I'm currently running Raspbmc on my Raspberry Pi and activated UPnP streaming an rendering.

My goal is to write a simple Python to stream a video or music playlist.

I've tried Coherence, but I it's throwing a bunch exceptions and I don't really get the point as the documentation is pretty chaotic. So I'm looking for an easier way/library.

What's the easiest way to stream media files to my TV using Python?

There is a lightweight pure python library dlnap which allows playing media on DLNA/UPnP devices in the same local network
