  Yeah, it's already on my todo list but I was more thinking of
merging (and adapting) code from libdlna to gupnp-av to replace the
existing DLNA PN guessing code. The author libdlna has also shown his
willingness for this.

  You mean which part handles these requests? rygel-seekable-response.vala

   Oh? I'll try it tonight and fix that if it helps me as well.

   Hmm.. I recall i used to use it. If you could try it out and let me
know if it works better, I'll start using it. Although, I dream of
autopluging encoders and even muxers. :)
