Minidlna - force_sort_criteria - sort by file name

[swenak]

Hi,

I trying to change force_sort_criteria in Minidlna to sorting by file name, but it not work as I need. I want only to sorting by file name, like in Windows, not tags, or any other files informations. It is, because I use same files source on multiple devices and some devices (and apps) can sort only by file name and I want same sorting on all devices.

I use Merlin 380.68.

Thanks.

Sorting should usually be handled by the client device rather than the DLNA server.

My DLNA device cannot sorting by filename (Yamaha WXA-50) :-( This is, why I tryng to force it. And some other devices have same problem (like Panasonic TV).

How are you changing the line? Are you restarting minidlna after applying the change?

 

[swenak]

Yes, I restart minidlna and changing of line changing, how client showing files, so, it works.

Now I have this in file:

root_container=B
db_dir=/jffs/minidlna/db
log_dir=/jffs/minidlna/log
#force_sort_criteria=+upnp:class,+upnp:originalTrackNumber,+dc:title
force_sort_criteria=+dc:title

Sorting by file name is undocumented and I don't know if it's supported at all. Your best bet is to read the source or use your google-fu to see if someone else has found a way in making it work

I make google-fu before I asking here. Maybe, someone help me in future. Thanks for answers.
