Asset UPnP v3 Discussions

Re: Asset UPnP v3 Discussions

Using the latest beta I still get the artist showing as "Various Artists" whenever I play a compilation album from the "album" tree. The "Compilation" tag is set to '1', which stopped my previous problem of adding an album and only seeing tracks by one artist.
Also, when I select the "Compilation" tree there are no albums in there. Is this a result of the beta phase or have I missed a setting (quite likely!).

You would have to create a UTF-8 playlist named .m3u8 (open in notepad, select save as then choose the encoding to UTF-8, do not forget to rename .m3u to .m3u8)

Verified the playlists are working on PS3.

Re: Asset UPnP v3 Discussions

Oh, found one issue with playlists - if you have a song with a non-ASCII character in it, you can't play it. It comes up with the title mangled and the artist is "Unknown Artist."

In my case, the song is at:
d:\Shares\Music\Freezepop\Hi-five My Remix\01 Super-sprøde.mp3

Note the weird "o-with-a-slash" in the song title.

If I navigate through Album/Artist to Freezepop and select the song manually, it does display and play properly, so this is something specific to playlists.

Verified that playlists work from Windows Home Server, at least on my Droid X DLNA client. (Will test with PS3 later, but the wife is on it. I'm sure it'll work.)

Thanks!

Re: Asset UPnP v3 Discussions

FYI, I just got my Droid X updated to Android 2.2 (Froyo) and updated to the latest Asset beta. If you select AAC, etc. to stream as MP3 (I used 256k) then you can play things on your Android phone using the DLNA client. It doesn't seem to support WAV or LPCM.

I will try out playlists tonight.

Re: Asset UPnP v3 Discussions

I installed the latest build of Asset Control, and it shows the songs in the same wrong order as the Denon does (that is, all track 1's from the 4 discs, followed by all track 2's from the 4 discs, ... ).

Any further thoughts on this, Spoon? I really like the idea of multi-disc albums being shown as a single entry, but the tracks really need to be sorted correctly.

Hi Spoon,
i'm new in the forum and because I joined it to find an answer to Michaels statements I just wanna support his request.
I see this problem as a MAJOR issue.

Further testing also reveals that adding multiple genres with the ID tag Update codec (beta) only keeps the last added genre the previous ones are ignored/overwritten.

Re: Asset UPnP v3 Discussions

Edit ID Tag would separate the genres, you would have to remove the genre from the file, click OK, then add it again.

OK, thanks that did the trick. Unfortunately Edit ID Tag from R 14 still no joy.
The trick did work using mp3tag. Might be a regression in there.:cry:

Re: Asset UPnP v3 Discussions

That is because mp3tag is not writing genre to the vorbis comments specification.

OK I figured as much but edit IDtag does not work either. Or is there a script somewhere to acomplish this like there is for multiple artists...

Re: Asset UPnP v3 Discussions

The tag would have to be written internally as:

GENRE=genre1
GENRE=genre2

for it to be picked up as separate, as per the Vorbis Comments specification

OK so how do I do that, I tried adding a genre field with edit ID-tag but it just overwrites the old one allthough i clearly created a second genre item.

I can't see more that one genre in MP3tag nor in edit ID

Re: Asset UPnP v3 Discussions

R14 has delayed Asset v3 slightly, it is only weeks away.

Re: Asset UPnP v3 Discussions

Hi Spoon,

can you already tell us the release date of Asset v3 Final ?

4 weeks ago (24th August) you said in the Asset UPnP v3 thread:

Asset UPnP is now code complete for R3, full release is 3-4 weeks.
