also tested this with the nero video player (Showtime) as I cant find how
to browse the upnp server from media player, as it appears my options
differ from what the help tells me,
but Nero Showtime shows me the upnp link as
upnp://b270e746-3b0e-4239-a952-bf24bff2f413/Videos%2F0%2Fitem%2FId100003/The%20Outdoor%20Room%20with%20Jamie%20Durie%20-%20Japan.avi
but it also fails to play
b270e746-3b0e-4239-a952-bf24bff2f413 is in my settings as
UPnP/UDN/MediaServer
but there is another setting
UPnP/UDN/MasterMediaServer which is different
01a2680b-f240-4237-9620-3271dbb680fc
Are these settings ment to be the same?
Could this have any affect
