Problem with custom tags since update to V2

[Mangar]

Hi Simon,

I use MinimServer since many years. Thank you providing such a good and stable product.

Since the update to V2 I have a problem with a custom tag GROUPING. The MinimServer is used by me and my father. I hear Metal and he hears Jazz. So I divided the music library by the GROUPING tag. It look like MinimServer is not reading this tag, but it's inside the MP3 files. I also changed the content directory to this folder to test it and I just scanned this folder several times with different settings, but it doesn't work. I also put a tag TEST in the file, it also wasn't read. But also Tags like LANGUAGE are not read.

Interesting: In the file given at WriteAllTags the LANGUAGE and TEST tags are written, but not the GROUPING tag.

I use MP3Tag for tagging and I uploaded a test file for you to my Nextcloud.

MP3 file

My settings:
alphaGroup = albums=300, items=200, folder=150, artist=100, all=250
contentDir = /share/Musik/_Test
displayName = Musik
excludePatttern = *RECYCLE.BIN,bak
indexTags = Grouping:Gruppe, Artist, Date, Genre, All Artists, Composer, Lyricist:Textdichter, Language:Sprache, Conductor:Dirigent, Orchestra:Orchester, ORIGINALARTIST:Cover-Version, Rating:Bewertung, Contentgroup:Inhaltsgruppe, Compilation=1:Kompilation, #AudioDuration:Dauer, Releasetype:Typ
itemTags = METAL ARCHIVES RATING
listViewAlbums = 1
.logFile = /share/Public/minimserver.log
.logLevel = info
serverOptions = language=DE
tagFormat = Artist.displayFormat={$artist$orchestra$conductor}
tagOptions = Date.yearOnly.index, Composer.reverseName.display, Conductor.reverseName.display, Artist.reverseName.display, Artist.ignore.sort={The,Der,Die,Das}
tagUpdate = /share/Musik/tagupdate.txt
writeAllTags = /share/Musik/allTags.txt
writeTagChanges = /share/Musik/tagChanges.txt

PS: I wrote excludePattern with 3 t's, because if not a "403 forbidden" error appears when posting this message.

The iTunes Grouping field was previously written to the ID3v2.3 TIT1 frame. iTunes has changed this and now writes Grouping to the GRP1 frame instead.

MinimServer reads TIT1 and maps it to CONTENTGROUP. MinimServer does not currently read GRP1. Your sample file uses GRP1 (not TIT1) and this is why MinimServer isn't reading this information. This is the same for all versions of MinimServer.

For LANGUAGE and TEST, you need to add these to indexTags if you want to see them in the MinimServer index.

Thank you for your fast answer. Language works now and after I changed the tagging from GROUPING to a custom tag GRUPPE it works also.

I think in the past I used the custom tag GRUPPE and changed it to GROUPING in the past, but never realized, that it doesn't work - until today.

Can you put the reading of GRP1 on the roadmap for MinimServer? Would be great.

Thank you!

I agree that MinimServer should be able to read the GRP1 frame. This will be supported in a future version.
