Could someone please check what the DLNA support means in reality?
Can the N9 now play media files from a DLNA server and browse its collection? Does it act as DLNA server and serves music/pictures/videos for instance on a DLNA enabled TV OR can I use the N9 as a remote controller for DLNAdevices?
Would someone be so nice and try out this things or explain more about "DLNA support". Thank you!
It's the rygel opensource DLNA server under the hood.
You have options for sharing videos, music, and pictures, and have the option to display the control panel launcher in the status bar menu. That's all to it.
It's just an easy means to display your media on a bigger screen.
I was really hoping to be able to browse my media collection in the Stock Movie Player or also use my N9 once as a Digital Media Controller to control music streaming in my living room from the sofa!
At least it is stated on the rygel project site:

So with the rygel stack implmenting other features like a remote media controller (DMC) or a Digital Media Player (DMP) should be possible, or?
I imagine it's all there under the hood, but that it would require some GUI's/integration.
Not necessarily an easy undertaking, but no doubt there's a person or two with the skills here.
the DMC feature sounds awesome (if wikipedia is right about it). I hope nokia ported/implemented everything from rygel but decided to make gui for server part only.
I searched a bit and found this info:
The original developer of Harmattan DLNA seems to be the guy running this blog (http://jensge.org/)
It seems that (Please can anyone with 1.2 confirm this) GUPnP is shipped with the N9? Here I found the following info on http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com
For the 1st set of questions....
The underlying daemon/s may in-fact already be covered by the GUI as much as possible.
That's if I'm reading the 2nd link/blog-post by Jens correctly.
