Subsonic Forum

I donated to Subsonic yesterday so that I could permanently stream music to my Android phone. When I went to go set it up, my old account was inaccessible because it said that my trial period was up, but I had the activation key. But that's not so much a real issue, as it was only a little annoying.

Next, I tried to make a new URL to access from my phone, but every single one that I've tried as given me the following message:

Code: Select all

Status: [blahblahblah].subsonic.org is registered, but could not connect to it. (ConnectTimeoutException)

This has been going on for almost two days.

Basically, what I want to know is in the subject line: is it down for everyone or just me?

I have the same problem to....
Its never worked for me but i think its due to me being behind a proxy.

Many ISP's block anything that tries to set up a server on a residential network, in fact if you read your ISP agreement, it is probably specifically prohibited. That said, setting up and using homeservers is becomming commonplace and ISP's need to adapt to reality.

There are ways around the problem. First, look in your router's menus/tables and determine th IP address assigned to your access point by your ISP. This is your externat IP address. If you can't find it in your router, just google my ip address and go to any site that will report your ip address.

Once you know your external ip, you can check to see if your SS can be accessed from the internet by just typing in you ip:portnumber.

If that works, you then need to determine if yourserver.subsonic.org works, but in my experience, once you connect, the subsonic connection works as well.

well, I feel dumb. it appears that all I had to do was...

wait for it...

change my password.

yep.

thanks for all your help!

Don't feel bad, we've all been there.

Glad to hear it's fixed.
