difference between flac & wav when using 'Rating'

[mv70]

If I had followed my own logic a bit further I could simply add additional text to the 'tagupdate' parameter which converts the wav file '5' to '5 Stars', '4' to '4 Stars' etc. This works fine and now all flac & wav tracks using the standard 'Rating' tag appear in the same group.
However, the 'Rating' tag setting for mp3/m4a is not being picked up, so any advice on this point would be great, thank you. I continue to use a custom tag for these file types.

However, this is seemingly interpreted differently accordingly to file type by the time it appears on control point (I typically use Linn Kazoo OR Lumin). I have Bubble UPnP with minimserver on snyology.

I've read the minimserver instructions re use of the 'Rating' tag field, but I'm afraid I don't get it.
Setting the standard Rating tag through Kid3 I get the following results;

1. flac files (vorbis) rated with 5 stars appear in a group called '100', 4 stars as 80 etc. on the Kazoo/Lumin. I found the reference to changing these 'number' groups to for example groups called 5 Stars, 4 Stars etc using the tagupdate parameter. This works fine for flac, but ignores wav & mp3/m4a.

2. Wav files (ID3v2.3) rated with 5 stars (through Kid3) appear in a group called '5', 4 stars in a group called '4' etc on Kazoo/Lumin.

3. For MP3/M4a the standard 'Rating' tag causes the track to be lost from the the rating scheme on the control point.

I was trying to move away from my own custom tag just in case things change in any element of the 'end to end' system, but it seems I need to return back to my custom tag (using the minimserver aliasTag feature) as the only way to achieve a uniform result for rating tracks across all file formats.

Is there a standard way to tag different file formats for track rating and for them to appear in the same rating group in the control point?

thank you.
