Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

How are the files stored? locally on a USB or over a network share?

Thanks for replying. They're stored on a powered USB HDD mounted at /media/usbhdd (music files stored at /media/usbhdd/Music/Albums). I installed the latest update and the same problem exists. The tracks get counted (so I assume that Asset is seeing the files on the hard drive), but the library is not getting updated.

Update: The library log reports "Error cannot read track meta, file must be in use" for every track.

I really appreciate your time.

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

Like Graham, I can not enable logging. (Either as root or pi) Other than that the app is working reasonably well. Occasionally it gets it's index corrupted, but if I clear and rebuild it seems ok. I also notice quite a few cif errors in the syslog when Pi is indexing.. I have no idea why that is a happening, but I suspect this is hitting the scan performance which is quite slow. If I can get Pi debug going I might learn more, but this might be nothing to do with Asset

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

Hi there.

Firstly congrats on migrating Asset to the Pi.

I have been following this thread and building your beta releases upon the Pi as you release them. I have now installed this mornings release after a complete clear down of the previous build.

I had much the same issues as detailed in the post ny Stephan. Could not enable logging and not all files were being indexed. I am running on the latest Raspbarian and music content is stored on my NAS which is connected via cifs (autofs). I can see all media files on the NAS directly from the Pi.

I can now enable debug logging just fine. This produces a UPnP log but no library log that I can see.

Some files are still not being indexed.

The vast majority are. From my testing thus far it would seem that the missing files are those created by Exact Audio Copy as opposed to another ripper I also use. EAC creates UTF8 (.m3u8) playlist files in each album directory as it goes whilst the other ripper creates a .m3u file in each directory. maybe they also tag the rest of the file in a different manner thus causing them to not be indexed? Other upnp servers I have running do index the same files (synology built in for example).

keep up the good work!

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

Just some additional info:

I copied 2 ripped CDs onto a memory stick and plugged this directly into the Pi. This is scanned OK and the music plays as expected.

I assume this means I have installed Asset OK and that there is something wrong with my CIF mount. I can view music on the CIF mount ok from the command line so this looks to be fine.

Thanks for any further help.

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

I can't enable debug logging. I check the box, click Apply button, Asset restarts and the debug box is unchecked again.

Could this be a file permissions problem? I can set other options OK on the configuration page.

I don't see any scanning status info on the configuration page.

Should the source be unzipped and owned by root or pi?

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

The web configuration page will show the status of the scanning, it should show a file count whilst scanning.

If you enable the debug log it should show scanning issues.

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

I've downloaded the latest build, deleted ~pi/.dBpoweramp, rebooted the Pi, added /mnt/flac_files as the watch folder and I'm still not seeing any content in ChorusDS.

During media scanning are there any files I can check to watch progress or to see any errors?

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

For beta we stick normally to the same version number.

Try restarting your Pi fully, then a full rescan.

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

Using the latest release as of 50 minutes ago?

I have done this now, and I have many lines like this in the lib log.

Read tags attempt from: /mnt/hdd/music/GUN/1994 - Swagger/06 - Something Worthwhile.mp3
Error cannot read track meta, file must be in use.

The MiniDLNA server is shut down, and in my opinion there is no other program accessing this file.
Any suggestions hot to investigate this problem?

Am I right that you have not increment the version number?

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

Hello together,

I have installed the R14.2 Beta at my Pi. Asset runs fine, but I found 2 things:
- the debug flag is not saved, that means after a restart the flag is cleared
- the indexer does not found all files

I run MiniDLNA on the same Pi which finds all music files.
The music is stored on a external USB HDD with exFat.
Asset runs under the user pi on the latest raspbian wheezy.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.
Stephan

Update 6th December

Fix so configuration will save
Able to scan CIFS shares

[Graham Russell]

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

Ah ok thanks. I got the impression some had got CIFS working, but I'll wait for the new build.

[Spoon]

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

There is actually a bug to do with CIFS shares which will be fixed tomorrow.

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

I have just set up a new Raspberry Pi to have a play with Asset.

I am running Asset as user pi and can navigate to the web page ok. My music is mounted via cifs to /mnt/flac_files. I can see the folders containing the music ok using ls -l /mnt/flac_files.

In the configuration webpage I have put /mnt/flac_files in the watched media folders box. But from ChorusDS I'm not seeing any music appear. The Artist/Album, Album etc pages just contain empty containers.

When I check the Debug Logging Enabled box and restart Asset it becomes unchecked again. Should this stay on when checked and Asset is restarted?

I am hoping to see info in the log files to help me diagnose whether Asset is trying to scan the music folders but the logs are empty.

I assume I've done something wrong but I'm not quite sure what. Any ideas what I should check or modify?

I've run Asset UPnP for a few years on Windows and I'm really keen to get it going on the Pi.

Thanks
Graham
