I would like to create a DLNA server in VB.NET. Since a lot of multimedia devices start supporting DLNA, i would like to see what is possible. Not only streaming video/audio and pictures but see what else can be done.

Anybody any starting points? protocol info, some basic code to get started?

DLNA is based on UPnP so i geuss that is the direction i have to start looking.

UPnP MediaServer using Intels SDK for Windows Home Server and Xbox 360 is written in C# and does not have all the functionallity required but it is a start.

I'd like to see an open source implementation of DLNA in .NET
