How do I force asset to detect changes in a specific path rather than all changes?

The hdd light could be permanently on if reading 1MB from the Hdd, or 100MB, one taxes the Hdd a 100x more.

Anyhow asset v4 is being worked on, the next update feature a much more efficient scanning process.

What type of resources were taken, CPU or memory?

Hi it is CPU , Umedia and Umedia tag reader take about 50% of CPU, this should not in itself stop me accessing the server but it does and the hard disc light stays lit. As this happens every time I add an album it is not good for the disk drive in the long term I think.

Re: How do I force asset to detect changes in a specific path rather than all changes

I had a bit of a catastrophic failure over the weekend; my server, which also runs squeezebox server, locked up with the disc light permanently on. I used safe mode to go in and start a full chk disk and fix running on reboot as well as uninstalling asset and squeezebox server. It came back after fixing many errors but the music files were corrupted and had to be reloaded. I eventually reinstalled squeezebox server as a clean install and got it to rebuild its database then left it 24 hours to make sure it was stable. I then tried a clean install of Asset but as soon as it started to build the database it took all the system resources and the server went down so I quickly uninstalled it. Not sure what to do now.

NB - my music on the server is on a folder called d:\shares\musicFLAC and there are 3 sub directories under that if it makes any difference to Asset - which was pointed to the correct folder

Showing r3.1 is correct for the beta, you are best to uninstall existing first, then install the beta from the remote desktop.

Anyhow, restart whs, get so asset is not scanning. Then open asset configuration >> edit advanced settings, check that your music folder is listed as d:\shares\music

If it is, enable the debug option, restart asset, and add a new album, let it scan, make a note of how long it takes to scan, it is important that nothing is browsing asset, or playing during this debug test. When finishes, click the view log button, where debug was enabled, and then disable the debug log. Please email the debug log to the address you can find on the about link on the tool bar above.

Thanks - I downloaded the file at this location: http://www.dbpoweramp.com/beta/AssetUPnP-WHS.msi and installed it but it is showing as R 3.1.0 not R4 - is that correct? I do not have the option to resize art to 200x200 or the options to limit bit rates to the higher values - e.g 96 Khz.

UmediaLibrary and UmediaReadTag been running for about three hours now consuming about 50% of CPU and the track count is moving very slowly from 12600 tracks to a total of 14268.

Try Asset R4 in the beta section of this forum

Re: How do I force asset to detect changes in a specific path rather than all changes

I have a related question - I am using Asset R3.1.0 on a WHS machine; when I add an album of ripped FLAC files the process UmediaLibirary and UMediaLibraryTag spend several hours re-indexing my music (14,000 tracks) consuming about 50-60% of CPU resource which sometimes causes play to stop. I gather from this thread that is should not do this so why does mine?

Oh okay. I was expecting a gigabit attached drive to be faster than USB. The PC, switch and drive are all Gbit and nothing else is using the bandwidth. I'll copy to USB external drives and rerun it.

Thanks

Re: How do I force asset to detect changes in a specific path rather than all changes

I'm having what feels to be a similar (or related) issue, forgive me if it's something else...

I just setup Asset so as to connect my network streamer to my itunes library in Windows 7. I've had no issue connecting, browsing my music quickly, so good to go. I proceeded to add a half dozen additional cds to the library, and am unable to find them via asset now. I have rescanned the library, to no avail.

Any ideas or help?

It would probably be 15x faster if the files were local to Asset (either Asset running on a WHS nas, or the audio tracks on your computer).

Re: How do I force asset to detect changes in a specific path rather than all changes

It took just short of an hour and a half in total. The first 15 mins it was at "counting tracks" then started to display the numbers. total was 88442.
This is accross 2 network drives gigabit attached via a switch and 1 USB2 connected drive. There are about 25,000 individual tracks with the remainder made up of backup duplicates.

Add no new tracks and run the Refresh detecting changes, how long does it take?
