Remarks

The XML returned lists the capabilities of the server in the attributes of the MediaContainer element. Each attribute corresponds to a specific capability, and the status of that capability. There isn't actual documentation on each attribute, so the list below is a best-guess at what the values represent.

The attribute values correspond to the the following:
