There is something in the Minim- and Synologyserver data that eLyric can read and Kazoo can't. So also the way the app handles the content makes a difference. When looking at the music with eLyric app, the Synology Mediaserver and Minimserver content are displayed the same as Asset Mediaserver. (In my database the structure is: Folder /Folder -) Media server Synology and Minimserver gives just empty Artists (just folder Thumbnail).

Using Linn Kazoo app, Asset mediaserver running on windows computer gives artists folders filled with images coming from albumart of the album folders unterneith. I would be very pleased with images in artists browsing. But what about embedded images in for example FLAC files? Not to mention that this assumes a separate image file is in the folder.

It also isn't clear how to extend this to support other image types such as Composer, Conductor, Soloist, Genre, Instrument, etc.īecause of issues like these, this approach would be more difficult to implement than the design that I described. If each of these folders specifies a different image for the artist name, it isn't clear which image MinimServer should use. Stampie covered it pretty well!Īn artist would typically have tracks in a large number of folders. If there isn't any, use the album art in the artist's first album (alphabetical).Įdit: Obviously, I was a bit slow in typing. For me, a solution similar to the one you have for album art would be perfect:įirst look into the MP3's current folder if there is a jpg that is named exactly like the artist is.

The only thing, in my mind, preventing this is the lack of "pretty" imagery and "finish" in the UX. While most of us here are quite technical and are happy to install, test and uninstall UPnP AV servers, DLNA servers, numerous control points etc and can live with boring folder trees, it would be nice if we could extend the power of our efforts to our partners and families so they can *seamlessly and effortlessly* enjoy our fruits as well thus making our music/video collections a much more social affair. I've tested several UPnP AV servers and, for me, MinimServer is by far the best for my needs. Beneath that would similarly be album art for the returned Tracks, and returned Artists etc with Track Titles and Track Artists simply being a list beneath.

I have installed BubbleUPnP on my wife's phone and she is happy to use it but finds navigating tedious because "why can't it have pictures like Google Music" and I agree.Īnd when I perform a search, I think it would be much more effective to see a category for Albums with a series of 3 or 4 album covers returned in the search with a "More" option which then opened up all album art returned if there are several more. I think the overall experience would be infinitely more pleasing (particularly as some of us encourage our partners and family members to use our UPnP AV servers instead of Google Music or Spotify) if MinimServer could display the music library with random album art taken from music within the Albums, Items, Artists, Genres containers etc like most of todays music streaming apps do. As previous discussions have yielded division between users perhaps this could be an option users could enable or disable. Personally, I'm not so fussed about artist images but would like to see a more graphically rich library tree and search results. I've read this thread and also the thread Simon linked to on the Linn site (I think) and just wanted to add my humble vote for images.
I'm wondering if this is in development or was dropped as an idea. See this thread for some previous discussion on this subject. For example, if the "images" folder has a subfolder named Composer, MinimServer would look for composername.jpg files in this folder. The "images" folder could also be used to provide images for other tag names such as Composer, Conductor, etc. To support both cases, it might be better to have an optional top-level folder named "images" with an optional subfolder named Artist where MinimServer would look for artistname.jpg files. Some users have a library where the top-level folders represent artists but many users have some other folder structure. If there is a picture display, if not > no picture A jpeg in the artists root folder, for example called artistname.jpg should be a simple way. I would find it great to have a simple version of artist images. I am really happy with Minim, it works great with QNAP 212 and Linn KlimaxDS.
