3rd Party UPNP client with MPExtended (1 Viewer)

[sorrowuk]

Could I setup a 3rd party UPNP client on the server which runs MPExtended and then gives the UPNP server the direct urls for the tv channels.

Then the upnp server will just share these links to the files

Should be possible.

So the links are just in a format like this yeah :

http://homeserver/webmp/Stream/TV?item=317&transcoder=Direct

(homeserver is the hostname of the server)

Thats going through web media portal, is there a way to go direct just through mpextended ? what would the links be like ?

See the streaming page on the wiki and the API documentation. I'd use the DoStream method, that's a bit easier than setting up a stream with InitStream, StartStream, RetrieveStream and FinishStream.
