Here are lines from my 'history.'
192.168.0.5 is the laptop.
See lines in the log like:
UPNP Browse : Searching for : Music  / ObjectID : Music/0

  ./fetch-mythtv-upnp.sh 192.168.0.5 Music/0
  ./fetch-mythtv-upnp.sh 192.168.0.5 RecTv/0
  ./fetch-mythtv-upnp.sh 192.168.0.5 Videos/0

I didn't see any references to a Philips device in your log.
Can you find any ddd.xml files, which list device capabilities?  My TV 
has nrc/ddd.xml for its remote and dmr/ddd.xml for its renderer.

If I leave the  upnp log running it periodically refreshes things like

SSDP Cache adding USN: uuid:upnp-InternetGatewayDevicexxxxxxxx
and
UPnpNotifyTask::SendNotifyMsg : 239.255.255.250:1900 : upnp:rootdevice : 
uuidxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
but in the sample I'm looking at now I don't see any thing from 
Panasonic;  I've seen it somewhwere...
