tagUpdate enhancement
I'm trying to help someone transition away from foo_upnp (bubbleguuum's UPnP server within foobar2000 which has been deprecated for years), but one of the sticking points is foobars ability to use PATH (to separate content), so I was wondering if it would be possible to introduce #PATH into MinimServer's tagUpdate facility?

Ideally it would be a "startsWith" match rather than a full string match just to make it more powerful and concise (relative to the parent of the ContentDirectory root I assume), something like:
Code:
@#PATH=/Podcasts
+CONTENT=Podcasts

@#PATH=/Music/Classical
+GENRE=Classical

@#PATH=/Music/Pop Rock/Fleetwood Mac/1988 - Greatest Hits
+ALLMUSIC_URL=mw0001452888

It would also make some of my instructions much more concise as in some instances I'm altering TrackNumbers for which I currently have to use:
Code:
@TRACKNUMBER=01
&ALBUM=Brit Awards 2015
&ALBUMARTIST=Various Artists
&DISCNUMBER=02
=TRACKNUMBER=21

It may also help some of those users stuck using folder view because they prefer their definition of Genre to the online databases, to benefit from using tag view too.
