Can I Change How MetaData is Displayed on Clients

I have a real bug-bear about how the Metadata for music is displayed on client devices and I want to change it.

When I stream my music through my TV or Blu-Ray player, I see 3 lines of Metadata on the screen.

A Disc Symbol - With The Album Name to the Right
Some Other Symbol (not sure what it's meant to be) - With The Album Artist to the Right

But at the top, just under the Album Art .... A Musical Note Symbol - With the elapsed time to the left and to the right the File name.

It's this top one I'd like to change, it's a pain, if you format your file names as I do ( disc no-track no - Artist - Title .. eg 02-03 - DMC featuring Tinie Tempah - Stranger Things.mp3 ) then the actual track name gets lost off the screen, with such a large collection there is no way I am going to rename everything to suit this now. Surely there is a simple config file or bit of XML I can edit to change this.

Any Idea's people ?

Re: Can I Change How MetaData is Displayed on Clients

That display is completely up to the renderer. I have Sony, Samsung & Toshiba rendering devices, and none of them show any sort of metadata. The Roku will display what metadata Serviio has available, but even it is limited by screen space about how much will display. Often a movie has too much information to fit in the assigned screen space.

But there's nothing that can be done from the server side.
