Asset UPnP for QNAP

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Sorry, cannot get radio working, even after more then 20 seconds still no music. Tried different radio stations, same result.
According to the logfile (from memory since i forgot to copy) the connection cannot be opened...
I can copy part of the logfile tonight (UTC +07:00) and post it if that might help...

Thanks for the log file.
In Asset configuration page, under "audio format settings", please try setting Radio to be streamed as LPCM, see if that helps.

Hi Peter,

Setting the radio to be streamed as LPCM does not work (using kinsky)
the error message is
PlayNow about to insert 1 item into playlist

No even an hourglass shows up, radio station is not added to the list

When using Wav, station is added to the list, hourglass for 10s but no music

Using asset control it does not work either, when selecting lpcm, there is a red circle around the radio stations and i am unable to add.

put the setting back to 'as is' and will try various radio stations.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

To build one we have to buy this unit, I do not think there are popular enough to warrant such a build.

Same goes for me. I cant warrant buying an x69 Qnap to get Asset running.

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

Hi Spoon
I have tried to install and configure Asset on my QNAP 419.
I went to the configuration page, typed in my NAS address and restarted it ... and I'm still waiting for it to register all my albums. When I use N-Stream it shows no albums.
What have I done wrong?

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

If you have started Asset manually like my post instructed you to, please post what the console says after doing so. Thanks.

Result is hundred of line "Restarting Asset", until Ctr + C is pushed to stop the process

Regards,
Fabien

On the configuration page, you should not have to type your nas address in the library section, rather it should have listed a location already?

Re: Asset UPnP for QNAP

We hope to have a new test build soon.

Cheers, excited to see this as the current beta build is unusable to me due to the performance. :(

Thanks

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.

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

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

@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

[ 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

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

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.
