1. browses through his music by folder to get to an album

3. expects the entire album to play
4. Is too dense to figure out how to do this in Minimserver?

Just as a recap: I use an Ipad to go into OPPO Media Control app, then select Minimserver and drill into the folders. Should I browse via a different path after I select Minimserver?
When I just click on Diskstation from within the OPPO Media control app (instead of clicking Minimserver) and do the same folder browse, the entire album plays from the first track I select going forward. I am trying to achieve the same thing in Minimserver.

1)no: hardly ever use FolderView.
2)yes.
3)yes.
4)don't think there is anything to figure out.

I think it depends on both app and streamer.
The Cambridge Audio SM6 streamer did work this way about 4years ago in combination with the former (IOS) StreamMagic app.
Just select an album (not influenced by the way you browse through Minim)click and play (like a CD).
This app did have some disadvantages, it was incredible slow and not quite reliable.
Nowadays, several Firmware updates later and in combination with the CA connect app an album first gets queued and user can choose to: play a track, entire album now,album next,add album to queue or replace queue with album.
This approach has resulted in a reliable much faster app but I personally think it is less user-friendly.
And guess what, selecting an album with the "old" app and click ,it just plays one track!!!
