[Semi-solved] Unable to open mp3 or movies on arm machine

[Tokka]

Hi all, i'm trying to open subsonic on an arm pc (armhf), using firefox or chrome, but on every case i have a black bar for mp3, and a black screen for movies, and on the right panel no movies ar listed.
I'm doing something wrong, or there is some incompatibility with arm pc?
Thanks in advance

Anyone has idea, or some suggestion to give me?

Posting a screen shot may make things a bit clearer? but the right frame only contains the chat and now playing entries

Hi Bkkk, thanks for your answer
Here are the screens for audio and video, hope this will clear a bit what i was saying





Thanks again

Do you have the flash plugin installed on the pc you are using (client not the server)?

[Tokka]

Unlukly no, it's an amr machine, and adobe flash is not installable
I have installed gnash, and tried lightspark too, but with the same result

[Tokka]

Any ideas to how solve this issue?

To use SS the client machine needs the flash plugin.
You could try the Madsonic branch which does support HTML5 (Webm)

Just tried, without success
Seems that the flash plugin is a must to make SS (or MS) works properly. With webm i could open video files, but cannot play mp3 (status bar will be not displayed ).
There is an hope to have gnash working in the future?

Just a little update
I've had to leave the tries for a while, and after had rebuilt all the OS (now i have ubuntu 12.04 lts on board), at the moment i'm running SS 4.9 with java 8 and flashplayer plugn (only chromium, not firefox ).
Mp3 are working fine, but video files returne me

WARN StreamController - Unknown duration for video-file. Unable to estimate transcoded size.

Can someone help me to understand how to set the correct transcode?
Thank in advance

Edit: noone has suggestions where i can investigate to solve?
