Finally turned on the UPnP Media Browser in moOde 5.4 beta2 and tried to create a DLNA server-based music source in the Music Source screen. In this case, my source was a miniDLNA service I just enabled for the first time on my OpenMediaVault server, with its media directory populated with a few random directories, tracks, and coverart.
This server was detected and mounted. The MPD update proceeded. Only three of the five album directories on the server show up in my moOde Library. Digging a little deeper I realize moOde is likely functioning properly. Instead, my problem lies in the miniDLNA service in OpenMediaVault since, for example, browsing the server with Linn Kazoo on my iPad also shows only the same three albums.
I have never done much with miniDLNA and can find little documentation for it which goes beyond the man pages. I can start experimenting but since you have been some experience using it in moOde, I though you might have some pointers.
Are there special characters I should avoid in file and directory names other than the Linux's usual NUL and solidus ("/")? Are there any limitations on filename lengths or path lengths other than the usual Linux limits of 255-character filenames and 4096-character paths? Are there any problematic media file types (such as .dsd/.dsf)? Does miniDLNA make use of media metadata and, if so, what does it do with it?
If I get time tomorrow I'll populate the miniDLNA directory in OpenMediaVault with more thoughtfully prepared test directories and files and replicate them on one of my moOde players so I can do side-by-side testing.

Kent
