Subsonic Forum

Hello,

How can I clear out this error? I have since changed the directory to one without permission restrictions. But the error remains. Please advise.

Has the account that you're using to watch this video permissions to to convert videos?
See Log in with the account and check Settings >> Personal >> User is allowed to convert videos.

If that's ok you could check wether the account that's running the subsonic-service has full permissions on your media folders.

Thank you for the prompt response.

I am in logged in as admin, so no option to select "user is allowed to convert videos". But I believe that admin has that permission. Right?

Initially I had Subsonic pointed at a directory that it did not have permission. That's what initiated the error (i think). So I changed the setting to a directory where permission is not an issue. But the error does not clear out or reset.

Admin should indeed have all privileges to all mediafolders and to perform all actions.
Did you check If the account that's running the subsonic-service has full permissions (read / write) on your video folder(s)?
You could also create a new user and make sure that this user has privileges to convert video and run a test under that account.
If that's worling well, than there must be a problem with the admin-account.

Thanks for getting back.

Just tried your idea, added an account and checked the box. Alas, same issue.

Initially I had tried a folder in which permissions was a problem: /var/music/Podcast/

When I realized the issue, because of the error, I changed the "Save Podcast in" to point at the same directory in which I have all my music--which all plays without issues: /home/john/Dropbox/Music/Podcasts

Despite the change, however, it seems to be stuck on the first directory: Access denied to file /var/music/Podcast/MSNBC Rachel Maddow (video)/pdv_maddow_netcast_m4v-01-23-2017-214122.m4v

Doesn't it appear that the permissions on the file itself are not correct?
Could you check that?
I have been searching for this error and the only thing which comes up what makes sense is this topic:
http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16411&p=70279&hilit=Stack+trace+java.lang.SecurityException%3A+Access+denied+to+file#p70279
On the interwebs there's this :
http://forum.madsonic.org/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=857 which is about Madsonic, but since Madsonic is a fork of Subsonic it might help you.
It would be nice to know if either solution has worked for you, since this seems to be an issue that happens regularly.

changed the permissions to full access, read, write. Still getting the error.

Bummer.

I will check out the links you provided...

Tempted to uninstall and reinstall Subsonic...

Tried the steps listed on the links provided. Result: still had problem. uninstalled Subsonic and reinstalled. Now I have even worse problem:

HTTP ERROR: 503

SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE
RequestURI=/login.view

Powered by jetty://

Will start a new string for new problem, for the sake of posterity.
