Rygel, a home media solution (UPnP AV MediaServer) that allows users to easily share audio, video, and pictures to other devices, is now at version 0.23.2.

With Rygel, users will be able to browse the media collection from the TV or PS3 on a PC running GNOME, and they will have the possibility to play any of said media.

According to the changelog, the Object.uris property is now hidden, a workaround has been implemented for a failing HEAD request, and M3U playlists are now supported.

Moreover, the instance id is now checked in Next() and Prev() SOAP calls, the byte position is now sent in RelCount/AbsCount instead of int.MAX, the "TRANSITIONING" state has been remobed in Stop() and Pause() SOAP calls, and the empty metadata for duration guessing is no longer parsed.

Check out the official changelog for a complete list of updates and new features. You can download Rygel 0.21.3 right now from Softpedia, but this is just the source package. If you want to use this application right now you will have to use the local repositories or you can use this PPA (for Ubuntu).

Remember that this is a development version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.
