Asset UPnP for Linux

Re: Asset UPnP for Linux

Hi,

I've just installed Asset on my home made NAS (Debian based) and it works like a charm ! After testing all servers available on Linux, it seems that Assets is the best server to be used with my Pioneer N50.

I understand that the Linux version is still a work in progress and that the navigation tree customization is not available yet, but could you please add the "Compilation / Album" navigation branch in the default tree ?

In addition, it seems that the playlists m3u files are not read by Asset as absolute path but relative to the playlist location (this seems also true for the Mac version).

All my songs are under /home/pub/music/artist/album and the playlists under /home/pub/playlists/. Checking the log files, I saw that the tracks served to the player are /home/pub/playlists//home/pub/music/artist/album/songfile. Then I had to manually change all tracks in the m3u file to ../music/artist/album/songfile to make it work. Tracks file paths starting by / should be understood as absolute path not relative.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Asset UPnP for Linux

First off, I'm aware it's a build for Linux, not Synology. This is just an observation, not a bug report, although it would be awesome if it could be resolved.
I tried installing the package on a Synology DS713+ but I ran into dependency problems (64 bit):
I would love to run Asset on the NAS as this would take my Windows PC out of the equation. For now, I guess I will just have to start harassing Synology support about their use of an ancient library.

You are not the only one whishing Asset on a Synology. I am running a DS412+.:smile2:
Ik had to stop Asset on my Windows machine.

We will check into the storage location for settings

The next update will have a configurable rescan time.

Wonderful! Thank you.

Re: Asset UPnP for Linux

Hello Spoon,

Many thanks from me also for the work done on AssetUPnP for Linux. I have it running quite well on my unRAID server (unRAID v5.0.4 - Slackware 13.1 based).

Getting Asset running was straightforward, although I have a couple of questions / possible requests....

1) By default, AssetUPnP stores it's database and settings in a directory whch under unRAID happens to be located in the RAM filing system. This means that settings and the scanned database are lost after a restart. By using a symlink in my start-up script I was able to store the settings and database in a directory that I have specified which is located on a physical hard drive. In my case that is a folder on my unRAID cache drive, but I guess it could be pretty much anywhere. This works, and the settings and database survive restarts, even remembering how many days I have remaining for the "trial". But I wonder, is there a mechanism to allow the folder for the settings and data to be specified directly (perhaps from a switch or two in the command line)? This would make usage somewhat simpler in cases like this were the data and settings are otherwise only temporarily stored.

2) AssetUPnP seems to regularly scan the specified audio folders and files for new or modified content. That's a great feature, except that it wakes up my hard drives when I really would rather they were left idle. Is there a way to optionally inhibit the automatic scanning, or alternatively to change the frequency of the scan?

Apart from these two issues, I am so far very impressed. Clients have included Roku SoundBridge (playing AAC and ALAC natively, and FLAC transcoded to WAV / LPCM), Frontier Silicon based streamers such as the Roberts Stream 83i (playing AAC and FLAC natively with ALAC trancoded) as well as Android and iOS apps such as PlugPlayer, Skifta, etc.

Cheers,

Les.

Re: Asset UPnP for Linux

When it expires certain advanced functionality will be removed. There is currently no way to prevent it other than wait for the full release (I hope will be February).

Re: Asset UPnP for Linux

Hi,
first: thanks for making this available, it runs fine on my Scientific Linux 6.4 server (which is basically a RHEL Clone like CentOs), however scanning ~84k songs takes some time :-), but it feeds my Naim Uniti pretty well so far.

I tried to not run this as root, so I created a assetupnp user and shifted the files into /opt/asset and run the upnp server from there as user 'assetupnp', which does fine so far, however the logfile links from the configure website stay empty.. but I think I can live with that. Oh, and I made a very basic init-script and created a service with chkconfig for that too, so it will start automatically when rebooting the next time. But I guess those things will come in the final release anyway

I just wonder if this somehow expires after 30 days then and if and how I can prevent it from doing this, as I can only see Windows Version to be purchased..

Regards,
Ralf

We are slowly getting to the bottom of this.

Re: Asset UPnP for Linux

Thanks for the update, Spoon.

If I install and run the 32-bit version of Asset, I get the following error messages:
./AssetUPnP: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.9' not found (required by ./AssetUPnP)
./AssetUPnP: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by ./AssetUPnP)

If I delete all files and install and run the 64-bit version of Asset, I get the following error message:
error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

Any further suggestions?

Hello Again.

+1 on the above on my Qnap TS-269L

Thanks Spoon and PeterP for your efforts so far , it Is much appreciated however!

Hello,

Same for me, for instance on QNAP 870. Software package : 4.0.5

For better information, I have redone the thing from scratch and I wonder, I am not a linux specialist, if it is normal that the command rm *.gz returns nothing.
Maybe the unpacking is not "complete".

Re: Asset UPnP for Linux

Should be no issues running without sudo.

Re: Asset UPnP for Linux

Another question, Linux as implemented in the TS-269L does not recognize the "sudo" command. Are there issues in running the implementation without using "sudo"?
