Alpha Group with two letters / UPnP search?

Alpha Group with two letters / UPnP search?
I am using alphagroup for my browsing with MinimServer. If I click Album Artist, I get an alphabetic list of letters I can then chose from. So far so good.
I have several letters in which I get >100 entries when I click the letter. this means a lot of scrolling down to get to the end.
Is it possible to have a list not with the individual artists, but with a two letter alphagroup when I click on the first letter. e.g. ga gb gc gd etc.
Thanks a lot for any hints

Indexing on two-letter combinations isn't supported and would be very difficult to implement.

Thanks, Simon
understood.
I am using Volumio as UPnP Control Point. When I open a list, there is a search field at the top of the page

When I enter a search term, nothing happens, I get an empty result. AFAIK there is a search functionality between a control point and a server. Or am I mistaken here?

In Volumio UPNP configuration page you should enable UPNP Media Browser (or something like that … if I remember correctly)

thanks, Stefano
DLNA Browser has been enabled all along. Unfortunately inspite of this search queries don't seem to work.
BTW they don't work with Synology DNLA Server either. Could be a Volumio issue.

   

EDIT: I have now posted the issue over at the Volumio forum. Hope I will get an answer there

As I have found with volumio on a minidsp SHD Studio, the search function only works if using volumio to index the music itself. It does not search on external upnp servers. (Correct me someone if I am wrong)

This would mean that Volumio is doing a local search, not a UPnP search.
