Mostly bug fixes, but added a few enhancements
 
1.  MediaZone groups now work :)
2.  The app honors the "Hidden" navigation setting on Premise objects when it is set.
3.  A little better support for Weather Underground module (honors the Icon class selected in builder - you want to select the high res icons.  Thanks Chuck!!!!
 
 
You must use the new version of Premise Web Services and import the new version of the XDO found in the Web Services zip file.
 
John - Finally had a few minutes to play wit this and I am seeing mostly the same issues.  Whenever I drill into my CD Library object, PremiseMetro locks and crashes out to the main screen.  All other functions, including playlists seem to be behaving as expected.
 
Here is the log file.
 
Once this is done, we can talk again about UPnPAV :)
 
Hi Sam,
 
The link doesn't appear to be working.
 
Is HOLLY your premise server or your media server?  What port does it listen on for http traffic?  If it's not your Premise Server, what port does it listen on for connecting Automation Browser?  80?  86? 
 
The problem with your past logs was that WebServices was timing out getting the cover art images from Holly.   I'm just trying to understand why that might be.
 
 
Just for fun :)  What do you get if you put the following URL in the browser:  http://holly:80/images/WebServices/MediaZone.png
 
Sorry John.  Link fixed.
 
Holly is both Premise and Media server.  Port is 80.  And yes, it still seems to be timing out a lot.
 
What is PremiseMetor looking for as far as the cover art?  just the folder.jpg?
 
It's actually the Web Services component that looks for Cover art.  It exposes a method called GetCoverArtStream that has the following logic.
 
1.  For a Media Folder, it looks for any children that are of type "DigitalImage".    If it doesn't find any, it either returns the "Image" property for the folder or the image in ".../images/classimages/audiotrack.gif".  If it finds one child that's of the type DigitalImage, it uses it.  If it finds ore than one, it tries to use the one called albumart.jpg if it exists, if not, it uses folder.jpg. 
2.  For a plain audio track or a playlist item, if uses the parent media folder's cover art according the logic above.
3.  If it times out opening the image, it tries to return a file that's located in "...images/WebServices/MediaZone.png".
 
Would you try the following link:  http://holly:80/images/WebServices/MediaZone.png in your browser? 
 
No.  Only missing ones show this (on the deepest level).  So, like so:
 
Room Level = Media icon is this geneiric image
Media Level = All categories (CD Library, Playlists, Radio Stations, etc.) show this icon
CD Library = Mixed.  Some show Album art, some show this icon.
 
So I think this is working as designed.  But somehow it's getting really bogged down on missing images, I think.
 
What's the status of PremiseMetro? It isn't listed in the Windows App store.
 
How does one get the app?
 
I'm using Win 8.1 on an All-In-One PC. The link you provided leads me to a page with a "View in Windows Store" button. That leads to the front page of the Windows App store. Searching for "PremiseMetro" in the App store produces no results. All other links on the page also lead to the App store's front page (except for "PremiseMetro website" which leads to a privacy statement on, I assume, your web-site).
 
That is really weird. I just checked on a surface pro 3 not associated with my windows ID and it does show up in the store. I wonder if I inadvertently restricted something in the hardware prerequisites. I need to get home later and check that.
 
What I see. Links highlighted in red lead to front page of the App store.
