Thank you to bubbleguuum for his swift intervention. I should like to take this opportunity of thanking him for the enjoyment I get from using the Bubble DS app.

I'm not qualified to discuss the technicalities. Clearly, there are complications, as I suspected. I hope that, between them, Simon and bubbleguuum can find a means of addressing this issue. As I said, I don't think that it's a huge problem in practical terms, but I believe that, for some potential users, it may have presentational importance.

The underlying philosophy of DNLA seems to be that the user interface has to be impoverished (and dumbed down) in the interests of consistency, reliability and minimising the costs of user support. Applications like MinimServer and Bubble DS, which use a wider range of UPnP features to provide a much richer user experience, challenge this approach. The combination of Bubble DS and MinimServer currently provides this richer experience in the smoothest form of all the applications I have tried. Any presentational glitch (even where there is no major functional problem) will too readily persuade users that UPnP-based apps are inherently difficult and unreliable, and that would be a pity.
