In Ubuntu 10.10 I was using the rhythmbox-plugin-coherence package and I was happy to stream music from Rhythmbox to our internet radio box. But in 11.10 (64Bit) I can not find the package anymore, although this page claims it is in the repositories (as far as I understand). I first tried Rhythmbox 2.95 which should have a Grilo UPnP, but was not successful.
rhythmbox-plugin-coherence
So installed the plugin according to this link with Rhythmbox 2.95:
sudo apt-get install subversion sudo apt-get install python-coherence sudo svn checkout https://coherence.beebits.net/svn/trunk/Coherence/misc/Rhythmbox-Plugin/upnp_coherence/ /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plug
ins/upnp_coherence
And I also tried:
svn checkout https://coherence.beebits.net/svn/trunk/Coherence/misc/Rhythmbox-Plugin/upnp_coherence/ /home/cds/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins/upnp_coherence
But there is still no UPnP Plugin to activate in Rhythmbox (Edit>Plugins). Did anybody manage to install this in Ubuntu 11.10 or does this plugin not work anymore with the newer versions of Rhythmbox?

A debian package rhythmbox-plugin-coherence built for 11.10 can be found on launchpad (see link). However this package depends on rhythmbox <0.14 and will not run with a newer version of rhythmbox. This may not change in the future as both the coherence plugin and the debian package is not included for 12.04.
DAAP shares from Rhythmbox: We are able to share our music by defining a DAAP share from the DAAP plugin in rhythmbox (Edit->Plugins):
uShare Another quite stable solution for UPnP shares is the command line tool uShare that also works independent of a running music player. After set up with
sudo dpkg-reconfigure ushare
we can share any directory or multiple directory by running
ushare -D --name=<name_of_my_stream> --content=<path_to_mediafiles>
In case you are not so comfortable with the command line there is a GUI tool stream2ip that will do most of the work for you.
