I want to use a DLNA/UPnP Media server on a NAS with Debian unstable. There are a lot of client devices that would use that server to play music.
Is it possible with MediaTomb to customize the music menu presented by it?
I mean this

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Take a look at src/layout/fallback_layout.cc, it's fairly easy to change things in there.
It may not be quite what you want, but I am working on submitting a set of patches, one of which changes the layout and adds a "Artists & Albums" entry.

There are actually a couple ways you could do this within mediatomb. If you enable javascript, you can write the layout code in js, but we were unable to get the js support built on a modern platform.
It would also be fairly straightforward to add a different layout to the C++, and select between them via config.
Either way though, it is a code modification, not a straight config.

Here is that patch, please note it also disables importing video/images, which you may not want.
Thanks for that. But it shouldn't be hardcoded. It should be customizable by the user through a config file.
So again my original question: Is it possible? Based on your answer I would say "no". Am I right?

Then we should improve the code that way that it is possible by configuration.
It is possible, by JS
