With these settings, OWNED is not in indexTags or itemTags (it is just an alias for OWNEDLABEL), so MinimServer does not read OWNED tags from your files. Because there is no OWNED tag, your tagUpdate settings have no effect and no GENRE or OWNEDLABEL tag is added.

With these settings, OWNED is in indexTags, so MinimServer reads OWNED tags from your files. Because there is an OWNED=1 tag, your tagUpdate settings cause GENRE and OWNEDLABEL tags to be added.

This should not be happening. I have checked the MinimServer code and there is some incorrect caching from the previous scan that is causing previously configured tags to be processed by tagUpdate.

Thanks very much for letting me know about this problem. The incorrect code that is causing this problem has been in MinimServer for many years and you are the first person to report the problem. I will fix it in the next update.
