Album Artist while browsing

If MinimServer sends the partial contents of an album, it uses the UPnP container class "object.container". In both cases, MinimServer is sending the same artist and album artist information, but BubbleUPnP appears to be ignoring the artist and album artist information if the UPnP container class is "object.container".

Simon, I contacted the BubbleUPnP author, who replied:

>> I could reproduce this issue. Unfortunately I cannot fix it without annoying side effects. For folders, BubbleUPnP only displays the album artist if the folder is known to be a music album (identified by the "object.container.album.musicAlbum" folder type). With the generic type "object.container", I have no idea what the folder contains. It could be photos or videos. And I don't want to display the folder's artist unconditionally.

>> Your best bet is to try to convince Simon to useobject.container.album.musicAlbum" for these folders containing partial albums. I think this would be acceptable but my guess is that Simon opinion will differ... <<

So Simon, would you be willing to take that approach (perhaps as an option)? It would help add useful functionality for those of us browsing classical music.
