The server sends the image URI to the control point (together with DLNA size information), then the control point sends this URI to the renderer and the renderer uses the URI to obtain the image from the server.

Quote:UPnP utilises HTTP, so surely the referrer and the ability to dynamically generate the response from that is enough to deal with 'profiles'. Apologies if I have oversimplified this, UPnP is not something I know well.

Any such implementation would be based on the User-Agent header (not the Referer header). Not all renderers send User-Agent and some send a generic User-Agent that is not useful for identification. Also, it is my understanding that having the server dynamically change the size of the image from the size that was previously advertised to the control point would violate the DLNA protocol.

Ah I see, oops yeah I mean't User-Agent. Are the control point and the render both the client? If so, wouldn't the User-Agent or Static IP be enough to lie to the control point, which would then lie to the renderer.

So Synology's Media Server program allows you to set profiles: Small artwork (this works for the BeoSound 5), etc. Are they violating the protocol to achieve this? If that is the case, then maybe there is a need to violate the protocol for vendors who were/are incapable of coding the protocol correctly.
