Display "Comments" metadata in JPlay (Control Point)
Hi,

First : thank you so much for your great work and please forgive my ignorance.

I would like if possible to display the "Comment" (or "Comments" ?) metadata in the control point I'm using, which is JPlay. I'm a bit puzzled, though.
I've tried a couple of things like adding "Comment" (or "Comments") in the indexTags or itemTags of MinimServer properties but nothing different seems to happen in Jplay. No doubt I'm missing something here.

What should I do to display the "Comment" metadata in JPlay, according to you ?

Many thanks !

Comment tag is used in JPlay app to show the album booklet (if available) according to this syntax (Advanced/tagFormat):
Comment.displayFormat={$*infoFileURI^<a href="^">booklet</a>$comment}
therefore it’s impossible to show any other content.
You can find in the JPlay help page which tags can be used by JPlay

Thank you very much for your answer. Damned. It seems like I'm loosing possibility to display some important informations to me.
Any way to make MinimServer "alias" Comment tag content (which means for me display it in another tag) to another tag that can be used by JPlay ?

Yes, you can define an alias to Comment tag in Server/aliasTags property using this syntax:
Comment:xxx-tag
where xxx-tag should be one of the described tags in the linked above JPlay help page
