MP Upnp Renderer
This process plugin for Mediaportal is a Upnp Renderer.You can send your music, videos or pictures with a handy, tablet, pc or any other upnp controller device from your upnp media server to Mediaportal. You can play the selected mediafiles at mediaportal by using the "playTo" or "Throw" function from your upnp controller device (e.g. a tablet or handy). Workaround for playing mp4 video files by caching file.
Some details about upnp: You need a upnp media server, where your tracks are saved. This could be a nas or router with upnp server (e.g. twonky) or e.g. a pc with windows media player. In Windows 7 a upnp server is already integrated. To select a track and send it to "MP Upnp Renderer"/Mediaportal you need a upnp controller like e.g. bubble upnp (android) or windows media player (pc).
