Hi All,

I'm having trouble getting the web player working on my Linux boxes using the new 3.6 beta 1. Here are my specs:

Server
Ubuntu 8.10 amd64 desktop
Tomcat 6.0.18

Client
Ubuntu 8.10 amd64 desktop
Firefox 3.0.5
Adobe 64-bit Flash player 10.0 d20

I tried this on two different Ubuntu boxes and have the same problem. The flash app doesn't seem to download the songs but is responsive to volume control and to the full screen toggle.

I have no problems using an external media player like VNC (and I love the new playlist feature). I also have no problems using the Subsonic web player through Firefox 3.0.5 on my Windows XP 32-bit laptop. Anyone else try the new Subsonic beta with similar client configs?

Any help is very much appreciated.

Can you please check if these examples work in Linux: http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/tu ... I-Examples (in particular "Combining External control and Listener feedback")

Thanks!

Sindre,

Thanks for the reply. I tested the "External Control and Listener Feedback" examples using my Linux boxes (client spec listed above). Here are the results:

JW_API_xmpl_6-1-0-0.html - Works
JW_API_xmpl_5-2-4-0.html - Doesn't work (doesn't load/play the video but is responsive to volume control and full screen toggle)
JW_API_xmpl_6-2-0-0.html - Works

Hope this helps you troubleshoot.

Thanks.

Do you see any javascript errors (Tools > Error Console) when you operate the Subsonic player, and the 5-2-4-0 example?

Sindre,

I do indeed get JS errors when I try to play a song with the Subsonic web player.

I receive a "player is undefined" error on:

http://192.168.255.101:8080/subsonic/playlist.view?

When I click on the error, firefox opens the JS source and highlights:

"player.sendEvent("PLAY");"

on line 282.

Regarding the "JW_API_xmpl_5-2-4-0.html" example, I don't get any JS errors when clicking play on the video in the flash player, but I do get the "player is undefined" error when I click the "load playlist from memory" link on the page directly above the flash player. When I click the error and bring up the JS source, the first <html> tag is highlighted.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to test.
