Display Track Artist instead of Album Artist

[Hayden]

Hi,
I've just recently changed my receiver to a Yamaha RX-V6A. I've got MinimServer 2 installed on a QNAP. I would like to display the track artist instead of album artist.
Under tagFormat I currently have:
Artist.displayFormat={$artist^^^ / }
This seemed to work on my previous receiver.
I've tried searching but I can't find the answer. Any help is much appreciated.

Which control point app are you using? Does the artist display correctly in the control point app?

[Hayden]

In the Yamaha MusicCast app it's the same as on the receiver. On the bubbbleupnp app it displays correctly - how I want it displayed.

[Hayden]

Ah, I see, it's the MusicCast app causing the issue, maybe I'll just stick to bubbbleupnp. Thank you.

Some control points incorrectly recognise album artists as artists. When this happens, it is also likely to happen for composers if you have any Composer tags in your library.

It is possible to configure MinimServer to not send album artist and/or composer information to the control point but this would mean this information is missing when using other control points such as BubbleUPnP.

Thank you, Simon. I've found that if I use a proxy server on BubbleUPnP Server, the problem seems to be corrected.

Thanks for this useful information. I have checked this and the BubbleUPnPServer server proxy uses a slightly different order when sending metadata items to the control point. The order should not make a difference for control points that implement the UPnP protocol correctly but it seems that it does make a difference with MusicCast.

I will change the order in the next MinimServer update and see whether this causes any problems for users with other control points.

Thank you Simon.

As I don't want a separate list, I use only the artist tag and removed every album artist tag.
I don't display

Quote:All Artists

in my system i use only

Quote:Artist

.
When I have several artist e.g. on a sampler I use "an artist"\\Varios Artists

This change is now available in MinimServer update 241. Please let me know whether it fixes the problem with MusicCast.
