+Rygel is a home media solution that allows you to easily share audio,
+video and pictures, and control of media player on your home network.
+In technical terms it is both a UPnP AV MediaServer and MediaRenderer
+implemented through a plug-in mechanism. Interoperability with other
+devices in the market is achieved by conformance to very strict
+requirements of DLNA and on the fly conversion of media to format that
+client devices are capable of handling.
+
+Note: On Slackware the rygel daemon must be started and stopped
+manually. There are controls to start/stop the daemon in the
+gnome-control-center "Sharing" panel, but these controls are hard-coded
+to talk to systemd and will not start/stop the daemon. Instead, the
+daemon can be run directly from its installed path of:
+
+ /usr/bin/rygel
