Aaah, you are right, but it is in the indexTags-Prefs.
So, that should be sufficient, right?

No. I want to change the appearance of the year in the controller app.
As the apps (BubbleUpnP and Hifi-Cast) are limited in customizing the views (replace tags by others) I only can use the workaround to modify the appearance of those, which are shown.

So, would this be correct in tagFormat-Prefs?

Code:

date.displayFormat={$date^$origyear^ (Release: ^)}

A rescan works with it (green icon), but I still just see the "normal" DATE everywhere.

Could it be a conflict, that I also modify the album-tag?
My full itemTag-Prefs:

Code:

date.displayFormat={$date^$origyear^ (Release: ^)}, album.displayFormat={$album^^      $Date^[ ^ ]}, title.displayFormat={$title^^$#AudioDuration^       ^^$#AudioFormat^  |  ^^}
