Changing text style - HardBop - 24-06-2020 08:43

I’ve added composer to track title to give for example - Trane’s Blues (John Coltrane). Is it possible to edit this to change the text formatting, by using bold, different font or size? For example Trane’s Blues in bold but John Coltrane in normal text? Thanks.[/b]

This isn't possible because the UPnP protocol only allows the server to send plain-text strings (for artist, title, etc.) to the control point. All formatting of these strings is done by the control point and the server has no way to influence this.

Thanks Simon, I did wonder if this was the case.

The best you can do is to use punctuation such as : - [ ] ( ) etc. to separate the composer from the title. MinimServer supports this using tagFormat strings. If you need help with setting this up, please post here saying what you would like to achieve.

Thanks Simon, I used brackets which nicely separates title from composer.
