Asset UPnP for QNAP

[kg648]

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

I have mentioned one potential issue which is awaiting approval, just another observation the scanning of the library is slower as the hard disks are not showing much activity and it was roughly doing 1000 in around 20 seconds but now it takes around 3 minutes to do 1000.

Is this the sacrifice in order to keep the CPU usage sensible?

Thanks.

No the sacrifice it is make it crash resistant.

Hi,

Ok, sadly it keeps dropping out, I must admit not quite as much as the previous build but every few songs - occasionally the qnap is going in the high 90's CPU wise on occasion I had enabled logging and when it happened the following showed if the bottom section means anything useful?;

Gents, I have sent you some more logs over relating to the issue in the post awaiting to be approved.

Hopefully they are of some help, thanks again.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

I'm running into a problem where beta8 for QNAP x19 rescans the library repeatedly. It seems to be triggered by browsing in Kinsky, but I'm not entirely certain. I have Asset installed on a Win7Pro PC, but it is disabled (the PC is still running).

The only options I've changed from default are: Scanning for new titles is turned off, L24 support is turned on and I have FLAC files transcoding to WAV.

This also happened in beta6 & beta7.

The rescan happens to me also, not constantly I would say around 15mins or so inbetween, I just assumed it was normal as asset was always constantly checking for new files on my proper server. ?

@Gandalf

Please install Test8 and see if you still have the issue.

Test8 does not work, still having the issue :(

Great, just let me know, if there is something I can do to help troubleshoot.

To anyone experiencing "config page unresponsive" issue-
Does your QNAP unit by any chance have multiple IP addresses on the network?

At least in my case I used QNAP (Current firmware version:4.1.0, Date:2013/12/19) default values, so it gets IP by DHCP & it is always same - I think no change to have multible IPs.
What comes first to my mind that QNAP blocks port 45537 e.g. for some security reasons.

Interestingly, I tried Minimserver, sorry about that & looks like PC app Minimwatch (access to config) is not able access either. So, maybe QNAP have done some changes recently?

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

If the QNAP is blocking the 45537 port, then Asset its self would not work on its upnp port either (26125)

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Yes, it does not work. Twonky, Minimserver & QNAP own servers are working. Multible servers was causing some confusion due sometimes in UPnP client views just shows directory name & not the server name like Twonky. So, When I was not able to go to config I was not able to verify if Asset was really working or not. I shut down all other servers than Asset & then able to see that it is not working.

It is also interesting that ipad & Naim nstream works only with "compatibility mode".

Also happening to me. I don't think there's a need for a full rescan every 15 minutes.

Update 30th January
- [ QNAP x09 series ] Fixed incomplete reading of tags with cover art data present

I have just tested this and it has fixed both the issues that I was having with partial tags on ALAC files and partial album art on AAC and MP3. Hope the files were helpful to you.

Working fine on Naim NDX with nStream, no need for compatibility mode.

The scanning seemed to be much slower than on Test 6 at about 80 tracks a minute, which is very slow compared to Twonky. I have disabled rescan. Any thoughts?

Hi, anybody knows how to get the radio working ?
Should i put the linn mdsi in upnpav, playlist ?

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Any (playlist or upnp), you add the radio station to the playlist and set to play, after around 20 seconds you should hear it, if not try a different station.
