Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

UPnP is a set of protocols to share media on the network. It is also supported by a wide range of residential gateways and Network Attached Storage devices. UPnP support is now commonly marketed as DLNA.

Amarok has a build in UPnP media share client so it can play tracks shared on the network. When a media share is discovered it will be shown in the Local Music section.

The UPnP feature depends on the UPnP media server support in KDE.

-=== Client ===
+Amarok has a build in UPnP media share client so it can play tracks shared on the network. When a media share is discovered it will be shown in the Local Music section.
-You also need a ''UPnP'' client, such as '''djmount''', which can be installed (in Debian based distributions such as Kubuntu) using:
-{{Input|sudo apt-get install djmount}}
-''UPnP'' discovery can then be started using
-{{Input|1=djmount '''mountpoint'''}}
-After that you can use it like a local folder and add it to your local collection.
-=== Server ===
-On '''Debian'''-based distributions like '''Ubuntu''' you can install a ''UPnP'' server using
-{{Input|1=sudo apt-get install ushare}}
-The service is started in the terminal with the command
-{{Input|1=ushare -n '''servername''' [-i '''interface'''] [-c '''folder''']}}
-You can also manage shares using the web interface, which you can access by opening <nowiki>http://127.0.0.1:</nowiki>''port''/web/ushare.html in the browser, where ''port'' depends on your settings.
