Re the xbox issue MinimServer might include a fix - it seems to be getting a good reception on the forums. Wikipedia [1] lists renderers including VLC, XBMC and Totem. Having no experience with UPnP I'm wondering whether using two routers [2, 3] is going way OTT. Is UPnP server security a problem, i.e. if you know how to configure your router are there issues with a layout like this?

[Hampshire] upnp
I have been playing with upnp lately and by using media tomb on my linux box I can make all audio, video and pictures available on my phone and tablet, which is cool. Unfortunately (unsurprisingly?) Microsoft buggered up the upnp protocol on the xbox so it can't find media. My phone also has a upnp server, so I can share files from there too. It also appears that upnp allows ayback to another device, which sounds cool. This brings me to my question. Is there any linux software that cab be a upnp playback target or renderer so that I can use my phone to browse media (stored on my phone, tablet or pc) and have the playback happen on my linux pc which is connected to my tv and hifi?

Re: [Hampshire] upnp
I've used http://www.tvmobili.com/ before - it's cross platform. It is not open source and I don't fully trust it so ran it under a separate user account but it seems to work. Not sure on a FLOSS alternative - I think DLNA has license fees?

Re: [Hampshire] upnp
Interesting, and but my tv doesn't do dlna so would want a dlna client? app to actually render for me.
