Free upnp media renderer software for linux

Well... i apreciated the good job done by almusaihij http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=53457
And ive read comment about too many buttons... Ive searched along in kde-apps and i found this app http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=41272
So ive decided to take the best from those kommander script to realize a more "feeling" and clean gui.. I would like to thanx all this guys and the script code..hope i can help to contribuite in adding-code for future kommander interfaces..
It could be more improved... like multiple files converted... and a clean "map-format" ...because now is in a little bit of a mess...
If u like this prog check also:
-SoundKonverter
-Kvideoencoder
A big tnx to the Ubuntu italian community for support..;)
A special tan to almusaihij for makeing a Kubuntu .deb package and for sharing code and idea.
Enhancements:
- More improved code
- Added subtiles misc with avi file
- Added experimental controls

Pixie is a RenderMan like photorealistic renderer. It is being developed in the hope that it will be useful for graphics research and for people who can not afford a commercial renderer.
Pixie Renderer project is an open source project licensed under Gnu Public License (GPL).
Pixie is an open source project. None of the people contributing to Pixie is making any money out of it and were not asking for money. We need your feedback to keep this project alive. Use Pixie, submit bug reports, pictures you rendered with Pixie or just your good wishes.
One of the biggest considerations in Pixies development is the modularity. If youre interested in developing additional features / improving current features, improving the web site, optimizing Pixie, please let us know.
Main features:
- All RenderMan 3.2 primitives
- Quadrics: Sphere, Disk, Cone, Paraboloid, Hyperboloid, Cylinder, Toroid
- Parametrics: Bilinear/Bicubic patches, NURBS
- Subdivision Surfaces including crease/hole/interpolateboundary tags
- Points
- Curves
- Convex / Concave polygons with or without holes and their meshes
- Object instancing / delayed primitives
- Displacements
- Programmable shading (RenderMan Shading Language)
- High quality texture/shadow/environment mapping
- High dynamic range input/output
- Raytracing
- Motion blur
- Depth of field
- Reyes style rendering (very fast)
- Occlusion culling
- Network parallel rendering
- DSO shaders
- Global illumination
- Photon mapping
- Irradiance caching
- Automatically raytraced smooth reflections / shadows
Enhancements:
- 64Bit clean codebase. The Pixie source should compile cleanly on 64Bit platforms. Please let us know if you have any issues with this. Note: youll need libtiff (and X11 on linux / OSX) to be compiled in 64Bit mode too.
- Fixed issues with dissapearing subdiv geometry when raytracing
- Fixed issues with speckled irradiance / occlusion data when using the "R" mode
- Reduced raytrace memory overhead
- Support for vector/color/point/normal subscripting shorthand in SL v[n] = x => setcomp(v,n,x) x = v[n] => x = comp(v,n)

PyMediaServer is a barebones UPnP-based Media Server for use with a Netgear MP101 Digital Music Player.
PyMediaServer currently:
- supports the Netgear MP101 and has not been tested with any other UPnP client devices
- Supports browsing MP3s (only MP3s at this point) via the UPnP ContentDirectory service, but only provides organization by directories (that is, it does not support an Artist category, Genre category, etc.)
- Supports ordering MP3s found in a given folder via track number if those track numbers are available via ID3v2
- Supports playing MP3s via RTSP and RTP/UDP to the MP101
Development is currently in progress to add support for organization by Artist, Genre, and Alblum. Additional features Id like to include are:
- Playlist support
- Internet Radio support
- PyGTK Interface
- Improved Installer
- WMA support
- Additional Media Player support
Installing and Running
The installation process at the moment is straightforward, though there are some noted issues with it.
In a nutshell I recommend downloading the source to /usr/src or /usr/local/src and then running install.sh in the pymediaserver directory. This merely creates a link from /usr/bin/pymediaserver to the MediaServer.py file. You will have to edit install.sh if you want the link created in a different bin directory.
Running should be straightforward:
pymediaserver /path/to/mp3s/ to load a new set of content
Note that /path/to/mp3s/ is an absolute path and should be readable by the user from which pymediaserver is launched (robustness isnt supported yet).
If no arguments are presented to pymediaserver it will try to load a stored dictionary in $HOME/.pymediaserver/. If one doesnt exist it will fail (probably with a nasty traceback).
Enhancements:
- The non-graphical version no longer requires GTK+ or X in any fashion, allowing it to be started as a daemon.
- The Media Directory is now read directly from the Amarok database if available using a SQLite interface.
- Error handling when encountering malformed ID3 tags was improved along with the handling of character encoding of MP3 titles.

Elisa Media Center project was designed to create an open source cross platform media center solution. While our primary development and deployment platform is GNU/Linux and Unix operating systems we also currently support Microsoft Windows and also hope to support MacOSX in the future.

Elisa runs on top of the GStreamer multimedia framework. In addition to personal video recorder functionality (PVR) and Music Jukebox support, Elisa will also interoperate with devices following the DLNA standard like Intels ViiV systems.

Media Exchange is an MP3 Jukebox appliance. It allows you to:
- merge music collections
- Play music and control the player with a browser
- Organize your music
- Automatically tag music
- Remove double tracks automatically
- Download music directly from the artists
- Share music with your friends safely and easily
And Artists to:
- Distribute music to their fans directly

Transfer to Media Device is a script that creates a new Playlist Right Click Menu item for transferring selected playlist items to your iPod via the Media Device Browser.
This script now also supports generic copy to operation for USB mass storage devices. Currently the script will prompt for a destination directory on first copy, in the future this setting will be saved in a configuration file.
This script works with amaroK 1.3beta3 and above.
Usage:
Run from the amaroK script manager. A new menu item will appear in the Playlist right mouse button menu.
Select files in the playlist and Right click -> Transfer to -> iPod for transfering to an iPod.
Select files in the playlist and Right click -> Transfer to -> USB Device for transfering to a USB device.
Enhancements:
- Add support for Creative Nomad Jukebox devices using the kionjb kioslave. Thanks to Ralf T for the patch.

Media Pirate allows you to download videos and flash movies from websites.

More and more websites publish their videos in those neat flash players. But if you want to download a video there is no download link. This doesnt mean that you cant download it. Media Pirate creates a download link for you!

Media Pirate helps you to download videos from the following websites:

blip.tv break.com dailymotion.com ifilm.com media.putfile.com metacafe.com myvideo.de video.google.com vids.myspace.com vidilife.com youtube.com zippyvideos.com

To convert the video files to other formats go to:
Media Converter
This is very useful if you dont have a FLV player.

Media Pirate - The video downloader is the service that 100% works!!

Hint: It opens a new tab with the mediapirate.org website where you can find the download link.
