How do I set up Asset to work with PCH C200

[Neil E.]

I have Asset runing very well on an HP Media Smart EX490. It works with my Iphone etc etc. However when I try to get Asset to stream to my PCH 200 the TV screen 'sees' Asset but says there is no media to play.

You can browse the Artists, etc on the TV?

Spoon - No I cant get that far. All I can get to is seeing the Asset option as a source on the list of sources shown on the tv. If I select this then I get to the screen which shows a music icon, a picture icon and a video icon. If I select the music icon it says there is no media to select.

In asset configuration >> advanced, switch on the debugging option and try to browse the music item, then open the log file (its location is shown below the option to switch it on). post the results here please.

>OnBrowseDirectChildren::object_id: 1

This player is not UPnP friendly, it is requesting a browse of a non existent object id (just because another Media Server might use id '1' for Music, Asset has already given out a tree with 'au1', 'au2', etc.

Re: How do I set up Asset to work with PCH C200

So basically the player wont work with Asset ?

I will scout round for another player then - do you recommend anything in particular ? I wanted to get to a stage where I can see albumart on my tv.

Thanks for any tips !

I have no recommendations, sorry.
