Asset on Raspberry pi steaming from Ready nas to Naim NDx5

Hi

When I open asset click on genre on my phone it shows artist. using configure which line do I enable for it to show albums in genre?

If you have R6 of Asset then the default tree allows you to choose Arist, or Album, or Title etc after choosing a Genre, if you do not see this selection then your player / control point is not showing Assets browse tree, it is creating its own. If this is true there is nothing you can change in Asset.

I have a browse tree but I am using R5.1 so do I have to download R6 to get this option?

I belive so yes

No, you just need to set the Library tree, to show Albums under the Genre section.
I have optimised a Browser tree to operate under the Naim App. See my folder on Dropbox at [url]https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bu8etep76nu4v5z/AACtTAlpNbXPbXFIT2uato_Ha?dl=0[/url] for all sorts of Asset R5 and R6 related material for using Asset on the RaspberryPi.

Any problems, do come back to me.
Simon.

I have downloaded R6 but I have no idea how to stop/remove R5.1 help!

The Asset binaries are installed in /usr/bin/asset/bin

and the user files are in /home/pi/.dBpoweramp

I suggest you kill all Asset related processes, remove these directories and install R6 in a clean system.

Simon.

Hi Simon

What are the commands to be able delete the contents of /usr/bin/asset/bin and /home/pi/.dbpoweramp

Godfrey

The Linux is "sudo rm -r /usr/bin/asset/bin" and "sudo rm -r /home/pi/.dbpoweramp"

Have you backed up your SD Card, by taking an image, before you start removing directories?

Thanks,
Simon.

Hi Simon

Hit a problem I, go to start asset after extracting and I get the message "no such file or directory" any ideas.

Where has R6 installed itself? Once the installer has run, you need to run the executable from this directory.
I believe it was different to the location used for R5

Thanks,
Simon.

I followed your pdf instructions, they are the same as Spoons. How do I find that directory?

Godfrey

It will be under the \usr\bin\asset directory, I would imagine, but start with /usr/bin

R6 introduces the concept of multiple instances, each instance then runs from a separate directory etc.
Now my instructions were written against R4, but the principles are still the same.

I notice there is a folder marked asset when file manager opens, which has Asset R6?

I have asset running but as soon as I ctrl-c to return to the command prompt it says "Stopping UPnP service".

If I carry on and enter the new line into the crontab file, save, reboot Asset does not restart.

I can of course restart it using the command line again?
