Giving an example of what you want to see for one specific track is probably the best way to do this. For example, you can post a screenshot of what you are seeing now and say where and how you want the composer and album artist information to appear.

I'm sending you screenshot Simon.
It's from Various artist Album. I have taged each song with the composer, with Mp3tag, and what i want to see on my control point (BubbleUpnP), as i could see before, is to be able to see the composer and Album Artist to be displayed when i tab the "now playing" song

What i would like to see as the screenshot shows, is to be able to see the AlbumArtist also (in this case "Various Artists") and the composer too >> (Screamin' Jay Hawkins). As i mentioned, i taged the song with Mp3tag,

Thanks, this is helpful. The second screenshot shows the title, artist and album. You need to add the extra information somewhere in these fields. Do you want to add the album artist to the title or the artist or the album? Do you want to add the composer to the title or the artist or the album?

Please also post your existing complete setting for the tagFormat property.

Hello Simon, and thanks once again for your quick reply.
What i would like to see as the FIRST screenshot is as it shows, plus the Album Artist (Various Artists) and the composer. It should look something like this>>

Album
Artist
Track
Publisher
Duration
Year
Genre
Desc.
and i would that it displays on the list aslo This..
Album Artist
Composer

Exactly as on the second screenshot, but plus the Album Artist and the composer


And here is my tagFormat property:
tagFormat=Title.displayFormat={$title^$date^ [^]}, Album.displayFormat={$album^$Discsubtitle^ - ^$Date^ (^)$#AudioQuality^ [^]},Album.displayFormat={$album^$#AudioQuality^ [^] ^$#AudioData^ [^]},title.displayFormat={$tracknumber^^/$tracktotal^^: $title$#AudioDuration^$date^ [^]}

Maybe you need that i send you itemTags property?

itemTags = Orchestra,ArtistSort, TrackTotal,TrackNumber, ConductorSort,Title, Comment,ComposerSort, AlbumArtistSort

The first screenshot doesn't show fields for AlbumArtist and Composer. This means that either this track doesn't have AlbumArtist and Composer tags or there is a problem in your upnpCustom property setting that is preventing the control point from receiving this information.

Please check in Mp3tag and let me know whether this track has AlbumArtist and Composer tags. Please also post your upnpCustom setting.

Simon, i have checked in Mp3tag, and i know that there is tag for AlbumArtist (Various Artist) and tag for Composer (Screamin' Jay Hawkins), i tagged them myself. And this is what i want to accomplish, to add them in the field as it shows the first screenshot, together with the rest e.g:
Album
Artist
Track
Publisher
Duration
Year
Genre
Desc.
In this case, what command should i add in upnpCustom?
This is my upnpCustom setting:
upnpCustom: roleTags={none}

I have sent you a screenshot of the song on Mp3Tag

Is it possible to break down the default line:

Artist.displayFormat={$artist$orchestra$conductor}

Into three:

Artist.displayFormat={$artist}
Orchestra.displayFormat={$orchestra}
Conductor.displayFormat={$conductor}

[Meffy]

Now i have removed the" roleTags={none}" from the upnpCustom, and the composer displays on that field on control point. But i can not see the "AlbumArtst = Various Artists"
Is there somewhere i need to add more settings in the property for this to display AlbumArtist too?

@Meffy

Try the following tagFormat

tagFormat=Album.displayFormat={$album^$#AudioQuality^ [^] ^$#AudioData^ [^] $albumartist},title.displayFormat={$tracknumber^^/$tracktotal^^: $title$#AudioDuration^$date^ [^] $composer}

Nb - AlbumArtist and composer may have to be added to either indexTags or itemTags.

What is you current setting for upnpCustom? It should be empty.

If the AlbumArtist is tagged and your upnpCustom setting is correct, the AlbumArtist should be shown in the first screenshot (list of metadata). No other settings in MinimServer are needed to make this happens. You might need to restart MinimServer and reload the MinimServer library into BubbleUPnP.

For the second screen (Now Playing), BubbleUPnP shows the Composer but does not show the AlbumArtist. The only way to show the AlbumArtist on this screen is to use tag formatting to add it to one of the fields that is shown by BubbleUPnP (album, title, artist or composer).

Alandbush has provided an example of how you could add the AlbumArtist to the Album field.
