Scrobbeling composer instead of Artist - clasch66 - 21-11-2012 20:25
Using Minim 0.63 SkrobbleDS is sending the composer Tag to lastfm instead of the Artist Tag. Crosschecking the Same Song with twonky Works Fine. Can that be solved by the upnpComposer property somehow?
Cheers Claus

That's interesting. I moved the order of these tags in DIDL-Lite because WD TV Live was choosing the last one in the list as the real Artist. From this report, it seems that SkrobbleDS is choosing the first one in the list as the real Artist.
You could change the upnpComposer property from 'artist' to 'author'. That should solve this problem, but it would also mean that Kinsky isn't aware of any Composer information.
In the next release, I'm planning to add a new property 'artistRoles'. When I do that, I'll include the capabilty to control whether the real Artist comes first or last in the list.

This indeed made it work. Composer can still be browsed by Kinsky!

... but wait a minute, could be a frontend issue, mobile lastfm seems to behave different as the internet one. I'll check ...

No, not (only) a frontend issue, indeed your workaround made it work correctly!
Thanks!

With upnpComposer set to 'author', you'll be able to see the Composer index when browsing in Kinsky, but Kinsky won't display Composer information in album or track listings.

Ah, OK. I can live with that.
