DPWS in Media Player

Dear All,

I'm currently doing some research involving WS-CDL (web service choreographies). I would like to create a use case with the MediaServer capabilities of either XBox or Windows MediaPlayer. It has been told that these devices support DPWS (device plrofile for WS), which should make it possible to include a MEdiaServer in a web service choreography.

Is there somebody out there that can point me to the WSDLs of the MediaServer?

Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,

Gregory Van Segbroeck

AFAIK the XBox and WMP are UPnP AV Clients, and don't use DPWS. Vista includes WMC (Windows Media Connect) which also uses UPnP AV to serve Media. I believe UPnP AV also underlies the DLNA spec for compatibility between media sharing devices.

There is an unmanaged DPWS stack (WSDAPI) included in Vista, but I think it is used/meant for communication with more resource constrained devices like printers, scanners and home automation. There's also a corresponding WSDAPI stack in the .Net Micro Framework. It looks like it's intended to be used in concert with the Windows Rally family of protocols.
