Index Artwork

Does minimserver 2 display back cover art? I have recently been scanning both the front cover art as well as the liner, which serves as the back cover art. How do I see it? How do it tag it so it is recognized?

MinimServer does not support back cover art because the UPnP specification does not provide a way for the server to send this to the control point.

If you're using the BubbleUPnP control point then you could access your files this way.
By default it looks for pdf's but you can modify the URL so it'll pick up something else e.g. back.jpg

The Information files feature looks for .pdf files only. Can you explain your suggestion in more detail?

It looks like that was my mistake.
I was playing around with it, so I got it working with booklet.pdf and then I changed the displayFormat to:

Code:

$*infoFileURI^<a href="^/../back.jpg">Back Cover</a>

and it worked...but I hadn't realised that if a booklet.pdf doesn't exist then the URL won't be shown. The easiest way around that I guess is just to create an empty text file called booklet.pdf.

Some of the other things I'd tested were web searches

# artist search

Code:

Comment.displayFormat={$albumartist^<a href="https://musicbrainz.org/search?query=^&type=artist&method=indexed">Artist Search</a>}

# mb_id tag populated with musicbranz release group id

Code:

Comment.displayFormat={$mb_id^<a href="https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/^">Album Lookup</a>}

You can merge your scans into a pdf
