It has been tested with a number of *UPnP* control points running on
|
|
|
| 7 |
*Android* and *Windows*. Because of their good support of *OpenHome*
|
|
|

_Playlists_, which are a significant improvement over bare *UPnP*, and

|
|

their general quality, *Bubble UPnP* (*Android* app) and Linn *Kinsky* (free on

==== How things work:
|
|
|
| 13 |
|
|
|
| 14 |
The Control Points uses the *UPnP* protocols to browse the tracks on the
|
|
|
| 15 |
_Media Server_ and choses URIs to be played. It then talks *UPnP* to *umpdcli*,
|
|
|
| 16 |
which uses the *MPD* client protocol to place the URIs into the *MPD*
|
|
|
| 17 |
playlist. *MPD* finally retrieves the data from the _Media Server_ using HTTP.
