DLNA browsing : Title / Filename mismatch

Hi there,

I have one issue with browsing DLNA directory services (with audio files). The DIDL-lite element serviio delivers to a control point seems to embed the filename in the dc:title Tag instead of the actual title.

  Code:

<dc:title>Awake.flac</dc:title><upnp:class>object.item.audioItem.musicTrack</upnp:class>

The database contains the correct entries:

  Code:

select TITLE, FILE_NAME, file_type from MEDIA_ITEM where title like 'Awake%';
TITLE                                          |FILE_NAME                         |FILE&
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Awake                                         |Awake.flac                        |AUDIO


Is this being done on purpose? I think it is more desirable to just take the Title instead of the filename.

This happens when you use the Folders category. The other categories should deliver the metadata title.

I understand and I can confirm this behaviour. But again, wouldn't it be more intuitive if the <dc:title> tag would actually contain the title? The filename (if someone for whatever reasons needs it) could i.e. be added to the UpNP or resource namespace tags ("upnp:xxx" , "res:...")

What do you think?

I prefer it the way it is. I have some media that doesn't match up with any metadata source, so under the other presentations they all have erroneous title info. I know if I go into the Folder view I can see the actual file name. None of them are actual titles that can be found in online sources, as they're just a bunch of 4K demo clips.

Sure, you're having a different use case than I do

From my perspective, I have a fairly well organized music library within a folder structure. Using the Album or other available views doesn't help very much. Therefore I'm reliant on correct title information in folder view.

If I could make a proposal I'd suggest to either (priority in order of appearance).

- make it configurable per shared folder, if the filename or the metadata-title is being used
- or the real metadata-title is delivered as an optional upnp or resource tag
- or the real metadata-title is delivered by quering the rest-api (brose call)
- or the real metadata-title is delivered by an other good idea
