Ah, maybe they removed it. I believe the initial index is visible to third party UPnP control points. My filenames are simply <DiscNumber>.<TrackNumber> and I couldn't see any logic to the order, but there's no harm in trying. Definitely a bug.

Just drop an image (folder.jpg) in any folder where you'd like artwork displayed, be it Album/Artist etc I used Plex to scrape artist images to get good initial coverage, then enhanced with other sources.

I don't have a WiiM with indexing, but when using WiiM's "Advanced" Mode to browse my MinimServer library the playlists also appear out of order. I'd say it's a bug so send feedback via the app (More > Feedback). Is there another view of your collection under 'Browse > My Library > Home Music...

Have you tried creating A0?

MinimServer delivers groups as albums within albums, so I do understand how this has introduced a problem. The use of DiscSubtitles also causes problems in "Advanced" mode as tracks are ordered by track number so you'll see 1,1,2,2 e.t.c. Not only do you lose the AlbumArtist index in...

Do you notice the same delay with BubbleUPnP which also relies on the Android Media Library?

It's not available for foobar. I've just had a quick look (using MinimServer) and it's not a navigation shortcut if that's what you were expecting, but an artist shuffle/radio. Assuming they're storing the browsing container IDs (as they are for bookmarks) they're not going to be very stable...

Check your son's eBay listings ;)

Artist presets are only available in "Advanced" browsing mode (USB Input and select media servers). You can create a bookmark but that'll only save you a click.

Did you allow the WHA to index your files ("Advanced" mode)? If you did, switch back to Legacy mode (via vertical ellipsis menu). Are your tracks visible in BubbleUPnP?

What you're seeing is expected. There's a media server component on the Ultra (based on MiniDLNA) that scans the tags in your tracks and builds a database in the root of your USB drive (wiim_cache\files.db). I believe this database contains the browsing hierarchy you'll see if you were to...

I did mean that the negatives outweigh the positives. The only benefits are: Grid view Album sort options (Title, Artist, Year, Artist+Year) A-Z jumpbar All of which should be available in "Legacy" mode. If I'm being generous (ignoring the complexity and incompatibilities it introduces)...

My understanding is that the WHA downloads all the metadata and media URLs from MinimServer (which don't change across scans unlike some other servers) so I don't think it's possible to become disconnected - unless the server is of course. Had you performed a MinimServer rescan? If you really...

In "Advanced" mode they're using the metadata of the remote media server, something that doesn't exist for SMB shares. I would have thought the database was on the phone, but given the app doesn't need to be running (during the indexing), maybe it's on the WiiM device. App storage (before and...

Assuming it's pulling from a media server it can't make any changes. Depending on the capabilities of your server the negatives do generally far outweigh the positives (grid view, additional sort options in album view and A-Z jumpbar), but it can't hurt so give it a go!
