Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

Re: Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

You have possibly had asset restart, but still using the old one on the PS3, there would be a new menu entry for the new asset. Try restarting both your PC and PS3.

Re: Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

I added 4 mp3 files to my library and changed from LPCM to Wav. Now I can't see anything but [A-Z] in every menu and on both clients. There are still no tracks. I am also running tversity. Could the two be stomping on each other?


Thanks,

Paul

Re: Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

Try adding an mp3 file to your library, does the PS3 show that - also I think that wave might be the better option for PS3.

@Bitwan thanks for the report

Re: Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

My system profile:

HP Pavilion w/AMD Athlon XP 2400+ processor and 1 GB of RAM
OS: Windows XP SP3
Other: No Firewalls
Network: Gigabit Ethernet
Media storage: External HDD via USB 2.0
DLNA client: PS3 and Xbox 360
Music encoding: WavPack
Installed codec: WavPack R7
Asset UPnP: R1.1. then R2, settings: transcode WV to LPCM, all other settings left at default

I first installed Asset R1.1 and found install and setup to be easy. My music collection was scanned within 5 minutes. However, when I went to access my music via the PS3 all that I could do was traverse the menu hierarchy. Once I reached a menu that contained tracks the PS3 reported no tracks. I tried every menu to no avail. After reading the posts here it seemed as though a number of the problems with supporting the PS3 were resolved. So I upgraded to R2 but I got the same results.

Not to be denied my music I booted up my Xbox 360. Alas I had track listings but the Xbox wouldn't play any tracks reporting that the file format may not be supported. Is there something I am doing wrong because others have had success with both the PS3 and Xbox 360? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul

Re: Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

I am still having problems with multiple genres (genre1;genre2;genre3), both with R1 and R2Beta.

When browsing by "Genre", I only get the first genre stored in the files' tag; the other styles are not even displayed in the browse-tree. When opening the sqlite db, they seem to be well indexed. Multiple artists and composers seem to work correctly.

Is this a known problem, to be solved with R2?

Thanks!

Update 6th May
When updating tags keeps the track ID the same (allows an item stored in playlist to remain)
album art handled much more efficiently - only one saved per album, also single art url given out for control points (will speed up a track listing where all album arts are the same)
Internal Tag reader will self quit when main program terminated
bug fix: tag reader could leave the file open
bug fix: could return restricted for metadata browse on an item

Please email one mp3 file, with a short line in the email about the PS3 not playing them to full length:

Re: Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

4. is a false error.

1. is the mp3 being streamed as WAVE or left as mp3?

Its been left as MP3 I believe (the PS3 shows the files as MP3 in the browser) as does Foobar when playing. I didn't change any of the file type settings in the advanced panel.

Re: Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

Hi,

I am having some odd problems with Asset on a WHS system and was hoping you could help. I am using the latest beta (1.9.9) hence posting in this thread.

1. If I stream a MP3 to either my PC (which is running Foobar with a UPNP browser) or to my PS3 then the music will stop approx. a third of the way through the track. It is quite consistent & happens with all my MP3 files. In the case of Foobar, the current track just stops playing and it moves onto the next track. In the case of the PS3, it pauses for a bit & shows a network error code & then continues on.

2. If I stream a FLAC to my PC then it plays fine all the way through.

3. If enable Media sharing on my WHS server, the same MP3 files play just fine on my PC / PS3. Likewise, if I play the files directly (ie. not using Asset or Media sharing) then they play fine.

4. When I install Asset (and I have tried several times now) I always get an error - "Error whilst running - c:\program files\Illustrate\dbPowerAmp\dbconfig.exe" - the file doesn't exist (I checked) - is something missing from the installation?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Simon

Spoon -

Is it possible for you to specify a build number in your beta release notes up top?

Thanks in advance,

Are you sure the computer has the same IP address after resuming?

It's not explicitly set to static (some VPN stuff insisted on DHCP for some reason), but yes it remains stuck at 192.168.1.72.

Re: Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

I'm afraid the problem with resuming from hibernation mentioned in http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=18834 is still present in 2.0.0.1 beta. Waking the XP machine after a couple of hours asleep makes the problem recur. I've worked around it with a script to restart Asset as required, so it's not critical.

If it sheds any light, I've also discovered that if I boot and then immediately log on to my account I get the same behaviour. Asset is there, but doesn't show up in my Sonos controllers. If I boot but wait a while before logging on then Asset appears as expected.
