Question about Group tag and track renumbering

I have now the understanding that the track renumbering is only for sorting but track numbers are not passed to the control point, and if I want to see the original disc and track numbers I have to include them myself in the group name or track title, e.g. by using Group.displayFormat={$Group^$DiscNumber^ [Disc ^]} or Title.displayFormat={$DiscNumber^^.$TrackNumber^^: $Title}.[/size]

Is this correct?

MinimServer uses the UPnP protocol to send track numbers to the control point. This information is sent for both groups and tracks. If you are using track renumbering, the track numbers sent to the control point won't match those in the booklet because they use a single increasing sequence for the complete album. If you use displayFormat to send track numbering information, the numbers will match the booklet because the $tracknumber and $discnumber entries in the format string are replaced by the original tagged values.

Unfotunately, most control points don't display the track number that MinimServer sends for a group. You can use Group.displayFormat if you want the group entry to include a track number. The track numbers for the tracks within the group should be displayed correctly by most control points.

The UPnP protocol doesn't support sending disc numbers to the control point, so the only way to display these in the track information is by using Title.displayFormat.
