With the release of Rygel 0.7.3 I thought I should bring up some sort of FAQ for Rygel and especially the MediaExport plugin, since it has some features and behavior changes that might lead to confusion for long-time (and new) users:

I updated the windows ports of gssdp and gupnp today, did some further clean-up on the gupnp port and filed merge-requests for both on gitorious.

enabled=true
launch_items=ndrinfo
