In Media Center no, I can't even work out where I might try to find 
videos or photos from a UPnP!

In Media Player however, I've somehow managed to add my mythtv upnp 
box.  All my recordings (and annoyingly videos) appear under the Video's 
section.  However I have a number of problems with it:

1. all videos are included - I prefer to keep the split of TV and videos 
as it is in Myth, mainly because most of my Videos are "junk" clips from 
years ago!  So maybe that's my own fault...
2. deleted recordings are included
3. there seems to be no way to order things by "recorded date"
4. the titles seem to be title + subtitle + description
5. everything shows up twice!?
6. when I play something back it sometimes gets the wrong audio channel, 
and I can't work out how to change it.

But, it does play!  Which is more than it did last time I tried it, and 
seeking works ok by moving the position slider.

I'm also running a 0.22 backend on Gentoo fwiw.

Robert.
