I forget one thing, Are the mindlna and mediatomb installed in a jail?
If that's the case, they will never receive multicasts and so, never
reply, since multicasts which are not forwarded to jailed IPs. You'll
have to install them on the main machine.

I've also read this can be worked around using vimage, but I have never
tried that
