SourceForge.net: Platinum

Posted on May 16, 2006

I finally decided to release Platinum, my UPnP SDK. It will be hosted by Sourceforge for now. It will have a dual license: GPL + Commercial. I have spent the last few days trying to clean it up a bit (mainly removing the Windows Media Connect and Xbox 360 hacks). In doing so, I realized that I really needed to rewrite it . The pull model I have used is not very bandwidth efficient. The reason is that I am running a bunch of “tasks” in a round robin way and sleeping in between tasks for 30 ms. So for example, the maximum throughput I am getting while transferring a file locally (from the UPnP Media Server using wget), is only 4 MB/s. The Intel MediaServer on the other hand can go up to 17MB/s. It’s not really a problem for now (as I have used Platinum to stream audio+video from a PC to a PSP wirelessly without a glitch) but it bugs me it’s so slow. Hopefully once gilles releases Mikado, I’ll switch to using that.
