Avahi is for DAAP, while GUPnP and Coherence is for uPnp. DAAP is mostly confined to the Apple world, while ‘everyone’ else is going for uPnP.

As for being in Python, well its great if you are using Python like we are in Elisa.
There is no performance issue as the media handling is done in GStreamer (which is C).

But of course GUPnP is a great choice if you want a C library (once its finished)

Oh, I forgot, there’s also GUPnP.

I’m quite confused with so many service discovery frameworks. Anyone can explain the state of these frameworks. I though that Avahi was relatively advanced.

And as a framework isn’t python a bad idea? I mean, it’s no so fast, and it cannot be used in applications written in C++ for example.
