Hi Tim, Thanks much for diving into the code and confirming the behavior! You're absolutely right — and I now had a chance to verify it using the official UPnP AV ContentDirectory:4 Service specification (April 2020, DocID: UPnP-av-ContentDirectory-v4-Service.pdf). According to the spec, both dc:creator and upnp:artist are valid metadata fields but serve distinct purposes: dc:creator: Identifies the person(s) primarily responsible for the content — typically the track artist. upnp : artist: A broader...

Hi Tim, Thanks so much for diving into the code and confirming the behavior! You're spot on — according to the official UPnP AV ContentDirectory:4 Service specification (April 2020, DocID: UPnP-av-ContentDirectory-v4-Service.pdf), both dc:creator and upnp:artist are valid metadata elements but serve slightly different purposes: dc : creator : Identifies the person(s) primarily responsible for the content — typically the track artist. upnp : artist: A broader term that can represent either the album...

Hi, and thanks for confirming the behavior! Yes — according to the official UPnP AV specification (ContentDirectory:4, June 30, 2015, or direct PDF link) — there is a clear distinction between: upnp : artist: typically the album artist or contributing group dc : creator: typically the track artist (i.e., the one who created the specific resource) So if minidlna (aka ReadyMedia) currently maps both fields to the same value (album artist), it's technically not utilizing the full expressiveness of the...

Hi all, I’ve noticed that MiniDLNA sends the "artist" tag from MP3s as the album artist, rather than the track artist. This is particularly problematic with compilations and soundtracks where the album artist is "Various" but the track artist is unique. According to the UPnP spec, both values can be sent as <upnp:artist> and <dc:creator>, and clients like BubbleUPnP use them correctly if both are provided.</dc:creator></upnp:artist> Is this by design, a known limitation, or something that could be...
