Bullshit. Try reading something on the topic before writing. Even Wikipedia will do. DLNA specs groups devices in categories, including servers, renderers, and controllers. Using DMC you can command DMR to play a media from a DMS.

The fact that you've used loosy implementation doesn't mean that the spec itself is a crap.

DLNA is not a silver bullet and has some flaws, but it is thousand times better then AirPlay just because it is more open and does not require specific hardware to accomplish simple tasks. And what is even more important, at the moment huge amount of work is being done worldwide to enrich the list of devices supporting these protocols.

Right, so my only mistake was "It pulls. It doesn't push". In the future it might all get better. Great. But I was responding to what we have now, not what we might have next year.
