Setting up browsing hierarchy
Hello everyone,
I’m quite new to Minimserver and would like to set up a specific browsing hierarchy but can’t find the proper settings. In fact after trying some settings I’m really not sure I can achieve what I want.

Here’s what I would like for browsing my music, starting from the top menu, the home container as it’s called in the user guide:

Artist > Albums
Composer >Albums
Genre > Artist > Albums

Artist > Albums (This I have been able to obtain, in setting “all” in the listViewAlbums. When I select the Artist index, I have the list of artists and then selecting an artist gives me this artist’s list of albums. So that’s good, but ideally I would like this to exclude the Classical artists, or composers)

Composer >Albums (I somewhat do have what I want here. That is, from Composer I obtain a list of composers, then by selecting one I have the list of albums. But I’d like this to only show Classical composers).

Genre > Artist > Albums (That’s the trickiest one. Right now with this selection I select Genre, which gives me a list of genres, then when I select a specific genre I have a list of albums in that genre. I would like to first have a list of artists in that genre before the list of albums, so Genre>Specific genre>Artist>Albums. As a bonus, if this could also exclude the Classical genre…)

Also, is it possible to not have the “n albums” and “n items” index entries in the home container?

And one final thing, I am trying to use the Work, Movement tags for the classical genre. I am not sure how to make Minimserver use these tags. I am testing the Jplay app, which uses those, so for example, an album with two symphonies does appear with a heading for each symphony and the movements grouped under that heading. Allowing me to play just one symphony, not the whole album.
This does not appear in my default app (which is StreamMagic from Cambridge Audio). I have tried to use the Group tag in files, but I have not found how to make Minimserver display those.

If anyone can tell me if some of this is at all possible, and maybe how, because I’m quite at a loss here.
Thanks a lot.
