Compilation tags - which fields does MinimServer read?
Hi,
I've just been reading this Artist vs. AlbumArtist thread: http://forum1613.minimserver.com/showthr...ompilation Which tags does MinimServer read if I use the index tag Compilation? According to the tag mappings it reads TCMP and iTunes cpil, but i see compilations listed which do not appear to have any of these tags present. My objective is to show a subtree of only compilations. All my compilations are tagged with Album Artist as Various Artists. Secondly, can i make MinimServer not show the submenu where I have to select Compilation=1? it would be great if selecting Compilation directly listed all compilation albums without this extra step. |

MinimServer handles the Compilation tag just like all the other tags you have in indexTags. Because of this, there isn't any way to omit the second step. |

Thanks Simon,
I think everything is probably as it should be. I just need to double check some of my tagging. Quote:Can you do this by browsing to AlbumArtist > Various Artists or does this bring in other albums that aren't compilations? Yes, this works fine, i just prefer to have a top level entry to my compilations for ease of access. Quote:MinimServer handles the Compilation tag just like all the other tags you have in indexTags. Because of this, there isn't any way to omit the second step.no problem, I just wanted to check i wan't missing a trick |
