Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

ok.I'll try disabling LPCM 24 bit. But how should I send 24 bit ALAC files to the Oppo? As WAV?

I tried setting m4a and mp4 to WAV and it wouldn't play any of them. Is there any way to play 24 bit ALAC files?

Which ever address shows, change the xx.x.x.xx to 127.0.0.1 until we track this one down.

thanks Spoon but that's not working for me either. Tried a couple of ports but no luck. Interestingly I'm running asset upnp for mac at work with absolutely no problems - rock solid!

51528 is the port number, the xx.x.x.xx is the value shown by firefox?

yes, that's right

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

Having problem with connecting to server. It works for a day then I get the following message:
Unable to connect







Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at xx.x.x.xx:53981.





The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
the server address 53981 isn't constant - i've seen several different addresses - (currently trying to conect to xx.x.x.xx:51528).
really not sure how to deal with this - when it does work Asset upnp is by far the best server i've used!
thanks

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

Perhaps it is the 24 bit files the oppo cannot play. If you have enabled 24 bit and LPCM then the oppo cannot play those.

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

And now it seems that all Flac and 96/24 ALAC files are static, even if I set it to transcode to PCM

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

So I uninstalled Windows Asset and installed the MAc version. Got to the point where the page says restarting and rescanning library. It's been stuck there for about 11 hours. How do I fix it?

After quoting Asset and reconfiguring it, it seems to work but still refuses to play many of my Alac files. They show up as PCM, but the oppo skips a lot of them. I don't know why.

Should I configure Asset to transcode them to another format, besides PCM? But I don't want to lose the quality.

Why do these alac files play fine on my Apple TV?

Thanks for your help.

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

1. Yes
2. It should be able to, as long as Asset can access the files.

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

Hi Spoon.

Am a newbie here. I just got myself a Naim Superuniti and am trying to get it to read my music library on my iMac.

I installed Asset UPnP for Mac then realised it did not read my playlists (keep asking for premium registration). So I went ahead and paid for premium registration only to realise (now after reading this thread) that the Mac Beta version of Asset does not support the premium registration. :(

So my questions are these:

1. I guess if I use Asset for Mac (for now) I can't read my playlists?
2. Or I can use Asset with Crossover (only just found out I could do that) since I paid for premium registration. Will I be able to read my Itunes library playlists after that?

Thanks.

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

Installed Asset today on my iMac running OSX 10.8.4. Had no problems until I rebooted and now i'm getting a message that Safari can't connect to the server when I try and configure Asset. Just uninstalled and reinstalled ASset with the same result. Not sure what to do! The server address is coming up as: http://10.0.1.29:56276/config.
thanks

There should be no difference on Assets end.
