Hi All, There is a python file in the test directory of media-service-upnp. It contains some python classes that make it easy to invoke the various media-service-upnp methods from python. The primary purpose of these classes is to provide a crude sort of command line interface for testing media-service-upnp and for manipulating media servers. To use, you simply need to download, compile and install media-service-upnp and then start python. Please find below some examples commands. First, start python and import mediaconsole cd test python Create a manager object Get a list of DMSs. The second column contains the d-Bus path of the server. XBMC (mryan6dev) /com/intel/MediaServiceUPnP/server/0 MediaTomb /com/intel/MediaServiceUPnP/server/1 My Media /com/intel/MediaServiceUPnP/server/2 Create a Container object for the server "My Media". This Container object represents the server's root directory. Print the root object's properties. Note this object has multiple interfaces.
