Confused on Upnp Browser?

Kroko,

I am new to all of this and trying to figure out the best front end form my content. After initially reading your extension description, I thought I would now be able to add content from a UPNP svr to Media Portal. Is this the purpose of your program?

XBMC allows me to do this very easily, but MP does not, or I don't have the knowledge of know how to do this. Very plausible.

I ultimately would like to add Playon UPNP Svr onto MP as a video option. I can add all content off my nas, but I belive I am doing this via SMB and not UPNP. My NAS does either, and this is the way I am able to post this content on my PS3, XBOX360, and Popcorn Hour.

Finally, I don't know how to use your program. I have loaded it via the MP installer, and I see it as an option in the extensions. When I click on it, it only asks me if I want to reinstall it or uninstall it. I was expecting to be able to choose from a list of UPNP servers at that point.

I am sorry if this is very basic, but your help would be great appreciated.

Well, I just realized that I needed to rest MP to get this to populate in Plugins. I also just realized that this is literally a UPNP browser, and not an actual client allowing me to play my UPNP Sver content.

Cool browser except it pauses a bit before it actually pulls up the list.

If I am off on this one, then please let me know, but it seems there isn't a way to play UPNP svr content within MP.
