I have a setup with OpenHAB 2.5.3 running with a Samsung TV UE32ES6300 connect via WiFi. However I cannot get it to fully work reliably. I have turned on the debug messages and the binding does not find all offered UPNP services:

The media renderer service is found, but this only gets me information about brightness, color etc., but not about the selected program, source etc.
There are two more services offered via UPNP, which are RemoteControlReceiver and MainTVServer2, which should supply the necessary channels. When I initially set up the binding via PaperUI, the MAC address was not initialized, so I added this by hand. Afterwards those two services were found and everything was fine. But now, when I turn the TV off and on again, the services are never found.
These are the log messages from the single time, when it worked:
