I was looking at getting a UPnP media device, but ended up getting an apple TV because of this issue. Sorry that I'm not much more help.

UPnP servers for Mac include the following

Elgato EyeConnect see http://www.elgato.com/index.php?file=products_eyeconnect
Allegro Media Server see http://www.allegrosoft.com/ams.html
TwonkyMedia see http://www.twonkyvision.de/
MediaTomb see http://mediatomb.cc/
Cidero (Java) see http://www.cidero.com/radioServer.html
Cyber Media Gate (Java) see http://www.cybergarage.org/net/cmgate/java/index.html
PyMedS see http://resnet.uoregon.edu/~gurney_j/jmpc/pymeds.html
Philips Media Manager see http://misc.philips.com/streamium/us/streamiumpmmdownload.html

Of these EyeConnect is by far the most popular and easiest to use. TwonkyMedia is probably the second most popular choice.

There is a demo version of EyeConnect you can try.
