== Prerequisites == * WLAN with both (a) any device you want to transcode/serve content from and (b) any device you want to receive/access content with are connected. * Primary device (Lenovo X1 in my case) with Ubuntu 16.04, which seems to come with a UPnP/DLNA media server baked in unlike earlier versions. ** If you don't use Ubuntu 16.04, you might do well to try setting up Rygel or something similar. Check out [http://askubuntu.com/a/485753 this askubuntu post] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20140823094620/http://dpc.ucore.info/blog/2012/11/07/dlna-streaming-in-ubuntu-12-dot-10/ this old blog post] for some ideas about that. * Software to sink media output to any UPnP/DLNA connected device. In my case, this turned out to be [https://github.com/masmu/pulseaudio-dlna Pulseaudio-DLNA], which (surprise!) uses the pulseaudio server to direct media output to any DLNA-connected output. The first record I found of pulseaudio-dlna was posted as [http://askubuntu.com/a/567075 this AskUbuntu answer] by the creator, Massimo. Note that I installed the <code>pavucontrol</code> package as well in order to manage the audio output as Massimo suggests in the post. * Audio receiver device with a UPnP renderer installed. In my case, this was an oldish Nexus 5 phone running a current version (13-point-something) of CyanogenMod or some other reasonably contemporary Android OS. ** I am using [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp BubbleUPnP]. That's a link to the free version. If you want to run the stream for more than 30 minutes or so, you may need to buy the full version for about $5. I have not tested this with other UPnP/DLNA rendering tools out there.
