Control point display

[Cebolla]

Richard,

As a (temporary & slightly klunky) get around, you could get most of the main music category folders in the top level to repeat themselves at a lower level, from a tag field that you are not currently using in any of your music files, taking advantage of the recursive nature of MinimServer's folder structure.

You can surface this previously unused field to the top level as an index field by creating a dummy music file with that one tag field (and no other tags) set to some dummy value, copying the file to where the rest of your music files are stored and adding the field to the list in MinimServer's indexTags property.

Entering the field using a control app should present you with two subfolders: one displaying the dummy value for the tag field set in the dummy music file, the other displaying '[unknown]'. Entering the [unknown] folder should display the repeated main music category folders.

MinimServer allows you display an index field with a different name, so you can choose a more user friendly name to display in the top level. For example if your unused tag field is the MARANTZCTRL tag, adding 'MarantzCtrl:My Marantz Music' instead of 'MarantzCtrl' to the list in the indexTags property, would display 'My Marantz Music' instead of 'MarantzCtrl' at the top level in the control app.
You could also make the access to the '[unknown]' folder a bit more user friendly by setting the dummy music files's tag field's dummy value to something meaningful like 'Ignore - use [unknown] to access Marantz Music'

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Just in case you can't make the dummy audio file for yourself, I've attached a ZIP file containing one for you. It's a FLAC file with no playable music data and has the one tag field mentioned, MARANTZCTRL. Don't forget to add 'MarantzCtrl:My Marantz Music' to your tag indexes in MinimServer's indexTags property for the above to work.
