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 :)

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

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

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 :( :(

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? :P
Regards

Just a little update :P
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.
[2014-03-22 15:41:36,923] INFO PlayQueueInputStream - admin listening to "video-file.mkv"

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? :(
