IMO the UPnP implementation in VLC is one of the worst I've seen. Show
no feedback to the user until done _recursively browsing_ a server, not
even trying to do a search? And apparently not trusting the server's

Yes, that would be nice, but that's out of UPnP scope. Like how they
forgot multi-disc albums.
