    Re: Asset R5 for QNAP, OSX, Linux & Pi

    R5 Changes

    Changes R5:

    * DSD support
    * UPnP search support
    * New database design, faster at indexing, browsing albums
    * Upstream art uses compilation artist, but will replace with non-compilation later
    * Now uses persistent browse ids (even if asset is restarted)

    * Monkey&*8217;s Audio codec
    * Added a forced timed rescan option to help with scenarios where folder change tracking doesn't work reliably
    * Added an option to hide [All Tracks] / [Shuffle Tracks] items - in both configuration and per control point overrides; use [NoAllTracksItems] in control points override to hide these items.
    * Fixed a bug causing MP3 files to take a long time to index on slow machines
    * Fixed &*8220;download configuration dump&*8221; giving malformed file on machines with little /tmp space, QNAP in particular

    Re: Asset R5 for QNAP, OSX, Linux & Pi

    R5.1.1 Changes

    Fixed bugs related to iTunes M3U playlist reading.
    Configuration dump feature has been split into "normal" and "complete", the latter not exporting huge album art cache file, as the resulting dumps were problematic to transfer.

    Mac OS 10.9 is now the oldest supported Mac OS for the Asset application.
    It's still possible to extract and manually launch service itself on older Mac OS versions.

    Re: Asset for QNAP, OSX, Linux & Pi

    R6.1 Changes

    Search changes merged from Windows codebase.
    Better handling of ../ relative paths in playlists.
    Better response to entering an invalid path in media/playlists folder configuration.
    Added visible feedback when there's not enough free space in Asset's data folder.
    Prevented the same criteria under "Additional" from being selected more than once.
    Playlist manipulation fixes.
    Made specified playlist folders indexed recursively.
    Prevented 'playlists' root browse tree entry from disappearing when no playlists currently reside directly in the specified folders.
    LAME updated to 3.100
    libvorbis updated to 1.3.6
    Various debug logging refinements to aid with future debugging.
    Improved reading of ArtistSort, AlbumSort etc values from various file formats. We now accept either spelling of the field name, "artist sort" (with space) or "artistsort" (without space) and so on.
    QNAP packaging and folder structure cleanups - no more config data in bin folder, smaller distribution size.
    File naming cleanups, removed "trial" which confused some people - installing trial or beta over registered always results in Asset functioning as registered.
    Added support for new QNAP devices with 64-bit ARM processors, TS-128A and similar.

    Bug Fixes

    Fixed ugly Asset device image due to outdated included image.
    Fixed missing album art for some folders when browsing by filenames & folders.
    Fixed "download configuration dump" feature giving wrong data on embedded Linux (QNAP and other NAS types).
    Fixed mishandling of UTF-8 BOM in M3U8 playlists.
    Fixed web configuration glitches.
    Fixed download configuration dump giving nonsense on embedded Linux... previous fix wasn't quite working as it should. *sigh*
    Fixed for specific devices such as LG TV hammering Asset and causing excess memory usage.
    Fixed missing playlists after manual editing of browse tree text.
    Fixed lockup when trying to stream non existent files without decoding/reencoding.
    Fixed extreme memory usage when a client walks a large shuffle-tracks folder in small steps (encountered with LG TV).
    Fixed missing DoP option for DSD files.
