Cidero - UPnP Control Point and UPnP Bridge Software
A growing number of UPnP A/V-compatible MediaServer and MediaRenderer devices are becoming available for the networked home. To date, control of these devices is most commonly accomplished via a UPnP control point embedded within a MediaRenderer device and driven by an infrared remote. In some situations, such as browsing large media collections, the infrared remote control-based UI can be inconvenient, and when a PC is available, a PC-based remote control capability can be preferable. The Cidero UPnP Media Controller is a Java-based, cross-platform solution that addresses this need, providing support for browsing and playback of digital music, photos and movies.

And for Poo, if he ever reads this - here is (apparently) a plug-in for Windows Media Player to read UPnP devices and take the data off (which hopefully would include video, sound and images…P maybe not images). On2Share.
