Media Streamer : Nokia released the UPnP AV Control point for Nokia 770. The control point is created based on CyberLink for C with their patches.

I installed the control point in my home, I searched UPnP/AV media servers. I could not find Sony's Cocoon today, but I am very surprised that it is has the very good and simple graphical user interface.

You can install it using your Application manager. Here are the instructions:
1. Make sure you have the latest firmware in your 770, i.e. OS2006 edition. 
If not, upgrade your 770 SW. You can download it e.g. from http://europe.nokia.com/A4144790.
If you prefer linux environment, get the flashing
tool from http://www.maemo.org/downloads/releases.html
2. Make sure your 770 is connected to the Internet
3. Open Application Manager in your 770 (with OS2006 edition)
4. Add the maemo application catalogue to your list of catalogues:
- menu -> Tools -> Application catalogue
- Create new catalogue with following parameters:
URL: http://repository.maemo.org/extras
Distribution: mistral
Components: free non-free
5. Refresh the package list (Tools -> Refresh package list)
6. Select "Install new applications" from Application manager main view.
7. Select category "All" and you should see "mediastreamer" package. Install it and you
are ready.


MythTV 0.20 : I knew that the new version is released, and it supports UPnP/AV media server based on CyberMedia Gate for C++ currently.

According to the release note, their term want to rewrite the media server codes based on other GPL licenced because their licence is GPL v2. However, I have no plan to release the source codes as GPL licence now X-<
