My guess is that this is a networking problem that is because of the OpenVPN connection.
UPnP-AV devices and players discover each other via UDP broadcast messages. I expect that when the plugin is restarted it sends out a broadcast message to announce its presence. However, I would also expect it to send one out periodically. Perhaps that period is too long to be useful in your set-up. In theory the player should also send out a message to announce its presence ... but perhaps OpenVPN is not relaying that though to the internal network. Telling the player the IP address of the UPnP server gets around the issue.
