I have several renderers as well as several servers in the house to
play with and I can say they all behave differently. Usually bouncing
the multicast address is the safest way to get the renderer to
*notice* a new or modified server. Most of my renderers appear to
poll the device for capabilities and listings every time I ask for
info though. I do not have any that run off of any type of cache
(verified previously with tcpdumps) which actually upset me because I
was using wireless at that time and was trying to decrease traffic..
No such luck.
