Asset UPnP for QNAP

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Sorry if something not correct, I am new here,
I have successfully installed Asset UONP on my QNAP 469 pro.
Now it tells me that my free installation will end in three days.
I purchase already 5 licenses on Assett premium, but I cannot buy the Qnap, or registered it.

What can I do ? thanks

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Lossless is lossless (flac and wave are lossless), no quality is lost.

Hi Spoon,

Same issue with this change and asset restarted.

To ensure networking was no way an issue I took the cable out of the qnap and put it into my laptop and ran the PC version of Asset, which appears to be working perfectly.

A friend of mine who has a similar setup to me hifi wise and network wise and the same qnap 219p device, who also appears to have the same problem.

So hopefully by doing that I have ruled out anything in my network or qnap or cabling or the streaming device.

Thanks.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

If they are flac files, set in the configuration page for FLAC to be sent 'As Wav', this will allow Asset to decode the FLAC and our decoder is potentially way more robust than the Linn decoder.

I'll give this a whirl tonight. thanks.

Out of interest, apart from the file type would is cause any potential degrade in quality? or will it just present a different file format?

Thanks.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

I have tested it today, FLAC and Wave file 2 channel 24 bit 192KHz all played for 30 minutes without interruption, even if the QNAP was stressed by copying files to and from it and setting asset to rescan, no dropouts on an Accurate DS. I do not know what to suggest, if you can look at the qnap control panel, bottom right is the resource monitor, see what CPU usage is like.

Hi,

just noticed, it happens almost once throughout any track from Mark Knopflers - Privateering, would it be helpful for me to send you the album and see if the same issue happens to yourself? this is only 96KHz/24bit 2 channel flac.

I can confirm there is no corruption, I have tried another copy of the album from a friend just in case the copy I had on my qnap got bitrot! haha.

I wonder if it is something to do with the types of files I am playing? never had an issue in the normal PC version of asset.

Most of my music is from the Linn site.

CPU/RAM usage looks fine, this is taken from the moment of the drop



Thanks.

Hi Spoon,

Did you have any more thoughts on this one

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

The issue was with IP address lookup which was causing the crash, Test 10 included this fix also, it should not be crashing as earlier versions to Test9a. Does test 10 crash?

It works so far. it is running an counting tracks

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

We do not have a 32 bit qnap, Asset is built to native target the QNAP, that means it has to be compiled on each model, the 32 bit qnap was not that popular and is no longer available.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

The 32 bit ATOM qnaps are not supported sorry.

Thank You Spoon fpr your answer, but i dont understand this!

i have two QNAP 439 systems running and want to get the "best media-server"... actually i am running minimserver, but the possibility running asset would be great...but it seems to buy a new QNAP why?

Could you explain this?

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Hello,

sorry for asking this, but i wonder that only the package for:
QNAP _12, _19, _20, _21, HS-210
QNAP _69, _70
x09 QNAP

are ready for downloading.

What about the QNAP Models x39 Pro - with Intel Atom Processor?

That is a single core CPU and the Intel package is not working based on 64 bit.

It would be great if someone could explain this to me.

Regards, André

The 32 bit ATOM qnaps are not supported sorry.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Spoon, how can I affect, that the compilation folder is scanned last?
My compilations are located in a folder named "Various Artists". The compilation tag is set "1"

In my opinion it would be better if asset ignores cover art from compilations for albums with compilation tag set "0".

You would remove the various artists folder, let asset scan first time then re-add.
