DLNA/UPnP: UpnpError('Unsupported data type: ui8', None) with Gerbera server

[mill1000]

The problem

Gerbera is a UPnP media server forked from MediaTomb. A recent update introduced a new state variable with a data type of ui8. https://github.com/gerbera/gerbera/blob/a253e04b848e2f6a8cc2bd2ba55b5732040d85a6/web/cds.xml#L245-L248

This is a valid data type according to the UPnP Device Architecture v2.0.

The type needs to be added to the underlying UPnP client library here: https://github.com/StevenLooman/async_upnp_client/blob/57bf8ff654ac253115980b96ccd5ee6bc0ae1281/async_upnp_client/const.py#L46-L49

I'm using Gerbera as well, seeing the same issue in Logs.

@StevenLooman for your attention.

I've made a PR to async_upnp_client which should hopefully fix this issue. See the link above.

First of all thanks to your team for their hard work, this is a very useful integration. It was working fine before this, no changes or upgrades were made to Home Assistant. Show "Server communication failure: UpnpXmlParseError('not well-formed (invalid token): line 3, column 769')" on today's MEDIA-DLNA Servers-VIDEO page in Home Assistant 2022.11.5 Supervisor 2022.11.2 Operating System 9.3 How should this be resolved and what could be the possible cause of this?
