=== Upplay - Qt-based UPnP / OpenHome audio Control Point for X11 desktops
*upplay* is a simple Qt-based UPnP/OpenHome Control Point for Unix
desktops.
It is based on the *Sayonara* local player, the UI of which was reused and
pitilessly maimed.
It supports gapless transitions using either *AVTransport* _setNextUri_ or
*OpenHome* _Playlist_, depending on what the device supports (*OpenHome* is
chosen if available).
In its current early state, upplay is quite primitive. Especially:
- The Media Server Content Directory browser is a prototype which was
quickly put together to enable the control part. It lacks most of the
normal functions: you can only browse the tree and add tracks one at a
time (always appending). It's also very ugly.
- The UI needs a lot of polishing everywhere, keyboard accelerators,
weirdness removal etc...
Still the player can be useful if you are at your desk PC with no decent
control point around, at least to turn the music off...
I would very much like some help in improving the UI ! And we need a new
logo.

== Building:
First build and install link:https://github.com/medoc92/upmpdcli[upmpdcli],
this also install the libupnpp library and its development files.
There are a few
link:http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/upmpdcli/upmpdcli.html[build notes
here].
You need to use the Github version of *upmpdcli*, as *upplay* needs a recent
version of the lib. Note that the player part itself has not changed much
since version 0.8.0, apart from a few bug fixes. Yes I shall separate the
player and the lib one day.
Then go to the cloned upplay source, and use the usual qt tools magic:
qmake [PREFIX=xxx]
make
sudo make install
You are then the proud owner of an X11 desktop UPnP audio Control Point.
