I'm about 90% through my trial period on Asset UPnP, and I'm very pleased. It's really an excellent piece of work. It's running on my WHS 2011 box. I'm managing the library with MusicMonkey, which I'm also quite pleased with. I'm currently ripping music to both MP3 and FLAC (mobile and local libraries) using MyMovies for WHS 2011 -- which I'm not pleased with, but I'm still looking for something else. I'd love to have an all-in-one product (auto-rip, GUI to manage tags and files, and a UPnP server, all on my WHS 2011... kinda sounds like "RipNAS Essentials 2011"), but I really am impressed with Asset.
I've got the Asset Configuration set so that my music library of FLAC files are streaming as LPCM (my current client doesn't recognize FLAC). When I select a track to play on the client, the source file is FLAC, but it successfully streams as LPCM, and that works great (really sounds great too). I've got a playlist folder set up, and I'm able to see my one test playlist in the Playlists folder on the client side (for those searching this forum for how, check out http://www.paraesthesia.com/archive/...sset-upnp.aspx for a good walkthrough). When I open my playlist, the listing of tracks is there, and each is indicated as being LPCM. However, when I go to play the tracks, my client shows a message that the file type isn't supported or is corrupted. Though I can't really say was exactly it happening under the covers, it seems like the browsing interface part knows to tell the client these are LPCM and not FLAC, but when it actually streams the data, it's streaming FLAC.
Is this a known bug in Asset v3? And if so, is there an estimated date on a bug fix?
