Playback and mixed up artwork

Posted by: antz on 19 November 2012

Hi guys

Connected up the Mac mini via upnp and playback to my NDX for my iTunes library. I'm using IPad and nstream for control. The artwork is completely mixed up. Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve?

Thanks

Two suggestions...

 

1) Do a "clear cache" on the n-Stream app from the settings menu - this will force the app to reload all the cover art from the UPnP server. If that doesn't resolve the problem then you need to look at your UPnP server to ensure that it is configured correctly.

 

2) Use a UPnP server on a NAS.

 

I know the second one sounds flippant but Mac / OSX UPnP servers cause so much grief and seem so flaky that I really cannot happily recommend that anyone runs a UPnP server on a Mac - certainly there's nothing that seems as stable as - say - Asset UPnP on Windows. :-(

Antz -  After clearing the nStream Cache as Phil has suggested, clear the album art folder in Playback.

The Mac mini with Playback to serve your iTunes library is a good solution. Adding a NAS is an unnecessary complication here.
