From the XBMC FAQ:
Can I run XBMC from my PC to my TV using DLNA/UPnP?

Shortcuts: #DLNA, #SmartTVs, #UPnP

No. XBMC is meant to be ran on a computer/supported-device that is directly connected to the TV by a video cable. XBMC is not meant to be a server for other devices.
Some files can be shared from XBMC using the built-in UPnP server (meant for sharing files to other XBMC devices), but only files scanned into the Video library will show up, and XBMC will not transcode any files, so only file formats that your TV/device can natively playback will work. However, none of XBMC's interface, add-ons, or special features will work.

So it is not a DLNA playback device.

Mezzmo includes an XBMC device profile. Many Mezzmo users stream video, music and photos to XBMC media player running on PCs in their home rather than streaming to Windows Media Player (WMP).

Mezzmo does not have an XBMC add-on.
