Asset UPnP for QNAP

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Hey Spoon,

Any chance of getting a x86 (not 64 bit build)?
I've got a 259Pro+ that I'd like to use for this.

Thanks.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

I'm sorry, I do not know how to do that.

Thanks

You would use a tag editing program, either dBpoweramp or something like mp3tag.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Thanks, this is most useful.
Please try running Asset with --upnponly switch, like this:
./AssetUPnP --upnponly
Does it keep running or does it crash and return to command prompt?

Hi PeterP,

Doing it, the following come out :

[/share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/Test9/bin] * ./AssetUPnP --upnponly
Segmentation fault
[/share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/Test9/bin] *

Of course no process get started on the NAS neither....

Regards,

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

otherwise you can add the Compilation tag as '1' to the file ID tags and Asset will treat as Various Artist albums.

I'm sorry, I do not know how to do that.

Thanks

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

If you have album artist set, then browse Advanced Search >> Album Artist / Album

otherwise you can add the Compilation tag as '1' to the file ID tags and Asset will treat as Various Artist albums.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Thanks for the trial version, it's a great job.

I have a question, I have made myself albums (flac) with various artists with MediaMonkey.
The asset shows the songs as a separate album.
I had also previously the double CD with an album on my N-Stream.
The Twonky server displays the albums correctly.
I am using N-stream.
Can you tell me the right settings, I have now 200 albums more.

Thank you

Andrey

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Sadly, I still get the same issue with v9, CPU/RAM look very low <20%/

After the initial serving of the file I see the following when the "brief pause" happens - again at this time the rescan is happening.

After the brief 1-2 second pause the track appears streaming from where it stopped.

Serve Entity Set to: audio/x-flac

SELECT * FROM t_artist;

SELECT * FROM t_album;

SELECT * FROM t_genre;

SELECT * FROM t_conductor;

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

with v9, I can confirm it is better but I am still getting drops in streaming for a split second when rescans happen.

CPU/Ram are sitting very low so no obvious issues there.

When the "brief pause" happens the following occours;

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

[ also relevant to anyone else having the same problem - configuration page entirely inaccessible ]

1. *DISABLE* the Asset app to make sure it's not running, using QNAP App Center.

2. Please log in to your QNAP unit using SSH.

http://wiki.qnap.com/wiki/How_to_SSH_into_your_QNAP_device

3. Navigate to your Asset QPKG installation directory.
Example:
cd /share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/Test9/bin
Exact path may vary depending on your QNAP model (the "HDA_DATA" part - some configurations use "MD0_DATA" instead) and Asset version (the "Test9" part) installed.

4. Run Asset manually
./AssetUPnP
If it fails to start up, it ought to show some useful information bits there.
Please post what exactly the console says after starting Asset.
In order to quit the running Asset process you've started, press Ctrl+C.

For those who have no Asset Config page or Asset running, please follow the above with Test9 and post the resulting message shown in the console.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

@Karl,

Asset will always unify the displayed value as 'The xxxx', however it sorts based on the rules, so 'The Beatles' would appear under Artist >> [b]

2: asset uses whatever it can find first for an artist, if you put your compilation albums in a folder which is scanned last they will be just used to fill missing.
3: should be fixed by new release

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Update 10th January

- Removed support for serving resized album art images on ARM machines
- Fixed "forced rescan period" option not being shown.
- 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.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

3. problem
Scanning library doesn't stop. After scanning all titles, scanning starts again. This isn't normal, is it?

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Hi,

I am using a TS-121, installed Asset 8_0.1. Tagging with mp3tag.

1. problem
I tagged my files with album artists like 'beatles, the' or 'chemical brothers, the' and I want to get them sorted this way.
In the configuration page I chose for ''The' Artist & Album Handling' -> 'Leave as is' but the album artists are sorted like 'the beatles', 'the bee gees', 'the chemical brothers' and so on.
What's wrong here?

2. problem
In Kinsky a lot of album artists are shown with wrong cover. Most of the shown covers are from compiltions in which the album artist is represented with one track.

Thanx for help.
