Subsonic Forum

Hello everyone,
I wanted to make subsonic users aware of a Windows subsonic client, myself and a fellow .NET developer have created it using .NET 4 and WPF.
The SubWiji as it is called runs on a top-of-the-screen bar, the screenshots below show what we have created.

SubWiji is completely free to use!

If you enjoy using SubWiji you can now donate!


Get SubWiji here...
This link is a ClickOnce link which will install the application (best installed from the link using IE), when the SubWiji is closed and re-opened it will check for updates (updates will be auto detected whilst running).
Please note the Transcoder recommendation below, this is highly recommended as the SubWiji is by design an mp3 streamer so works with best results when this extra Transcoder is added.

--> Installer Link - http://subwiji.paulodell.co.uk
PLEASE RUN the Application file when downloaded.

--> Transcoder Addition (subsonic setting) for SubWiji:

> ConvertFrom = mp3

> ConvertTo = mp3

> Step1 =

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -f mp3 -i %s -ab %bk -v 0 -f mp3 -

please be sure to include everything in bold including the - otherwise the Transcoder setting will not work.

Any feedback is welcome in this thread http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8772&start=60.
Also please feel free to email Questions, Bugs, Ideas to SubWiji@me.com

Please also note the Do you use SubWiji? Poll, I have created this just to get an idea of the users

Below is a list of some of the screens and functionality:
- Connect using IP, URL or subsonic.org URL.
- Supports automatic proxy detection when connected
- Playlist Load/Add New/Save
- Selected Playlist management (add/remove songs, and add whole albums)
- Random, Repeat 1/All playback
- Keyboard shortcuts (Alt+P= play/pause, Alt < previous track, Alt > next track, Alt - volume down, Alt + volume up)
- Play, Pause, Previous, Next buttons
- Now Playing Popup (bottom right corner of screen) with quick previous and next buttons and rate track
- Song preview will play the track selected without interfering with the loaded playlist (current playlist track is paused)
- Album grid viewer, showing a grids of Random, Recently Added, Recently Played, Highest Rated, Most Played albums, including a link from each album to its corresponding track list and related albums from the same artist.
- Volume Control
- Search function which shows an album results grid or the tracks found.
- Equaliser display along with track playback position (time)

I installed the client, but it seems not to be able to connect to my server. I am running subsonic on tomcat but I call it via apache (proxy setup).

Hi, could you give me a screenshot of the settings you are using and also a screenshot of the error message that pops up when you try to save the settings?
If I have these then hopefully we can fix the issue
Cheers
Paul

I did send you a screen shot by pm.

Hi yes thanks I just got it, I notice that you have the url then a sub directory after.
I can fix this issue but I need to make a code change so I will do that this evening if I get chance when I get home.
Once I have made the change I will let you know
Thanks

Paul

Ok, great, thx. The dir is added when you have the war deployed to tomcat.

Hi sp0nge,
I have checked the code and the problem I initially presumed (with the folder) is no longer an issue.
The problem is The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
It seems that it cannot access that url which you have entered, is that url exactly what you use to connect to the subsonic web UI?

Thanks

Paul

Yes, it is the exact url.

sp0nge wrote:Yes, it is the exact url.

Ah ok that is strange as to why it would give a 404 error, it means it isn't even able to resolve an ip.
Is this internal or available on the internet because if you could give me a temporary access I could debug
Paul

Ok, I tried adding a trailing slash and I get another error, I did send you a screen shot via pm.

sp0nge wrote:Yes, it is the exact url.

Out of interest why aren't you using a subsonic.org address?
Paul

The subsonic address works kinda odd with a proxy setup, it is rewritten to the ip address after accessing subsonic. But I'll try with the client.

-> I just tried it, it results in the same error that I did send you.

Hi,
After using your setup (thanks for that) I have done some more fixing...my code was incorrectly setting the url to upper case and this was causing folder detection issues.

I have just pushed an update which if you could update and have a play should work for you now (v 0.1.0.73).

I was able to login using the url you gave me with SubWiji.

I hope it works well, have a look and let me know how you get on, if you have any other problems or questions feel free to PM me.

Cheers

Hi Paul,

I just updated SubWiji and it works now, I can also play music. The interface looks quite decent.

Hi All,
Just so you are aware I have just added an early implementation of Song Seeking, now you can (clicking just below the scrolling text) skip within a song.

Cheers

Paul
