Subsonic Forum

How do I reset the resulting file tree that I see when I select the File Tree Button on the Top Bar? It seems that I have an old Folder Location that is hanging around.

For example when I click on the file tree link that should not be there I get this error:

Subsonic encountered an internal error. You can report this error in the Subsonic Forum. Please include the information below.

What does your media folders look like? Is F: or F:\My Media one of them?

How are access rights set up? What user is running Subsonic, and does that user have access to that file?

Normally, a scan initiated from Settings -> Media folders should make sure that the file tree view is up to date with what's in your folders.

This is what I have and this is what I get:
(I should not have the "My Media" links)

I'll look into this, looks like a bug. Does it get solved if you add F:\My Media as a Media Folder, and then remove it?

I actually tried that . . . no effect.

I guess you've restarted your server since you removed F:\My Media? It would be interesting to read the log files referenced from About -> Bug report otherwise, to see if they give a clue on what went wrong (that's the best way to troubleshoot).

To delete directories from the PostgreSQL database, you need to use a tool called PgAdmin that came with the PostgreSQL install. It's graphical and not very complicated. See this screenshot: http://pgadmin.org/images/screenshots/p ... _win32.png

You navigate in the left side view, by right-clicking and connecting to your own PostgreSQL server. Then, mark the database "musiccabinet" and press the SQL button (next to the Recycle bin button). This brings up a new window where you can execute arbitrary SQL commands.

To look for top directories, type this and then press the green forward arrow to execute the command:

Code: Select all

select path, deleted from library.directory where parent_id is null order by 1;

It should display G:\Movies, H:\TV etc. I'd be interested to hear what is prints, actually, if you don't mind pasting it here.

To delete directories from the database, copy a path you want to remove (they're case sensitive, so you can't just type h:\tv), and type something like this and press the green forward arrow again:

Code: Select all

insert into library.directory_delete (path) values ('F:\My Media');
select library.delete_from_library();

This will take a little while to complete (maybe 10sec, but it totally depends on your library size), just let it run until it finishes.

This should remove F:\My Media from your file tree view.

If you remember anything about how this situation happened (to help me reproduce it), I'd be interested to hear that, too.

Thanks.

I attached the log file from the C:\subsonic directory.

When I try to Connect to the dbase server PgAdmin is asking me for a password??

I managed to follow your instructions with a little help from Google:

In pgAdmin III under the server right click and go to properties, then the advanced tab and in the host address type 127.0.0.1.

Furthermore I was lucky to remember the password I used when I installed PostgreSQL! I had NO expectation that I'd be connecting to this dbase and manipulating the data therein.

Any-hoo . . . .
Here's what came back when I entered the first query:

"F:\My Documents\My Digital Editions\Audiobooks"
"F:\My Documents\My Media"
"F:\My Media"
"F:\My Music"
"G:\Movies"
"H:\TV"
"J:\Euterpe"
"J:\Music Video"

(For those of you playing at home: "Euterpe" -Is from Greek mythology - the name of one of Zeus's daughters, who was regarded to be the Muse of Music

. . . I applied your second query and deleted the two "My Media" entries, refreshed my Subsonic page in the browser and it looks great now!

Thanks! That was fun.

IIRCC . . . in Windows Explorer I promoted the "My Media" folder from within "My Documents" and then added the new location in MC'net. I don't remember what efforts I made, if any, to delete the old location; except to say that I was frustrated that I couldn't get rid of it using obvious means.

Sorry about the bug, good to hear it's working. I guess there must be some scenario with adding/deleting multiple media folders (possible scanning your library meanwhile) that causes this, I'll see how to make it more robust.

As a side-note: it does take a little bit of effort to learn SQL, but it's a very, very powerful tool. I use the database all the time for answering questions like "which albums in my library don't have embedded cover art", "which new artists should I look into that are most related to the music I listen to the most" etc. It's very handy actually.

Looks like I have some reading to do! . . . . Now where is my copy of SQL For Dummies?
