Multiple voices from rss feed

I have added a custom rss craeted by me (but I tested this also with the standard ones included with UMS) and I noticed that if I was using Twonky to aggregate the server (to be able to see it from WMP and WMC easily) after a while (5 minutes usually) it wasn't working.

I tought at the begin that it was Twonky, but I am needing it to be able to use ums from Windows media player and Media Center. After this first test, I tried to create a proxy to UMS with BubbleUPNP for Windows and here I began to notice interesting things: the second time that I listed the files with Bubble I noticed there was more than one voice for my rss channel items. I resetted UMS and the voices were exactly one for each item, but again after awhile they became two and going on... this is compatible with twonky not working, because it is deleting the double voices and (I think) if the items names in the folders are not changing it is not updating the links to them.

Just to be sure, I letted UMS go without Bubble and after one hour I opened Bubble and looked into the items list and all my rss items were duplicated multiple times.

Is there a bug? I suppose the items are there somewhere and UMS adds new voices for each item of the rss feed altough this didn't change. I would like that UMS would not change the items links if the feed items doesn't change. Is this a possible correction?

Today, I added a videostream to one of my rss items and as I was supposing, that one haven't been added more than once and after all the others began to break, it was still working, starting it from twonky.

I think when you are adding them trough feeds they are being recreated everytime with new ids over and over although data of them is not chaning. Instead adding them as as audiostream or videostream doesn't have this bad effect
