IMHO, this is still one of the "missing" pieces of the mythbackend....
Good UPNP/DLNA stream with device awareness/transcode support. A good
client like the Patriot Box Office can play 100% of the content the
backend hands out... sadly not all clients are that smart... half the
UPNP/DLNA devices in my house run into content from the backend,
often, they can't play natively. Would be nice to be able to have the
backend be device aware, and offer content the client COULD play.
