Minimserver, upmpdcli and MPD. Album booklet?

I have used MPD (mainly in conjunction with ncmpcpp and MPaD as clients) for about three years and I am very happy with its stability and sound quality.

But its hard-wired, non-customizable system of tags is almost unusable for classical music. With Minimserver, upmpdcli and MPD, I have now managed to set up an ideal music server. Thanks to all developers of these great products!

There is one open issue: when directly controlling MPD via MPaD (iOS), I can open the booklet of the currently playing album on an iPad (MPad relies on an HTTP server for displaying cover art and booklets, I have an HTTP server running on the same machine that runs Minimserver, MPD and upmpdcli). On a Debian laptop, I can run a simple script to fetch the booklet of the currently playing item.

Is there a control point for iOS compatible with Minimserver that supports opening the booklet of an album? I have checked Linn Kinsky and mconnect and both do not appear to support this functionality.

Thanks, nbpf

PS By the way, mconnect also does not apper to support gapless replay: it sends single files to the renderer instead of full playlists!

Welcome to the MinimServer forum!

I don't know of any UPnP control point for iOS that can display an album booklet. Perhaps other forum users might be able to suggest something.

I believe BubbleUPnP on Android supports this but I haven't tried it myself.

If you find a solution for this, please post it here.
