How to public/announce over Linux: GSSDP (libgssdp in most linux distros) is a small, reliable and well tested library that handles the announcement and discovery part of UPnP: it's trivial to write a small program that advertizes the device uri with GSSDP (see example https://git.gnome.org/browse/gssdp/tree/tests/test-publish.c).

How do discover on Linux:

gssdp-discover

Useful Packages:

sudo apt-get install gssdp-tools 
sudo apt-get install gupnp-tools 
sudo apt-get install libgssdp-1.0-dev  // For developing C program

Question: How do we discover on Windows what is advertised in test-publish.c (above) on Linux? Preferred Languages are C++/C and C#. Popular Windows platforms starting from Windows XP needs to be supported.

Once we have this answered we have a compact system to announce on Linux and discover devices both on Windows and Linux.

  • You should probably add some details to the windows part of the question. Does the solution need to work in a specific language? Which Windows versions (new ones have a SSDP service implementation that could be useful)? – Jussi Kukkonen Apr 12 '14 at 10:42
