Adding setting for description display
Hello everyone

I wonder what settings do i need to do, what command should i add and where, so that it can display the artist comments/description on control point when i tab on "now play".
I had this setting before but i lost it after the fresh minimserver 2 installation.
I would appreciate any help
Regards
Meffy

RE: Adding setting for description display
If your files contain COMMENT tags, you need to add Comment to the itemTags property. To add this value, you need either a trial license or a full license to be activated.

Simon.
I have one more question. Could you please, guide me how to add also a command in settings tab for Composer and Album Artist to be displayed on control point when i tab on "now play"?
What i can see right now what is diplayed on "Now Playing" is:
Album
Artist
Track
Publisher
Duration
Year
Genre
Desc.
I would like to see also:
Album Artist ?
Composer?


I appreciate any help
Thanks in advance
Regards Meffy

You would need to use tag formatting to add AlbumArtist and Composer tag values to the metadata values that are displayed by your control point. See this section for more information and some examples.

Thanks for the replay Simon. I have checked the link you gave me but i find it a little difficult to understand exactly what strings i should put on tagFormat option. Coulld you please help me to type for me exactly what i need?
Album Artist = What values? Can you write exactly what i should put?
Composer = And here too.
Thanks

RE: Adding setting for description display
This depends on where you want to add this information and how you want it formatted. If you can say exactly what you want, I can suggest what tagFormat setting to use.

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
