The long story you can read here: https://coherence.beebits.net/wiki/NokiaN95 In a nutshell it's due to a flaw in the Symbian UPnP stack, that doesn't react on UPnP v2 devices, which Coherence announces itself as default. I'm trying to find a solution for this, unfortunately limiting Coherence to v1 isn't a good one, as that interferes with other things we are working on. :-/ The whole idea behind UPnP is "that these damn things work", so if that Symbian stack would follow the spec only a ' little bit' more, you would happily browse and control Rhythmbox/Coherence via UPnP. Re your question about copying things from the Nokia to the UPnP MediaServer, there are methods in the ContentDirectory service there, that allow creating and importing of media objects - music, images,... The Nokia phones are actually one of the first consumer devices, that unveil these methods to a broader audience. What a shame they fail on such a basic level. :-( It seems to be fixed in a future versions of S60 3rd, but I have no idea if that will be available for our 'older' phones. Ciao, dev I can now tell you a bit more why the N95 doesn’t work together with Coherence.

The whole idea behind UPnP is “that these damn things work”, so if that Symbian stack would follow the spec only a ‘ little bit’ more, you would happily browse and control Rhythmbox/Coherence via UPnP.
