Different control points seeing different things

RE: Different control points seeing different things
I use Lumin as I like the UI, I find it concise and easy to use.

Its standard indexing provides the following views:
. Song Title
. Album Title
. Artist
. Composer (optional)
. Genre
. Year
. Newest added to the server

These views were pretty much available from release. Subsequently the Lumin app has added radio streams and "folders".

When you use MinimStreamer as the server, then "folders" provides you with the top level indexes that you have setup in MinimStreamer. You then still get the Lumin UI to browse these indexes.

So most of the time I just use the standard UI but if I want to go looking for something that I have setup a custom index field in MinimStreamer, then I can do that too.

Browsing by artwork etc. in Lumin is much faster than Kazoo. Kazoo is OK on a fast PC but not on an iPad.

Yes you are limited to iPad being the only supported device. But if you have one that's fine. Also it will run on early model iPads as well (I have a v2) which Kazoo will not.
