Dumb question re how minimserver works

[Martin H]

Thanks Peter. I have half a memory that there are different ways to do this. At a low level -
- One is where the renderer in effect is told what to ask for from the server, by the control point, and the renderer then initiates and processes the stream. (As Linn does). The other solution is that the server is told what to send, and where to send it, by the control point. The render simply processing what it receives. The former is the Upnp model as I understand it but I can't remember what the other one called.

TBH it may be that my memory is faulty, that the explanation of this difference that I had read was flawed or based on a misunderstanding by the author of how it works 'underneath'. It's not critical, just annoying. I appreciate your help. I have checked a few sites and pretty sure that you are right re DLNA and UPNP which are described as cousins. Thx againk
