I download a podcast daily, 3 - 1 hour episodes. Since June of 2014.

May 19th the files played fine, May 20th they did not. I get this error...

Code: Select all

This happens playing with the subsonic or DSub apps on my Android phone, either locally on my local LAN by WiFi (no firewall/forwarding rules) or remotely through my firewall.

However, all files play fine in the web client (PC on the local LAN).

In the past I have had to update the ID3 tags, removing the ID3v1 tags from the files in order to make them play on with DSub or Subsonic apps on Android.

Why?

Well you all will be glad to know that I found the problem. right.

The files that do not play have a corrupted ID3v2 TIT2 tag.

The Title, of every "bad" file has a DC3 control character in it. This of course is CTRL-S or XOFF. So the ID3 tag is causing the network stream to stop with an embedded software flow control character.

These DC3 characters are in the tags as they are from the author.

I have notified the author of this issue and have no idea if they will fix it. I will try to find a way to edit the tags now to fix the files.

I hope this helps somebody.

It would be really great if subsonic filtered the text inside quotations of the tags for plain text so this wouldn't matter.

Yikes what a complicated problem. Thank you for sharing the solution so others can know what to look for.

This is happening to me as well on the latest version 5.3. But this didn't happen to me in 5.2.1.

I'd like to make a correction. This is only happening for me on iOS apps shen running through CloudFlare SSL. Such as play:Sub, iSub, soundwaves.This then causes my music not to play on iOS.

When I use an app such as dsub on android or use my web browser on the computer it works just perfectly.

I had the same problem with dsub app using my android smartphone. It does not happen when I'm using the web interface.
