May I ask, on which version you are right now on SH and J?

Hi Beroli

SH=2.1.14259.227545617
JB=2.2.0.3722

Twonky 8.4.1 pkg on QNAP

After 2 DLNA tracks played I checked the status: {"state":"harvestRescanInProgress","subState":"harvesting","progress":18," which correlates with the status displayed in the JB notification screen.

Edit: 30' later, a full scan has started: {"state":"harvestFulLScanInProgress","subState":"harvesting","progress":10,"

Hi mbolo01,

SH=2.2.12485.193548632

as you can see our SH-Version is different. Maybe you try to get in touch with B&O, if they respond.

Cheers Beroli

Ok, I rolled back to SH 2.1 due to the speakers/line-in issues on some devices so I had no opportunity to test the DLNA behavior, but 2.2 is indeed meant to kill all these DLNA issues, specially for the large ones like mine. 

So we cannot compare our setups for now.

It would be interesting that the harvesting process is not automatic.

A bit like in the BeoSound 5, the scan of the tracks is only made by the user with BeoPlayer.

After that, MOTS analyse the new tracks and that's all.

Just noticed that Lyle is online - so, now is the time....perhaps ;-)

Hi mbolo01,

this is not quite correct. In the current 2.2 Beta there is are no possibilities in the standard settings to start a rescan, when the content is changed. There is only a switch in the DLNA content to reset the whole database AND do a new rescan afterwards.

To switch of the automatic rescan is possible in the expert mode only - but then you will have to live with missing artist tiles. You need to create a separate artist tile folder. Now imagine you have 700—1000 artists in your database. Searching images, create tiles...that is a very demanding workload. Maybe for the winter.

I would be happy, if the automatic rescan is switched of permanent an if there were button/switches to rescan/enriching for new content without deleting the whole database in the standard setting. That would be my dream setting

Cheers Beroli

I didn't go into the details, but yes you are right, you have to activate the Expert mode in 2.2 to disable automatic harvesting, and my experience with 2.2 before I rolled back to 2.1 is that the Artist cover are coming at the end of the day, slowly but surely, but it takes an incredible time for large libraries like mine, unacceptable I must admit.

Hopefully B&O will take almost the same strategy for Artist images processing than the 2.1 one, i.e. try (1) user DLNA published artist image, (2) if not found substitute with artist album cover and (3) finally try Gracenote, this will do the job in my opinion .....They could even drop the user managed artist image, I don't think the community will contest it.

I agree with you, I suggested to Lyle a while ago a refresh button on the JB interface to manually control the harvesting, there is room for that on the upper right side of the JB

Scenario: you add new content to your DLNA collection, when you wish to incorporate it in the BS Moment database you press refresh DLNA collection pictogram on the JB when it is appropriate. In the mean time you can use the App to play the new content until it is integrated, searchable and Mood-classified by the Moment.

Totally agree with you, suggested the same but weren‘t heard.

your scenario should be the way, hpw to handle it - usually the owner of the dlna-collection knows when he had done some changes. Therefore, there is no need for a automatic rescan for DLNA. I think most of the users with large collections, just want to keep to have theor beloved music - since we spent a lot of time collecting it. For the new stuf I just use Deezer.

Cheers

How to activate the Expert mode?
