ABSTRACT:
A computing device is equipped with file system services and media related services that automatically make visible to a user of the computing device, through an user interface of the file system, availability of media contents, on discovery of the availability of the media contents from one or more UPNP media servers. In various embodiments, the file system services and the media related services are further equipped to cause a selected one of the media contents to be rendered by an appropriate one of UPNP media renders, in response to a request to “render” the selected one of the media contents. In other embodiments, the file system services and the media related services may also facilitate removal of discovered media contents as well as addition of media contents to a media server.
