Hi Andrej,

The only thing I noticed from the tcpdump is that you are not providing 
the DMR with any meta data when calling open_uri.  As I said in a 
previous email this may be the problem as the DLNA compliant DMR might 
require this information to play the file.  But I'm only guessing.

Do you mean the devices we use to test the GST-Launch plugin?  If so we 
have never tested this.

mediaconsole is for discovering, browsing and manipulating DMSs and 
rendererconsole is for discovering and manipulating DMRs.  As the meta 
data is provided by the DMS you need to use mediaconsole's get_meta_data 
method to retrieve this information.  It's an XML document.  Once you 
have it you can use rendererconsole's open_uri_ex method to pass this 
XML document to the DMR.

I've submitted some pull requests but they haven't been integrated yet. 
 You can take the new functions directly from my pull requests if you want.

https://github.com/01org/dleyna-renderer/pull/63

As, an example of their use

>>> manager = Manager()
>>> root = manager.renderer_from_name("XBMC")
>>> root.print_props()
{
    "CanControl": 1,
    "CanGoNext": 1,
