I was reporting on the BubbleUPnP forum that track counts were incorrect when using disc subtitles - which turned out to be because I was using 'showExtras=false' turning the disc subtitle into a track - at which point I mentioned that track counts were also incorrect with GROUPs. He replied

Quote:For groups, there is no problem because groups are sent as folders by MinimServer.

Interestingly, BubbleUPnP has its own convention to specify "Work" (used for classical music) and display them as delimiters. It is only used for displaying Qobuz albums which have "Work" metadata. It looks like screenshot below. I wished MinimServer had the option to send groups/discsubtitle as inline separators like these resulting in a flat album listing (rather than subfolders), maybe I'll speak Simon about it.

I don't know what MinimServer would have to do to achieve what bubbleguuum is proposing, I guess it's either that tracks within a group would be contained by some object that BubbleUPnP understood, or it could just be an additional object that you sent through before the group.

Having written it down I can see why you wouldn't want to go down this route :-)
I had initially hoped that it might just be changing the object type from one to another, but it looks like the tracks aren't sent through with the album listing, just the container/group that contains them.
