network time out on large folders

[ShadowVlican]

good thing the latest version of iSub now has this option

Added a tap to cancel load when loading folders so you never get stuck in the case of network issues

it's a needed feature given how often subsonic doesn't load large folders/playlists...

So I love Subsonic, and I love that it gets updated regularly, but I am having this same issue with not being able to load large folders with lots of files subfolders. I just get network errors. The only way to access my music is by searching keywords. I'd really like to browse..... Is there a fix in sight for this? Perhaps the app could be set to cache these large directory structures on your phone rather than trying to read it from the server every time?

I compiled a modded version with 60 second timeouts instead of 10 seconds:

You will need to uninstall the current version before installing this one. Since it is signed with a different key it will not install over the old one.

It's version 3.3 (version code 46)
The only thing I changed was RESTMusicService.java lines 111 and 112:
private static final int SOCKET_READ_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT = 60 * 1000; //changed from 10 to 60
private static final int SOCKET_READ_TIMEOUT_DOWNLOAD = 60 * 1000; //changed from 10 to 60

Thank you!!

You've made my nearly 300gb music collection usable via subsonic on my phone.

I could very rarely connect to the server previously, but after installing your moded version of the ap, I haven't had a problem yet. I store all my music in lossless .flac files, but stream them in .mp3 using subsonic. Seems to be working great so far. Thanks again.

Hey mate
Could you write a tutorial for noobs how to extract an Android .apk file and adapt those lines by hand?
I am really interested in doing such things on my own. It would be a great knowledge whenever a new version of subsonic is released.

Would you mind it to make such a tutorial?

Version 4.7 is in active development, although I can't tell you how far off the next beta will be. Pefrormance issues are at the top of the list and are being worked on. I did get a look at a prerelease 4.7 site and it does look like it is significantly quicker, which should address this issue, but we won't know for certain until it's released.

It looks like ver. 4.7 is going to be a major revision of the database, search engine implementation, and video performace; among other things. This has been the longest time span I can recall between versions, so I'm pretty confident that Sindre is putting a lot of effort into getting a lot of things fixed in the next version.

We be keepin fingers crossed.


Early on I used to do a lot of modding, but then it just got harder and harder to keep track of everything I needed to do when a new version came out. Modding's fun and useful if you have the time, but for me it's been easier to give feedback to the dev in the feature request forum and to give good bug reports in the announcements section when the beta gets released. Takes a bit more patience, but Sindre really does listen to what goes on here in the forums and does try to get things fixed over time.

Same issue with the android client.

I'll try your the alternative client but a fix in the official should be great !

Thankks !

edit : Thanks you , it works with the alternative client, could you do a tutorial to explain how you extract the apk and make the modification ? it'll be great. Thanks
