Track Artist Missing On 0.61

[Hayden]

Hi Simon,

I have MinimServer installed on a QNAP to stream music to a WDTV Live. On previous versions of MinimServer when I played a compilation album with Album Artist tagged as 'Various Artists' the Track Artist would be displayed
like so on fw 0.52:
   
With fw 0.61 it now only displays the Album Artist:
   

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,

Hayden

P.S.
The new user guide is excellent, thanks.

I think this is related to a change that I made to fix a similar issue when using Kinsky as the control point.

In 0.52, MinimServer sends the control point Artist information only. In 0.61, MinimServer sends the control point both AlbumArtist and Artist information. It looks like WDTV Live is interpreting this AlbumArtist information as Artist information.

MinimServer is currently sending the Artist information first, followed by the AlbumArtist information. It might be possible to work around this WDTV Live issue by sending the AlbumArtist information first and the Artist information second.

I'm away from home at the moment and I won't be able to send you a test build with this change until I get back in about a week's time. If this change doesn't resolve the problem, I'll need to add a new property to control whether or not MinimServer sends AlbumArtist information to the control point.
