Thanks, but unfortunately these does not give enough insight to the nitty gritty of the operations.

Does this link (followed from the SO link) not give enough info?

While this is ok, it's only for Windows and not crossplatform.

I've always found other languages to be a good source of inspiration, in recent years especially Python. So this here https://www.electricmonk.nl/log/2016/07/05/exploring-upnp-with-python/ looks like a promising start.

 

Maybe we could turn this into a community project?

there are some problems in UPNP with cross platform.

 

1. UPNP is a network protocol, a device that supported UPNP is monitoring at UDP port 1900. We can implement it by using TIdUDPServer.

 

2. But, Windows system implement UPNP device, so, system has used UDP port 1900, our code can not open UDP port 1900. On windows, we must call windows API to use UPNP.

 

3. In other system like Android, iOS, maybe we can implement UPNP protocol by using Indy.
