Yes, but there is still no way to select which fields are visible on the terminal (either the Android tablet with Gizmo app, either the screen of the DLNA renderer).
This theme comes here back on a regular basis. Basically, what classical music lovers need is :
- Track name, of course
- Composer name (either 'Composer' tag, either ComposerSort').
- Track number
Why not to add a way to customize what is displayed in the DLNA player, like the display of the regular "playing now" view ?
Another thing: the album titles displayed in the Gizmo app are too short: sometimes we need to view the full album title to distinguish two albums:
Beethoven, blablala sonatas, by Wilhelm bablabal, VOL 1
Beethoven, blablala sonatas, by Wilhelm bablabal, VOL 2.
Some other DLNA apps have the ability to switch between a "thumbnails" view to a "details" one. Why not Gizmo ?
BTW, the Webremote view (seen through a browser) is more customizable (even if you need to be a little techy to do it), but Composer and Track number are not in the list of fields that you can add.
Try using EOS.

@AndyU: the cover art is often enough to disambiguate, but not always. For instance, I have a big dozen of Chopin CDs, all with similar cover arts, and with the cover art title not readable: this is precisely the case where I would like to have the full album title...are you sure you have made the views in the area of the options as Andy indicated? They are totally separate from the standard views you have created (see 1st screenshot)

krmasson, please open a new thread for your issue.
thanks!
@Mods -- think this post should be moved to the Remote thread, thanks
why?MC delivers the data (otherwise you could not have complex views on remotes).
the MC has to deliver the data. My understanding is they don't today. thats the reason I ask here...
perhaps we find more customers who are interested in a configurabel " playing now" screen ;-)

krmasson, please open a new thread for your issue.

back to the "playing now" screen.
Today, when I start playing (any genre) a song EOS/ Gizmo is showing
1st row: song name
2nd row: interpred and album name
what I would like to see in genre classical
1st row: song name
2nd row: composer
3rd. row: orchestra
4th. row: soloists
5th row: conduktor
6th. row: Chorus
the order should be configurable.
From my point of view row 1 + 2 is a must be (this should be configurable). the rest depends on the screen(sisze/ resolution) of the terminal/ tablet ...
for all the rest:
1st row: song name
2nd row: interpred and album name
is OK for my, but is should be configurable ;-)
I don't see a way in Tools > Options > Media Network > Advanced .. Customize view for Gizmo & Webgizmo > Add > Library Item to config the " playing now" screen.
What I have is sorting rules for the music library within MC
composer
opra
concert
ectr....
I hope you understand now what I am looking for....

AFAICS JRemote doesn't let you see all the fields, just a small selection.
In an ideal world I would like to show composer, work, movement (a field that I don't have!) as a minimum with the possibility of performers, key and opus, but just to have the option of changing the default two fields to any available field (including custom fields) would be a great improvement.
AFAICS JRemote doesn't let you see all the fields, just a small selection.I'm confused here, which version do you have?
Edit. I think it might be showing only populated fields, which would explain some of the randomness.
...Considering all the esoteric things that have been developed in JRiver I can't believe that it would be very difficult to implement.
Hello there.
FYI, I have tried the BubbleSoft remote UPnp Android app. Worked fine with MC20 (which was not really the case with MC17).
(MC20 being both the server and the renderer, SP/DIF linked to my Uniti player).
Very pleasant and intuitive ergonomy, AND, AND... the ability to display the composer name in the playing now view, AND, AND... the ability to display the track number of every file.
These were precisely the both fields I missed in Gizmo.
Displaying current playing track, and gapless playback, work fine with MC20 default settings.
Full version costs about 3 €, but is definitely worth it.
