Yes, and that's why our UPnP support (note that we don't support DLNA because we don't have a license for DLNA nor have access to the specs) is so hit-and-miss. Every time someone makes a change to fix an issue on one device, it breaks 3 other devices, so we haven't been inclined to change it much. I'm hoping, eventually, someone will decide to incorporate an external, and actively-maintained, UPnP library, such as Platinum UPnP ( <a href="http://www.plutinosoft.com/platinum" target="_blank">http://www.plutinosoft.com/<u></u>platinum</a> ).<br>
