Hi Mike, thanks for your kind response. Yes, before reading your reply, and me being a bit dim when it comes to computers, and a bit gung ho, i un-installed Asset, tried to re-install it and failed. Then came back here, read your helpful reply and did as you suggested. I’ve now managed to re-install Asset 7.3 back onto my QNAP again. Thought i”d messed up big time. Phew!
P.S. One other thing here, when i tried to login into my QNAP via Windows i had a thing pop up saying that it was insecure, and that i was open to attacks and having my passwords and other personal information stolen. Not sure how i correct this?
Hi again Stephen, I’m not a QNAP user, I’m Synology & it too has the same issue with digital signatures but when installing new software a Synology pop up warning shows telling you it does not have a valid signature, but it also has an ‘Install Anyway’ option. I do this more often than most as I test the beta stuff. Its always worked & no problems.
I helped a mate who had the same Asset problem with his QNAP, it worked as you found, & its seems to have stayed working OK.
I found the answer on the dBpoweramp (Asset) forum.
They are sounding a bit irate with QNAP as they do not respond to any communications.
Re the Windows message about being insecure. Suspect this is Windows/Anti-virus advising that you are using standard ports (5000 http and 5001 https) to gain access to your NAS. They can be changed but not sure how beneficial this is. I get similar messages from my NAS (Synology). Happy for others with more knowledge than me to advise. Might be useful to start a new thread?
See my post above, this is absolutely normal, its nothing to do with Windows or virus, its a Synology popup window. Synology recognise that some software will not have a ‘signature’ & have provided an option to “install anyway”.
I assume you trust Illustrate Ltd’s Asset software? So just do it !!!
Wow, not really sure what’s going on here, but local streaming is really sounding amazing. Obviously something else is at play here that i’m unaware of. I put some cans on earlier, turned the volume up and thought the music was coming out of my main speakers, such is the spread of sound. Unbelievable.
This is becoming more a problem than an irritant! Yesterday morning I found the App had been stopped so had to manually restart.
This morning, prior to setting up a queue of music I checked and the App was running. Second choice, approx. half-way through the first movement of Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto the App stops … no more music.
I don’t want to drop Asset as I find it much easier to use than MininServer but this can’t continue … especially as my NDX 2 is only 6 weeks old
I did this over a week ago and it has been fine since then. The option is a bit of a misnomer though as it looks like it also applies to applications that are already installed.
Thank you! I had thought I’d covered this by selecting Ignore in the Security Counselor / Basic Security Policy page … but it appears that this App does not talk with the App Center.
Fingers crossed this issue has been resolved … and, again, many thanks
Just to report that I updated from 7.2 to 7.3 earlier today. I updated while music was playing and it didn’t miss a beat. The instructions are explicitly clear about the steps to follow, including ticking the box about certification before updating. Maybe Illustrate have updated things but either way, it worked perfectly.
Illustrate haven’t made any changes, they are saying its QNAP that need to do something to make it clear/easier for the user. They are frustrated they don’t respond to communications from them.
I just installed a new Asset beta on Synology, the alert popup window with its clear script & OK to install is simple.
I get the same type of warnings with other apps & software
On a related subject: Illustrate have just released 17.6 dBpoweramp
I think the problem is that for me at least I did that when I updated to 7.3 a while ago but the last firmware update blanked out the check box. So although the 7.3 app was already installed it kept being stopped by the OS until the box was checked again.
