From this reply, I presume you do want separate indexes and you don't want to send the OriginalDate value to the control point. In this case, I think the simplest solution is for MinimServer to allow indexValue.yearOnly to be applied to any tag in indexTags, without overloading this with any other semantics.

Your presumption is correct

Quote:The indexValue and indexFormat options control what appears in the MinimServer index, and they don't affect what XML data is sent to the control point.

The displayFormat, displayRoles and display options control what XML data is sent to the control point, and they don't affect what appears in the MinimServer index.

The sortValue and sortTags options control the sort order that MinimServer uses for index lists and lists sent to the control point.

Many thanks for helping me to understand this! I'm not so familiar with the mechanics of the UPnP protocol, so sorry for my basic questions.
By 'what appears in the MinimServer index', do you mean how the data is handled internally in MinimServer and not seen by the user? Can you provide an application example for the indexFormat option?
