Coherence and Rhythmbox UPnP interaction

This shows Rhythmbox:

- acting as an UPnP MediaServer, serving its files to the UPnP player Media Streamer on the Nokia N800
- being itself a client of a Coherence UPnP MediaServer
- and in the end acting as an UPnP MediaRenderer, controlled by the ControlPoint on the N800

@Ralfioni Rhythmbox is both a DMR (digital media renderer) and DMS (digital media server) in UPNP speak. However I don't think Rhythmbox can act as a DMC (digital media controller) which would let you select a DMR (i.e. your wdtv) from Rhythmbox to play your music on. You would have to go to your WDTV and browse the content from there. Hopefully one day Rhythmbox will have the DMC part too.

I'm trying the exact opposite. Can I use Rhythmbox as a control point to stream music to my media renderer (WDTV Live, hooked up to a stereo)?

Looks nice, thanks for introduction.
