Advanced playlists

[highfly64]

I have a registered Asset upnp and would like to how to get the top tracks playlist to work. I have asset installed on an Acer 340 WHS and access it mostly with Chorus ds hd, as well as other CP's for a Linn ds. The only playlist that works is the new albums/tracks. When i use the Qnap with twonky I get the most played, which I miss. I'm hoping there is some setting I'm missing.

Re: Advanced playlists

There is a potential issue which stops this feature working on various systems, it is due to be looked at for R3.1

Re: Advanced playlists

Is it possible to create own Playlists which are then posted in the Playlist section? I like to use Asset upnp with the Revox-System, therefore it should be possible to create own Playlists, maybe in .m3u ?

Re: Advanced playlists

Yes, see the Asset manual.

Re: Advanced playlists

OK, I tried to find it, could only find the WHS-Manual and there is written:

Playlists item allows the selection of:

Jukebox Track Selection: a random selection of tracks (based on rating, ie the more popular tracks appear more than less popular tracks),
Previously Played Tracks: ordered list of last played tracks,
Recently Added...: last 100 tracks or albums added to the library,
Most Played...: tracks or albums with the highest play count,
Least Played...: 100 tracks or albums which have been played the least.


Not a word about the possibility of creating own playlists ??

Thanks for helping me out. Can you give me a download-link for the manual?

Re: Advanced playlists

The quick version is:

Click [Add Folder] (where Audio Library is) and choose a folder containing the playlists, change the 'Contains' item at the end of the newly added line to 'Playlists'

Restart Asset

Yes, see the Asset manual.

Oh, there is a manual for Asset? Where can I see it?

Re: Advanced playlists

After installing Asset the manual is presented on screen.

Re: Advanced playlists

Hi again,

have been today to test the playlist. Its interesting. The playlist is shown, all titles are there, but when I press play, the Revox-System doesnt play them. The other playlists offered from Asset are playing.
I created the playlist using Winamp and stored the list in a folder in the Music-Folder at the Rip-NAS. Normally I use Netgear-NASes, where this is working. What should I do differently?

Thanks for helping me out.

Re: Advanced playlists

Playlists give out the files as is, so test with some mp3 files to make sure it is not a file format issue.

Hi, I now just purchased asset upnp and installed it on my HomeServer to be able to test it at my place. It is not a question of file format. The Playlists are shown, but the tracks are not starting, when the user presses play.
With the free version of TVersity it is working. So I have a workaround, but not a solution for this problem, can you maybe give me another hint?

Re: Advanced playlists

Try R3.1 in the beta section of this forum.

Re: Advanced playlists

Hi, I installed Version 3.1 like described in the beta-Forum, but it didn`t bring me forward, I tested creating a .m3U Playlist with Winamp on another PC in the network and saved it on the WHS.

I restarted the WHS after installing, is this correct? In the WHS-Console there is shown Asset-UPnP Release 3

The Playlist is shown but nothing can be played. I only have MP3 in the list, no flac
