Where can I get started writing a media server in C# like PlayOn http://www.themediamall.com/playon

UPDATE:
I have learned that PlayOn is a is a DLNA/UPnP media server but I am still looking for C# example implementation of this type of server. I am placing a bounty and will award it if you can point me to some sample code that I can use to server photos and/or video content to a media client like XBOX 360, Playstation 3, Media Center, or Media Center Extenders

Answer 1

After more research I have learned that PlayOn is a is a DLNA/UPnP media server. There is not lots of information on it but there are a few. If anyone can reference an example that would be awesome.

here some links I found after discovering I was looking for DLNA/UPnP

Answer 2

This question may also help point you in the right direction.

Specifically the accepted answer point to the Platinum UPnP library. Whilst it's a C++ library, it looks promising and i'm sure it could be integrated with a C# solution or at least give you ideas for your own implementation.
