There's no polling in UPnP, we receive multicast packets from all
devices on the network.  Devices send out announcements every once in a
while to let others know where they are.

Yeah, so anything that even connects to the WMC web server will appear
here, try it from a web browser and see.  It just defaults everything
to unknown.  I suppose a fully-compiant device that advertises itself
as a media renderer will let WMC pull these details, but we don't do
that and it doesn't seem to really matter anyway.
