On balance my Marantz control app for ios displays much better with minimserver than the native synology media server, however ... unlike the DSM media server which displays an alphabetical column alongside the listed contents of the folders (albums/artists etc) that allows you to jump to any alphabetical point in the list, this is missing when using minimserver. This means the only way to get to an album starting with Z is to scroll through my whole collection :-( Is there any solution to this problem?
Many thanks,
Richard.

This column is displayed by the control point, not the server. It will only be displayed if all the entries in the list are in strict alphabetical order.

Hi Simon,

Many thanks for the response :-)
Please excuse my lack of comprehension - I'm still trying to get to grips with how the various elements interrelate.
All the entries are in alphabetical order under the relevant search criteria folders (Artist, Album etc.) The display and options on my Marantz control point are quite different between using DSM media server on the Synology and Minimserver (also on synology) Using DSM media server with my control point there is an A-Z grid/list to the right of the screen that allows you to click on a letter and skip to the relevant point in the alphabetic list of displayed media. Using minimserver with my control point this is not available and the only way to get to any media beginning with Z is to scroll through my entire collection. Do you have any suggestions?
Many thanks for your time,
Richard.
