The implementation included in 0.20 has only been tested with the devices
listed in trac. It's not a totally compliant implementation yet, however,
if you are lucky enough to have a device that does "just work", you will be
able to do the following:
* Browse and play recorded TV shows.
* Browse and play Music.
That is all the features currently available. I am planning a more complete
upnp stack as well as more features. However, as I stated in a previous
e-mail, it may take some time before I can do more work on it.
Any help coding and/or testing is always welcome.
