![]() Please let me know about any cases where browsing responsiveness is significantly worse with the indexArtwork option enabled. If your control point takes longer to respond to a selection action, this is likely to be caused by the time taken for the control point to load artwork images over the network rather than the time taken for MinimServer to find the images. Performance of the search for artwork should be good, even with a large library. This has required some very significant changes to the implementation of index artwork and it is possible there might be a few cases where the artwork image shown isn't the image that is expected. With indexArtwork=auto, you will now see an image from the first album folder for the artist. Previously, an artist folder without a folder.jpg file would not show artwork. This is useful if your library is organised into artist folders with album folders below these. With the default configuration of MinimServer you can see artist images when use your control point ( we using Linn Kinsky here) to browse by folder 1278×866 225 KB but since this is a new feature of MinimServer you will not yet see any artist images when browse by Artist, All Artists or Composer 1007×657 77. This makes MinimServer much more visually attractive, especially with control points that show images as tiles rather than lists.Ĥ) The "letter" index entries provided by the alphaGroup property now show artwork with either indexArtwork=folder (the letter B would show the image B.jpg) or indexArtwork=auto (the letter B would show an image for the first file found within the B selection).ĥ) The search for indexArtwork=auto in folder view has been extended to search for artwork from folders below the folder shown in the index. These would usually not be the same image because the Composer selection is sorted in a different order than the Date selection.ģ) Because of change 2, the top-level index now contains images for all selections if the indexArtwork option is set to auto or all. For example, the index entry for Composer would show an artwork image from the first file found in the selection for Composer and the index entry for Date would show an artwork image from the first file found in the selection for Date. For example, you can create a Composer.jpg file with an image that you want to be shown for the Composer index entry or you can create a 'Show All.jpg' image that you want to be shown for the '> Show All' index entry.Ģ) indexArtwork=auto has been extended to provide images for almost all index entries. ![]() The image shown is based on the name of the index entry. This update provides substantial improvements to index artwork.ġ) indexArtwork=folder has been extended to provide images for all index entries. I’m using Minimserver on the Synology NAS.MinimServer update 188 has been released. It’s not an out and out deal breaker for me as I’ll still use Naim app for individual albums and Bubble for big, random playlists but it’s just a bit weird. The cover art also works correctly when I just use the Naim app, I never see the issue appearing when using that so it’s something between Bubble’s app and the Naim that is positioning the album art way off to the right of the iPad screen. The cover shows correctly on the Bubble app on my phone and also when I use Link To Windows and use the Bubble app on PC. Speaking of which, BubbleUPnP just pass to your Naim the URL provided by MinimServer for the cover.” “It looks as a bug of the Naim app to me, assuming BubbleUPnP displays the cover properly. There is one open issue: when directly controlling MPD via MPaD (iOS), I can open the booklet of the currently playing album on an iPad (MPad relies on an HTTP server for displaying cover art and booklets, I have an HTTP server running on the same machine that runs Minimserver, MPD and upmpdcli). I asked the Bubble guy and he said all Bubble is doing is sending the URL - (11-01-2016 05:07) krutsch Wrote: (10-01-2016 17:57) nbpf Wrote. The rest of the app info is where it should be - artist, track, FLAC, progress bar, pause, next track, previous track, it’s just the album art that’s off to the side. The issue is the artwork is only half on the screen at the right hand side. When I use Bubble on the Samsung, I select my UnitiQute 2 as the renderer and I can open the Naim app on iPad to see what’s playing as it sits on a stand on my desk. I normally just use the Naim iPad app when streaming a full album from my NAS but occasionally I use BubbleUPnP from my Samsung phone when I want to load a huge random number of tracks from the NAS (it can do thousands and it’s always random unlike the UQ2 which loads the same 500 every time).
