[QUOTE="Valk, post: 389197, member: 18631"] UPnP is going to be how mediaportal 2 communicates (I believe) when it comes out. Also to implement UPnP takes a lot more effort than a simple HTTP server. MPwebinterface & iPIMP are designed around an http interface to control the webserver and UPnP would be no use to them (well you could setup a menu system to control everything but there main goals don't go down that path). StreamTv was initially designed to give a intermediate solution to allow UPnP clients to watch live TV because I wanted results more than long winded UPnP support only to find mediaportal 2 released the next day. As development has come along a few people have asked for more features then I initially envisioned for StreamTv (transcoding, channel groups, different listing output e.g. html) which UPnP wouldn't of been able to offer. Wait for mediaportal 2 if you want native UPnP support. [/QUOTE]
