John,

I'm not really sure what you are trying to do, but the mythtv plex plugin
will probably not show up on DLNA, because it shows up in the channels
section of the plex server. I'm not sure if the channels section show up in
DLNA.

However plex as a server for DLNA is ok. It doesn't give to much
information unfortunately, but is ok. You should be able to run several
uPNP servers on the same server on different ports, because the DLNA
clients do an autodetect (hence plug and play).

If you are running the mythtv plex plugin, then you don't need upnp support
in mythbackend, because you are using the webapi on port 6544 instead.

Regards,

Andréas
