    Raspberry PI - Slow Loading Album Track List in Artist / Album View

    Have installed Asset on a Raspberry PI. Default installation, all working fine.

    I have added to the top of the Browse Tree another item. This is

    Album Artist / Album (A to Z), No track list checked
    +\Album, both check boxes unchecked.

    I have rescanned but find that when selecting an album (i.e. Bring up the Album Artists, select an Artist, then select an album) it takes approx 12 seconds to load the track list for the selected album. All other navigation in this part of the tree is fast.

    If I do the same but with the Artist / Album option the track list appears in just over a second.

    This behaviour is the same when doing the same off the Advanced Search > Album Artist / Album.

    This does not happen using the Windows version of Asset.

    Data is held on a Negear Readynas 104, this is connected to the same switch as the Pi. There are 15k tracks, 1215 albums. Control point is Naim nStream.

    Any advice on how to speed this up as I prefer using the Album / Artist view.

    Thank you

    Richard

      Looks like a problem with Asset; it will be looked into. Thanks for reporting.

          Noted, we will test this in the near future.

              Hi Richard,
              Not experiencing this problem - Album Artist / Album -> Album -> Track Listing is fast, and comparable with Artist / Album -> Album -> Track Listing, which involves more Artists than Album Artists.

              I am running the latest Beta version of Asset on the RPi, Premium Registered, with a Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra 2+ backend (but it was just as quick with my old ReadyNAS Duo, which has dramatically less power). Infact all the Menu browsing in n-Stream is performed from the ReadyNAS cache (2GB on the Ultra 2+, and 1GB on the Duo), as I have them configured to Sleep the disks after 10 mins of inactivity, and the Menu browsing, just like the periodic 'Detect Changes' does not cause the disks to come out of 'Sleeping' state.

              How much cache does your ReadyNAS 104 have?
              What does your AssetUPnPDefinedBrowseTreev4.txt file look like? Did you edit it via the Web-page or edit it in a txt viewer?

              I have made mine available at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bu8etep76...PbXFIT2uato_Ha, when I published the Configuration Guide during the initial Beta program. How does it compare?

              All the best,
              Simon.

                  Thanks all

                  Simon, nice to see you over here!

                  I tried the file Simon suggested and the results were the same. So installed the Beta and this resolved the problem.

                  In fact the performance with the Beta is much better, and the list of tracks now appears in a split second on all views.

                  Many thanks

                  Richard

                      Good to hear you have it sorted.

                      This Beta_post_release (a 4.2.1) has been out for a while and seems stable, plus I think there are some additional fixes in the Windows version re. album count decrementing on track deletion, so here's hoping for a new release soon.

                      I have also made some suggestions in the Wishlist thread, for some possible additional features for the Asset product on the RPi.

                      Simon.

                          With new Asset features/functionality added into the Windows and Linux versions, when are these to be applied to the Raspberry Pi version?

                          Looking forward to a new Beta to deploy and test.

                          Thanks,
                          Simon.

                              There will be an update to R4.2.1 for OS X and Pi soon.

                                  Sorry to ask perhaps an obvious question, but where can I download the 4.2.1 beta from to install over my registered 4.2 version? I too experience the performance issues referred to.

                                      But I think it is a 4.2 release with some bug fixes after the initial release.

                                      4.2.1 should introduce some of the features/improvements added into the latest release for Windows.
