Reinstalled files not found - Elephen - 18-08-2021 19:19
I have very little experience playing music files via UPnP. MinimServer initially recognized the albums and music files on my Synology NAS, which is running version 2.0.18-1005. When I noticed that some of my metadata was changed on an album (see below), I deleted and reinstalled that album on the NAS. For some reason, MinimServer still can't see that albums or its files. On the other hand, MinimServer sees the newest album that I added to my NAS.
FYI, as I recall, MinimServer changed quotation marks into dashes. I'd like to see a list of punctuation marks or symbols that aren't permitted in metadata. Thanks.

To see changes to your library, you need to do a Rescan. You can do this from the MinimServer configuration web page or from MinimWatch.
MinimServer does not change any characters in tag values (metadata). This is likely to be a mismatch between the character set of the data in your tags and the character set expected by your control point. The standard character set used by UPnP control points and renderers is Unicode UTF-8.

OK. Thanks for your help.
