Indeed. Today I had duplicates on <Unknown>
and "MythTV AV Media Server on mythtv",
but after adding some extra debug,
of course it consistently behaves itself:

<Unknown>
viking: MythTV AV Media Server (149.135.128.77), uuid:2d11d9ba- 
f6e5-4ccc-9df7-24260a1a5dca
MythTV AV Media Server on mythtv (149.135.128.66), uuid:59753d22- 
ee37-4344-a185-e519c0dda812

I suspect something strange with the SSDP caching.





Unknown seems to be caused by looking up localhost
when there is no backend running locally:

2007-09-19 12:16:53.583 HttpComms::done() - NetworkOperation Error on  
Finish: Connection refused (1): url: 'http://127.0.0.1:6544/ 
getDeviceDesc'

At least that one should be easy to fix :-)
