Sounds like you may be having the same problem as I am:

The advantage that you have is that yours was actually known to work at
some stage in the past.  I have unsuccessfully tried SVN revisions
14251, 14666 and 14722 although Denon 4306 support was reported to work
in changeset 14268.  Do you know what the most recent revision that has
worked with your MP101 is?  Hopefully that can provide us with a
starting point to track down the change which introduced the breakage.

I myself have had a bit of a fiddle with libs/libmythupnp/upnpdevice.cpp
to see if enabling the MediaReceiverRegistrar would help (it didn't).
The only other functional changes that I can see from changeset 14250
are:
* the code that writes out a <deviceList> for embedded devices was
commented out
* some of the protocol strings changed from "*" to "DLNA.ORG...."

Are you able to try reversing the above changes one at a time to see if
they help?
