selecting 'Hide Contents' may crash MinimServer

That's the reason I reported this - to help you making MinmServer even more stable. I personally will avoid selecting 'Hide Contents' in the future.

A control point such as BubbleDS could work around the MinimServer workarounds, as you're suggesting. It would be even better for server authors and control point authors to collaborate on adopting agreed extensions to the UPnP specifications so that these workarounds aren't needed.

I totally agree and I understand that it may be challenging to be bound to the UPnP specification when designing such a great application.

cheers, winxi
