Re: Expose container type to external plugin (MediaServer2 dbus interface)

[Günter Merz <lotan_rm gmx de>]

Hello Jens,

I haven't heard of the dLeyna extensions. But if you point me to the  
information, I'll try to work out a proposal.

As Rygel seems to always perform sorting (instead of taking the  
sorting order of the dbus server), this issue is a showstopper for my  
music server as albums aren't sorted according to track number but  
according to display name unless the type is MUSIC_ALBUM which I  
cannot seem set from the dbus interface.
