I am a newcomer on minim server, but as an aged user of JRiver DLNA server (which I am also using as a Songcast source on my Linn system) I am missing the Recently added option on minim server content discovery in order to highlight latest additions to the music library: is it a missing option for anyone else ? Or is it there a smart workaround to this that I did not figured out ?
I apologize if this question was answered somewhere else in the forum but after a fast search I could not find any relevant match on this issue.
Thanks to anyone willing to help.

I added a field to all my files as I'm tagging them called TAGGINGTIME. I think you can make up a name for this field, I just chose one that is somehow considered part of the standard.

The entry in this field is YYYYMMDD (20161201 for example) - it has to be eight digits. I only use the first day of the month because it saves me from having too many folders - I end up with 12 each year.

Unfortunately, the ability to add custom fields is only found in MP3TAG, which is Windows only.

In Minimserver properties I've added the following: "-Taggingtime:Date Added" to the beginning of the indexTags field. The dash at the beginning means it will sort in reverse order (20161201, 20161101, 20161011, 20160901, etc.) The :Date Added part means it will show up in Kazoo as Date Added. It drills down exactly as any other indexTag will.

Great hint, thank you. I use BubbleUPnP (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp) as Controller and Renderer on several devices, but together with MinimServer it lacks the option to show recently added albums. Lumin does it, perfect.
