  08:28 < jdstrand> Laney: question for you-- just otoh, can you think of a reason why dlna wouldn't work on xenial in rhythmbox any more when it has the same upstream version as wily (and the Ubuntu delta didn't have any relevant changes), grilo is the same as wily and grilo-plugins only has one irrelevant change over wily?
  08:29 < jdstrand> (it the dleyna code in grilo that handles this afaik)
  08:30 < jdstrand> Laney: the dlna server just doesn't show up any more (but daap still does)
  08:33 < jdstrand> I have both forked-daapd and minidlna exporting <music>
  08:33 < jdstrand> and rhythmbox used to see both on wily. on xenial, it only sees daap
  
  This may be a bug in grilo or grilo-plugins since, AIUI, it is the
  dleyna code in grilo-plugins that handles this. It appears that grilo
  relies on dleyna-server and dleyna-server isn't able to find the server
- any more. I tried on a separate wily install to see if it would work and
- it wasn't able to find it.
+ any more. I tried on a separate wily install and it wasn't able to find
+ it.
  
  Coming up with a reproducer was more difficult than I thought it would
  be.
  
  1. minidlna server setup
  $ sudo apt-get install minidlna
  
  Adjust /etc/minidlna.conf to have:
  media_dir=A,/path/to/some/music/files
  
  I believe everything else can be left as defaults.
  
  2. rhythmbox setup
  $ sudo apt-get install grilo-plugins-0.2-extra rhythmbox-plugins dleyna-server
  
  stop and start rhythmbox
  
  go into Tools/Plugins and check Grilo media browser
  
  This was all I needed to do initially for it to start working. Now it
  now longer works. Android devices and 'kodi' from Ubuntu can find and
  use it fine. Using d-feet and going to 'com.intel.dleyna-server' and
  into com.intel.dLeynaServer.Manager and looking at 'GetServers' returns
  nothing. Looking at Rescan() triggers traffic (as seen with tcpcump)
  with the server (ie, there are responses). Looking at an strace of
  /usr/lib/dleyna-server/dleyna-server-service shows it got a response
  from the minidlna server. I guess the problem is in dleyna-server. There
  is a new upstream version (0.5), but it is newer than what is in Debian.
  
  Apparently minidlna is installed in Netgear devices and other places and
  is quite popular.
