Asset Upnp for Synology

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

An update on the missing art issue. I've just found out that for the albums where art is missing when browsing via a Linn app on my iPad, the album art appears when I start playback. Previously I have just observed the missing art in browsing mode and had not attempted playback. Possibly a clue to where the problem might be?

If you would like to upload a file from the album to dropbox and provide a link via personal mail on this forum please.

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

If this thread is still monitored, is there any chance that the album art issue with the Raspberry Pi version might be looked into? A small number of albums have missing album art, yet the same albums have no issues with Minimserver or Synology's own Media Server, so this is an Asset issue. I've looked at the tags carefully and the albums are completely unremarkable in terms of art resolution/size, tags etc. I've tried deleting /.dBpoweramp and re-installing, a couple of betas of 5.0, and 4.7.2 as well, and they all trip up on the same albums. It seems very peculiar as it's so random. There are features of Asset that I like, but it's hard to move beyond the trial version with this glitch. Thanks.

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

No known issues specific to the Raspberry Pi version, if there's a bug, it most likely affects all versions.
There were similar bug reports during the beta cycle of Asset R5 but I never managed to get to the bottom of it.
Are you missing album art from regular views by artist/album/etc or in "folders & filename browsing" views?

In regular tag views most art is present, and if there is genuinely no art I get a silhouette icon, but for a small number of artists Linn Kinsky shows an exclamation mark when there is in fact art available. The folder view shows art at the artist folder level for a handful of cases but otherwise shows a folder icon. Down at the album folder level in some cases there is art shown which is missing from the Artist/Album view, but then the art is missing again when browsing down at the track level.

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

Does running the Raspberry Pi version of Asset have any known album-art issues? I'm running the latest version, have a small number of albums for which Asset is refusing to pick up album art that MinimServer has no trouble with, no obvious reason why. Doing a full re-scan does not fix it.

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

I have Asset running on a Synology DS214. However, after I sorted out all the configuration, I saved an auto-restart script, and on re-booting, Asset started, but all the settings I'd configured were gone. How can the configuration be saved on re-boots?

Well, perhaps the problem was that I configured Asset having started it from a command line, then re-launched it via the script. Now that it starts via the script, the configuration is retained on a re-boot.

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

I'm very sorry to say that this CPU architecture is not supported by us - Raspberry Pi build is for ARMv7.



Update: I made standalone tarball with binaries for QNAP x09 series - which are similar in configuration to your Synology unit, but I cannot guarantee that this will be of any help; these have been compiled with QNAP tools and reference QNAP's uclibc flavour which may differ from what you have. At least the CPU architecture does match.
Link: http://www.dbpoweramp.com/beta/Asset-QNAP-x09.tar.gz

I have attempted making a generic build for this CPU architecture before but failed to find a C library setup that works on my QNAP TS-109 so I gave up.

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

Asset Version? Raspberry pi is what the instructions here indicate.

root@XXXXXXStation:/usr/bin/asset/bin* uname -a
Linux XXXXXXStation 2.6.32.12 *8451 Wed Aug 17 05:12:01 CST 2016 armv5tel GNU/Linux synology_88f6282_213

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

The error message implies some sort of CPU architecture mismatch. Which exact Asset flavour are you trying? I'm guessing that the x86 (32-bit) version is the one that's most likely to work.

I've been looking up Synology DS213 specifications but their website says nothing useful about the exact CPU model.

In order to give us some idea what kind of system this is, please run the following command in the NAS shell:
uname -a
... and post the output it produces here.

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

I cannot seem to get anywhere with this. The window shows the following -

root@XXXXXXStation:/usr/bin/asset/bin* ./AssetUPnP
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

I'm running a DS213 with the 6.0.2-8451 DSM. Am I missing something?

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

I get the following on my Synology DS213 (DSM version: DSM 6.0.2-8451 Update 1) Am I missing something?

Also, the command sudi -i .. should that not be sudo -i ?

root@XXXXXStation:/usr/bin/asset/bin* ./AssetUPnP
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

You have configured asset and pointed it to your music location?

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology

installation went well and my Moon Mind is recognizing Asset Upnp on the NAS.
Issue:the Mind indicates the library is empty, while I can see the FLAC files in the music folder on the NAS.
Not sure I have organized the metadata properly. Any available documentation about filing rules and metadata in a Asset + Mind configuration?
Thx
