This is excellent progress!

Quote:I never noticed the problem before, maybe because I came somewhat lately to MinimServer and used MediaMonKey before to serve my music. With this server, the problem does not occur, as mentioned before.

It's possible that MediaMonkey doesn't include album artist information in the XML data that it sends to the control point. If so, this would explain the difference. Similarly, it's possible that BubbleUPnP may be sending more information to the renderer than the other control points you have tried.

I've tried playing these files with BubbleUPnP and my Linn DS. This works OK, so it seems that the problem is likely to be related to the specific combination of BubbleUPnP and the MOON MiND.

Quote:Since IMHO the issue seems to lie with the encoding/decoding of diacritics in the XML data stream, do you know from your experience if the way this is done in MinimServer could create some issues for some control points if they are not carefull enough ? Could this be Java specific ?

I don't think this is Java-related. Some control points and renderers have bugs in how they handle UTF-8 accented characters. The specifications are clear on how these should be encoded. It seems likely that either the MOON Mind or BubbleUPnP has a problem in this area.

Quote:I am not sure how to exactly and usefully report this problem to the good people (bubbleguum in this case). Is it still necessary to experiment with Wireshark traces ?

Thanks for your help and the time you took so far to answer me.

I think you can report the problem to bubbleguuum by sending him the information in this post. He will let you know if he needs to see a trace of what data is being exchanged between BubbleUPnP and the MOON MiND. There is no longer any need for you to produce the WireShark traces that I requested for MinimServer.
