Controlling media server output [#8740]

[JeffV64]

Hi all, quick question regarding MM4's media server capabilities -- is there a way to control the information that is output to my media player? I have an old Roku SoundBridge, and it has two lines of display. I can control some of the display contents via the player itself (e.g., whether or not to show a visualization for elapsed time, or to display the composer for classical works), but control is minimal. When serving content via MM4 I see the song title one one line, and then artist - album on the second line. This is all great, but ideally I'd add the year, and I just don't see a way of doing that.

Thanks for any advice. As a side note, the fact that I can use MM to serve music that logs plays both internally in MM and at last.fm completely tickles me, so *thanks very much* for you efforts here.

No you can't change it. I'm not even sure the DLNA protocol has allowances for that.

Thanks Lowlander, I suspected as much. I've used a bunch of different servers (Firefly, the squeeze server, Twonky, the windows media one) and they all seem slightly different (the squeeze server was entirely weird, and the Firefly output the year), so I'm guessing that at some level this is configurable but that control probably exists pretty deep down.

I don't know what it possible, but if it is it doesn't sound like a bad idea to allow users to customize this.
