Windows DLNA player / renderer / client

The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a non-profit organization established by Sony in mid 2003. It is responsible for defining interoperability guidelines to enable sharing of digital media between consumer devices such as computers, printers, cameras, cell phones, and other multimedia devices.

There are many DLNA servers available in market both in paid and freeware segments. However, there are very few DLNA player/renderer/client (DMR) which can be remotely managed by your smart phone. So if your PC/laptop is hooked up with speakers then from your mobile phone (as remote) you can play any music/video/photos.
