It took me a while to figure out the UPnP thing. If I had carefully read this MAFW-UPnP-Control-Source notification sooner, I would have saved myself a few hours:

I was then wondering how many UPnP sources Nokia's mediaplayer could handle; so I fired up 9 of them. As you can see, it looks like 8 is the limit. I've witnessed these UPnP sources displaying icons, but I haven't searched this out yet. Without me having to look through code, if anyone knows how to get those icons to display, please share.

Also, as a mediatomb FYI, you have to make changes like this if you want mediaplayer to see your UPnP vorbis - ogg files. At the moment, I can't find the link that explains this, but it has to do with mediatomb defaulting the mime-type to application/ogg, and mediaplayer only handles audio and video or something.

Code:
      ...
      <extension-mimetype ignore-unknown="no">
        ...
        <map from="ogg" to="audio/x-vorbis+ogg"/>
        ...
      </extension-mimetype>
      ...
      <mimetype-contenttype>
        ...
        <treat mimetype="audio/x-vorbis+ogg" as="ogg"/>
        ...
      </mimetype-contenttype>
      ...
And lastly, if anyone wants to know how to run 9 mediatombs on their linux box, I can share those notes later, but everything starts with something like this:

Code:
sudo ifconfig add eth0:0 192.168.6.66
