But my view is that this is not a discsubtitle and thereforenot using it for its standard purpose, if it was correct the I would just do the same.

Any user can put anything they want into any field. MinimServer doesn't have any view on whether the value that the user has specified is "correct" for the field. The standard purpose of the DISCSUBTITLE field is to provide a string that is shown in the control point to identify the disc, and MinimServer is using it for this purpose. MinimServer does not infer any special meaning if this field happens to contain "Disc 1" or "Disc 2", etc.

Quote:My approach was to better support MinimServer in the same way that I write MinimServers GROUP field because there is no standard field that exactly matches the requirement of the MinimServer GROUP field. But your showDiscs property would work even better, so if you are considering doing this that would be a good solution.

I think we have a different opinion on the "requirement of the MinimServer GROUP field" (see above). I will start a discussion thread about adding a showDiscs property or option.
