Architectural Overview

The Sender service indicates the presence of and provides information concerning an Openhome Sender.

An Openhome Sender broadcasts music on a network in a way that is playable by an Openhome Receiver.

Openhome senders should be discovered independently of the standard algorithm for discovering Openhome products and sources. An independent search should be made for devices bearing the Sender service.

A Sender can be played using an Openhome Receiver.
