 The DLNA support has been working fine with two different Samsung TV's and
 Skifta Android application until the commit:

 commit ef72dc4aeef10ae0c9f2c3ecc16074d8fef5b4de
 Author: Stuart Morgan <smorgan at mythtv.org>

      Remove definition of m_pHttpServer from MediaRenderer and use the one
 in the base class, UPnP

 After the above commit, the older 2011 model Samsung doesn't even list the
 mythbackend as a DLNA server anymore.

 The commit below was the one that caused also the newer 2013 model Samsung
 TV to
 start malfunctioning. After the below commit, the newer Samsung lists the
 mythtv backend as a DLNA server, but the TV fails to see any files.

     UPnP: Refactor various parts of the code

     The way we build the object tree has changed allowing for a tree depth
     greater than one. e.g. Genre > Artist > Album > Tracks.

     The number of queries required to build results has been significantly
     reduced which should improve response times.

     XBox and WMP 11 specific hacks have been disabled. In part to allow
     users of these systems to test new UPnP behaviour, but also because
     these non-upnp compliant bits need better segregation from
     the core code.

     Searching and sorting has been disabled because the existing
     implementation was incomplete and broken. This will be finished and
     re-enabled soon.

     There will be bugs, if you absolutely depend upon UPnP then please
 hold off
     updating for a little so I can fix issues found by wider testing. Of
     course if nobody tests UPnP then issues won't get found ...

 Although the Android app BubbleUPnP works even with the latest Trunk
 versions a good test app has been now discontinued Skifta android app,
 which seems to work & fail quite the same way as the Samsung TV's in this
 household.

 A quick search found the following links for the skifta app, although it
 has been deprecated from play.google.com during this summer.

 Skifta is unable to see the current trunk master version of the
 mythbackend DLNA server at all, exactly like the older Samsung TV.
