DLNA and UPnP work in tandem to provide a seamless media sharing experience. UPnP supports device discovery and control on the network through protocols like the Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) and others such as SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) for control messages and XML for device and service descriptions. In the context of DLNA, UPnP serves as the foundation, allowing various devices like TVs, computers, and mobile devices to connect and share media content efficiently.
In RouterOS, enable the media server and share movies or music with your household media devices, such as TVs or player apps in your PC, such as the popular VLC.
