UPnP library not seen by other UPnP devices - RatTub - 2012-09-30

The UPnP server doesn't seem to be working for me and I can't figure out why.
I've enabled the "Share video and music library through UPnP" option.

Code:
cat .xbmc/temp/xbmc.log | grep upnp

returns the following:

Code:
14:26:08 T:7331696  NOTICE: starting upnp server

14:26:08 T:7331696  NOTICE: starting upnp renderer

and nothing to indicate that something is wrong even with debugging enabled.

I am running version 11.0 on oneiric

Any ideas?

Thanks

I found this post http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=133277

But I wonder if minissdpd is a vital part of a UPnP system?
From what I uderstand, minissdpd manages the incomming UPnP connections so that if there are more than one UPnP servers running on the same machine, it will handle that.

I currently don't have any other UPnP servers running on my xbmc machine, but I might change my settup in the future. Could this cause any problems down the road?
