Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

Re: Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

Confirmed 'bug' - it does not look as though it is possible to have multiple 'no container' listings to automatically drill down into the folder. It will be R3 before this can be looked at (Asset R2 is now release candidate).

I'll anxiously await R3 then!

The LinnGUI crash is actually a bug in LinnGUI, but it will not be fixed as Cara is being released very soon.

I will check out the folder adding.

It is not possible to rename asset.

Re: Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

Hi

Just downloaded Beta version 2 and and like the Folder and Files Option as i have my music cataloged that way, however in this mode i cannot select a album too play in the Linn GUI (i am using the latest offical software, not beta releases of cara) on individual songs, one at a time, v slow.

Also both with this Beta Version and the release 1.1 previous on the screen when you initially go in the LINNGUI to select information on Asset than if you go in and back out it always crashes if you try and back out all the way to say control my Sneaky. Twonky never crashed like this previously

Also is possible to rename AssetXXXX etc so when it shows in LinnGUI it can be called whatever you want?

Thanks

Beta section of this web site.

I'm using the latest Beta Release version (downloaded a couple of days ago), and I'm having some problems with the A-Z option.

Here's how I set up my tree:

-Artist (No track listing)

-A to Z (No track listing)

-Album

-Album

I assumed that this arrangement would work as follows. If I selected Artist to start, I would get a list of artists, with an A-Z option at the top. If I selected A-Z, I would get a list of letter folders from A to Z. After clicking on a letter (say, M), I'd then get a list of artists whose names begin with the letter M. Then, after choosing an artist from that list, I'd get a list of albums by that artist.

That's not what happens. The first few steps work fine. After I select the particular artist, though, I get an option for Album along with a list of all of the tracks by that particular artist. So, to get the list of Albums, I have to take an extra step and select Album, which I shouldn't have to do. (I also shouldn't see all of the individual tracks by that artist, since I have A-Z set as "No track listing.")

Here's something even weirder, though. When I go back into the advanced settings to see what's gone wrong, the settings change on their own! The tree now looks like this:

-Artist (No track listing)

-A to Z (No track listing)

-Artist

-Album

-Album

An extra "artist" layer has added itself. If I restart Asset and then open advanced settings again, yet another level has been added automatically!

-Artist (No track listing)

-A to Z (No track listing)

-Artist

-Artist

-Album

-Album

That's pretty strange!

You would have to set FLAC to stream as Wave for it to play in Windows Media Player or on the PS3, you can do this in Asset Configuration >> Advanced settings >> Edit

Also the mp3 should be playable in all, if the WMP (and obviously PS3) are external to the PC and you have more than one network card then they might be using the wrong ip address.

Re: Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

I've just reinstalled and tried again. I can play FLAC and MP3 in foobar 2000 with the upnp plugin, but I can't play in PS3 or Windows media player or media center.

So far I've had success in:

FLAC -> Foobar 2000
MP3 -> Foobar 2000

and failure in

FLAC -> PS3/Windows media player/center
MP3 -> PS3/Windows media player/center
WMA -> Foobar 2000/PS3/Windows media player/center

Thanks

Mikebp:

>1. Issue with the artist 'the' option

I cannot reproduce this with FLAC files, please try the latest beta version (it will do a full rebuild of the database), then if still a problem please email one file:

http://www.dbpoweramp.com/email.htm

>2. For either 'the artist' option checked or unchecked name2 artist does not show up
> when browsing by 'artist'

Unless [ ] Contributing Artists with Main is checked, then I would not expect to.

1. Still an issue with latest beta - i've emailed a problem file.

2. Okay, thanks

Uninstall, reinstall. Try playing mp3 files as a test.

Re: Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

I've tried installing the latest release over the weekend to fix the problems with short tracks on the PS3 and nothing works. I can't seem to play any tracks at all, no matter what player I try to use.

Updated 31st July

Fixed Internet Radio (which had been disabled by previous update)

Re: Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

It is a limitation of how we are using the database internally (I am 99% sure those artists which are showing are because they are contributing artists on the same tracks). Same is true for composers or any multi-items and [a-z]

Thanks, I'll be looking into this! So: the A's and B's etc. are only this artists, that are delimited by " ; " in a track of the main artist, if I understand you correctly. Better browse by album artist, then, right?

Re: Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

Wow, cool, takes care about a lot of issues! Multiple Styles browsing is extremely helpful, thanks for adding that.

Only major thing, that I noted when quickly going over the new installation, is the still problematic A-Z artist sorting. When I choose Artist->A-Z->C for example, I do get some entries for A, even more for B, all C's and the rest of the display is filled up with more or less entries from D-Z. So: no limitation for C only...
PlugPlayer, SongBook, KinskyDesktop all show the same behaviour. Is that some error on my side (I just left the browse tree as it had been configured previously)???? If so, please be so kind and advise, what to change in the tree configuration.
