Metadata with XBMC and UPnP

I've been using XBMC on a Raspberry Pi for a while now (OpenELEC) viewing content from Serviio running on an iMac. All is good. (Prior to that I used Serviio with a PS3 and Xbox 360)

Up until now I have been watching stuff from Serviio over UPnP using the "Folder" category but have just switched to using the "Series" and "Movies" categories which are much nicer. The only problem is that XBMC only seems to display the title and cover art and doesn't display any other metadata such as plot/description, cast or anything else. If I run XBMC as a server on the iMac and use that to serve content via UPnP (ie use XBMC instead of Serviio) the extra metadata is displayed.

Is there a way I can get XMBC to display all the metadata from Serviio?

You will have to talk to XBMC team, Serviio sends the data. Looks like they only implemented it for their protocol, and not UPnP

Cool, that's what I figured but I just wanted to confirm.
