Show track # in DLNA client

Post by big_troll »

I'm trying to set up my Samsung UE46F5505 tv to act as a DLNA client for UMS.
Connection and transport works fine.
I do however have 1 problem.

When I start playing .flac files, all the files are stripped for the initial tags on the filename.
I have tagged my files <track# ><band ><title>. (with an appropriate amount of spaces between each tag item)

The files shows up with only the title in the DLNA client when playing, which causes the sort order to be incorrect.

One solution could be the ability to send file names as some sort of padded string like RPAD(name,' ',2), in order to confuse the DLNA client.

Or how is this done in UMS?

Setup
Mac Mini / OSX 10.9
UMS 2.6.5
Samsung UE46F5505
Wireless net

I will test your issue and get back to you. I do seem to remember seeing this issue before when listening to music.

Hi big_troll, it sounds like it's something the TV is doing. UMS does not strip away that info so probably the TV is just taking the song title from the ID3 tags, which are tags contained in the file itself. You can test this by changing the ID3 title tag and seeing if the TV displays the change.
