We already have Asset installed and have scanned a folder containing approximately two hundred songs in Flac format. Since this is a music metadata blog we are currently just concentrating on the metadata features rather than control of the media renderer. We are also going to do a br ief compar ison with another popular UPnP server called Asset just to show what difference it makes using a different media server.

There is a full list of installations available here but for this blog we are going to use a PC based installation. MinimServer is developed in Java meaning it can be made available for a large number of computer devices, from Macs and PCs to Network Attached Storage devices (NAS) such as Qnap or Synology and purpose built media servers such as the Melco N 1. Go back to Introduction to UPnP AV using MinimServer Because we are adding another rule to the itemTags and tagValue we separate the rule with a comma.

For all the formats this is CONDUCTOR_SORT, this is great because it means that MinimServer can be configured the same whatever format you are using.īut if they were different and you had audio in different formats (e.g FLAC and WAV) then you would need to use tag aliasing.Īdding Conductor Sort to the Configuration We take the same approach as we did with ComposerSort, but because we are using a non-standard field we use its actual tag name which for all formats is CONDUCTOR_SORT (note the underscore), case does not matter. So we only need to look at the second part. When you specify such fields in MinimSe rver you don't specify the T XXX or -: parts.Īny field in Flac or Ogg format can also be read b y MinimServer. The TXXX and -: are those formats standard way of creating custom fields and MinimServer understands this and can read such fields, all T XXX f ields and all -: can be read by MinimServer. If we look at SongKong Field mapping table we can see that ConductorSort is listed slightly differently depending on the audio format. All audio metadata formats do in fact support a standard way to add custom fields, its just that ConductorSort is not listed not as a standard field.

SongKong Support But the field does exist in SongKong and Jaikoz, the information is freely available in MusicBrainz so it made sense to add this when tagging. But none of the big players has added ConductorSort and hence it is rare to see it in supported in any format or player. ID3v23 had no sort fields, ID3v24 added ArtistSort, and then Apple added ComposerSort and AlbumArtistSort, and these became a defacto standard.

As a result of this when other tag formats came along like Vorbis Comments (used by Flac and Ogg) and Atoms (used by Apple Lossless/Lossy) the software concentrated on ensuring they had support for fields equivalent to those in ID3. Music players and tagger software spent years trying to fully support ID3v2. The ID3v2 specification supported alot of fields, and was rather complicated. But then MP3 was invented, originally with the ID3v1 metadata format and then shortly afterwards the ID3v2 metadata format. Some History At one point the only computer music files commonly found were WAV format but at this time (when harddrives were more expensive and smaller) WAV didn't really support metadata and WAV files were too large to be that useful. But if we look at the tag mapping section of MinimServer User Guide again we find that a ConductorSort field is not listed.

In the last section we saw how to sort Composer by the ComposerSort field, lets now apply the same principle to the Conductor field.

The issue was needing to regenerate to update the existing artwork.Go back t o Part 2: Sorting Composer by Sort Name I noted that if I added a NEW album with 600圆00 resolution the artwork was OK. I personally use 600圆00.Īfter setting thumbnail to "HD" in the profile and adding -Dserviio.hdThumbnailResolution=600 in the file in Program Files/serviio/bin Please see my earlier post viewtopic.php?f=5&t=24212 This is the one aspect of Serviio that is disappointing. Playing the same file in UMS the album art is crystal clear so it's something that must be fixable. I downloaded Universal Media Server for comparison. HD in the generic profile is a vast improvement over the default setting of DLNA but the quality is still poor.
