No U PNP
The issue I always had with DLNA is that I found its implementations and apecifically controllers and renderers rather wonky:<p>- Open-source controllers are unstable and with terrible UX when they manage to discover the renderers and servers. Closed source controllers all seemed suspicious to me, esp. on Android.
- Renderers all support different media formats, some support sutitles, others not at all...<p>Don&#x27;t get me wrong, I marvel at the engineering thought that went into designing the spec, however adoption was never up to par IMO.
I&#x27;d love to be proven wrong that this is no longer the case, however the defeatist tone of TFA makes me doubt this...<p>On the issue with NAT-PMP, PCP, IGD, I am somewhat jaded. I use OpenWrt and XMPP. For my home use this setup works hassle-free and file transfers and calls just work. (IoT is in a different vlan, cut off from the internet). However I doubt setting this up is not really something the average consumer would do. Maybe only if pirating as Torrent clients, too have very good support for the protocol.
