Hello,
I'm evaluating the mezzmo DLNA server and I have one major concern.
On my player when I navigate into a music folder all of the results are displayed and sorted Alphabetically by Song Title, not by track_ID or by File_Name.
This means a standard music album is not displayed or playable in the order was meant to be.
I have found a cheezy workaround that is a logistical nightmare which is to edit the Song Title (within Mezzmo) to include the track ID. With this change, my player shows them in the proper order. Now I have to edit hundreds and hundreds of files.... not manageable at all.
I've seen posts about this issue dating back 1 - 2 years on this forum.
Any status update?
Edit: just to compare:
foobar2000 upnp server allows to modify the track title format: %list_index% - %title% - this basically injects the track index into the name field - problem solved
Serviio displays filename, which contains the track index number - no problem
Twonky allows configuration of sort criteria: sortcriteria='+upnpriginalTrackNumber' - problem solved
All of these above are on the presentation layer, rendering the sorted list and sending it to the client, no need to modify the local files on the drive.
But I like Mezzmo better so far, the way it grabs & displays the album photos on a song-by-song basis, especially on various artist albums, the other ones are basic utilities.
Thanks
