Late version SVN builds have shown a bug on my setup with accessing remote UPNP / DLNA movie shares, especially those shared with mediatomb.
I have been unable to track down if it is the fault of mediatomb or XBMC, but I can report that with 9.04.1 and with not as recent builds (read: before I upgraded my machine to ubuntu 9.10 and got the latest SVN build for it) the access was fine.
The symptoms of this bug are that the initial playback starting of a movie shared with mediatomb is really really slow. It can take around 10 minutes to start playback. When playback starts, though, it plays fine.
I have found that movies shared with uShare exhibit a similar symptom, but not to the same degree. I do not know if it is the same bug.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I can report that using the Coherence plugin to Totem does not give the same behavior (movie start is not extremely delayed).
NOTE: I am not at home right now, but I will try to post detailed debugs and possibly wireshark logs and/or UPnP-Inspector (http://coherence.beebits.net/wiki/UPnP-Inspector) info and/or Cidero (http://www.cidero.com/) info if it will help.
