MinimServer Forum

Hello
Trying to get the most out of the excellent Minimserver, this excellent forum have planted some ideas that I would have never thought of...

But: I don't get any composer images, however Artist and Genre works flawlessly. I am using @Reinibert tip in: [url=https://forum.minimserver.com/showthread.php?tid=5062&pid=31744#pid31744]/url]

That works fine, but no composer images are displayed when using the tagUpdate file. I have tried to change the image folder name from Composer to COMPOSERSORT2 but that didn't work...

Have someone tried this?

My indexTags: Artist, Date, Genre, All Artists, Performer, COMPOSERSORT2:Composer, *RecentAdded, *RecentPlayed, #AudioQuality:Quality

My tagOptions: Album.sortTags={+Date, Album, Artist}, Date.yearOnly.index, all.ignore.sort={The}, -Album.ignore.sort, COMPOSERSORT2.reverseName.display.index

What filename are you using for the composer artwork image? Is it the reversed name (Ludwig van Beethoven.jpg) or the tagged name (Beethoven, Ludwig van.jpg)?

I am using the reversed name. I just tried with the indexed name of the image file but that didn't work either. I got indexArtwork=all btw.

I have tried this using the following settings:

1) indexArtwork property set to either folder or all

2) tagUpdate file contains the following:

@COMPOSER=Beethoven
@COMPOSER=Beethoven, Ludwig van [composer]
@COMPOSER=Beethoven, Ludwig van [author]
@COMPOSER=L. Beethoven
@COMPOSER=Beethoven, L.
@COMPOSER=Beethoven, Ludwig van
@COMPOSER=Ludwig van Beethoven
@COMPOSER=Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827)
@COMPOSER=Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)
+COMPOSERSORT2=Beethoven (1770-1827), Ludwig van

3) audio file contains a Composer tag: Beethoven

4) indexTags contains COMPOSERSORT2:Composer

5) tagOptions contains COMPOSERSORT2.reverseName.display.index

6) indexArtwork folder has a subfolder COMPOSERSORT2 containing the file: Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827).jpg

With these settings, the expected image is displayed for the entry 'Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)' in the Composer index. The name of the artwork file needs to match exactly including spaces and parentheses.

YES! Thank you Simon! It works perfectly! Thanks again! Now to rename all the images in the folder…

Cheers

Hello

Old thread resurrection...

Updated MinimServer and TrueNas and got this error in the Minim log:

Warning: index artwork subfolder 'indexArtwork/COMPOSERSORT2/' does not match index tags

It seems that COMPOSERSORT2:Composer in indexTags is the problem; when I remove the :Composer line it displays composers correctly under the COMPOSERSORT2 tag.

However, I would like it to display Composer like it use to. Where to put COMPOSERSORT2:Composer?

Cheers

This has changed in MinimServer update 264. If a tag name is translated or substituted for viewing in the index, previous versions of MinimServer used the original tag name for the tag-specific artwork subfolder name. In MinimServer update 264, the name displayed in the index is used for this subfolder.

In your case, this means you need to rename your COMPOSERSORT2 subfolder to Composer so that it will work as expected with MinimServer update 264.

Thank You, it is working now!
