Hello.
Twonky seems to ignore the Composer in ALAC-Files. It's working with MP3-Files. What can I do? I need the field composer for my classical music.
QNAP is delivering Twonky 4.4.17 in a QPKG-Package.
Best Regards...
Composer not supported?

Re: Composer not supported?
I think that Twonky's handling of tags depends on the Container type. ALAC files are I believe stored in an m4a container, same as AAC files. Twonky's handling of m4a tags is incomplete - see my post "Twonky Server Tags" at http://www.twonkyforum.com/viewtopic.ph ... 21&start=0
Rick: same old issue - we need documentation on which tags in which container formats get evaluated for the Server database; and we do need the main, frequently-used tags/frames to be evalauted across the main container types.

Hi John,
yes, you're right. ALAC is stored in M4a-files. Is there any possibility to fix this bug by myself (e.g. editing some xml-files...)?

Re: Composer not supported?
I don't believe so - I've looked in vain for an xml file that holds the tag--->database mapping but can't find anything. I think it's hard coded into the executable (though this does seem rather surprising - maybe it's held in the database itself).
If you find any further information on this do let us all know.

Too bad! It's really a bug in my eyes. Does the twonky-guys know about?

Re: Composer not supported?
Since posting my last: I've looked in the database files but can't find anything that looks like tag/database mapping.
Yes, I agree that it's a bug. The product manager (Rick) should be aware of it since there's been a lot of discussion on the forum, but I'm unsure how much attention the forum gets. I fear that classical music users may be in a minority and that the importance of 'composer' isn't appreciated by the Twonky team.
Would be worth your raising a bug report.
