started to work on a DLNA library for Arduino. There are some existing implementations, but they only implement “Control Points”, but no “Devices”. Now that the weather is getting colder, I decided to give this topic some more “love”. The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) aimed Read more
