Help with web radio

[mapomme1108]

Hello,

I am new to Subsonic.
I have installed it on my Qnap NAS

I have added a web radio with this url :
http://direct.franceinter.fr/live/franceinter-midfi.mp3

But when I click on "Internet TV/Radio" I am not able to play it.
Instead I have this message :
"html5: Video file not found http://192.168.0.20:4040/internetRadioStream.view?id=4"

How can I fix it?

Thanks.

Code: Select all

<video src="http://<mydomain>:4040/internetRadioStream.view?id=0" class="fp-engine" preload="metadata" x-webkit-airplay="allow"></video>

that's the DOM element. it should be an audio tag, not a video, and it should be passing in the expected mime/type. I'm not sure if that is a bug in "flowerplayer" or a bug in how subsonic is calling it, but it is definitely a bug. Not sure of a workaround other than using an alternate client that supports internet radio directly.

Hi,

Ok, I will wait for the next release.

Thanks

I get the same error, no matter what kind of stream I try to play on Subsonic's "Internet Radio" - didn't a very recent changelog say that this had finally been fixed now ?

Anyway, for example this radio has three or four different stream formats available, none of them play in current 6.1 beta2:

I don't know, but both these radio URLs works for me (Subsonic 6.1.beta2, OSX, Chrome):

http://direct.franceinter.fr/live/franceinter-midfi.mp3

Please note that Subsonic transcodes the streams to mp3, using ffmpeg. Can you take a look at subsonic.log for any errors?

Thanks

Just "[5/1/17 9:47:11 PM EDT] INFO InternetRadioStreamController Starting converter for radio: /var/subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg -i http://streaming.radionomy.com/MuppetCentralRadio -f mp3 -v 0 -"

nothing entered the player below, and the main window still had what we've described "html5: Video file not found", along with the url of the first station.

both stations play fine in SubFire, using the API for the streaming url.

I had this problem a while back, see here. The fix, although not helpful here, was to install subsonic via the FreeNAS App. Using the standalone install didn't work with regards to using the radio, not sure why, cuz the versions were the same.
I'm now using a standalone version again and the radio is also not working, with the same html5 error.

Thanks for the message, good to see the genius behind Subsonic on the forums

I've factory reset so can't provide the actual log but I guess it was a ffmpeg/Synology problem (again).

In log when playing e.g. FLAC from normal library it would find and try to use the ffmpeg, but without any further detail there's an error "Can't transcode, playing original". Since you say radio is automatically transcoded, I suppose that would have been the problem with those radio streams too.

I don't know, but both these radio URLs works for me (Subsonic 6.1.beta2, OSX, Chrome):

Can you please tell us what you have setup under settings --> transcode?

Mine says this:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i %s -map 0:0 -b:a %bk -v 0 -f mp3 -

Edit: Setting the radio works fine when using dsub (Android app).

Edit2: Is it possible to add logging to the stream transcoding? I think "-v 0" under transcode stands for "logging level panic", right (see here. The only thing resembling -v is logging. Setting it to 48 (debug) doesn't do anything, even in the log it still says -v 0

Edit3: Although playing on my android app works fine, I cannot cast it to my chromecast.

Hi,

same issue here.

I had similar problem on Debian 9.0.

After test in terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo /var/subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg -i http://direct.franceinter.fr/live/franceinter-midfi.mp3 -f mp3 -v verbose 0 - 2>> output.txt

I got error:

[tcp @ 0xbe46000] Failed to resolve hostname direct.franceinter.fr: System error
http://direct.franceinter.fr/live/franceinter-midfi.mp3: Input/output error

I think it doesn't love subdomains.

What works for me:
I was installed ffmpeg from apt

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

then I was renamed(backup) /var/subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg to ffmpeg_

Code: Select all

sudo mv /var/subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg /var/subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg_

and last step I was created a symlink to ffmpeg from subsonic's transcode folder(/var/subsonic/transcode/)

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ffmpeg /var/subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg


I'm not an expert but it sole dicision which works for me.

Hope this helps somebody!

no go for me. I can't get any radio stations playing. Log shows the below and nothing more. I don't really have anything else to go off.
