#682404 is fix-commited but despite the mir approval, hupnp has not been
promoted from universe to main.  this is required for solid to be built
with upnp support.

the attached patch enables deb packages to be built with support for
upnp in solid.

i am recompiling these packages on my local machine and upnp support is
working fine in dolphin's side pane and the device notifier in the
system try.

i would put these packages in my ppa but it means bumping the version #
of kdelibs and thus i would also have to recompile all packages that
directly require kde4libs (of which there are quite a few)

you can repackage with solid support for yourself by:
cd /tmp
apt-get source kde4libs
cd  kde4libs-4.11.0
download upnp-enabled.diff to the kde4libs-4.11.0 directory
patch -p1 < upnp-enabled.diff
dpkg-buildpackage
cd ../
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

once solid has upnp support you need to install the upnp kioslave
i have packaged this in my ppa
https://launchpad.net/~carlos-demaine/+archive/ppa/+packages

this kioslave needs to get into kubuntu proper!!

overall upnp support works well for me through dolphin.  i can browse
and play media from iptv pvr, Sony xperia z, meidiatomb, minidlna
etcetera.

 amarok is still buggy but i haven't tried to debug what is going wrong
there yet.

i hope we can finally get this increasingly important technology
supported in kubuntu.
