Web status info
Hi all,

I would like to know if there is a way from browser or using a simple app to get values from number or artists, albums et all. I am using JPLAY on macOS but sometimes after rescanning I would like to know number of albums and artists and while I check the log i only get folders and items as info.

Kind regards.

RE: Web status info
The top-level index shows the number of albums. You could get the number of artists by using the writeAllTags property to write an "all tags" file and count the number of ARTIST= lines in this file (and similarly for other tag names).

Edit: To see this top-level index in JPLAY, you need to select By Folder under Local Network, then select a MinimServer instance.

Perhaps not helpful, but if you use a control app like Lumin or the Linn ones, that information is easily available.

The home page in JPLAY shows the numbers of albums, tracks, artists, composers, playlists and live radios.

RE: Web status info
Many thanks.

I am aware that endpoints give all the info needed (I am using JPLAY) but i wanted a quick method to do it when i am rescanning MinimServer without needing to open control app.

I think a find an 'easy way' parsing all tags as @simoncn told before. Using a bash script.

# Count unique albums
ALBUM_COUNT=$(grep '^ALBUM=' all_tags.txt | sort | uniq | wc -l)

# Count unique artists (combining ALBUMARTIST and ARTIST)
ARTIST_COUNT=$(grep -E '^(ALBUMARTIST=|ARTIST=)' all_tags.txt | awk -F'=' '{print $2}' | sort | uniq | wc -l)

# Print results
echo "Number of unique albums: $ALBUM_COUNT"
echo "Number of unique artists: $ARTIST_COUNT"
