So I decided to register here seeing as its such a great community and I really don't see any worthy replacement for what Subsonic does!
The issue I am having is with streaming podcasts to my android phone from my subsonic server. The podcasts stream fine via the web gui player, and through an external player that I have set up, but when attempting to play them on the android app, they will not play, and simply freeze up at the following screen (and never actually download)

My current setup is as follows...
Subsonic Server:
Version 4.6 (build 2585) – December 6, 2011
Server jetty-6.1.x, java 1.6.0_26, Linux (128.8 MB / 223.4 MB)
(OS Linux Mint 12)
I installed using the instructions from the website, am running as root upon start up without any issues, and am able to stream all my music perfectly.
Player Settings:
The only transcode setting I have tested with this is the default for 4.6
- Code: Select all
mp3 audio
ogg oga aac m4a flac wav wma ape mpc
Step 1
ffmpeg -i %s -ab %bk -v 0 -f mp3 -
I am able to stream all of my podcasts without any issues in all player configurations I have tried except for the Android app, which randomly does not play some of the podcasts.
Subsonic Android App:
Version: 3.3
The actual audio files:
I have tried using Subsonic to manage the podcast feeds, and also an external program as well, and it made no difference the same podcasts where unable to be played regardless of which program handled the feeds. The podcasts are saved in a folder named "Podcast" within my music library, and I can view them all just fine like the rest of my library within the Android app.
The actual files themselves are mostly just voice recordings, with low bitrates, I do not know if that should or would make a difference. I can not exactly pinpoint as to why some of the podcasts work on the android app and some of them do not, yet all of them do from the other players.
The latest output from /var/subsonic/subsonic.log after fialing to stream the file that is pictured above in the screenshot (my username removed)...
- Code: Select all

Has anyone else encountered this? What could it be? What should I try next?
Thanks to anyone for the help.
