Asset UPnP v3 Discussions

Re: Asset UPnP v3 Discussions

It works for me (just tested) in the version of Asset I am about to upload (couple of days at most), this version should be close to the final version.

Hi,

A while ago I asked for the functionality to be able to give Asset UPnP a custom/friendly name such as "My Media Sever" - will this be in the next release?

Thanks

Guy

Re: Asset UPnP v3 Discussions

If you could be so kind to switch on the debug log and playback a file with both Asset v3 and v2, I am sure we will get to the bottom of this. There is a bug in the current beta which means the size is reported wrong for transcoded files (at the browse stage), the Onkyo might be choosing a WAV or LPCM stream that asset offers. The next beta will solve this bug.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in getting the debug info to you, I have been having a few issues with my server! I'll get it to you shortly.

Thanks

Hi,
I tried it again, and now it works too. It seems to have a will of it's own.

Thanks anyway.

Which Technical Information exactly?

Re: Asset V3 with 24/96 HDAD

It is probably not set to automatically scan, try the WHS >> Settings >> Asset >> Scan (detecting changes)

Re: Asset V3 with 24/96 HDAD

I've just Updated my WHS from 2.1.4 to 3.0beta. With 2.1.4 I had no Problems with my New 24/96 flac's on my Home Server. Since i had installed 3.0 beta i copied Three 24/96 flac's on my WHS. Each of One is Not recognized by upnp 3.0beta. My parallel Running Twony does ...
What's Running wrong?

Re: Asset UPnP v3 Discussions

Hi,

with this new beta, Kinsky-Desktop does not show the technical information anymore. I seem to remember, they were still there yesterday.

Is this a problem of Asset or a problem of Kinsky?

Hi Spoon

I'll post the debug logs later today.

Thanks

Re: Asset UPnP v3 Discussions

Does the Onkyo play FLAC native? or is it transcoded?

@Grenadier thanks for the report.

It plays FLAC natively

Re: Asset UPnP v3 Discussions

Hi

I have found an issue!

I am using Asset UPnP with an Onkyo TX-NR807.

With v3 I get "Operation Not Supported" when trying to pause or seek FLAC files. With v2.1 I can pause and seek FLAC files with no problems.

Thanks

Re: Asset UPnP v3 Discussions

I've just registered to post a bug report :(

I've configured my 'tree' to have:

Album Artist

Album

Artist

Album

Both of these are set with A to Z tickboxes ticked, and the No Track Listing tickbox ticked for the Album Artist/ Artist elements of the tree.

For both, I noticed that the "X" section had what seemed to be every single album in my collection in it. After blowing away the database directory, and completely re-starting, the problem remained.

This behaviour was observed with a library of (exclusively) flac files, using Linn KinskyPDA 3.3.7 and Kinsky Desktop 3.3.13.

Then it occurred to me that there couldn't be many artists, or album artists beginning with "X". I, indeed, have, or had, none!

So I created a single FLAC of silence and set the tags for the artist and album artist to be X-Silence, put it in the music directory and forced a re-scan. Result, "X" is now empty apart from this single artist/album artist -exactly as you'd expect.

From this it would seem that there's an issue with the alphabetical divisions...
Any chance of this being investigated/fixed before release?


If you need any further clarification/screenshots - please ask!

Many thanks,

Toby.
