I ran the magpie4 upnp tool.  magpie.log looks as if it may well list 
the full claimed capabilities of my upnp devices but produces files with 
very long lines.  I got a more readable version by

sed 's/,/,\r/g' magpie_panasonicE5.log > pan.log
sed 's/<argument>/\r<argument>/g' pan.log > pan2.log
sed 's/<name>/\r<name>/g' pan2.log > pan3.log

For example:
http-get:*:video/mpeg:DLNA.ORG_PN=MPEG_PS_PAL;DLNA.ORG_FLAGS=8d100000000000000000000000000000,
http-get:*:video/mpeg:DLNA.ORG_PN=MPEG_PS_PAL_XAC3;DLNA.ORG_FLAGS=8d100000000000000000000000000000,

More grep-fu needed.
