Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta
I've just tested this on ARM 64-bit and it's working well.Comment

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta
Thanks for the new features, especially the amended [SimpleArtist]. Will there not be a Windows beta, only the final version? Just curious (don't want to push anything if it delays the final version). We want to test [SimpleArtist] on a Cambridge streamer.Comment

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta
We were getting zero feedback on Windows betas for Asset.Comment

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta
Hm, strange if that's the reason. There's been feedback when Asset betas for windows has been released, see e.g. here.
And the betas are actually useful for us too, with features coming sooner.
Anyway, how far off is the final version for us windows users - are we talking days, weeks or months?Comment

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta
The source between Windows and Linux/NAS/Mac is separate, so it would be either or, and backported before release, that is the reason, we get more feedback for the other releases combined.
Once the update is tested and feature rich, we release.Comment

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta
Hi Peter,
Thanks for the improvements in Asset (for Synology).
- The Option menu layout has improved with the subheadings and combining similar options.
- I also see that the tracknumbering of multi disc albums has changed. Now starting with 101 and thus more consequent discnumber+tracknumber combination. Very nice.
- And the album art also displaying in high res when browsing the collection.
Wil do some more testing to experience the improved speed and better detection of changed folder.jpg.Comment

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta
Ok, that makes sense. Actually, my impression is that the linux versions need a little more care than the windows version.Comment

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta
All rebuilt, picking up new items nicely but not seeing any performance improvement, but the RPi2 platform is s 10 year old device, with limited CPU power & RAM - but once the library is built is does what it needs to & works well.Comment

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta
Hi Peter,
Under Display Settings there is the option "Multi-Disc Albums show as '[Disc] [Track] [Title]'".
I don't see any difference in ticking or unticking this option.
With this new Asset release tracks of multi-disc albums (with disc number also set) are always presented as 101, 102, ..., 201, 202, ...
Under Indexing Settings is the option "Multi-Disc Album".
When I make a change in this setting, Asset restarts and does a "clear database and rescan all folders".
This takes almost 10 minutes for my collection (fast Synology DS and 30k+ tracks).
What does "Leave Album Tag Untouched" mean with "Multi-Disc Album"?
When selecting this option, all of my multi disc albums are displayed as seperate albums for each disc (with each disc in a seperate subfolder and regardless of whether disc number is set or not).Last edited by Arnold; 02-24-2024, 03:25 PM.Comment

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta
It would be the album name which has that added.
Check your ID tags have disc 2/2, etc and the track numbers are not 101, 102Comment

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta
So if your multi-disc albums are split, perhaps their ALBUM tags aren't identical for all sub-discs or you have "Album defined by folder" ticked?
There was a discussion about the "Multi-disc album" setting here - much of it irrelevant now but you might pick up some hints.Last edited by vilsen; 02-25-2024, 12:34 PM.Comment

Re: Asset UPnP R2024 beta
Yes, I use the "album defined by folder" with the option "auto ...".
Because I have several classical albums with same work, same conductor, but different recording dates. When I don't tick this option, all these are scrambled together as one album. Not good.
Asset does not work good with multi-disc albums.
I have previously send a PM to Peter with my findings.
"Multi-disc album"
With single disc albums I don't use the disc tag.
With my multi-disc albums I use the disc tag and I make sure that the album title is identical for all discs in the multi-disc album. For each disc, the tracknumber starts with 01, 02, ...
When I choose "Leave album tag untouched", the Multi-Disc album is split into separated albums for each disc with each album an identical album-title.
When I choose "Combine Multi-Disc as one Album", then combining indeed is the case. But only if the subfolder name for each disc is named "Disc x" or "CD x" or similar. If the subfolder name is free format text, then combine does not work and each disc is a separate album.
With this "combine" option the tracknumbers for disc 2 and further are always changed to 101,102...201,202.. etc.
So, it's strange that the subfolder naming has influence here.
"Multi-disc albums show as"
This does not work. Whatever option I choose, prepending disc number to each track title is not done.
Which is a pity but no big deal. I'll be patient.Comment
