Following is in my opinion a more accurate redaction of what you said... The whole point of using UPnP ... is if it allows me to mix players, controllers and servers from different manufacturers, -and to mix content from different content providers,- in the same system, if I'm forced to use only components -or content- from the same manufacturer -or content provider- I suspect I will be better of using their proprietary protocols. Unfortunately it does not lead to a happy conclusion about interopability. Either you go with Apple with (bindings on hardware and content); Or with UPnP (no bindings on hardware, but limitations on content); Or you go with something like the Squeezebox environment (bindings on hardware, some freedom of content); Or ?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndrewFG's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95603 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
