Rygel, a home media solution (UPnP AV MediaServer) that allows users to easily share audio, video, and pictures to other devices, such as TVs or tablets, has been updated to version 0.24.4.

Rygel is part of the GNOME stack and one of the few DLNA servers on the Linux platform. It's not the only one available, but the competition for this small niche is not a major problem. Also, please keep in mind that this is a maintenance update for the older 0.24.x branch.

According to the changelog, a circular reference that was causing the re-creation of contexts to fail has been fixed, Kodi has been added as alias to XBMC, it's now possible to compile the package with the new Vala, and a few bugs have been corrected.

With Rygel, users will be able to browse the media collection from the TV or PS3 on a PC running GNOME, and they will have the possibility to play any of said media.

Check out the official changelog for a complete list of updates and new features. You can download Rygel 0.24.4 right now from Softpedia, but this is just the source package. If you want to use this application right now, you will have to use the local repositories.
