      <description>## Hello World
**Hello World**

&lt;div class="post"&gt;
  &lt;h3 class="title"&gt;&lt;a href="/posts/using-vlc-as-upnp-renderer-with-rygel"&gt;Using VLC as UPnP renderer with rygel&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span class="date"&gt;28. Jan, 2015&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

  &lt;div class="summary ellipsis"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have a NAS, a smartphone and my local Computer. What todo with all this thinks? My NAS has a lot of multimedia files and my computer has a large monitor i thought why not connect all this thinks. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So here is my setup:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;my NAS as UPnP media server with all my movies&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;my Smartphone with an UPnP control point app like &lt;a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp"&gt;BubbleUPnP&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;and my linux machine&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So now to the interessting part. &lt;a href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Rygel"&gt;rygel&lt;/a&gt; is a UPnP AV MediaServer. But rygel can also as as an player to recieve media files and play this. This is called a UPnP media renderer. Rygel provides a standalone Media Renderer based on GStreamer playbin. This play video and audio files, but thats&#xB4;s it. You can&#xB4;t even play a video in fullscreeen mode. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So here comes VLC in play with another protocoll called &lt;a href="http://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/latest/"&gt;MPRIS&lt;/a&gt;. So i don&#xB4;t get in to details here so MPRIS works and its connect VLC with our media renderer rygel. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So here is an example configuration for rygel. I have disabled all the stuff that isn&#xB4;t necessary to just play our videos.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;~/.config/rygel.conf&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[general]
upnp-enabled=true
enable-transcoding=false

[Tracker]
enabled=false

[MediaExport]
enabled=false

[Playbin]
enabled=false

[GstLaunch]
enabled=false

[MPRIS]
enabled=true

[External]
enabled=false
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

  &lt;div class="more"&gt;
    &lt;a href="/posts/using-vlc-as-upnp-renderer-with-rygel" class="btn btn-small"&gt;read more..&lt;/a&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="pagination"&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
      &lt;li class="active"&gt;&lt;a href="/posts/index/1"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
