Show composition in heading/control point
Hello,
I am in the proces of reorganising my classical music collection again.
I am running Minimserver on my Synology NAS and use Kazoo on my Android phone.
I would like Kazoo to show Composer, Work, Title (as in part of work) in stead of the name of the album and the Titles as at present. I have these tags assigned to the files. I have Work marked as a Grouping.
The question now is how do I get Kazoo to show this?

RE: Show composition in heading/control point
MinimServer sends various properties specified by UPnP to the control point and the control point decides which of these properties to show. MinimServer cannot make the control point show different properties but you can configure MinimServer to change what is in the properties that it sends.

For example, you could configure MinimServer to put Composer and Grouping tag values in the "album" property that MinimServer sends to the control point by setting the tagFormat property to the following:

Album.displayFormat={$composer^$grouping^: ^}

This mght cause issues with how albums are displayed when browsing. If you only browse by composers and works, this shouldn't matter.

This is just an example. You could also customise the "title" property if you wish.

RE: Show composition in heading/control point
It seems Grouping is not accepted:
Album.displayFormat={$composer^$grouping^: ^} gives this error message :

Incorrect tag name 'grouping' in option 'Album.displayFormat' in property 'tagFormat'

You need to mention Grouping tag in indexTags or itemTags too

This gives this error: Item tag name 'Grouping' is listed in indexTags; correct highlighted value and retry.
I now managed to see the work and the title in het heading of Kazo with Title.displayFormat={$work^$title^: ^}

For works that have only 1 part I use Title.default={$work}, Work.default={$title}but this gives an error message.

Sorry, first a question why I get an error
Incorrect tag name 'work' in option 'Title.displayFormat' in property 'tagFormat'Title.displayFormat={$work^^^$title^}, which used to work.

I do have a WORK tag, See pictures!

RE: Show composition in heading/control point
You need to include Work in either indexTags or itemTags (see previous posts).
