Asset UPnP for QNAP

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Looking at the log, there is 100's of requests for:

http://192.168.1.16:26125/aa/25076/3906394111/cover.jpg?size=90

That is the control point or player constantly requesting the same album art and requesting that Asset resizes the art to 90 pixels. What player and control point are you using, because it should not be doing this.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Thanks for the feedback. Even if the CPU usage occurs only during rescans, this situation is unacceptable and is being looked into.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Hi

It appears you are right, it is when the library rescans - it has long completed the full rescan I assume it is just rechecking for new content but when this happens it occasionally drops a few times in a track.

It does appear to be checking quite frequently though. - i'll e-mail the log anyway but obviously I guess it should not affect streaming a file to one device whilst doing a rescan? or is my qnap simply just not powerful enough for what I am expecting? it's only job is to stream music and run the array.

Log should be in your inbox if that is any use.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

kg648,

What audio formats do you have in your music library?

It would be most useful if you could enable logging in Asset configuration, keep Asset running with high CPU usage for a minute and email us the logs [ http://www.dbpoweramp.com/email.htm ].

Thanks.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

If you stop streaming what happens to cpu?

it drops to 88% when not streaming and if I disable asset 4%

If I can somehow provide further diagnostics or logs let me know.

Thanks

Indeed, it does have 512MB of memory and an ARM CPU

Presumably some of the intel QNAP boxes would be comparable

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Yes slimserver.pl is nothing to do with asset.

A QNAP is probably 100x slower than your PC, it might only have 512MB of memory and a ARM CPU.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

I've noticed it to be noticeably slower when browsing my library compared to when I used my Windows laptop running Asset pointing at my QNAP. My control point is saying "please wait" (or connecting) at each point I browse through the tree.


AssetUPnP uses about 60% of CPU when browsing and sometimes 85% but hardly any when streaming!

Spoon…BTW....I take it the "slimserver.pl" process is nothing to do with you, I don't know why that's running as I stopped playing with Squeezebox a long time ago and it's not enabled according to the QNAP GUI!

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Is anything interacting with Asset (browsing all trees)? or is it doing a full rescan?

Assuming you are talking to me, nope rescan is complete and nothing browsing just idle, streaming to one device.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Thanks Michel

I have it set the way I want at the moment but if I go back into the browse tree non of my selections are still checked. It doesn't affect anything as long as I don't make any changes, if I want to make any change in the browse tree then I have to make sure I remember my previous selections.

Do you selections stay checked when you go out and come back into the browse tree?

Thanks

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Much better than the previous version works fairly good with my 40k+ track count, only complaints from me are;

Qnap 219P+
Uses 98% CPU constantly whilst streaming and 88% when idle, the previous version did not which appears to result in the odd pause half way through a track. ( happened twice in the last few minutes ) I can confirm it is not a network issue and I do not have any other processes apart from the standard Qnap stuff running.

CPU drops to 4% when disabling Asset via the control panel.

Thanks,
Keep it up spoon!

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Hi,

Browse tree works fine on my control points Kinsky and Asset.
katywu, maybe you have mixed up the root and subfolder structure \genre and +\genre and +\+\genre for example ?

Spoon,
Tunein radio folder is populated in the control point, however it looks like the setting from the config page is not used.
While i have entered "Netherlands" in the config page, all available radiostations are shown, in very structure way that is
when selecting radiostations, my linn majik dsi switches to upnpav, but sadly no sound coming from the speakers.
tried different radio stations no succes.

Hope this helps.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Great news that we now have the browse tree available!

I seem to be getting some strange results with regards to the way the tree is displayed on my control point. I'll try and work out exactly what's going on but one obvious thing is that my selections in the browse tree aren't saved. So I can check a number of options and apply but when I go back to the tree my selections have disappeared?

Any ideas, is it not saving the selections?
