Asset UPnP for Linux

Re: Asset UPnP for Linux

Hi Spoon,

Thanks for the 19th Feb update. Still working well. I have set the rescan interval to daily since I could not set it to zero. (Would have like to be able to only scan on demand, but long intervals are OK.)

I am generally running under unRAID 5 (Slackware 13.1 and 32 bit), but I also tried unRAID 6 beta (now Slackware 14.1 and 64 bit) so I used the 64 bit AssetUPnP build and that also worked. unRAID is evolving to support a managed plug-in system, so I will keep an eye on that.

Is there any news on being able to specify the path used for database and settings storage?

Many thanks.

Les.

1: Only when it is ready, the pi and Mac versions are getting close, the Linux and QNAP have a little way to go.
2: We intend to have split licenses with different price points, the PC and MAC would go on one shared license, the others would be split so we can ascertain their popularity.

Re: Asset UPnP for Linux

Hello,
1st of all: works quite good on fedora 20
But I have two questions :
1st: when do you plan to release a final, stable (non-beta) version with all features enabled (Radio Times, etc) ?
2nd: Few years ago I bought Asset for Windows. Will this Linux version need a separate license to buy ?

Although the cron job @reboot does not work..

This is an issue with the Jail and the post is informational.

Re: Asset UPnP for Linux

Although I am getting a kernel message on my Freenas box which is probably due to the Jail implementation that says:

prmlimit64 not implemented (does this mean anything to you)

I can confirm that Asset (32 bit) runs in a Freenas Debian (7) 32 bit Jail. This means I no longer have to switch on my Windows Server to use Asset as I can use the same share that the Sonos uses and it is much more powerful than MiniDNLA.

For those that don't know Freenas is a Freebsd based NAS solution running ZFS, although as a warning it has much more of a resource requirement than simple home use nas boxes (8GB Ram and ECC memory as a minimum)

Ah, then it might just work for you.

Re: Asset UPnP for Linux

No, as it is compiled for an Intel CPU, the readynas is arm

No, the Readynas 516 uses an Intel Ivy Bridge Core I3-3220 3.3Ghz Dual Core Processor.

NetGear today announced two new ARM devices (RN102 and RN104), the 300 series (RN312, RN314 and RN316) which use Intel Atom CPUs and the RN516 (high-end desktop) which uses an Intel Core i3 CPU .

Re: Asset UPnP for Linux

Hello,

will Asset UPnP for Linux also run on the Netgear Readynas 516?

It runs with ReadyNAS OS 6. ReadyNAS OS 6 uses Debian Wheezy/Sid and a 3.x kernel.

Re: Asset UPnP for Linux

Update 10th January

- Scanning no longer recurses into hidden folders (dot-prefixed, .folder).
- Greatly reduced CPU & RAM usage when refreshing large librarires
- Faster response to user requested library refresh
- Removed unnecessary full library rescan in certain configuration change scenarios.
- Improved internet radio compatibility.
- Improved application stability.
- Built on Debian6 again, for broader compatibility (old UnRAID etc).

Re: Asset UPnP for Linux

GLIBCXX_3.4.15 problem will be dealt with, thanks for reporting. Clearly we need to build on Debian 6 rather than 7.
It would be helpful to know what exact Linux distro you're using when getting this error.

My omission, sorry. I am running under unRAID 5.0.5 which is based on Slackware 13.1 (old, but very solid).

For info, the new unRAID 6 beta is based on 14.1 I believe and is 64 bit only, but I don't use that at present.

Re: Asset UPnP for Linux

Hi Spoon,

Thanks for the update. Sadly I have run into this problem again that we saw further back in this thread....

./AssetUPnP: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by ./AssetUPnP)

Is this due to a missing library in the build? I previously had the problem that NumbRunaway reported last time and it was fixed just after that until this most recent build.

Any thoughts? Thanks.
