It appears that XBMC uses a slightly changed version of libPlatinum.

That is correct, the latest SVN main trunk source code tree of XBMC (and XBMC_PC) now contain a built-in UPnP AV MediaServer and a built-in UPnP ControlPoint/Client (both based on the Platinum C++ UPnP SDK code, and implemented by c0diq, the author of the Platinum C++ UPnP SDK), libPlatinum is compiled into a library called libUPnP in XBMC source code to make it modular and portable to other projects. The Xbox version does not support multicast packets so the UPnP-server in XBMC instead just uses a hack that send broadcast packets every 7 seconds, this hack can however be disabled in XBMC_PC so you might want to look at that version.XBMC_PC (and libPlatinum_PC library project) can also be compiled directly with normal Microsoft Visual Studio 2003, while the Xbox version of XBMC also requires the XDK (Xbox Development Kit software compiler).

You can down the latest libUPnP source code for XBMC in a rar archive from here (link)

I'm just thrilled that you are developing this conkerjoe! How is it going? I certainly will be very happy with a working uPNP plugin!

Merge this topic-thread?

Maybe a mod should/could merge this topic-thread into the existing UPnP support (Universal Plug and Play) suggestion thread?, at least until a conkerjoe or a other developer releases a beta-version of his/her plugin, in which case he/she should start a new topic-thread with a topic summery that contains the name and/or description of their UPnP server/client plugin, and so dedicate that topic thread to their plugin.
