Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

Excellent, thanks.

The new build is able to scan network shares.

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

Do you plan to support Album Artist in addition to Artist / Album?

Thanks

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

It should already be there, under advanced search >>

You're right, just found it.

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

Great! Latest update scanning and playing my library perfectly. Now, I just need a little help with playlists. I have some .m3u playlists with old paths, used when my collection was on my PC hard drive. Now that the playlist files are on the same HDD as the music attached to the Raspberry, I have manually edited the paths to the new paths (e.g. /media/usbhdd/Music/etc....) and added the playlist folder to the playlist watched folders. My upnp clients can see the playlists (and the tracks in the playlists) but they can't play the tracks. I'm sure it's my path format that is wrong. Any advice?

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

Playlists can have relative paths (ie playlist higher up the tree), see:

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

Thanks, Spoon. That did the trick. I switched to relative paths, and changed \ to /.

December 11th Update.
Pleased to report that this build seems a lot improved. The CIF (network share) library scan is now significantly faster, all the scan commands work correctly, the debug flag can be set and debug created - and all appears ok in the debug both UPnP and Library.
The only parameter that is not quite working correctly that I can see is the Dynamic Play list value - which remains at 50 no matter what value is set.

Thanks Spoon.

Network scans still not working with NFS shares, so I've switched over to CIFS shares, problem solved.

Tho I can't see why one would work over the other? (Note - NFS shares worked in an earlier beta)

I have performed a full clear down a re-install and the new release seems to have resolved both the file indexing and the 'rescan all' issue.

Well done...excellent stuff.

One question, can I schedule the library to rescan on a regular basis or should it pick up new files as they appear upon a cifs share?

Thanks.

Glad to hear that most of the issues are now gone.

Asset for Raspberry cannot automatically monitor the indexed folders to instantly notice newly added tracks due to various technical limitations. However it will re-index the folders every 60 minutes.

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

Hi, I'd just like to add to the other comments that the latest beta resolves all the scanning problems I was having too. Also, the progress of the scan is properly reported, which it didn't before.

Many thanks
Chris

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

Spoon - can you advise the approach of the beta trial please. Is there to be a new beta that resets the trial 30 day period - or will the next version be a purchased licenced version. If its the latter - what will the arrangement be if one has already purchased Asset for another platform - ie Windows?

Simon

Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

The trial, once used will not reset, we must wait for the full release.

It is likely the Pi version of Asset will be on its own license, although cheaper than the PC license.
