Windows 10 cannot discover a DMS server

[h31]

Hello!
While Windows 10 shows a DMS server in "Other devices" list in the settings app, it doesnt' show it in Explorer window. It means that DMS is totally unusable with Windows 10 as a client.

Symptoms are very similar to this issue:

I've tried the recommended solution and it doesn't work for me.

I've launched a sniffer to find the reason of the issue. Windows successfully fetches a device icon but doesn't fetches content list after it. Maybe Windows needs com:service:X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar implemented?

Thanks for investigating this. It's quite possible, this seems to contain the necessary implementation details for com:service:X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar? https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff632510.aspx. Would you like to submit a PR?

I believe a service will need to be added to the services var in dlna/dms, and a UPnPService implemented for it. I can help in a few days when I have access to a Windows 10 machine.

Hi, anacrolix!

I'm not totally sure that UPnP Authorization is the root of the problem. I've just compared packet captures for DMS and MiniDLNA and noticed that MiniDLNA exposes X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar service. After that I googled a little and found that several other DLNA implementations expose this service too.

I can try to implement this, but I will be busy next week and won't be able to seriously dig into the code.

Thanks, I might give it a go this week.

@h31 can you try #86 ?
