Can MinimServer make Naim 272 display Composer tag? - haggis999 - 22-01-2017 20:57
I am checking out a Naim NAC-N 272 network player and have noticed that it suffers from a common problem that afflicts most players. The Naim's own display and the Playing Now page of the Naim app are optimised for pop/rock rather than classical music.
The default display seems to be the Artist, Album and Track tags. The Composer tag is nowhere to be seen (though it is present on all my FLAC files). Is there a clever trick with MinimServer's TagCustom setting that can fool the DLNA renderer into using the Composer tag in place of the Artist tag?

Setting tagFormat to Artist.displayFormat={$composer} should do what you want.

Thanks for rapid response, Simon. That change appears to have fixed my problem.

Simon,
While we are talking about MinimServer tweaks for tag substitution, can you please remind me which of the settings in my current configuration result in one of the standard tags (Album title?) being substituted by my custom 'Work' tag. I set this up two or three years ago and have totally forgotten what everything means...

It looks like Work:Group in aliasTags is doing this. For information about your other settings, see this page.
