Asset UPnP R2025 beta.

[PeterP]

Current version:
R2025-04-03 (beta)

Download links:
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.

Upgrading from previous versions
Install on top of registered (without uninstalling!) to use beta as registered.

Reverting to stable version
You can safely revert to last stable version, worst thing that can happen is that incompatible / newly added settings will not be utilized.
Synology NAS arbitrarily blocks replacing package with a lower-version-number version of it, but you can use "backup & restore" page of Asset to download full backup of Asset settings, then uninstall / reinstall / restore settings.

Change log, newest first:

2025-04-03

• Removed curl dependency on Linux, now using OpenSSL present on your system to establish HTTPS connections.
• Faster automatic update downloads on Linux because of the above.
• Linux-only update, changes don't affect Mac OS or Windows.

2025-03-12, stable releases

• Rewritten browse tree editor user part of web configuration.

2025-02-19

• Control point override loading regression fix (bug since build 2025-02-14).
• Properly fixed playback of Radio Paradise FLAC stream.

2025-02-14

• Added experimental [NoAcceptRangesNone] override attempting to work around incompatibility with certain old Sony players.
• Fixed a bug causing incomplete track search results.
• Fixed playback of Radio Paradise FLAC stream.

2025-01-09

• Prevented "Artist, The" from being forcibly reformatted into "The Artist" even if relevant option is set to "leave as is".
• Mac: Fixed non working downloading of configuration backups.

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.

[PeterP]

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.
