Problem

After upgrading it seems that external players all give messages such as:

Unable to open item for playback (Access to file 41195 is forbidden for user mike (403)):

Built in player continues to function just fine.


Steps taken
I've tried recreating the user, recreating players, and every variation thereof.

Logs look like:

[2016-02-10 16:51:46,290] DEBUG StreamController - GET /stream?player=49&id=41199&suffix=.flac, Range: null
[2016-02-10 16:51:46,294] WARN SecurityService - Unauthenticated access attempt: Fullmoon

Not sure if this will help:

Code: Select all

select * from user_role where username='mike'

USERNAME   ROLE_ID
mike   1
mike   2
mike   3
mike   5
mike   6
mike   7
mike   8
mike   9
mike   10
mike   11
mike   12


No one else is having an issue like this? I searched the forums and saw a similar issue in an older version, but it seemed slightly different as it could be solved by deleting users/players.

I am having the same issue with 6.0.beta1 (build 4676). At first I thought it was because my Premium account expired the same day I installed the beta, but renewing the Premium account did not solve the problem.

Seems like it might be a file system permissions issue?

Interestingly, my Sonos player still works fine

My sonos works fine too. It's very strange.

I've been stuck using the built in player instead of foobar, which is my preference. I double checked file system privileges as well, but nothing changed there.

After further testing, I can stream to the external player if I select the "External Player" option and enable mp3 transcoding. It does not work if I select the "External Player with Playlist" option, with or without mp3 transcoding enabled.

I noticed this thread on the General forum: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=16316 and I have a suspicion that the API for file playback changed but maybe the m3u playlist generator doesn't (or can't) use the new API?

Ah.

I can confirm that external player works for me too, but I can't play entire albums. Only one song at a time.

External player with playlist seems to be the common denominator here.

Also, unless I use active mp3 transcoding, even the internal player won't work with raw flac.

Can Sindre comment?

I got same problem, when using external player with playlist.
Any news on fixing it.?

Hello!
Same here...

I upgrade to beta2 and still have this issue. Is someone looking into this? I think this is the biggest thread about a 6.x bug so far.


Thanks,

Just adding my name to the list of those experiencing this issue:

[3/24/16 11:05:18 PM CDT] DEBUG StreamController GET /music/stream?player=1&id=33360&suffix=.mp3, Range: null
[3/24/16 11:05:18 PM CDT] WARN SecurityService Unauthenticated access attempt: Walk on Water

I'm on beta 2.

Out of curiosity, I grabbed one of the URLs from VLC and pasted into a browser:

(URL: mydomain.com/music/stream?player=1&id=60556&suffix=.mp3)

HTTP ERROR: 403

Access to file 60556 is forbidden for user eric
RequestURI=/music/stream

I do have this defined in the Subsonic settings under "Access your server over the Internet using an easy-to-remember address." The URL is set to: http://mydomain.com/music. If I don't do this, per the issue here--http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16084--it plugs in a local IP address and the default port, despite accessing it via a remote URL.

Sorry, my mistake

The URLs in the generated m3u were missing the authentication tokens (that were introduced in 6.0).

Will be fixed in the next version.
