How to choose the tags displayed on the controller when displaying songs - Bunbury - 04-09-2014 22:25

Hi,

I can make the control point display the tags I want when FILTERING by tag my songs.

BUT when I'm done filtering, and I ask the list of items filtered, how can I choose which tags are displayed in the list ? Same question for playing now.

Thanks

Why do you still want to see tags when you have finished filtering? At that point, you can add your chosen songs to your control point's playlist and the control point should display song information in its playlist and on the Now Playing screen. Can you give a more detailed example of what you want to do?

Ok I realize it is not clear Smile

Let me explain:

Filtering:

Repeat
display list of tags
choose one tag
display list of values for selected tag
choose one value
Until I'm satisfied

Then the list of songs is displayed. But how can I customise how this list is displayed. Currently, there's only Artist Album and Song that are displayed for each item in the list...

Same for the "Playing Now" screen...

???

Take a look at the Tag formatting section of the User guide. This allows you to include any tag value in the standard fields that the UPnP protocol allows a server to send to a control point (Genre, Artist, AlbumArtist, Album, Title, Composer).
