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:

Platinum update has been pushed with many enhancements including:
- better eventing (now with moderation)
- support for HTTP keep-alive client connections
- XBox 360 compatibility (see previous post)!
- better support for dynamic addition/removal of devices
- much more…
You can find it at the usual place.
Over the last few months, I have found a bit of time to work back on Platinum. One of the things I have always wanted to add was XBox360 support. The XBox is somewhat UPnP aware but does things not according to the standard so it needed a bit of hacking. One of the thing I have been missing recently is working on XBMC so I have decided to make time and jump back into the project. The result is that XBMC is now seen by the XBox 360 and can be used as a Video & Music server. (Photos are not supported yet)
Check out the release that supports it if you’re interested.
