Vodcasting for Cocoon

I have released the latest version, v1.1.3. I have released a sample script for DLNA and Vodcast, dms2vodcast.pl, with Net::UPnP v1.1.3. It can convert from MPEG2 movies of DLNA media servers to MPEG4 and the RSS file for Vodcast, to specify only your favorite movies.

Using the sample script, I can convert only my favorite broadcast movies such as business news automatically every night, check out the MPEG4 movies from my Cocoon to my iPod using the RSS file and iTunes such as the following cron 🙂

System

The package includes a utility package, UPnP::AV::MediaServer for DLNA media server. I added some examples for the package such as printing all contents in the all media server in the local network.

The package includes a vodcast example, dms2vodcast.pl, using UPnP::AV::MediaServer. The example finds all DLNA media servers such as Sony’s Cocoon and Toshiba’s RD-X6 in the local network, converts the MPEG2 movies to the MPEG4 one, and outputs the RSS file for Vodcast.
