first steps on universal media server
Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:03 pm
Hello everyone, I am new to the forum. I have a yamaha rx-2080 av receiver and I noticed that it could play music from a dnla server directly from the yamaha app installed on the tablet. By doing some testing and research, I found Universal Music Server which seems very interesting to me. I was looking for something complete but simple to use especially for my wife to listen to her music, I tried to install it and do some tests and it is quite usable. I like the fact that unlike other dnla servers I can exclude some folders from the view. However, I have some concerns about the display of album covers.
I have prepared the music library in folders, one per artist, and each artist has separate album folders inside. Inside each album I have inserted a jpg file with the cover in hd (the same image is also integrated in the mp3 files).
The name given to the jpg file is in Artist [year] AlbumName.jpg format
Is this kind of name okay? Or do I have to give it a different name?
Having said that, on the tablet when opening an artist I only see the folder icons of each album: is there the possibility to see the cover in hd of each album instead of the usual blue folder icon?
In the meantime, this is a first step, then I will have other questions. Sorry for the long premise and bad English.
