Unfortunately UPnP is still not working for me in VLC 2.1.5 (Win7 SP1, both under 32 and 64 bit versions). Clicking "Universal Plug 'n Play" causes VLC to crash.
While previous installs (2.1.0 - 2.1.2) automatically opened the crash report option, this does not happen after (repeated) crashes in 2.1.3 and 2.1.5 after clicking UPnP.

For me, VLC 2.0.8 is the last version in which UPnP detection works properly.

Here is a work around that fixed it for me.

There is an outstanding bug report pointing the finger at IPV6 network configuration and sure enough when I compared two different windows 7 64 bit machine the one that had the crashing issue had IPV6 protocol enabled on the wireless interface even though it was switched off.

Disable IPV6 by unticking the protocol and upnp servers can be browsed and played.
