UPNP XML Change Request [#14929]

[MyVikes]

I would like to request the addition of a new element to the XML returned to the UPNP client requesting an album listing for an artist/album artist by adding the dc:date element with the date/year attribute. This would allow UPNP clients to sort albums by year. Other UPNP servers return this value and MM is the only one I've found that does not.

Below would be how the XML would be changed:

<DIDL-Lite xmlns="urn:schemas-upnp-org:metadata-1-0/DIDL-Lite/" xmlns:dc="......" xmlns:sec="...." xmlns:upnp="urn:schemas-upnp-org:metadata-1-0/upnp/" xmlns:dlna="urn:schemas-dlna-org:metadata-1-0/">
