This is still an issue in the latest release in hardy. I rebuilt the packages with UPnP support using my PPA to check this feature:

Unfortunately UPnP seems to be broken. Having the Media Server of my FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7270 enabled leads to the following debug output with no success:

upnp_intel debug: UPnP discovery started
upnp_intel debug: upnp_intel.cpp:486: DEBUG: UNHANDLED EVENT ( TYPE=7 )

After starting Rhythmbox with DLNA/UPnP plugin enabled I get this debugging output:

upnp_intel debug: Adding server 'Rhythmbox on 127.0.1.1'
upnp_intel debug: upnp_intel.cpp:746: ERROR: UPNP_E_OUTOF_BOUNDS
upnp_intel debug: upnp_intel.cpp:795: ERROR!

upnp_intel debug: upnp_intel.cpp:746: ERROR: UPNP_E_OUTOF_BOUNDS
upnp_intel debug: upnp_intel.cpp:795: ERROR!

Some playlist category entries appear but no media.

If I enable UPnP *after* Rhythmbox's UPnP server is started, the playlist is eventually (!) filled with the media tree of the FRITZ!Box.
This is strange behavior and needs fixing, don't know if in libupnp or vlc or both. No wonder why this isn't enabled at the moment. I've just seen that libupnp3 is coming for intrepid, maybe this feature could be pushed for the next release.
