It can tell you where a device is and if that device is multicasting a stream, tell you the address and spec of the stream. Control functions seem to be left to http browser setups.

Compatibility is strictly at the RTP level. The control systems (not to mention little details like GPIO transport) inhabit completely different planets. I don’t see that changing anytime soon.
