I'am a new MinimServer User from Germany and installed yesterday the new Version 0.70 on my QNAP-SS439 System and Linn Kinsky on my iPad.

The main point is the possibility to see multi-disc albums better than with twonky.

The Installation was very easy and after trying some things in want to ask some questions:

- It is possible to "translate" the first two lists from "x albums" to "x Alben" and "x item" to "x Titel" by adding some parameters?

Not in the current release. This is a planned future enhancement.

Quote:- I added a "AlbumArtist" view instead of Artist view to see only the "main" Artists. It worked perfect. But now it would be great to only the album list by name with an automated added date or two lists: one by name an one by year?

You can add a year to the album title by using the tagFormat option. You can use the Album.sortTags setting to choose whether to sort the album list by name or by year, but you can't switch between these.

Quote:- its is possible to hide the folder view

Not in the current release. This is a possible future enhancement.

Quote:- I tried to add "Date" to the tagOptions, but i get only an Error.

Please describe exactly what you tried to add, and what the error message was.

Quote:- And for last: When starting Songbook '11 i could see the Minim Server as a possible Device, but after selecting I see an "empty server"

I believe this is a known problem with Songbook '11. MinimServer works well with Songbook Lite.

Quote:It would be great to get some feedback, because for me the minim Server could be perfect.

Thanks very much!

Hi Simon,

thanks for your quick Answer.

You asked for the error message:

in "tagOptions": Album.sortTags={Album, Artist} - this seems to be the standard configuration and it works

trying to use: "tagOptions": Album.sortTags={Date} makes the following error: incorrect tag name 'Date' in option 'Album.sortTags' in property 'tagOptions'


You says that it is possible to add the Date to the album name, i read the documentation but "i stand on the line" and perhaps you could give me an example how to do this.


thanks a lot, hahni
