send AVTransport commands to UPNP media services
AVRemote is a simple command-line tool to send UPNP commands to devices supporting the AVTransport 1 and 2 specifications. It allows to control the playback of audio/video files on media players using the commandline.
This software doesn't aims to be a comprehensive implementation of UPNP controls nor to provide advanced functions for playlist handling and such. AVRemote aims to stay minimalist, a portable software components to be used in scripts and text terminals to control the playback of various media.
AVRemote mostly consists of code written in C and optionally it can link the miniupnpc library to support autodetection of devices.
Our main goals are simplicity, speed, portability on embedded devices, small footprint and reentrancy. We are currently testing it with success on the WD HD Live media players.
Future releases will be integrated for distribution inside our Sync Starter software HDSync, still this software component is also released standalone for generic uses.
