LMS (not that one, the other one)

[r5yk5]

A couple of things preventing me from using LMS on my 2nd server rather than Asset upnp.

1. Is it possible to start an album or playlist from a control app (symfonium) and have it continue through to the end even if the phone is disconnected from the network during playback?

2. I can get LMS to index custom tags but is there any way to browse them on a client .....

....maybe I should have put Symfonium in the title .....

Anyway I know a few people here use it so I thought I'd ask.

It's much like DLNA/UPnP (not OpenHome) in this regard, in that the control point holds the queue, so playback would stop (after the current or next track).

If they're not part of the OpenSubsonic API then I'm afraid not.

I run MinimServer alongside LMS for exactly these reasons.

Ok, well that's that then. Thanks for your reply. I'll stick with Emby and Asset

Unfortunately the perfect solution doesn't exist yet so it's all about picking the one with the fewest compromises for your use case.
Does Emby allow custom file tags to be passed to Symfonium?

It does but, at album level, from Emby directly rather than embedded tags. Using the collections feature or adding tags to the albums in Emby (which you can do in symfonium anyway, I believe.
