Writing a DLNA server (DMS) in Cocoa/Objective-C/C

Question

I'd like to write a DLNA server in Cocoa for the Mac. Are there any libraries for speaking UPnP/DLNA in Objective-C or C? Failing that, where is the spec for DLNA so I can write my own?

Have a look at Platinum UPnP. It's written in C++, but is very portable.

Awesome, it's got sample code for doing UPnP AV. It looks like that's the same as DLNA. If I'm getting this right, DLNA is a certification for UPnP protocols. – Ovarian

hey I am able to integrate it but when I click on the start it showing in the list of DLNA but it is not returning any folders.i.e music,albums...... Could you please help me – Embonpoint

Answer 3

I had a look at the Platinum UPnP Framework too and I found it quite cumbersome to work with since the API is C++ and (fortunately or unfortunately I am not sure) I am not a very experienced C++ developer.

I found this which seems to look promising and has a nicer Objective-C API: CyberLinkForObjC

Platinum has an Objective-C layer so you don't have to deal with C++ if you don't want to. – Tantamount

Answer 4

Don't know about DLNA, but if you want to do port mapping with UPnP, you can try TCMPortMapper.
