RVU is the next generation of DLNA done right, hopefully. Finally, an interface is served to a TV, not just some directories.
Unfortunately, looks like the corporate geeks want to keep this only for big players by charging an outrageous sum to get the spec. But, what if XMBC could pull it off? http://www.rvualliance.org/ (Direct TV is the only company making a set to box yet.)
Hopefully, the server gets to decode the stream as well, since most DLNA TVs just can't handle most of the video codecs I use and the TVs don't get upgraded. My Samsung UN55ES7003 can interact with an RVU server. More TVs will do this. Let XBMC show the world what can be done. I bet the coder that figures this out could get a nice contract out in the future.
