    Help Me With Scanning Please

    I'm new to Asset and Upnp in general. I have a tower PC running Windows 7 with an SSD for the operating system and a 3TB HDD installed in the tower for storage with all my music files in a folder on the drive labeled Music . I have an ethernet cable to my Denon X4000 AVR from my router and I have Asset Upnp installed on my wireless laptop also running Asset Control. Whenever I add a file to my collection I have to open configuration and Refresh All (which takes a while to do) to see the new file. I think maybe from reading this forum the problem is that the HDD isn't considered a "local drive". Is this correct, and if so is there a shortcut I can use to just detect the changes instead of scanning the whole folder all of the time? Thanks in advance for any help.

    What about a Refresh Detecting Changes? does that find the track? (keep an eye on track numbers before and after scanning).

        Install Asset Control from here:

        Asset Control (a UPnP / DLNA control point) is billed as the control point you have been waiting for . In UPnP there are: Server / Control Point / Renderer, where the Server catalogues tracks, Control Point creates playlists from the Server and controls the Renderer (player), all 3 elements of UPnP could reside on the same


        and see if that shows any files (when using Refresh Detecting Changes), it will allow you to browse asset.

          Thank you for the help Spoon. I was using Asset Control before but I uninstalled it and did a new install per your link and it is working fine right now. I added a new folder and it showed up without even running a new scan :smile2: Is there a way for me to direct Asset Control to render Zone 2 on my Denon AVR as a player? Maybe I should start another thread since it's unrelated. Thanks again

            The denon should be controllable with asset control.

              Thanks again for the help Spoon...I guess a direct connection to zone 2 isn't possible because the X4000 is definitely listed as a player but dividing it into zones is probably asking too much as it only has one Ethernet connection.
