Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) / DLNA

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 built-in UPnP media share client so it can play tracks shared on the network. To enable it, use Settings -> Plugins -> Collections and check the box. When a media share is discovered it will be shown in Local Music.

The UPnP feature depends on KDE's UPnP media server support.
