	DLNA also allows for MediaMonkey to be remotely controlled via a 'DLNA Control Point' (e.g. a DLNA control point running on an iPhone to control MediaMonkey remotely) and/or for the audio output from the control point to play via MediaMonkey (e.g. if MediaMonkey for Android is configured to output its audio to the MediaMonkey for Windows renderer). These scenarios are most useful in cases where MediaMonkey is connected to a larger set of speakers, and you wish to play/control audio from a smaller device such as a phone.

	MediaMonkey ~~allows~~ you ~~to stream~~ your library content to other UPnP / DLNA devices such as Televisions, xBox 360, PlayStation 3, and many BlueRay players.		MediaMonkey has a DLNA server that lets you share your library content with other UPnP / DLNA devices such as Televisions, xBox 360, PlayStation 3, and many BlueRay players. MediaMonkey also contains a DLNA renderer so that DLNA control points can play the audio stream coming from another DLNA player such as MediaMonkey for Android. Finally, MediaMonkey can output it's audio to another renderer, useful in cases where you e.g. want to share the audio with a Stereo system that's hooked up to a larger set of speakers.

MediaMonkey allows you to stream your library content to other UPnP / DLNA devices such as Televisions, xBox 360, PlayStation 3, and many BlueRay players.

== Streaming over UPnP / DLNA ==

#Go to '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Library''' > '''Media Sharing''' (or right-click on '''Media Servers''' and click '''Share Media...''') and check off 'Enable media sharing (UPnP/DLNA)'

#Define your security settings.  By default, servers are shared with any DLNA device on your local network.  You can:

::{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="1" style="width: 700px; height: 24px;"
|-
|
Be aware of the following issues when enabling external access: 

*Security options are fairly limited.  MediaMonkey can only restrict access by IP address, although you can further restrict access using your router.
*You'll need to enable Port Forwarding on your router to forward the Port# displayed on the UPnP/DLNA Server tab to the machine running MediaMonkey.
*You'll need to configure the DLNA client to connect to http://<Network IP address>:<Port#>/DeviceDescription.xml
|}

Once you're done, Click 'OK' in the Media Sharing dialog, and then 'OK' in the 'Options' dialog to accept the changes. You should be able to browse the shared content from your MediaMonkey library from other DLNA devices. 

If you're having problems sharing your library, try setting the 'IP Port:' on the 'UPnP/DLNA Server' tab to '4000'. That will cause the server to be browsable directly from within MediaMonkey to help you debug any problems.

DLNA also allows for MediaMonkey to be remotely controlled via a 'DLNA Control Point' (e.g. a DLNA control point running on an iPhone to control MediaMonkey remotely). To enable this functionality, enable 'Allow control of MediaMonkey player via UPnP/DLNA.
