Trick to get real DIDL-Lite xml

Dump those of your MediaServer by patching gupnp-av-cp

• Get the sources within the gupnp-tools package https://git.gnome.org/browse/gupnp-tools/
• Edit ./gupnp-tools-0.8.10/src/av-cp/renderer-controls.c
• Line 300, retrieve the function named set_av_transport_uri()
• Add at the beginning: printf("\n%s\n\n", metadata);
• Recompile, run-it, click on the media of your MediaServer
