Media Sharing Feature extension proposal: "Play To"

[Jens Georg <mail jensge org>]

Hi,

What I would like to propose is something in the lines of less open DLNA
sharing. This is a feature on top of Rygel.

It would be similar to the "Play to" feature of Windows 7, where you can
right-click on a file and "send" it to UPnP-capable media renderer.
(Thinking of a nautilus send-to plugin here)

Why is it less open? It doesn't require you to have your server
announced publicly or enable any of the UPnP sharing. All you need is a
HTTP server. Rygel has a mode which already supports this out-of-the box
(transcoding and all), see https://live.gnome.org/Rygel/StreamingOnly
