I want to control my DLNA TV from my Java program on my PC. In particular, I want to:
- discover if there’s a TV in the LAN
- check whether it is currently ON (for a first step)
- later send some commands (eg. OFF) to it
I believe, I need to implement the Digital Media Controller (DLNA-DMC) profile. Is there a Java library which allows me to do this easily?
I couldn’t find much doc on this. Are the APIs under NDA?
Can you recommend some reading?
Take a look at Cling. I’m not sure it implements the UPnP control point features you’re in fact looking for, but at least it’s a starting point.
