NAME

   rygel - a collection of DLNA/UPnP AV services

SYNOPSIS

   rygel [options]

DESCRIPTION

   rygel is a home media solution that allows you to easily share audio,
   video and pictures, and control of media player on your home network.
   In technical terms it is both a UPnP AV MediaServer and MediaRenderer
   implemented through a plug-in mechanism. Interoperability with other
   devices in the market is achieved by conformance to very strict
   requirements of DLNA and on the fly conversion of media to format that
   client devices are capable of handling.
