Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

Working fine on a DS918+

Recommended - much better than any of Synology's own offerings for general device compatibility, album art display etc.

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

Thanks, that works, as does Album Artist/Album on the top browse tree line.
Problem is that any album with the Album Artist tag not completed is missing, & I have a few of those so have some work to do.

OK all the missing Album Artist tag's have been added/restored. Big +1 for PerfectTUNES ID Tags.
Only problem is browsing with Additional >> Album Artist/Album & Album Artist/Album does not show DSD albums.
More experimenting over the next days I guess

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

Just a post to say Asset is going well on the Synology.

I do however have a question: I'm looking for a solution to a very minor 'artist' display issue in the configuration browse tree.
As an e.g. I have a number of albums from one artist, when I browse the artist I see all the album covers, plus a number of the same album cover(s) where that artist has tracks duet'd with other artists. Not a problem in itself, but I would prefer to see only the actual albums, not the spurious tracks.
Apart from changing the metadata, is there a simpler way in config browse tree ???

Hi
I am considering purchasing Synology DS218play, and just want to make 100% sure whether Asset upnp is compliant to run on this NAS.
best regards

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

............... also when the OS updates I believe it wipes the app if not through their store.

A new DSM (OS) revision was released a week or so ago, my DS214 auto-updated to it & Asset UPnP was unaffected.
I agree AC16161's concerns over Synology keeping up with changes, they really are poor in that area.

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

If they do not supply via their store then there is no easy way of getting the Config page, also when the OS updates I believe it wipes the app if not through their store.

Am a bit puzzled by this. Since the .spk beta was released, Asset has pretty much been behaving as a regular app in the Package Center, perhaps with a couple of minor glitches. I have done some minor OS updates and all was well with the app not being wiped(unlike the back-end install of Asset I tried before). To offer two examples, MinimServer and Plex both offer .spk files for latest versions and these run just fine after OS updates without being installed via the store. I know that in the past the MinimServer developer has encountered long delays in getting Synology to post the latest version to the store, and the current Plex .spk version is way ahead of that in the Synology store. So you might want to check if dependence on the store is really necessary for purchase? And double-check that the current manual install of an .spk file does indeed preserve the installation after an OS update?

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

I have put the link back on the beta test first page, until it is published.

Thanks. Were there any changes beyond beta 15? I guess there is a rationale for involving the Synology package store but my experience with other third-party software is that users generally go to the developer for the latest version as Synology are not very good at updating the "store". You might be better off having an independent purchase mechanism via this site, as with all the other tools you offer?

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

The testing thread for Asset 6.2 is now locked but the main page on this site for Asset does not have a link to the install release of Asset for Synology. Where can we find it?
