UPnP Control Prototype

After a full day of hacking (including a couple of updates to libraries, SDKs, and OS patching) I have got a (f'ugly) application that;

1. looks at my network for UPnP devices
2. finds those that look like Sonos zones and puts them in a dropdown
   
3. queries the queue of the selected device and displays back meta data
4. displays the album art of the current track

I have learnt a whole metric ass-ton about;

• Xcode
• Objective C pointers
• XML Parsing in Obj C
• UPnP
• Cocoa garbage collection
• Initialisation ordering in Cocoa

Tomorrow I am going to see if I can cross compile and port it onto the iPhone and then it's really going to get complicated when I start implementing the control operations. Oh and of course I will have a whole new GUI framework to learn. again.
