[SOLVED] Doesn't recognise all files in MPD

[agent_kith]

Hello, Agent Kith,

Would you please tell me how to enable the "albumartist" support in Snake-oil MPD?  I'm using V.2.0.  Your help will be highly appreciated. 

Hi, sorry, havn't been able to get back to you quickly with this. For now, you have to modify the template files manually.

Modify /var/www/players/mpd-v20/mpd.conf.template, and look for the line that begins with "metadata_to_use "

Code:

metadata_to_use "artist,album,title,track,name,genre,date,composer,performer,disc"

Change it to

Code:

metadata_to_use "albumartist,artist,album,title,track,name,genre,date,composer,performer,disc"

After you modified the file, restart the player from the WebGUI. And do a rescan. And you should get access to this new tag.

Will look into ways to make this easier in a future release.
