Yesterday, the doubleTwist company I contracted for a couple months ago finally announced an awesome feature called AirTwist. With AirTwist, you can now stream your music, video and photos from your Android phone to a TV using a PS3 or XBox. This is the first Android product released which is powered by our Platinum UPnP SDK.
Check out their press release and video below.
TwonkyBeam lets you send Music/Photos/Videos to UPnP Renderers (such as XBMC) from Web pages as you browse the Net. Since Platinum UPnP SDK is powering XBMC, this is cool. Check it out:

Last night, I published a spanking new version of Platinum. It fixes many issues and rare crashes (some contributed by the developer behind the awesome foobar foo_upnp plugin, merci Michael!). A lot of effort was put into revamping the Device discovery and housekeeping to prevent access violations when trying to access a device while it’s being removed from the network for example.
Windows 7 PlayTo is now supported as well as the new TwonkyBeam product from TwonkyVision. Additionally, all the DLNA compliance work I have been doing in the last months are in there.
You can find it at the usual place here. I have also started to uploaded some binary versions of the sdk (headers + libs & executables) for different platforms (osx, cygwin, win32) in case some people are just interested in trying out the sample apps. Next is documentation.
Update: I have also committed this new version to the XBMC project.
Tonight, I have finished making Platinum DLNA compliant with the DMC profile. A DMC (Digital Media Controller) browses a DMS (Digital Media Server) or MSD (Media Server Device) and control the playback of DMP (Digital Media Player) or MRD (Media Renderer Device).
In the process, I have fixed many bugs, crashes, deadlocks and will publish version 0.5.2 anytime now.
Today I have spent some time testing Platinum with DLNA tools. I am focusing on the Control Point right now. Looks like I have 2 errors and 1 warning left out of around 120 tests. Not bad!
