Thread opened again, and two threads merged. Again, sorry for the confusion folks.

I'd like to get back to the original idea/suggestion explained in first post: to use XBMC as an DLNA controller. This thread (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...=upnp+dlna) even provides an idea how this can be done - using the external player. So it seems nothing has to be changed in XBMC core, only thing we need is this "external player" application that will send requests to DLNA renderrer (TV).
PS
I'm not sure whether thread merged with this one was about the same thing...

Hello, everyone I am working so hard to find some kind of solution for this, but it is real hard and time consuming. I am looking into doing a external player to airplay to tv or what ever, and a external player upnp control point. so in simple two things to have xbmc play directly on my tv. I have just found what looks like the famous upnpcontroller.exe from the other post, it is a script out on the net. I am looking into it to see if I would be able to make that small application. if anyone is interested please PM me. Now if ANYONE has the actual upnpcontroller.exe please please please send me a PM. it would save me hours LOL.
This seems to be a good starting point for building external player that will work as a DLNA Controller: http://code.google.com/p/upnpx/wiki/tutorial

Here is some sample code from MSDN, maybe it can help:

Just to tease this a bit... This is going to happen. *Maybe* even transcoding support (it was mentioned, but I can't recall the exact details). I'll probably botch the details, but you'll learn more in the DevCon (wiki) summary.
EDIT: the DevCon summary on XBMC.org, that is.

XBMC is going to be crazy in the future, the endless features... I love the work which is being done.

This is good news!
Quote from XBMC DevCon Liveblog:
"Alcoheca has updated the latest UPnP server, started cleaning up code, etc. He’s now added a port for media control, so if you have 2 XBMC devices in your home, you can watch a percentage of the show on one device, then send the rest of that show to another device. Additionally, the XBMC device essentially acts as a remote control for another XBMC instance. In essence, this works somewhat like AirPlay, but with more extensive possibilities. Additionally, the uPnP client is being extended to better show metadata."
Hope this will be compliant with DLNA standard so that XBMC can control any DLNA renderer, not only another XBMC device.

It didn't make it in time for v12 (Frodo)'s feature freeze, and I think it might need another PR to fully work as well, but the main Pull Request for this is https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/1597 if anyone wants to try their hand at making their own build with this feature.

topfs made a pull request to get this in frodo. Besides alcoheca is doing great work to improve upnp. This could be the start of an even bigger feature: share. See my topic about it...

very sharp martijn! It's not going in frodo if that's what you meant..

Too bad 
With support for iOS and now also Android phones/tablets it's realy pity we cannot use nice XBMC interface on these devices to browse media library and then send media for rendering to other device - TV/AV receiver (most of them do support UpNP/DLNA).
