Hello, Areplat. Do you have some questions on application?

Hello, Areplat. Do you have some questions on application?

Yes I want to know how to listen to music from my PC. What another software should I use?

Hello.
You have to use software that would works as a server on your PC.
It could be Windows Media Player - you just need to set it up. It could be also XBMC.
But experience shows that the best one for music sharing is Foobar2000 ( foobar2000 ). It is specially designed just for music.
After installation of Foobar2000 you have to install DLNA plugin - UPnP/DLNA Renderer, Server, Control Point 0.99.45
The advantage of Foobar2000 is its speed of work. It works almost instantly with no delays.

We have tested interoperrability of ArkMC with Serviio media server.
ArkMC works good with Serviio bouth with video and audio sharing.

I have visited my friend. He has Sony Playstation 3. I have conntected to his home network, but I didn't see Sony Playstation in the list of renderers, though it is DLNA compatible. What could be the reason of this?

The reason of this is that Play Station 3 do not have DMR fuctionality, so it could not be controlled remotely.

Here is the information about different DLNA classes:

DMS - server, can share media information, can be accessed by controller and player.
DMP - can browse servers, select media and play it.
DMC - can browse servers, select media and sent it to another devices and controll playback.
DMR - can receive media from controllers and play it, can be controlled.

Thanks for the information. I have taken a look at DLNA site and I see that there are another DLNA classes DMPr, DMU, DMD.
Are you planning to add something of this to ArkMC?

DMPr - is digital media pritnter, that is why we are not going to add this class.
Talink about Uploader and Downloader - it might be interesting to add. We will take this into regard.
