Cambridge Audio Evo 75 and Evo 150 - Steve Freeman - 2024-03-31
The Evo's are all-in-one audio media streamers, and considered by many to be the best on the market.
See some stuff here: https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/row/en/products/evo
The Evo 150 and 75 are the same, except power output and some hardware features not relevant to streaming (like a phono input).
As well as streaming from the usual music platforms (Tidal, Qobuz et al) the Evo is great for streaming music from your home LAN, from PCs, and NAS units - anything that can host DLNA.
I notice that Jellyfin has a set of configs (XML) in the DLNA/system folder, in which audio players & TV are listed...
There may be benefit in having a config for Evo's - I really don't know if this is useful, but I'd like to know if someone can make one, or at least give me some clues as to how do it myself for the benefit of thousands of Evo users who should be using Jellyfin Server.
A reason why I think this may be useful is that the control app for Evo units (called StreamMagic) currently displays blurred images at "folder" level, by which I mean, when using DLNA, the "virtual folder" views (albums, playlists etc) show a blurry picture (possibly 48x48 pixels expanded to suit the screen). If you select the "folder" view potion to be turned on in DLNA, you get the same burred images for each folder, possibly unsurprisingly..... Individual tracks do however, have perfect artwork.
I have covered this is the thread: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-cover-art-woes-in-music-files ...
and since I have no such blurred image issues with other DLNA servers, and nobody else has a similar issue with their players/clients, I'm suspecting my Evo is somehow picking up the incorrect image files from Jellyfin or folders and I want to sort it out - it's driving my OCD nuts....
I notice this in foobar2000.xml and wondered if my Evo is picking up limits on artwork by using defaults?:
AlbumArtPn>JPEG_SM</AlbumArtPn
MaxAlbumArtWidth>480</MaxAlbumArtWidth
MaxAlbumArtHeight>480</MaxAlbumArtHeight
MaxIconWidth>48</MaxIconWidth
MaxIconHeight>48</MaxIconHeight
(NB I'm using a test folder with 2 sub folders, each with 9 music tracks, a "folder.jpg" 1400x1400 art image, and one sub folder has embedded artwork (220x220) and the other is the same music with artwork stripped from the files. I know it is not a performance issue and that embedded art is not being used by Jellyfin)
Thanks if you can help with either making a config file, or identifying a root cause for the blurred images!
