![]() Thanks in advance.ĮDIT: Sorry - I didn't include my device info: iPhone 6S 128 GB running iOS 9.1. The end result is that I can't use Asset UPnP to serve up my music in VLC. Note that the files I'm trying to stream and download are the same files that import successfully using the methods described in #1. When I try to stream or download a track from Asset UPnP in VLC, I get gibberish in the track progress bar during streaming, and an invalid format error message when downloading. Asset UPnP shows up in VLC for iOS under the Local Network tab. The thing works great as a software DLNA server. It is also available on my iPhone through my receiver's iOS controller app. I use Asset UPnP (from the folks who make dBPoweramp) as a DLNA media server to my A/V Receiver. MinimServer I used this for years prior to switching to Twonky, lacks artist/genre art and sadly is no longer free. E mby Full DLNA search functionality would of crowned Emby a clear winner scoring 5 stars. ![]() It's only the Sharing via WiFi that doesn't include the artwork.Ģ. Asset UPnP A serious contender for the crown, almost twice the price of Twonky though. If I upload the same files to Google Drive and then download them to VLC for iOS, the artwork and metadata also appear as expected in VLC. When I import the same tracks into VLC via iTunes, the artwork and metadata both come along for the ride. The metadata seems to import because the song title, album title and duration are correct. When I use Sharing via WiFi, the uploaded tracks from the PC appear in the VLC Media Library, but without the album artwork. I have a couple of problems getting those files into VLC for iOS.ġ. I'm interested in playing back hi-res audio files from my iPhone (using an external DAC and amp connected to the phone). Maybe worth a look for anyone with a DLNA streamer.I have 24/96 and 16/44.1 FLAC files (with embedded album art and metadata) stored on my desktop Windows 10 PC. After that you can continue using a very basic version FOC or buy the fully featured version for $26 (around £16). UPnP is a method of sharing media content between devices, where audio files are stored on a computer, server or NAS, multiple audio devices around the home network can play audio from the UPnP server. Compatible with Windows XP onwards, it's not free but a 30 day trial is. Asset is a UPnP (DLNA compatible) audio server, designed as an audio only server, which an emphasis on quality and enhanced browsing abilities. While looking for something else on one of the WHS forums, I came across a recommendation for Asset UPnP, a DLNA audio only server by the people behind one of the best ripping/conversion programmes (dBPoweramp). You can always rip to WAV but that doesn't support proper tagging & uses more disk space. Presumably the same would apply to say using Windows Media Player as the server froma laptop. ![]() So the DLNA server built into WHS (Windows Media Connect) doesn't show FLAC files either. As I didn't like the sound of the TX-8050 I didn't pursue that but, having thought about it since, it's because Windows Media Player doesn't natively support FLAC. With that the option of streaming media appeared in the network settings. In the new menu select Media Resources and enable Windows Media Player. At the end of the list, go to More Windows Features. I had a brief play with an Onkyo TX-8050 the other day but couldn't get it to see the FLAC files on my WHS server. Asset UPnP Linux, QNAP & Synology Manual. To do this: Select the Start button and select Settings > Apps > Optional Features.
