Outdated? 2020...

Since DLNA got quite popular during the last two years i'd like to humbly ask if the repos can be updated easily to support current versions of python, Debian, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint by the current maintainers.
Maybe a short notice in the readme.md about whether pulseaudio-dlna is still the first choice to gain DLNA-playback on a system level might be helpful. Thanks!

@blausand I would consider making bugs in the upstream repos and linking back to this one.

You can find here the commands to build (the forked version) on Linux Mint 20.1.

Afterwards you would have to add the path of the built files to the path variable

echo "export PATH=\"$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH\"" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

When this is done, you can start and use the project via the following commands

pulseaudio-dlna
pavucontrol 

I hope this helps.

Yeah, thanks. Probably i could do that. But people out there wouldn't follow as we all know.
In order to survive as a solution, this has to become a no-brainer IMHO.
Today, we see DLNA as the open standard threatened by Airplay and some other proprietary alternatives.
Let's vote for packaging pulseaudio-dlna with the vanilla installation to promote the open standard.
