What can i say?

I have try a lot of applications to serve as dlna servers, Plex, Kodi, and a lot of other software i don´t know the name of everyone of them mess up something or another thing and my only problem has been the "last.fm scrobble" that i really care about and have to be done from the phone!

The "Plex" as you can pay for mess up your cover "i have a network player" whit an "lcd screen" that can show the cover so i like to see it even if it don´t really matter.

Another thing "Plex" not do well is to load every track i have its around "2,000" so it not that much but it can´t handle it maybe it some setting i don´t know maybe same whit the cover but it mess it up by default and the tracks only count to "30" as it load them in on demand while other like this as the list already!

Kodi works perfect in many cases but something it mess up is the metadata when you play from playlists and then the "scrobble" won´t work and is just the way the "API" for "Kodi" is right now it is works around for this but not any good one what i understand!

After a lot of search and try of different softwares around 10 or so i got a tip of this software and just installed it and been told it has a very easy interface, and that's for sure! But you know what? It does what it intend to and it does "almost" everything right!

And don´t talk about the playlist you can create on it, i have never ever thanked it was that easy to make it! And yes i still use "Winamp" and have done so for the last 15 years i just open it edit the list add the track i needs save the m3u in playlist folder in my root folder and everything just works what more can you ask for? I am speechless!

Have an application that beat both the hell out of "Kodi" and "Plex" is not a small achievement!

Quote:So first of all i will take opportunity to say thanks for the awesome work!

Quote:So to my question, in my application on the phone i can see the fallowing information

"1398 ALBUMS | 2026 ITEMS | 2 PLAYLISTS | ARTIST | DATE | GENRE | [FOLDER VIEW] | LOCAL PLAYLISTS"

Quote:Is it possible the change the way this is show up? As i would like to have it like this?

"Albums (1398) | Tracks (2026) | Playlists (2) | Artist | Year | Genre | [Folder view] | Local playlists"

So know we have only make the first letter in "upper case" and the other ones in "lower case" as it will automatic be more easy to read that way. I have also change the place on the "numbers of entries" to after instead of before as it also make it more easy to read as well as the "round brackets" makes it a lot more easy to read.

Quote:Next step is to customize it even more, as i have seen when i switch between the server/local device i use on the phone to read the information from that the output change in the list. So it has to be made from the "MinimServer" itself, the way i would like to change it know is the numbers you see everywhere as stats is always nice in my opinion so why not make it optional to all of the entries or the one you like to have it on?

"Albums (1398) | Tracks (2026) | Playlists (2) | Artist (x) | Year (x) | Genre (x) | [Folder view] | Local playlists (x))

Quote:The step after that would be to customize the name for every entry so we can set it like we want to be or maybe automatic? If "Artist" only has one entry it shows "Artist" but if it has "2" or more it automatic show "Artists"

"Albums (1398) | Tracks (2026) | Playlists (2) | Artist (1) | Years (5) | Genres (20) | [Folder view] | Local playlists (2)"

Quote:Change name on the "Folder view" would be nice to "Folder view" as it would fit in more and don´t care about the "|" i just have them here to make it more easy to read and show that it separated.

"Albums (1398) | Tracks (2026) | Playlists (2) | Artist (x) | Year (x) | Genre (x) | Folder view (1) | Local playlists (x)"

Or

"Albums (1398) | Tracks (2026) | Playlists (2) | Artist (x) | Year (x) | Genre (x) | Folder views (5) | Local playlists (x)"

Quote:And last but not least make it more easy to read the numbers that would be something like this

"Albums (11,398) | Tracks (2,026) | Playlist (1) | Artists (100) | Years (20) | Genres (20) | Folder view (1) | Local playlists (2)"

I have try to provide as much information as i can in this post, maybe to much but its better to be more clear the to unclear i think and i also know that its a lot of way to customize stuff once you inside the actually view when you in some "upnp" player so why not ask?

Maybe it already possible, maybe it easy to add the features what do i know?
