Title: Any modifications on tags/fields not saved when using DLNA server
Post by: bunbury on September 05, 2014, 04:29:39 pm
I'm using MinimServer as a UPnP/DLNA server.
JRiver is both renderer and controller.

I modify fields/tags but when I quit it disappears.
What can I do ? How does it work ?

I think you'd need to make the changes in minimserver.

Well then I'd use mp3tag and JRiver becomes a simple UPnP renderer.
Than would be pretty useless.
And I suggest the software should either allow the changes to be made to a local library or prevent the user from modifying fields.

DLNA / UPnP doesn't work that way.  The Renderer doesn't have the ability to write changes to the server.

I understand. Maybe I can use JRiver to edit tags on the same files shared via NFS.

If it is running on a NAS, you could just import the files into MC and use it as the server.

Actually the UPnP ContentDirectory service does have methods defined to allow an external control point to make changes to the library (changing tags and indeed also adding or deleting media). However those methods are optional and I have never seen a case yet where anyone actually implemented them. And it would require both server and control point to have so implemented them.
