 - What kind of interface is Rygel running on (WiFi vs. Ethernet)
 - Which versions of GSSDP and GUPnP are you using?
 - Which Android controlpoint are you using?

There might be several reasons for this. If the order of starting is
important, it's most likely that the device either did not receive the
M-SEARCH responses or did not like them, but had no problems to
receive/like the initial service announcement. Hard to say without a
packet capture.

No, it does not. You would need to hook somewhere in the UPnP callbacks
and trigger the entry for the user I suppose.

Wouldn't it make more sense to allow the controlling instances
individually as e.g. WMP does?
