tagformat - Once again

[simoncn]

My apologies for the delay in replying to this.

The following tags are sent to the control point as metadata properties and can be customised using displayFormat:
Album
AlbumArtist
Artist
Comment
DiscSubtitle
Genre
Group
Label
Title
Rating
any role tags specified in the upnpCustom property

Some tags that are sent to the control point as metadata properties cannot be customised using displayFormat:
Date
TrackNumber

I will add this information to the User guide.

Album.indexFormat is a valid option but it doesn't do what you are expecting. The "n albums" list is not a MinimServer tag index, so indexFormat can't be applied to the cointents of this list. Thie option could be used if you create a tag index with the name Album.

Album names are sent to the control point using two DIDL-Lite metadata properties:
1) the dc:title property of a DIDL-Lite musicAlbum element
2) the upnp:album property of a DIDL-Lite musicTrack element

These are set to the same value and this value can be customised using the Album.displayFormat option. It would in theory be possible to make a change in MinimServer to enable setting these to different values but I am very reluctant to do this because it feels wrong and it might cause problems with some UPnP control points.

Regarding your other suggestion of making a track list appear directly underneath a selection from your ALBUMM index, this is likely to cause problems because the ALBUMM index (like all tag indexes) contains generic DIDL-Lite containers, not DIDL-Lite musicAlbum containers. Most control points have special treatment for DIDL-Lite musicAlbum containers (displayed in a nicer format, having a simple way to queue all tracks for playing, applying album artwork, providing information about the albums in your library) and some or all of these features would almost certainly not work correctly if generic containers were sent to the control point by MinimServer instead of musicAlbum containers.
