Hi,

the commit in subject is not about handling or parsing m3u playlists 
inside rygel.

This causes each container to be "transcoded" into a m3u-compatible 
playlist which
can be used in non-UPnP software or UPnP-only devices.

See if you can find a user-agent (should be visible when running rygel
with debug[1]) and add it to the "force-downgrade-for" line in 
rygel.conf
and see whether that helps.

Probably because we do transcoding.
