Subsonic Forum

Hi all.
I have a little problem with the external player option:

I am using Subsonic on a Debian server with Tomcat 6.0.20 and java 1.6.0_12.
Apache (2.2.9) is handling the ssl stuff and redirects to subsonic via mod_proxy (ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse). I already tried via mod_jk with the same result.
I can browse the page and stream to the embedded flash player without problems. "External player with playlist" is also working in conjunction with vlc.

When I try with "External player", vlc starts buffering, plays the first 1-2 seconds and then just stops.
I already played around with ProxyIOBufferSize and ProxyReceiveBufferSize with no luck.

If someone has an idea of what is going wrong here, please let me know.


Here are the vlc debug messages (I replaced the servername with "Example.com"):

Hi again.

This seems to be vlc related. On Windows with Winamp, everything is working fine. On Linux I can use Banshee.

Thanks anyway.

hi, I have the same problem, and actually win media player is also not working properly. Besides, half a year ago, I remember to have used VLC without any problems..

check my post: http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtop ... 30c05c0240

sindre, is this maybe 3.9-related? Is there some change in http-streaming?
