To refresh my memory, I looked up this Wikipedia article, which provides a list of UPnP components. None of the components listed there seems to fit the DMP concept; do you have a reference to the definition of the 'combined' component?

Mmm, Wikipedia always to be taken with a pinch of salt. Case in point, its opening line for the description of the UPnP AV MediaServer device: 'A UPnP AV media server is the UPnP-server ("master" device)' - such an obvious oxymoron to start with, how can you trust the rest?

Anyway, back to the actual reference, the UPnP AV Architecture document, v2:
http://www.upnp.org/specs/av/UPnP-av-AVA...101231.pdf,
sourced from the Open Connectivity Foundation (maintainers of the UPnP specs via its UPnP Work Group) webpage containing the latest spec docs concerning the MediaServer & MediaRenderer devices:
https://openconnectivity.org/upnp/specif...arenderer3
Section 3.3.1 (p.15) describes the 2-Box control point with Decoder model I mentioned.
