VLC UPNP Discovery Slow - I beg it's Fixed

[leegold]

Hi,

I'm using latest VLC versions and also trying the nightly development versions. But a problem still exists. I also realize this a know bug too.

It's that if there's a big collection on a UPNP server VLC will take a huge amount of time to fully render/show the servered folders/files. Another UPNP client might take 20 seconds, but VLC might still be cranking after 10 minutes. As I said this is a know bug. It's only apparent with a big collection.

I would like to take this opportunity to BEG it gets fixed. Please someone with the programming skills please fix it. I've spent a few days trying UPNP clients on Win7 (sorry I mentioned an OS). Either they are too big and top-heavy or they are buggy, or they only play audio, or they don't provide a folder view, or a combination of all problems cited. There are no choices IMO I tried them all.

If this one thing was fixed there would be a light weight fast UPNP client playing audio and video.

IMHO Thanks.
