tags, moOde/MPD and UPNP/OPenHome

MPD documentation claims it supports 32 different metadata types. For my test FLAC file with all 32 types populated the MPD database appears to contain almost all (there's a few interesting glitchs but my testing isn't done).

However, the interfaces moOde uses don't allow access to them all. For example, exercising the MPD protocol through a telnet session, I get the following when I ask about mood

Code:

pi@m8pi3a:/mnt/SDCARD $ telnet localhost 6600
Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
OK MPD 0.23.5
list mood
ACK [2@0] {list} Unknown tag type: mood

the MPD utility mpc says the following

Code:

supported tags are: Artist, Album, AlbumArtist, Title, Track, Name, Genre, Date, Composer, Performer, Comment, Disc, MUSICBRAINZ_ARTISTID, MU
SICBRAINZ_ALBUMID, MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMARTISTID, MUSICBRAINZ_TRACKID, MUSICBRAINZ_RELEASETRACKID, OriginalDate, ArtistSort, AlbumArtistSort, AlbumSort

That's only 21.

Interestingly, as per my earlier post in this thread, you can see that mpd is also displaying:

Label:
Location:

tags in my telnet session..

@Tim Curtis is there any chance of getting moOde to support/reflect these tags in the moOde interface and the .json output of /engine-mpd.php
