Re: Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

What are your audio files? apple lossless?

FLAC. They all show up in the Sonos controller list. They just can't be added.

The previous beta I was using (April) works fine.

Re: Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

Since the release of the latest update I can no longer add songs to queue on my Sonos system. On the desktop controller the "Add to queue" button is greyed out.

I read on the Sonos forums that this seems to be a general error in the latest beta????

That may be my post. To clarify: I was trying out the July 21 version, having removed the April 7 version.

BTW I assume the download link at the top of this thread *is* the July 21 version; the change notes are still headed "Last update 5th July".

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:

>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.

You would have to change the file date of the file in question, or remove it from the folder, rescan detecting changes, put it back then rescan detecting changes again.

Re: Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

Had a weird coverart item to report

I have my file system setup drive>my music>artist>album and I typically have a single folder.jpg @600x600 in each folder. I normally mark it read-only so if wmp fires up it can't replace the folder.jpg with its small and often wrong image. I apparently didn't mark one read only and wmp replaced it. I must have noticed it and deleted the folder.jpg - but it looks like I failed to replace it. So on this particular folder I only had the small hidden album art images but no folder.jpg. When I opened it in the Asset content directory it had an albumArtURI with:

<upnp:albumArtURI profileID="JPEG_TN">http://192.168.1.101:26125/albumart//cover.jpg</upnp:albumArtURI>

I have fixed it (replaced the folder.jpg), but the scan for changes doesn't appear to pick that up - not sure if it should.

Hi Still doesnt work with Roberts W201 and my logic internet radio. It shows the Tracks Connecting but they never connect. Does the same with Internet Radio stations where is adds to queue but then says end of queue.
Love to get it working with these as I like your structure better than Twonkey, Media Tomb and WMP which all seem to work fine. Had recent upgrades of software on both machines as they are now DLNA complient apparantly.
I will keep downloading your Betas in hope. Fingers crossed. Would do you good to get working with these as there are 10s of thousands of units out there with the same engine. sanyo, tangent, Bush etc.

Thanks

one more thing, that might help you eventually:

I copied the URL of the called "temporary" transcoded wav-file

(for example http://192.168.178.102:26125/content...8000/15616.wav)

and entered it in VLC-Player to see, what happens (btw. where would I find these files on my computer, in case I wanted to analyze them or provide them to you - could not find them anywhere....)

Both the plop and the hickup were there, as well.

Does that mean, that this is not a preload-problem of Sneaky, but that the plop and the hickup are completely present in this wav-file? Would that mean, that it's a transcoding issue?

About the plop: I noticed, that is dependent on the loudness and the frequency-range of the first signal of the file. The "darker" the first "notes" of a song are, the darker the plop, the louder the note, the louder the plop. If there's a little moment of silence before the first note, then this changes the plop as well. Only with recordings (classical) with much more than a slight moment of silence at the beginning, there is no plop; "hard-cut" pop-music instead produces loud plops.

Hope, that helps.

Re: Asset UPnP (DLNA) Release 2

Did some more testing, in case it had to do with the rescan after the update of Asset... Rescan and database rebuild is finished now.
It seems to happen only with mp2-files, m4b and wma seem to work.
Additionally, what I noticed with the mp2-files: a plop before playback begins (more a dull sound, only very few times a more tsssss-y sound), then 1 second of music, hickup, then playback starts from top of the track.

I noticed something with the new beta release: all tracks that do have an audiotype not natively supported by the streaming client (in this case Sneaky DS) and therefor have to be set to "force to wav" will play back with a "hickup": playback starts for about 1/2 - 1 second of the song and then will restart from the beginning again.

This also was the case in the previous beta, when you selected "force to wav" for those audiotypes. But since I could deselect "force to wav" for all audiotypes in the previous beta and still get playback for these files (I think this is what you refer to with "presentation of multiple render types"), this was not an issue for me (at least with in my setup) - I could play mp2 or m4b even with "force to wav" disabled for those file-types in the previous beta.

Could you please have a look, where that "force to wave-hickup" comes from?

Thanks!

I will look into it.
