Album artwork thumbnails not generating

[Bellfazar]

Hi,

I'm running a WAR deployment of SubSonic 4.7b3 on Tomcat 6 on Windows 7 x64. Most of my media is being pulled off of a Windows Home Server, so the Tomcat service is being run as a user that has access to the WHS. Whenever I try to load up a thumbnailed album art image, I get the following in subsonic.log:

[2012-08-15 23:18:24,567] WARN CoverArtController - Failed to create thumbnail for E:\Music Backup\Music\Ice Cube\Death Certificate\Artwork.jpg

I suspect it's a permissions issue, but the account Tomcat is running under has permission to write to any sub-folder of the subsonic folder.

Can anyone help?

Please let me know if there's any more information that I can provide.

I figured out what was causing the issue. When ImageIO.read() creates an instance of ImageIO.createImageInputStream() it requires %TOMCAT_HOME%\temp to be defined and writable by the account the Tomcat service is running under in order to cache the InputStream. I didn't have that folder, consequently ImageIO.read() would throw an error.

I'm running this on a QNAP 569L and the solution is to create the tmp directory which doesn't get created by the QPKG:

Code: Select all

mkdir /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/Subsonic/home/tmp
