Asset UPnP R2024 beta.

[umgfoin]

Current version:

• Internet Radio streams: made send Accept-Ranges: None to prevent clients from attempting tag reads or seeking on nonseekable sources.
• Added user radio stream list, editable under Advanced settings. Work in progress, for now they show in TuneIn Radio root folder.
• Web Config: Restored option to override transcoding format for internet radio, was lost earlier this year.

.

Hello Peter,
thanks for working on the Internet radio - feature!

Feedback:
When added as "user radio stream list", none of the following links play beside last one (GHOST TOWN RADIO).

Same stations added as playlist do work.

It looks like user-radio links are all force-transcoded to mp3 not important if they natively stream as mp3 or aac.

FYI: The last station (GHOST TOWN RADIO) isn't on-air 24/7. During off-times they stream *silence*.

Cheers,

New build up, spurious reload regression fixed, thanks again for the report.

New Beta build seems to working as expected again.
It’s called Beta testing!

Okay, no need for logs, I know exactly when I broke this, has to do with internal vs external album art change.
New build coming up shortly.

[simes_pep]

Thanks for the bug report.
This is certainly not the intended behavior. Please post some library logs - no need for complete scan passes, just some samples of activity during such rescan.

I have returned back to the 'R2024-08-07' release to confirm that it was not a corruption of my uMediaLibrary-r8 files.
This version is behaving as expected.

Do you need to move back to Beta version and get the library logs?

[PeterP]

Issue with latest Beta build, the periodic rescan is performing a ‘full’ scan function, and not a ‘detect changes level scan”.
The media library is available, but the device is continually performing a scan, as a ‘delete database & rebuild’ level scan takes about 12-18 hours.
This is on a RPi2 so using the ARM32 build.

The description of this new option "Fill missing Artist tags - Affects files with Album Artist but no Artist set" is a little cryptic for me, because all my albums have also artist tags.

Ah, I now understand how this works.
Asset just performs a hardcopy of the AlbumArtist tag to the Artist tag. And it doesn't matter if the artist tag already has one or more entries, Asset just appends another entry.
And with this option switch off, Asset does not copy (and append) the AlbumArtist tag to the Artist tag.

[Arnold]

Added new option for this in today's build.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your fast action on my request.

Just tested it and it works.

The description of this new option "Fill missing Artist tags - Affects files with Album Artist but no Artist set" is a little cryptic for me, because all my albums have also artist tags.
But your implementation is spot on to my request, so you make me happy :-)

After I disabled this option (which then for me gives the result as requested), I think Asset started to rebuild the database because It took several minutes for the endresult.

Thanks for you nice work.

[PeterP]

Request: is it possible for you to add an option for not adding the AlbumArtist tag to Artist tag when indexing the collection?

Added new option for this in today's build.

[PeterP]

Works okay for me.

The filename is Asset-R2024-08-26b-DSM7, but Asset identifies itself with Version: R2024-08-23 beta

Thanks for testing.

Looks like just wrong version number slipped in Linux packages, bug fixes are included.

Album Artist vs Artist change is on the todo list for future update.

[Arnold]

New beta + change log posted, various regressions have been fixed.

Thanks Peter.

I have installed the latest beta release and I can now save the MP3 Transcode value, however I don't think that any transcoding is occurring.

Not sure if this is unique to the beta release - I disabled the first instance and now have lost access to the Asset configuration page (Linux). The second instance is running though as I can access it from players.
