I am pretty sure this behavior did not occur in previous minimserver versions (but I found no way of reinstalling a previous version to be 100% sure).

It is easy to revert to a previous update to verify changed behaviour by doing the following:

1) In the Packages tab of the Properties window, type the name of the previous update name in the 'Other package' field (for example, to revert to update 35, type minimserver-0.8-update-35)

2) Click Install and follow the prompts to install the update and relaunch MinimServer

Quote:Track metadata of m3u playlists were reported identically to the way they were when navigating through folder view or index tags. This indeed makes sense, since a playlist just points to files holding tracks, and the metadata should not be reported differently simply because the track is identified in a playlist.

This is an intended change to the previous behaviour. If you use the optional #EXTINF tag to specify a title, the #EXTINF title is used when you are viewing the playlist. If you want to see the original title in the playlist, you should omit the #EXTINF line or omit the #EXTINF title or change the #EXTINF title to the title you want to see displayed.

For example, you could use:

#EXTM3U
C:\mu\flac\A Sei Voci\Allegri- Miserere; Messe Vidi Turbam Magnam; Motets\01 Allegri- Miserere a 9, version avec ornamentations baroques.flac

or

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:873,
C:\mu\flac\A Sei Voci\Allegri- Miserere; Messe Vidi Turbam Magnam; Motets\01 Allegri- Miserere a 9, version avec ornamentations baroques.flac

or

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:873,Allegri: Miserere a 9, version avec ornamentations baroques
C:\mu\flac\A Sei Voci\Allegri- Miserere; Messe Vidi Turbam Magnam; Motets\01 Allegri- Miserere a 9, version avec ornamentations baroques.flac
