Theoretically JRiver could possibly fix this.
I am not sure quite why, but it would probably be something related to the "Various Artists" grouping conundrum. AlbumArtist is I think one such field where MC has to use a proprietary namespace extension. However due to limitations of the UPNP / Dublin Core namespace MC has to extend the namespace with some of its own proprietary field names. Some of these meta data field names are derived from a so called "Dublin Core" namespace (such as the AlbumArtist name cited by the OP), and when MC passes meta data to other CPs or to other instances of itself it does also use the UPNP / Dublin Core namespace. The UPNP specification defines XML names for meta data fields to be passed in ContentDirectory:Browse or ContentDirectory:Search responses. And it is possible (I did not test it) that his point about MCs importing of tags from a 3rd party DMS may be true. Ps but I guess the reason JRemote doesn't work very well with minimserver is that it is only intended to work with MC - the fact that it even half works with minimserver is just luck.ĪFAIK the OP is not talking about JRemote. It's a very good feature, and I would like MC/JRemote more if there was a similar feature. It gives you the freedom to make restrictions in any order you like, rather like panes view, but through a more graphical interface on a remote app. Then click on Artist or whatever, pick an artist and get the Albums or Works for just that artist. Pick one of these, and the list of albums is restricted to just those for that composer. You can click through any of the higher level containers - Composer say and get a list of composers.
For example, you may have an "Albums" type view, which will be presented as albums as usual, but plus containers for (say) Composer, Artist, Orchestra, Sub Genre. It has a feature which it calls "intelligent browsing", which doesn't force any particular browsing order on the user. Yes, very much so, especially if you enjoy classical music.
