Surely if the ability to expose the Add-ons via UPnP, all the way down to seeing the titles to the videos... then shouldn't we also be able to play those videos via a UPnP client that's browsed to that directory?
It doesn't look like that works, or at least most of the sources I've tried simply fail at the playback stage - the Apple Trailers and CBS News add-ons are a couple examples that fail in slightly different ways - I see one report an error while the other simply allows clicking on the video with nothing actually playing. This is while using XBMC as a UPnP server and another instance of XBMC as a UPnP client (both 13 beta 3 or 14.0 alpha 1)... though I'm hoping to use another UPnP client in the future - if it doesn't work between XBMC instances, it's probably not going to work for anything.
So is there any hope of this being addressed/fixed?
Thanks,
