VLC Android 3.5.3 shows local network items multiple times

When looking at the local network section, it first finds some entries, e.g. SMB servers/folders or UPnP servers. When I click the app away and go back to my phone's start screen and go into the app again through the task manager, it seems to scan again for the drives and adds them despite them being listed already.

That leads to duplicated entries.

As I've used the MediaDiscoverer in libVLC before: I did see this before that a started, stopped and started again MediaDiscoverer lists the same servers again even though they are already in its first entries. Maybe a reset() method should be used for MediaDiscoverer after the values are transferred into the UI. Or a check if the entry is already in the list.
