My MinimWatch is 2.2 and was installed ( for my old Melco) in 2023. Although I can see an active "green" MinimWatch icon in my Win10 task bar i I open it I am not seeing any acceptance dialogue and if I select "Configure" I am not taken to the configuration page but to a Welcome Page.

The Welcome page is step 2) as described in my post #2 above. You should select "Don't show this page again" and click OK to go to the main configration page (Status tab).

As your full license has already been activated on the N5 (I have checked and can confirm this), you can skip step 3) and go straight to step 4).

Quote:Output from MinimServer is viewed via dCS Mosaic ( which simply reflects MinimServer ). Although Mosaic confirms that MinimServer is available, when selected I only see album Tiles as a single list A-Z. No default browsing options are offered ( they were with the old Melco) such as Composer, Artist, Genre, Date etc.

On the Server subtab of the Properties tab, you should see that the indexTags property is set to this value:

Artist, Date, Genre, All Artists, Composer, *RecentAdded, *RecentPlayed, #AudioData, #AudioFormat

These are the browsing index selections you will see when browsing using Mosaic. You can add more by editing this list. Because you are using a Melco, you can also select Classical, Jazz or Rock/Pop from the Melco front panel for custom lists tailored for different types of music.

Quote:I added two configuration options to the old installation using coding (as it was done in the day). These were to make navigation of browsing categories selectable by single alpha character tranche instead of a huge list A-Z . I added display of track numbers. Unsurprisingly these configurations are no more.

To enable alpha grouping for all indexes while browsing, set the alphaGroup property to the value 'all'. To add track numbers to the track titles displayed by Mosaic, set the tagFormat property to this:

Title.displayFormat={$tracknumber^^. ^$title}
