Download links:
Mac | QNAP | Synology | Linux x86 32-bit | Linux x86 64-bit | Linux ARM 32-bit | Linux ARM 64-bit

Windows builds are only available for stable releases.

Build 2024-08-23 changes:

• Fixed a regression causing failure to play media from Mac OS volumes.
• Auto updater part of Web Config cleaned up.
• Mac: Auto updater prevented downloading of updates that require newer Mac OS than currently running - will get newest supported version.
• Fixed folders ending with ._ being treated as temporary and not indexed for music.
• ID3v2.3 tagging, if artist sort, or album artist sort was a known '/' artist, such as AC/DC then preserved, otherwise was being split as AC; DC.

Build 2024-08-26 changes:

• Addressed recent performance regression that could result in slow browsing on some devices.

Build 2024-08-30 changes:

• When both embedded and external album art is present, embedded is preferred (restored old behavior).
• Added option not to fill blank Artist info from Album Artist.

Build 2024-09-06 changes:

• Fixed regression from previous build causing spurious info reloads on files that didn't change, if both internal and external album art is present.

Build 2024-09-16 changes:

• 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.

Build 2024-09-20 changes:

• Fixed a recent regression causing errors with MP3 transcoding.
• Fixed incorrect reading of tags containing high Unicode range characters such as emoji.
• Linux/QNAP/Synology: Fixed playback of radio streams using HTTP 0.9. (Mac/Windows not affected)

Build 2024-09-21 changes:

• Fixed another album art vs spurious reload regression, unnecessary info reloads were occurring on files with no album art.

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta

[SimpleArtist] override is present. If it doesn't work as intended / still has compatibility issues, please report and I'll review it.
Adding it to change log now.

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta

Regarding [SimpleArtist]-
I made it send just dc:creator and strip everything else. Since that doesn't work for your control point, I'm changing it to send upnp:artist instead, per old discussion.

Regarding ={no-identification}
It has been this way since at least 2017, I can't just change it, it would suddenly change behaviors of existing working configurations.
We're changing the doc to say the right thing.

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta

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

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta

I get the error screenshotted below when I try to update it on my Synology NAS running DSM 7.2

Try downloading it again, you might only have half the install.

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta

I've tried downloading and installing at least 3 times and still get the same error. Here's a screenshot showing the consistent file size between two downloaded files. Could the Synology file be corrupt?

[PeterP]

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta

Asset no longer supports Synology DSM 6.x, because I don't have a DSM6 machine to test Asset on, and there's no downgrade path from DSM 7.x.
Please stick with old Asset versions if you run DSM 6.x.

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.

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta

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

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.

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta

Only the final for windows.
