Synopsis

The service_adv_lsd driver provides local network broadcast service advertisement using the simple Library for Service Discovery available at http://interreality.org/software/servicediscovery. Clients can link against this library as well, and listen for service advertisements. The LSD library should be built and installed before building Player. Note that there is no client proxy in Player for this device: use the LSD library.

The service URL will have the form: player://host:port
