DLNA Doesn't work

[dtacheron]

Hi,

Subsonic last version (02/25/2018). Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

uname -a
Linux NAS 4.4.0-116-generic #140-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 12 21:23:04 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_151"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-8u151-b12-0ubuntu0.16.04.2-b12)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.151-b12, mixed mode)

DLNA player and Subsonic are on the same LAN.

i can't read music with a dlna player (i tried with 2 differents players that work with Windows 10 Media Streaming).

the player browse the files correctly but when you try to play a song, it iterates over all songs without producing music.

Logs are here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i1mXpFkBC0hLwxKhjk_SlbUJOWS7rYQL/view?usp=sharing

it seems that there is a problem with memory allocation

java.lang.NullPointerException
at net.sourceforge.subsonic.controller.StreamController.handleRequest(StreamController.java:80)
at net.sourceforge.subsonic.controller.StreamController.handleRequest(StreamController.java:66)

i'll re-try with a tail on the log file

[dtacheron]

ok, problem is here (net.sourceforge.subsonic.controller.StreamController)

Player player = this.playerService.getPlayer(request, response, false, true);
User user = this.securityService.getUserByName(player.getUsername());
try
{
if (!user.isStreamRole())
{
response.sendError(403, "Streaming is forbidden for user " + user.getUsername());
return null;
}

NullPointerException.
user object seems not allocated.

It works with subsonic android app.

it seems like you need to authenticate, and that dlna player not designed specifically with this in mind will not work properly ?

I had the same issue and found the answer:

login as admin, goto USERS

goto GUEST, set it to be able to play files, and give it access to your folders

also you can goto players, and look under the guest user, if you see that the last time guest was on was when you tried your DLNA/UPnP client, then its surely using guest access

i set it and it worked for me
