My personal opinion is that using djmount to "mount" a UPnP AV/DLNA Media Server is not a very useful function.
It seems all too easy for the recursive-descent processes internal to moOde to get bogged down because of the way the Media Servers present information "as if" there were many different directories on the server which don't actually exist.
These pseudo-directories are based on each Media Server's notion of indexing based on metadata. The same file may be reached by tracing many different paths through these pseudo directories so it ends up being counted many times. In graph theory these are referred to as "closed loop" problems/ They're fun in graph theory; in software, not so much.
Maybe one could poke a figurative thumb in the eye of the Media Server indexing process but then a true UPnP AV/DLNA Control Point would be unhappy. Seems like a Catch-22 situation.
