Rating tag index
I really like Minimserver and it has the potential to be the best upnp server out there !!!!

Got a question about the rating tag index. I want to use rating to distinguish music I like and less like in a large library (2000+ albums).

I use Jaikoz (mac version) to add a rating to a combination of m4a, flac and mp3 files. These music files are stored on a Synology nas. In the properties of Minimserver I have added "Rating" to index. The problem is that not all rating is indexed and displayed correctly in either plugplayer, kinsky or chorusds. For some songs the rating shows correctly others don't show at all.

I analysed it a bit deeper and found out it works great for flac files. I looked with mediainfo (installed on the synology nas itself) at the actual tags and I see a "Rating" tag (for example 60 for 3 stars in Jaikoz). Plugplayer and the other controllers show the exact number (e.g. 60).

But it doesn't work for the m4a files. Mediainfo shows "rate" and "RATING MM" but no "Rating" tag. I tried to solve it by adding "rate" to the index tags in the properties of Minimserver but that doesn't help. The rating of m4a files is not indexed and shown in plugplayer (and others).

How can I successfully index the rating tag on all my music, independend of codec used?
