    Re: Asset UPnP v4

    @talisker this is not possible, sorry

    @dvdr try kinsky desktop, it would not be doing anything special with disc number (you can try clearing the ={no-identification}
    overide section, which Kinsky would fall under).

    I will look into the asset naming.

    Re: Asset UPnP v4

    Hi spoon, i've a question and don't know whether this is the right place. But anyway, I'm wondering whether it would be possible to create a second queue (different port) on asset upnp where you can have different settings on. I'm thinking about a queue with the plain stream (raw) and one with the replaygain applied. Plain stream to actively listen to the music, with replaygain for background music (big playlist with different albums). What do you think. is something like this possible?

    Wow, great, thanks! Just installed it, works
    Two questions, though:
    1.) I gave Asset a new name in the options. This is also reflected in the configuration files (syswow64-path...). This name then is displayed in both PlugPlayer and Songbook properly. Still, when rebooting the server, Asset is displayed as "Asset-uPnP:servername" again. Only when restarting Asset from the Dashboard, the new name comes up again, but is lost at the server-reboot, again. Any idea, why?

    2.) How is the option "multidisk-albums [disc] [track] [title]" supposed to display in Songbook and Plugplayer? In Songbook, with multidisk-albums (of course, tags are set correctly) I do get the display (words written in italic are MY COMMENTS)

    1. Title1 (of disc 1)
    2. Title2 (of disk 1)
    .
    .
    1. Title1 (of disc 2)
    2. Title 2 (of disk 2)
    .
    .

    And with Plugplayer it is

    Title 1 (of disc 1)
    Title 2 (of disk 1)
    .
    .
    Title 1 (of disc 2)
    Title 2 (of disk 2)
    .
    .

    So, a disknumber is never displayed. In this example, I have set the display-option [track] [title] off. When I set this to on, I do get a multi-disk-album display for
    Songbook:

    1. 1. Title 1 (of disk 1)
    2. 2. Title 2 (of disk 1)
    .
    .
    1. 1. Title 1 (of disk 2)
    2. 2. Title 2 (of disk 2)
    etc

    and Plugplayer

    1. Title 1 (of disk 1)
    2. Title 2 (of disk 1)
    .
    .
    1. Title 1 (of disk 2)
    2. Title 2 (of disk 1)
    etc.

    So, a disknumber never ever is displayed in both Plugplayer and Songbook, but they seem to recognize them, since they sort the discs properly. Do they omit the display?

    It seems that if I looked at the computer the wrong way, it would attempt a rescan.
    Please clarify, looked how? by browsing with Windows Explorer?

    UPDATE: did a full rescan, again, no changes.
    Then stopped the service, deleted the whole umedialibrary directory, did a reinstall, edited the MediadatabasefieldsV4.txt file, and did a whole rescan: this corrected the problem
    So: upgrading to the version of Sept. 20th in my case made it necessary to start configuring from scratch, just a forced rescan did not work.

    just installed the latest update from Sept 20th.
    This, compared to the previous one, seems to not index custom tags, that I defined in MediadatabasefielsV4.txt under the path Windows\Syswow64.....etc. path (running Asset as a service)
    I am still using the form
    opus,0,NVARCHAR(150)
    movement,0,NVARCHAR(150)
    etc.
    for those tags. Any changes of rules to this?

    Thanks

    Re: Asset UPnP v4

    I too noticed the "Bits" option is missing from Advanced Search. Also, the "Detect Changes" and "Refresh All" options are missing from the Details section of Advanced Search. I found it started much faster than implementing it from the Asset configuration dialog.

    One other thing I noticed is that I had to turn off Detect And Catalog New Tracks in the Asset configuration dialog. It seems that if I looked at the computer the wrong way, it would attempt a rescan.

    I'm using the latest build which I downloaded this morning. It was over-installed on top of the existing install (not allowing for an uninstall first).

    I'm using Kinsky desktop 4.17 and running on Windows 7 Professional 32bit.

    All working now, thank you. However, I have noticed that with the latest version of Kinsky (4.2.1), album art takes a long time to load.
    Tried 4.1.7 (latest stable release) and it is very fast reading art from a ripnas (less than 1 second to populate art on the screen).

    You would install R3 registered, then install R4 over the top.

    Thx for the new version.
    I tried it on windows 7. I am a registered user. How can i register a beta? Now functionality is restricted.
    I also very much miss the search folder Bits. -> 24 bits. It was in v3. I can not find it in v4

    Asset is running on a RipNAS and Kinsky on a Windows 7 PC.

    Asset runs on the NAS and Kinsky on your PC, or ipad?

    This is for listings of albums - it is taking minutes. I have also tried reinstalling Kinsky, but it seems to make no difference.
