Streamlining the browsing tree & multiple configs

[Ghieri]

Since this is my first post in this forum, I want to express my gratitude to Simon. Minimserver seems to be the best music server solution by far.

This information is displayed when I use BubbleDS on my Nexus 7.

Perhaps the playing now interface in BubbleDS differs from that in BubbleUPnP. On the other hand, did you only start to see Composer and Composition after some tweaking of the BubbleDS settings? If so, do you remember what changes you made?

I just tried it with BubbleUPnP, and the Now Playing display shows the same information as BubbleDS. This probably means that BubbleUPnP and BubbleDS show more information on a tablet than they do on a phone.

Yes, they do. In BubbleUPnP on a tablet, you can even choose "multiline items" for the now playing screen (settings -> display), which, in landscape mode, will show long album names, titles etc. with line breaks instead of scrolling them. This makes it perfectly suitable for tagFormat. The only issue is that, with very long tagFormat strings (i had some with six lines), the play/pause etc. buttons disappear at the bottom of the display.
