    Spoon, great news thanks. I'll download this evening.. delighted to see folder.jpg resolved. You make no mention about the debug option.. I guess I can check that out later.

    Ok powered up, and after I deleted the old database and rescanned, the album art returned. Good.

    I also see the debug option is there.. But.. I can't seem to get the General Settings to remember their settings on Apply.. And so I can never set the debug...

    The media directory and transcode settings are retained however.

    Ok, I have run Asset as root instead of Pi, and General Settings appear now or be retained, apart from debug.. I seem unable to activate that even under root.

    Batleys,

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Please do not ever run Asset as root. We will add safeguards against this in the next version.

    I recommend that you remove ~/.dBpoweramp entirely and start over with a clean configuration; everything should be OK as long as you do not run Asset as root.

    Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

    Hi Peter, indeed running as root is far from ideal, but running as user Pi was unable to save the General Settings under Pi's -/.dBpoweramp/

    I will clear out and try again

    PS, you might want to edit the crontab edit post at the start of this thread..
    sudo crontab -e
    Will edit root's crontab and run the contained apps as root, as shown, asset will run as root.

    Re: Asset UPnP for Raspberry pi

    I am interest in running Asset UPnP on a Raspberry Pi. I am current running Twonky 6.0.38 on a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo, and although it works well and I have been able to customize the configuration for the display of AlbumArt, it is lacking in some areas. These can be fixed through customizing the configuration files directly in XML, but this really isn't a friendly configuration option.

    I have all my music files with high-quality AlbumArt embedded in each file (thank you PerfectTunes), plus the AlbumArtist field is set correctly and the Compilation flag is used for Compilations. I use dBPowerAmp, PerfectTunes and mp3tag to manage all the Metadata tagging.

    So before I embark on a new project to get a Pi and configure it as a dedicated UPnP server, can I ask the following questions about Asset's behaviour:

    1. Does it serve high-resolution AlbumArt to the controlling end-point without any scaling? I have a Naim streamer and use the n-Stream application on an iPad, so want to have the AlbumArt in its native resolution.
    2. Does the image file embedded in the ID3 header take priority over the presence of folder.jpg in the folder. I have Compilation albums with different artwork for each Artist in the same folder, but a generic folder.jpg for the 'top-level'.
    3. Does it handle the AlbumArtist field?
    4. Does it group Compilations together based on the Compilation field?
    5. Could you provide screenshot or a list of the top level menus presented to the end-point?

    Many thanks,
    Simon.
