Multiple value delimiter

Multiple values are separated by a NUL character and this is written by your tagging program. Some tagging programs (for example, Mp3tag) use \\ in their user interface as a separator for multiple values and write a NUL character in the ID3v2.4 file in place of the \\. In this case, MinimServer is seeing the NUL character in the tag value, not \\.

If Emby is writing a / character into ID3v2.4 files to separate multiple values, this is incorrect and will not work with a server that implements the ID3v2.4 specifcation correctly, such as MinimServer.

Hi there, just started with Minimserver this morning, so still finding my way around... however, this is indeed a most live issue, so to speak.

Have been "correctly" tagging my files since forever, and settled on using the "|" character to split multiple "Artist" or "Albumartist" tags.

At least according to the server share as seen on Windows 11 (25H2) it seems to find that all of my albums which have e.g. "Rosemary Clooney|Duke Ellington" listed as "Album Artist" (as defined by my tagger) are albums which are "[uknown]"

It would be something akin to a disaster were this not addressable in some manner... so if I could ask: is "|" an acceptable character for Minimserver? And if not, can I edit something in one of the Linux files (where the server is hosted) to allow this character to be used? Usually there's a file somewhere that can be messed with?

Or is this a matter for the renderer? I have a Cambridge Audio MXN10 arriving... so this could just be Windows and the server?
