Ubutnu 10.04 and JukeBox - Help required

Having searched for several hours, I have yet been able to find any answers. Although there have been some claims, no-one ever actually answers the question.

Is there a confirmed solution to getting Jukebox Player working on Ubuntu 10.04 (or other)

The external player options work on the local machine but just no audio using jukebox feature. I have looked at routing the java sound in the sound.properties, no joy.

Other aspects of this application/service development is active and I consider very successful and well done to the dev members for providing.

I have been happy to donate.

Are there any members with any contributions to solve this?

I am using a purpose built media PC with the correct Java versions. The latest version of the .deb installer.

If there is other info that is useful please let me know

Many Thanks and looking forward to getting this application running

What version of Subsonic?
Can you play files on this PC outside of subsonic?
I assume you have X setup on this Linux setup.
Confirm a desktop app can play files.

Judging from the errors you look to be missing some support for audio files that subsonic is looking for.

If you do a forum search for this topic. I'm quite certain you'll find some
answers to this question.

Hi, Thanks for taking time here

subsonic
Version 4.1 (build 1806) – 10 September 2010
Server jetty-6.1.x, java 1.6.0_18, Linux

This box also runs boxee and songbird and my myth back end (all of which work fine and play audio, VLC plays audio without issue) but I am thinking the subsonic audio device is probably being taken/used but one of these applications! I am not sure how to test this further

So I tested it on a vanilla install of Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 with a few tweaks for the dependencies etc and still same issue of no audio in Subsonic Jukebox

X is setup

Do you have a Linux setup with subsonic working in jukebox mode? What is your build?

Ali

Good point on another software taking over the sound device.
That could be part of the issue.

I'm also getting the following error with jukebox:

ERROR JukeboxService Error in BasicPlayer.setGain()

New vanilla build ubuntu 10.10 desktop. Music plays fine at the console in flash player, but never when the player is defined as 'Jukebox'.

If I change back to Web player, it plays normally on the same machine, same hardware.

I found this while looking through the forum.

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update   # update to know about new repository
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

before you

Code: Select all

sudo update-alternatives --config java

to the Sun installation.

It seemed to work on my virtual machine.

Crazy. I JUST did that and was coming back to update with the same.

Sun Java fixed it for me... O.o

I did the uninstall of Open products through the Synaptics Package Manager (System, Administration, Synaptic...) and found the Sun packages in there as well.

The other documents I found about uninstall / reinstall seemed really cryptic, but I'm only doing Linux for this product.
