Information tag formatting not working for AlbumArtist?
Hi there. Fist of all let me state that I'm very pleased of the configuration capabilities of MinimServer... being used to Twonky and Kinsky, on which I have no power, Minim feels like heaven to me.

I am trying to set up a very large library of Opera and Classical music for a customer who has very specific needs in terms of naming. The customer is using mostly Kinsky for iPad and Chorus DS as control points. Kinsky in particular seems to be able to displaying only Album and AlbumArtist (if present, or Artist otherwise), so I am considering using those fields to provide the naming convention the customer is expecting. My goal is to tag his huge library so that each piece of information is stored in the proper tag (Orchestra, Composer, Performer...) and to use Mimim feautres to format Album and AlbumArtist according to customer's need in terms of what is displayed in control points.

So far I was able to successfully format Album, but not AlbumArtist. If, for instance, I use this syntax in the tagFormat property:

Artist.displayFormat={$date}

I can see the date instead of the content where Kinsky usually puts the content of the Artist tag. If, however, I change the above to this:

AlbumArtist.displayFormat={$date}

no changes appear on the AlbumArtist line on Kinsky interface.
Am I doing something wrong? Or Am I hitting some limitation of MinimServer? Any help welcome Smile

Regards,
Roberto
