Serento: The audiophile UPnP controller app for iOS/macOS

[simbun]

I'm flying blind here as I don't have a iOS device to test with, as such I'm having to make assumptions.

There is nothing specific with my setup.

Have you customised the genre display using:

Code:

tagFormat: genre.displayFormat={}

Serento links genres to albums through the track metadata (as provided by MinimServer) so genre at the track level (likely displayed on the album screen) must match the label from the genre index.

Some MinimServer users have spent lots of time creating a indexArtwork folder to add images as they like the most.
It is a petty when these images are overruled by an automated, non controlled, download proces from the internet.

Serento doesn't have access to the indexArtwork folder on the filesystem just the metadata as served by MinimServer, which for each object (artist/album/track/folder) includes an associated image.

Going down that route turns Serento into a "dumb" UPnP control point which I don't believe is the vision, though likely what most people want - albeit at a much reduced price.
