Special tags not indexed

Thanks for these clarifications. See my comments inline below.

OK, apologies for the misunderstanding.

TIPL is the name of the ID3v2.4 frame. Frame names are not the same as tag names. Frame names should not be used in the indexTags property and have no effect if they are used. You could include INVOLVEDPEOPLE in indexTags but this will not work with .mp3 files because Mp3tag is mapping this name to the TIPL frame and MinimServer is not reading this frame. If you were doing this with a .flac file, INVOLVEDPEOPLE would be read by MinimServer.

Quote:I knowed this because of other of your replies in the forum. But I had the same problem with 30'000 files as well. For testing purposes I didn't look at the menu in the control point. I used the writeAllTags-Property instead, which produced the allTags.log.txt-File I attached to my initial post. I suppose, that in this file all the indexed values should be written, even when they are same between the two files in my test content directory.

This is the right way to do it. Thanks for clarifying.

Quote:In the following list you'll find all the tag names, which I added to indexTags and got not indexed. In bold font is the name from Mp3Tag and in italic font the corresponding one from HEX. As I wrote above I added both to indexTags:

1. COMMENT SONGS-DB_CUSTOM2 Songs-DB_Custom2
2. Involvedpeople TIPL
3. Rating MM and also Popularimeter POPM
   

If it helps I could also send you the two mp3-Files in a personal message.

MinimServer maps the COMM frame to the COMMENT tag but does not map the content description Songs-DB_Custom2. This is because there is no standard mapping (i.e., a consistent mapping that is widely supported by converter programs and tagging programs) for the content description.

MinimServer doesn't map the TIPL frame. This is because there is no standard mapping for this frame. MinimServer maps INVOLVEDPEOPLE information encoded in a TXXX/INVOLVEDPEOPLE frame but Mp3tag does not support writing this frame.

MinimServer doesn't map the POPM frame. This is because there is no standard mapping for this frame. MinimServer maps RATING information encoded in a TXXX/RATING frame and Mp3tag supports writing this frame.

MinimServer maps any tag name that appears in an ID3v2 TXXX frame. However, not all tagging programs support writing tags in this format, as the example of INVOLVEDPEOPLE shows. A workaround would be to use a different tag name for this information (for example, INVOLVED_PEOPLE) and use the aliasTags property in MinimServer to map INVOLVED_PEOPLE to INVOLVEDPEOPLE.
