    Éric Fleming Bonilha Actually, UPnP has two protocols: one for discovery of devices (SSDP, uses UDP) and one to access device functions (SOAP over HTTP).

    Yep, I checked the code and we send SSDP messages over UDP to discover devices and HTTP to get device information.

    We just needed to find the devices and show to the user, so we stopped there, and it works just fine :)

    But of course using the APIs would be much easier, but can you confirm if the API is not available on Windows Server?
