Re: Asset uPNP & DLNA

Please note if using a beta version, uninstall, then install the Final R1 of asset (the upgrade button in 0.99 WHS console, will not upgrade to R1).

Re: Asset uPNP & DLNA

I currently have Asset uPNP set-up and working on a Vista x64 machine.
WMP on the same PC can see the Asset uPNP fine and works OK.

Another PC (XP) running XBMC cannot see the Asset uPNP server but can see the Windows Media Server one.

I have a new NMT (Networked Media Tank) device HDX1000, that can see the Asset uPNP server, but comes up blank when you select it as the source.
The device also sees the Windows Media Server uPNP from the same PC and can drill into and see and play all content OK.

The NMT is suppose to be DLNA certified.

I've tried with and without Windows Media share services running and not running along side Asset uPNP, but no luck either way. Same thing with diabling all firewalls.

Any ideas what's ups?

Thanks,

Tim

Not by default, currently no.

Re: Asset uPNP & DLNA

Thanks for the answer -would YOU consider then to maybe add a few values to the database, maybe those, that the enhanced GD3 returns and/or orchestra, lyricist, movement, conductor etc.?

Re: Asset uPNP & DLNA

You can type which eve value you want for 'Selected Name', just not allowing the edting of the database easily as it is possible with that to mess things up.

Re: Asset uPNP & DLNA

Hi Spoon

I would like to make a suggestion:
since you provided us with this great configuration utility - could you incorporate something to also let us add userdefined database-entries to index them & thus make them available for the search-tree?
With the new GD3 tags you provide, I would for example love to be able to search/sort for conductor or orchestra. Or, if I personally wold love to see a tag like lyricist or something else indexed, I could add these to the database and the search tree.
I know, that this can be done by hand by editing the configuration files, but being incorporated in the configuration utility would be very handy....

Thanks!

Yes the XP version.

It does, you have to install the WMA codec from Codec Central onto your WHS. The reason we cannot auto-deploy it, as there are different versions depending on which version of windows you have.

OK, thanks! So, which version do I need to install on WHS? (I don't know for sure - isn't WHS based on Windows Server 2003, which is similar to XP?)

Re: Asset uPNP & DLNA

OK, now that I have upgraded from 0.98 to 0.99, I can now see with the new interface WHY Asset uPNP has not been working for me with my PS3. I.e. I can't find any of my music.

The music on my WHS is all in Windows Medial Lossless format. Looking through the new WHS console interface for Asset, I don't see any support for files with the "WMA" extension.

Why does Asset not support Windows Media Lossless files?

My plan was to use Asset to transcode on the fly from Windows Media Lossless to LPCM as it streams to my PS3....

Re: Asset uPNP & DLNA

The indexing is on demand only, we are not like other UPnP servers, uMediaLibrary will have 0% CPU usage until a file is modified or a new file appears.

There is nothing to stop, disabling the service and running Asset-UPnp.exe, etc as local when required.

Re: Asset uPNP & DLNA

Dear Spoon,

I use AssetUPNP with my Sonos system and I've upgraded
to version0.99.
The GUI is convenient and I like AssetuPNP as a Windows service
but now, I've got 3 processes running in the background
(Asset-uNP.exe, Asset-uPNPService.exe & uMediaLibrary.exe)
instead of only one previously.
My point is I would like to use uMediaLibrary for indexing only on demand,
but the service starts it automatically.
How could I do that ?

Re: Asset uPNP & DLNA

On Vista the path is even more wierd for the service:

C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\R oaming\dBpoweramp

Asset uPNP 0.99 - Linn-GUI Bute/Details/Library Details:
- it would be lovely to see the library's path[s]
Rescan (refresh all) - rescanning shortly...
- no end of rescanning is shown, or does that mean Asset will start scanning soon?
Is watching the cpu-activity the only way to determine whether scanning has been finished?

"Is watching the cpu-activity the only way to determine whether scanning has been finished?" Yes, the message is a fixed message about staring scanning, it would never be updated.
