I'd like to understand a full picture of this demo just in case others are
also interested in the test. From what I read so far:
	Mark works on an NAS server
	Darren covers a media server with mediatomb
	Josh sits on UPnP renderer/controller with rygel and gupnp tools

So is the demo chained as below:

NAS server provides media contents which are then found and exported
by mediatomb which then are found by UPnP controller which then points to
the UPnP renderer for final output. Here UPnP controller and renderer may
or may not be the same board.

what Josh wants people to test here is self-contained in one image which 
contains both renderer/controller and server (local media files), which hasn't
been connected to other bits yet.

Is above understanding correct?

Thanks,
Kevin
