Thanks, I appreciate the problem report and I'll definitely fix it.

The 'Hide Contents' selection is not intended for users. It's only there for recursive Browse requests from control points. The MinimServer user guide doesn't make this clear, so I'll reword the relevant sections to clarify this.

However, I'm glad you tried this out, because in the process you found a bug that needs to be fixed.

cheers, winxi

It's like walking a tightrope and keeping a delicate balance between providing improved user functionality (one one hand) and staying compatible with the UPnP specification and existing control points (on the other hand). There are inevitably a few corner cases that don't work, and the UI isn't as clean as I would like. You could think of it as a working prototype for some advanced features that will hopefully become standard in the next generation of servers and control points.
