Hi Mark,
thanks for your help.
I'm afraid we haven't tested dLeyna with a Onkyo/Samsung device, although

Where you able to see anything useful from my tcpdump?
Can you name some devices you test ("streaming-to") against so I can see if
I can get one to test against?

Ah. So DLNA certified devices are not expected to work without it (meta
data) at all? My understanding is that this functionality (streaming) is
not in UPnP specification at all....

However, it looks like this functionality really belongs into
renderer-console, especially as you say that renderer.open_uri cannot work
at all as it does not provide meta data, and
the purpose of renderer.open_uri_ex is to make use of it...?

That would be great and simply things for me quite a bit. I think I'll wait
for this to be updated before I start working on them - can you please let
us know when you may be able to commit this update?
Thanks,
Andrej
