Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

Hi Spoon,

Question No 2!!

I have a Mac mini with Asset loaded. If i "point" Asset to look at the music folder on my NAS upstaires in another room away from the HiFi and scan that folder. I can see all the albums etc, but when i go to play them via Naim N-Stream app it reports back "Can't Play, Skipped Track" and generally won't play anything. If you using the same app and I point it to the music folder on the NAS with Asset loaded I have no problems. I don't have any problems with Logitech Media Sever loaded on the Mac Mini also pointing at the music folder on the NAS.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

Potentially yes, if something has duplicated most of your collection there, then remove that folder (copy somewhere else that asset will not scan in case you need it)

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

It is great yes, the file you played was duplicated:

/Volumes/ELEMENTS/shares/Music/Lossless/Unknown Artist/Unknown Album/01 Randy Crawford - I Stand Accused.wav
/Volumes/ELEMENTS/shares/Music/Lossless/Randy Crawford/Raw Silk/01 Randy Crawford - I Stand Accused.wav

Thank you Spoon for all your help.

One thought that occurred to my "limited" knowledge on this subject...If I were to "take away" the folder with all "unknown Artist", would this not cure my problem? Thus as in the case of Randy Crawford the music resides in /Volumes/ELEMENTS/shares/Music/Lossless/Randy Crawford/Raw Silk/01 Randy Crawford - I Stand Accused.wav anyway. So there fore I would not lose anything?

Help?!

Hi Spoon,

My Router is a BT HomeHub 3 - Type A

According to "the Internet" these are the manufacturing details... "hardware contained within the Home Hub 3A was manufactured by Siemens' Gigaset division (now Sagem) and is based on a Lantiq XWAYTM ARX168 chipset supporting ADSL2+"

Hope that helps.

What make / model is your router ?

>Unknown Artist/Unknown Album

dBpoweramp would not put in this folder unless the artist was actually called 'Unknown Artist', I think something else (ever run minimserver?) has duplicated your tracks, because it cannot read the tags, even though they are there.

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

If you have access to a PC the install PerfectTUNEs, it can detect and allow you to remove these duplicates.

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

Wow, darn me! I've never noticed that before!

Strangely the NAS does not report duplicate songs via Asset. Although the folder "Unknown Artist" etc does exist in there. I have looked at the folder structure and it seems that when ripping with dbPoweramp that under the artist it has the folder with just the JPEG album cover in it. Under unknown artist folder all the songs exist. using "right click and edit" all tagging seems ok. I am unclear as to why there is a separation between artist & song& Also, this would mean "moving" all songs from the unknown artist folder into there correct destination, is this correct? If so, is there a "quick" way of doing this?

Thank you Spoon for your help. You the man!!!

Hi,

Just sent email hope it is correct?

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

One of those albums where it shows 2 duplicate tracks, if you can enable debugging (on the configuration page), then play both files then view the debug log and email to us please:

(then switch debugging off):

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

Hi,
First post and great to be here. Well done Spoon and all concerned (that's the creeping out of the way!)

I use Asset on my NAS and all works well. I have recently purchased a Mac Mini and have "copied/pasted" my music off the NAS to an external drive and connected external hard drive to the Mac Mini. This is where it gets strange. The NAS running Windows Home Server reports in Asset to have 25k or songs. Asset on the Mac Mini reports 31K songs. Various albums (not all) are showing two of every song via Asset on the Mac. I looked on the external hard drive in that folder, no duplicate song existed. Doing a "refresh all" does not resolve this. The audio path in "configure" of Asset all points to the correct path.
I confess I am new to all things Mac, and maybe I am doing something wrong.

Help...please.

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

Hi, I have a 2009 iMac 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, OSX 10.9 Mavericks. (same problem was already present in Mountain Lion).

Control points I have used include a large Variety: Panasonic TV, Sony TV, Musical Fidelity streamer, 8player iPad, Media Connect iPhone & iPad, Musical Fidelity iPad App. It basically doesn't matter what I'm using, the server doesn't become visible unless another one (Twonky) is running already. Once running, the other server can be stopped but this makes restarts to Asset unsuccessful. I want to lose this dependency on Twonky to make Asset work. I'm sure there must be a setting or permission causing this somewhere.

Thanks for your help.

On full release.

Which MAC do you have? what is your control point?
