I've just purchased Asset UPnP v6.2 for my new Synology DS218play, and in general I am so far very happy with this purchase!
I've set up two instances: one that basically streams all audio "as is" (Asset-as-is), and one (Asset-transcode) that transcodes M4A (and DSD) to WAV (since most of my M4A files are ALAC codec versions, as some gear I have do not support ALAC). My Yamaha receiver R-N803D supports "all formats", though, including ALAC, FLAC, DSD, etc. The strange thing now is that:
* The Yamaha will only directly see either "Asset-as-is" or "Asset-transcode", but not both. It seems that it will see the last one modified, or started. I have other DLNA servers on other platforms that it sees all the time, in addition to the native Media Server that comes with Synology DSM OS.
* All other gear, including a Sony Blu-ray player, and Android DLNA players (Bubble UPnP, e.g.), see both Asset instances simultaneously.
So, this behaviour is by no means a show stopper, since the Yamaha receiver works with both instances. But why is this happening? I might plan different detailed configuration later, and it would be nice to have this issue sorted out. A workaround now is to have Bubble UPnP app to access the wanted instance and render it on the Yamaha, but it would be better to use the native Yamaha Musiccast app.
Best regards
