Asset UPnP R2024 beta.

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta

Hi Peter,

Under Display Settings there is the option "Multi-Disc Albums show as '[Disc] [Track] [Title]'".
I don't see any difference in ticking or unticking this option.
With this new Asset release tracks of multi-disc albums (with disc number also set) are always presented as 101, 102, ..., 201, 202, ...

Under Indexing Settings is the option "Multi-Disc Album".
When I make a change in this setting, Asset restarts and does a "clear database and rescan all folders".
This takes almost 10 minutes for my collection (fast Synology DS and 30k+ tracks).

What does "Leave Album Tag Untouched" mean with "Multi-Disc Album"?
When selecting this option, all of my multi disc albums are displayed as seperate albums for each disc (with each disc in a seperate subfolder and regardless of whether disc number is set or not).

Installed on RPi2 (32-bit ARM), rescanning of entire library was certainly faster with r8 structure.
Noticed some new settings, namely &*8220;Fill missing Album Artist tags&*8221;.
Will advise, as library changes and changes are picked up.
Thanks, Simon

All rebuilt, picking up new items nicely but not seeing any performance improvement, but the RPi2 platform is s 10 year old device, with limited CPU power & RAM - but once the library is built is does what it needs to & works well.

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta

The source between Windows and Linux/NAS/Mac is separate, so it would be either or, and backported before release, that is the reason, we get more feedback for the other releases combined.

Ok, that makes sense. Actually, my impression is that the linux versions need a little more care than the windows version.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the improvements in Asset (for Synology).

- The Option menu layout has improved with the subheadings and combining similar options.
- I also see that the tracknumbering of multi disc albums has changed. Now starting with 101 and thus more consequent discnumber+tracknumber combination. Very nice.
- And the album art also displaying in high res when browsing the collection.

Wil do some more testing to experience the improved speed and better detection of changed folder.jpg.

Once the update is tested and feature rich, we release.

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta

Hm, strange if that's the reason. There's been feedback when Asset betas for windows has been released, see e.g. here.

And the betas are actually useful for us too, with features coming sooner.

Anyway, how far off is the final version for us windows users - are we talking days, weeks or months?

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta

We were getting zero feedback on Windows betas for Asset.

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta

I respect your decision, but may I ask why this has changed? Until recently the windows version was the prioritized one with betas coming first.

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta

Only the final for windows.

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta

Thanks for the new features, especially the amended [SimpleArtist]. Will there not be a Windows beta, only the final version? Just curious (don't want to push anything if it delays the final version). We want to test [SimpleArtist] on a Cambridge streamer.

Thanks for the quick fix but I'm getting a 404 for the new Synology build.I'll try again later.

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta

Hi PeterP, If your reply about DSM 6.x was to me, my DS1821+ was running DSM Version: 7.2.1-69057 Update 3 for the first 2 times I tried to install this beta and Version: 7.2.1-69057 Update 4 the last two times I tried to install it.

Fixed in today's build, thanks for reporting.
