It works. Thanks very much!!!

No, it doesn't work either. Could it be that the number of times the 'container' attribute is listen does not match? </container> <container name='Composer/Album' groupid='custom/composeralbum' class='object.container' createClass='object.item.audioItem.musicTrack'> <container buildon='upnp:author@r...

Thanks. I added the code you provided as below. Twonky starts, but does not build any tree. I suspect there might be a syntax error or something like that. <view name='base' viewlist='advanced,folder,ipodlike,simple,classified,playlists,mobile,musica' guilist='advanceddefault,ipodlike,simpledefault,...

Yes, I restart and it does not hang, but does not show the new view.

No, this won't work eiter. The musica view does not appear in the drop down list.

Basically, I want a navtree element based on composer/album. I didn't find any tree based on this.
Would you have a coding example that I could insert in the view-definitions.xml in order to get that?

Thanks for your answer, but it won't work yet. I added the new view (musica) as follows: <view name='base' viewlist='advanced,folder,ipodlike,simple,classified,playlists,mobile,musica' guilist='advanceddefault,ipodlike,simpledefault,byfolder,mobile,musica'> the result is, that Twonkyserver hangs and...

I added some new view.xml files to the folder resources/views , but none of them appears in the drop down list on the First Steps screen. I am sure I copied them to the right directory, because the existing entries in the drop down box dissapear when I delete the corresponding view files. I use Twon...

Thanks for you suggestions; I found the trigger (not the cause). I unchecked the 'Add ID 3 tag' option in EAC and my problem was over! So, Twonky uses a tag that cannot be seen with Mp3tag or any other tageditor I know.
Thanks for you help!

Well, in order to keep all variables equal, I deleted the content of the field 'album artist' of all CD's involved. After a database rebuild, the deleted contents is restored and the field is filled again. Originally, the artist name of some CD's was inconsequently spelled. This artist name was in t...

I found them en deleted them all. After that, initiatied a database rebuild, with the same results as before. I Also uninstalled Twonky Server 6.0.30. After that, Version 5.1 popped up; it was preinstalled on my Nas and could not be removed from the QNAP maintenance tool. This version produced almos...

Thanks for the hints. Meanwhile, I figured out how to manage Linux files via Telnet and found a db directory in /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/TwonkyMedia but unfortunately with no db files. The only files in there are called 1.tms.dat, 2.tms.dat etc. The other thing I found out is, that the removed contents...

Well I probably miss some basic Unix knowledge; on my Nas I only see the directories that I made myself. The system directories with all pre installed software seem to be hidden. Sorry to bother you with this problem.

Thanks for the suggestion. Maybe an odd question: were doe I find this the db directory? On the NAS there is no such thing visible. I configured Windows to also show invisible and system files.

Yes, all metadata are exactly the same, exept the song titles.

I am using Twonky media server 6.0.30 on a QNAP 419P+. The navigation tree (Artist/album) seems to be built on metadata that I cannot find anywhere in my Flac files. For instance: the albun 'Get Rythm' from Ry Cooder had 'Cooder Ry' as text in the artist tag. Consequently, the navigation tree showed...
