Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

Running great on the latest version but I am still stuck with the same problem. In order to get Asset to work on my Mac, I have to have another upnp server running first, e.g. Twonky. Launch Asset on its own and there is no Asset Server visible on my network. There has to be a way to cure this issue but I have no idea where to start looking. Please could someone reading this advise.

PS. Would love Dynamic Browsing back. I guess the trial ended a month or so back. When will you be accepting premium registrations for Asset OSX?

Hi Spoon,

I love the new version. Dynamic browsing is great and the option to customise the tree. I'm having one persistent issue on my iMac (OS X 10.8.5) and that is launching and restarting Asset. I had almost given up on Asset ever working and in the end I installed Twonky to try that server out - Twonky it turns out is useless to me because my Music is in ALAC which my streamer doesn't support and transcoding is too complicated to get working. In any case it turns out when Twonky (even the expired trial version) is running on my Mac, Asset will launch perfectly. Shut down Twonky and Asset keeps running. Restarting Asset is impossible without first launching Twonky. I am hoping to find some advice from you or others on this forum as to what might be wrong with my OS X configuration. Note, this issue also affects the Songbird Media server. It won't launch unless Twonky is running but is also OK to carry on once you shut down Twonky. Of course I have a workaround but I don't want to use system resources running an expired version of Twonky forever just to support Asset.

Second question: is it possible to have the album name in the song titles list and if so how? I browse for example a song title and find I have 6 versions, four by Bob Dylan and two by another artist. I see the artist because it appears in square brackets after the song title. It would be a massive help if I could also see in more brackets after the artist, the album the song is from. E.g.

Song Title 1 [Bob Dylan][Album 1]
Song Title 1 [Bob Dylan][Album 2]

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

Thanks, Spoon. Problem solved.

Very impressed by the latest Beta of Asset. I used to use it all the time on my Windows PC before switching to Apple, and I have missed it. A version that would run on QNAPs would be even better!

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

There should be an option under General Settings called 'Contributing Artists with Main Artists'

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

When searching. For example, when searching in Library>Asset UPnP>Genre>Chamber, an album of Beethoven violin sonatas performed by Martha Argerich and Gidon Kremer is only listed under Argerich, not Kremer. I have tested several other multi-artist albums in several different control points with the same result.

Displays when searching the list of artists? or when playing a track?

Re: Asset UPnP For OSX (MAC)

Apologies if this has been raised elsewhere, but now that I have Asset UPnP up and running on my iMac following the Configuration fix (thanks, Spoon) I find that it only displays the first-named artist when there are multiple artists present. I use the \\ separator for multiple artists. Is this a problem for Asset?
