Non admin users can't playback most video files in webUI
Posted: Sun Jun 02, 2013 1:01 pmGood morning everyone.
I run subsonic on a headless ubuntu server, on an ESX server as a virtual machine. This has been the same version of ubuntu since 2007 regularly updated.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise
Subsonic version is
License Subsonic Premium
Version 4.8 (build 3434) – April 17, 2013
Server jetty-6.1.x, java 1.6.0_27, Linux (70.6 MB / 113.5 MB)

Unfortunately I am uncertain when exactly this started happening as I use subsonic mostly for music and rarely for videos and I regularly run updates on my server. Recently however most of my video files will not play in the web player unless I am an administrator.
As a regular user I get the
"Video not found or access denied:
/stream?id=STRINGTOPLAYERANDOPTIONS"
As an administrator everything seems to play.
The weird things are as follows.
Some videos play even though all videos have the same permissions within the linux filesystem.
I can download the video that won't transcode as a regular user, so it seems the user can read it.
The log doesn't throw an error
If I try and play a file as nonadmin I get the video error but the log states
tail /var/subsonic/subsonic.log states
[2013-06-02 08:57:15,732] INFO PlayQueueInputStream - reguser listening to "Morevideos.2/SomeVideo_-_S02E03.mkv"
As if it is playing perfectly.
Any ideas what is going on? My friends who use this are annoyed that it is no longer working.
Thanks
