Subsonic Forum

Hi Everyone, I've been using Subsonic + Music Cabinet for a couple weeks on an Open Media Vault box.

--Subsonic 4.8 --OMV 0.5.25

I had a NAS HDD in NTFS with the music I was using with my previous subsonic setup.
I put the NAS HDD into OMV and got Subsonic/Music Cabinet working (for the most part) right away, no problems

However, I soon came to realize that having the NAS HDD in NTFS was causing trouble with OMV so I formatted to EXT4 to play nice with Linux...
Then, after moving music back to HDD (with a few brand new music artists) I mounted the drive through OMV, and made a symbolic link (NAS) to use instead of (UUID)

This is where I began having a problem...

I rescanned my music, refreshed the left window pane, and ALL my music was there...but NOTHING would load Album Art OR Play.....EXCEPT, the brand new folders I had just put on there that Subsonic had never seen before...those loaded normally

So...Thinking maybe the symbolic link caused a problem, I used the UUID -->> Still Nothing
So...I deleted the Media Folders, rescanned (everything remained in the left pane..?) -->> Still Nothing
So...I renamed the Subsonic DB (to subsonic.data.bak) so it would recreate the DB -->> Still Nothing
So...I punched through both my monitors and went and ate a bowl of oatmeal -->> STILL NOTHING


Did I miss a step somewhere in something I did?
Am I way off base with my attempts to resolve this?

Would really like to get this going again ASAP, Any advice is most apreciated

Well, after a little more messin around on my subsonic box, I figured out my problem...

What I ended up doing was:

Enter into PostgreSQL (PSQL)
Delete the "musiccabinet" and "subsonic" databases manually (DROP DATABASE;)
Re-Create the databases (I used the same names as well) (CREATE DATABASE;)
Re-Assign ownership of "subsonic" DB to the "subsonic" USER on my box (ALTER DATABASE <db_name> OWNER TO <user_name>;)

Then, after about 1.5 hours of waiting for a Music Cabinet/Subsonic Full Scan to get done, All seems to be in working order again.


Sooo, to everyone who may have stumbled across this post with a with a similar issue, hope that may help you as well.
