Hi,
I would be very interested in finding out what's causing this.

If it's convenient to you, could you create a temporary test account for me on your server so I can try to reproduce the error from my phone?

TIA,
Sindre

test account

Sure.
The test account is

username: android
Password: test
The server is
Sole.subsonic.org
Although I couldn't log in using the above address, kept getting username/password incorrect.

What worked for me was.

Sole.gotdns.com:5001/

Hope this helps you find the problem

Thanks for setting up the test account. Please note that I changed the password of the "android" user.

It works fine both from my Nexus One and from an Android emulator, so I'm not sure what's causing the problem.

If you want to pursue this further you can install the Android SDK, hook up your phone to the pc, and do a "adb logcat" to look at the log messages.

I'm happy to install the sdk. And can work out how to get the log,
but what should I look out for?

Do you reckon you could have a look at the log?

Also if there is anybody who has a HTC desire, I could give you an account to see If its crashes your phone as well that would be great.

Hi.

I got a Desire with 2.1. If you provide an account I can give it a try.

Hi

I've just tried your server and it force closes any time I go to the music library. Tried with both version 1.3 and 1.3.1.

I have no problem connecting to my own server or a server belonging to a friend of mine.

very interesting, so it works for sindre on the nexus one and the emulator, but wont work for you on your htc desire, but yours does.

ill download the sdk and get the log, hopefully that can shed some light on this problem.

thanks so much for your help guys.

I see the exact same behavior on my HTC Evo with android 2.2, not rooted or anything. I'm using ubuntu for a server , and haven't tried on a windows server yet, but the demo server works just fine. Thanks.
