Can MinimServer abused as Picture Server - PackElend - 20-08-2017 15:17
Hallo,
does MinimServer exif format to read out the tags of picture files?
In that case I could setup a lightweight picture server with custom playlist (presentations) depending on the tags set in the Synology Photo Station.
thx
stefan

MinimServer is a music server only, and cannot be used with image libraries. For still images and videos, you typically need a multimedia server, which will have somewhat basic capabilities and display only a limited set of tags
There are certainly image 'servers' that handle tagged sets of images somewhat in the way that MinimServer deals with music files, but they tend to work with local libraries, and to be associated with image editors and/or image display programs of some kind.

merci; was just hoping
I'll keep on searching, since Synology's media sever has only basic futures
