With raspbian? I can possibly try to check on monday, I have a Pi3 at
work.

Can you share a debug log? Also, is the device not discoverable at all
or is just he final HTTP streaming not working?

That's really weird. Which distribution? Only thing I can imagine that
you're missing network-manager when e.g. being on Fedora because then
Rygel will only find the "lo" device. That shouldn't happen on Debian
derivates, though.

No, looks pretty complete.

Not really. But note that album art extraction will not work due to a
bug/feature of libmediaart if there is no session DBus (767959)

_Maybe_ the XDG directories. But if you configure the URLs to extract
directly (without the @-placeholders) it should be fine.

It definitely works without GNOME, I have it running on a Pine64 here.
