No change for that situation, so today Ubuntu is unable to play from UPNP. Something that every smartphone, tablet, gaming console or windows computer can do with ease. Spend two days to figure this out.

- VLC: destroyed libupnp
- Rhythmbox: Crashes every few seconds by playing from grilo UPNP
- eezUPNP: Unable to play from pulseaudio changes
- Amarok: No kio UPNP slave since 2015
- Banshee: no more development
- Exaile: UPNP not supported now
- Kodi: Plugin unable to discover servers
- Totem: Plugin lost but 10 years back there was one
- Clementine: No UPNP support

Overall status, no player for Ubuntu and that's ridiculous.
