📄 Description

Remove link between DLNA and upnp.

UPnP does the port forwarding on the router by using SSDP broadcasts. DLNA does similar.

A link was placed between these to subsystems to speed up network device identification. This however, caused a loop whereby DLNA would pick up a device, and pass it to UPNP which would send out a notication, which DLNA would pick up and pass back to UPNP which would send out a notification. (Rinse and repeat) As each notification consists of 2-3 broadcasts, so the result is an exponential network flooding.
