And RescanALL.bin?

Asset R6.1, Win 7 Entr

Q1: Asset UPnP Configuration > Refresh All. Does it rescan the library for all defined instances, or just for the currently selected instance?

Q2: Does the RescanALL.bin...

Well, Windows said it was a crash. But it doesn't matter, as a long as Asset does what it's supposed to, and, so far, it does.

So far, so good. uMediaLibrary crashed a couple of times, but it recovered quickly. Three defined Asset instances, everything seems to be working as it should. My impression is that any changes in...

Thanks, got it, so far it seems to be working as intended.

Thanks, done, rescanning. We'll see how this works.

So, can I assume that ":=" basically means "not equal"? And does it further mean that I can use "=" to signify "equal", therefore "include"? Thus

genre:=pop --> exclude all files with genre "Pop"...

Asset R6 Premium, Win 7 Enterprise

Trying to create and configure multiple Asset instances resulted in crashes,
followed by instances vanishing. Here are the steps I went through.

Asset R6, Win 7

I'm confused by exclusions. Here's what AssetUPnPExclusions.txt says:


* Specify exclusions, based on tag values. Exclusions work on inclusion, or exclusion principles.

Well, after a week of daily database rescans, I can say that my experience with Asset has improved considerably. But I assume that daily rescans aren't necessary unless one's music library is...

So, I set up a batch file to rebuild the database daily at 3AM.

One week on, everything works fine, the database is rescanned every day and no problems so far. Haven't needed to restart Asset.
...

Yes,... but RescanALL.bin didn't work properly until Asset was restarted.

Anyway, I guess I'll start with scheduled rescan and take it from there.

Looks like this might have been it. Umedialibrary.exe was up and running, but there may have been something wrong with it. After restarting Asset, creating RescanALL.bin triggers database rebuilding...

Yes. Below is the listing:

ArtStorev5.bin
AssetConfig.bin
AssetPrevPlayedv3.bin
AssetPrevPlayedv5.bin
AssetStatus.bin
AssetUPnPDefinedAudioTypesv4a.txt
AssetUPnPDefinedAudioTypesv5.txt...

Additional info:

I decided "RescanALL.bin" should be in \dBpoweramp\uMediaLibrary. I created it there, waited for about 10 min, nothing happened.

Then I went to Advanced Settings > Open...

Omniscience... What a wonderful gift to possess.


There, there... <insert soothing music here />.

So... some users don't populate the Album Artist tag, therefore Asset should penalize those who do use it by omitting Album Artist from Artist/Album. Yes, I see, it makes perfect sense.

Good. So we can safely ignore the above-mentioned proposition.

On my system %appdata% resolves to

C:\Users\<my_account>\AppData\Roaming

I created a file named "RescanALL.bin" at

C:\Users\<my_account>\AppData\Roaming\dBpoweramp

Nothing happened.

Thanks. Is the rescan triggered as soon as the file is created?

Sez who?


Right... that's why it's called "Artist/Track".

Er... wait a sec... wait a sec... it ain't called "Artist/Track", it's called "Artist/Album"!...

You got me confused...

That's it.

Thanks, that works. (What's the difference between "Advanced Search" and "Dynamic Browsing"?)

So you're saying, "it's a feature, not a bug". Well, I'm sorry to have to say it, but it's an...

Asset 5.1/Win 7

The "Album Artist" tags in my FLAC files are not showing up in Artist indices. Yet, Asset is aware of them, because the tag values show up when listing the albums.

For instance,...

I noticed in a different thread

Speed Up Navigation

that refreshing the database (Refresh All) speeds up navigation dramatically.

But, on my server, rebuilding the database takes roughly...
