MinimServer Forum

I'm running MinimServer on my Synology DS212j. Currently I have a simple folder structure for my albums like this. Basically two user are storing their music on the NAS.

On my smartphone I would like to either browse the music of each user seperately or browse all the music of both users. The tree should look like this:
Is there a way to customize MinimServer like this?

To do what you want using MinimServer, you'll need to change from folder browsing to tag browsing. The tags would be Artist, Date, Album, and Title.

For browsing content from multiple users, you need to add an additional tag named User with values 'userA' and 'userB'. All the music for userA would have the User tag set to 'userA' and all the music for userB would have the User tag set to 'userB'.

When you start MinimServer, you'll see a list of choices:

albums
items
Artist
Date
User

By selecting 'albums', 'items', 'Artist' or 'Date', you'll see music for all users.

If you select 'User' and then 'userA' or 'userB', you'll get another list showing the choices:

albums
items
Artist
Date

Now when you select any of these choices, you'll see only music for the user that you selected previously.
