That is an issue described in the faq. Your system time is either older 
than
the date of the installed tempalte files or the home directory of the 
user
running rygel is not persisted during reboots.

Semi-correct. Given a UPnP controller that supports it, you can create
playlists on the server (when running on MediaExport and I have not seen
such a controller in the wild). There are patches for exposing on-disk
playlists for Tracker and MediaExport, but both need some love.

-p on connmandline or port=.... in config
