Asset UPnP User Rename List feature

[PeterP]

The rename feature allows a displayed text elements to be renamed (such as changing 'Album Artist' in the first menu), or more powerfully when scanning the music tracks to process the ID Tags, such as add the year to the end of an album name. This feature can be found in:

(Linux & Mac): Advanced tab, User Rename List (Display / Tag Mapping) - Edit ...
(Windows): Advanced Settings window, General Settings box, User Rename List (Display / Tag Mapping) - [Edit Rename List]

Note: All matching is non-case-sensitive. "Value" and "value" are treated as identical.

Display remapping

Change labels of fixed browse tree elements:
display:=text1:=text2
Causes container named "text1" to be shown as "text2".

Example:

display:=Some Artist:=Renamed Artist

or to rename the Artist / Album menu item:

display:=Artist / Album:=Renamed Artist Text
