Someone know how to get this working?

It works out of the box. If you don't see any UPnP shares then it's most likely due to one of these reasons:

(1) Your WiFi router might not support routing UPnP broadcast messages properly or has this feature disabled.

(2) Your UPnP media share could be located behind a firewall that does not let UPnP broadcast messages pass.

(3) The UPnP media server could be bound to the wrong network interface if the computer has several network connections.

(4) Your UPnP server may be restricted to only talk to certain devices. This can be configured on the server.

UPnP uses SSDP as a broadcasting protocol. Basically every UPnP device shouts into the room "I'm here" after MediaBox shouted into the room "Who's there?". For some reason your devices don't hear each others' shoutings.
