feature request
First of all, thanks again for the great work! Smile

My feature request, use the "custom" tag section in UPnP xml "Description" section. Insert ALL (or all tag specified in minimServer UserTag field) tag info (tag pair values) of a song in the UPnP xml info. The purpose is so that a Controller which looks for those info section, can get all the tag value of each song.

I'm asking is because I'm talking a friend into writing a Controller app which shall get all the tag value of each song, then let user custom their browsing layout, grouping style, and search on all tag etc.

And I just found out that on a generic UPnP server, the ACTUAL tag pair value in each song has NO direct relation to the song info returned by a UPnP request! For example, the "Discnumber" tag info is NOT available to a controller. A Controller can ONLY list the track order presented by server, as is. That is just DUMB! For example, some server likes to rename track number to 101 for first disc and 201 for second disc. Some like to modify the album name to "xyz album (disc 1)"/"xyz album (disc 2)", and also that crazy XBMC which list track in track title instead of track number...

If there is a UPnP server which can return all REAL tag pair in each song, then a Controller can be designed to let user freely browse the library in whatever user preferred style...
