m3player version 0.1.3 has the following new features:

  • m3player can be run as a daemon with -d or --daemon
  • The name of the UPnP Media Renderer can be configured by -n or --name. This is done by copying the XML files from /usr/share/m3player to /var/lib/m3player and filtering place-holders in some of the files.
  • The version of the MediaRenderer device can be configured by -r or --root. The default is MediaRendererV2.xml
  • The UPnP server can be bound to a network interface, specified by -i or --interface. Example: eth0
