rhythmbox plugin grilo no longer discovers UPNP media share

[Jason Moore]

In Ubuntu <=22.10 the grilo rhythmbox plugin automatically discovered a UPnP media share from my Synology Network Attached Storage device on my local network. When I upgraded to Ubuntu 23.04, rhythmbox no longer detects the media share.

I've confirmed that the share is detected on a computer with 22.10 but not on two computers with 23.04 (all on the same LAN). I've also confirmed that VLC media player detects the share on the Ubuntu 23.04 computers.

I first posted a report here, thinking it was due to an update on the NAS:

I then opened this issue on Rhythmbox's bug tracker:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/rhythmbox/-/issues/2047

I expected Rhythmbox+Grilo to automatically discover a UPnP share on my local area network when on Ubuntu 22.10, but it does not discover the share.
