Wifi Stream any sound to UPnP/DLNA device.

Hi

Streaming sound from wine Spotify or VLC etc. to for example Philips bdp5200.
Do it like this:
 (Important if 3. is impossible to do then do 4. first and try 3. again. I don't remember the order I did it in...)

1. open ~/.config/rygel.conf for editing.
2.  skip by the [general] tag and then turn everything to false (lower case) and save it.
3. start  paprefs (it is the pulse audio config tool) select Network Server tab and select the "Make local sound device available as DLNA/UPnP server".
4.In the terminal run this pacmd load-module module-http-protocol-tcp command to make everything work with rygel.
5. Start rygel in the terminal by typing rygel


You will see it has now found "rygel-Message: New plugin 'org.gnome.UPnP.MediaServer2.PulseAudio' available" and there will be some errors witch I just ignore because it works :)

Start Wine and spotify or what ever sound you want to stream.
On my Philips bdp5200 blue ray player i select brows PC and the rygel server pops up. Select outgoing units (direct translation from swedish...) and the sounds starts playing after a little while. ("buffering").

Do NOT mute the sound on your computer playing anythin just turn the volyume really low :)
