Subsonic Forum

Hi All,

I just upgraded to Subsonic 4.6 from Subsonic 4.5. Under Subsonic 4.5, I was able to transcode flac files to wav and then stream these wav files via an external player (with playlist) with no issues (assuming I had the network bandwidth necessary). Under Subsonic 4.6, however, the new transcoding framework seems to have issues transcoding to wav files. The files will start to play fine, but then will cut off after 10-30 seconds and the next track will begin.

I see the issue using both VLC on Linux and on the latest version of the Andorid App. When I try to use an external player with the flac > wav transcoder enabled, each track will play for a few seconds, then cut out.

When I turn off all transcoding on the external players and stream wav or flac files directly to VLC (or wav files directly to the android app), everything works fine, so clearly the issue is being introduced during the transcoding phase. The default mp3 transcoding seems to work fine, so the issue seems to be limited to transcoding to wav (or maybe any non-mp3 type).

I see the same issues using all of the following (theoretically equivalent) transcoding parameters (large gap indicates separation between step 1 and 2 where necessary):

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i %s -f wav -
flac -d --stdout %s
ffmpeg -i %s -f wav -     lame --decode - -
flac -d --stdout %s     lame --decode - -


The Subsonic log shows the the transcoding process getting interrupted after a few precent:

Like I said, these all worked fine on 4.5. The issue is new to 4.6 and seems to be related to the new transcoding framework. Non-transcoded audio, and mp3 transcoded audio all works fine.

Any ideas or assistance would be appreciated. I love the program, but really want to be able to use it for lossless audio.

Thanks,
Andy

A few updates:

I upgraded java on the Ubuntu 11.10 Server that I use to host Subsonic to Oracle version 1.7.0_02. Previously I was using the Ubuntu default openJDK 6:

Code: Select all

java version "1.7.0_02"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_02-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 22.0-b10, mixed mode)


However, I'm still experiencing the same issue: When transcoding to wav and trying to use an External Player with Playlist, each song will play for 5-30 seconds and then skip to the next song. I have confirmed this using VLC on Ubuntu 11.10 and using WMP on Windows XP SP3. External Players with Playlist seem to work fine when transcoding to mp3 or when not transcoding at all (i.e. streaming flac or wav natively). This worked under Subsonic 4.5

An interesting note: VLC seems to be able to "pre-determine" the erroneous cut-off length of each song. When I first load a Subsonic external player playlist into VLC, all the tracks are listed with their correct lengths (i.e. 3:36). However, as soon as I start playing a track, it's length drops to the shortened length (i.e. 0:27). It's as though the new transcoding framework is sending the wrong length when the file starts playing, causing the player to skip ahead when it hits this "shortened" length instead of playing the entire track.

As another note, is seems at least one person has this working on a Windows-hosted Subsonic install (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8396), so the issue may be related to Linux-hosted installs.

Any ideas?

Further update: Having just got Jukebox working, I can confirm that this issue seems to be limited to streaming (external player or Android). When using a Jukebox player, the aforementioned flac>wav transcoding seems to work and play without error. It is only when I try to stream files with these transcoding settings that I have experienced errors.

Yeah, i find i have the same issues
did somebody ever find a solution for this? i'll be downgrading back to 4.5 again i guess :(

Just signed up to confirm this really seems to be a problem...

I'm just getting a new media server built and having a very hard time getting this working.

Here is my setup and some of the things I've tried...

Ubuntu 11.10 server 8GB ram
Java version:

Code: Select all

java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode)

I've tried using the supplied ffmpeg binaries as well as the ones that come with Ubuntu by linking the /var/subsonic/transcoders/ffmpeg with the one in the /usr/bin/ as well with no luck ...

I've also changed the transcoding commands to several other versions I've found here as well with no change, the output below is using the standard listed on the transcoding page.

It looks like something is happening but in the end there is no output to the player?

Any help would be great

I'm still experiencing this issue and have not been able to find a solution. It seems to be an issue related to the way Subsonic uses transcoding programs and stdi/o in 4.6 on Ubuntu/Linux when the output is a wav file. The underlying transcoders seem to work fine when run without subsonic (i.e. from the command line using pipes, etc), but they all exit prematurely when used by Subsonic 4.6.

Any ideas to get this fixed would be greatly appreciated... It puts a serious damper on using Subsonic on Linux for wav output.

Just had some more time to look at this ... I got it working!

Here's what I did...

Download the "Standalone" version
Extract all the files and copy them to /var/subsonic/
Start Subsonic "sudo /var/subsoninc/subsonic.sh"
Set the username password/library location etc using the web interface.
Now install the transcoders:
sudo apt-get install lame flac faad vorbis-tools ffmpeg
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/lame /var/subsonic/transcoders/lame
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/flac /var/subsonic/transcoders/flac
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ffmpeg /var/subsonic/transcoders/ffmpeg

What this says to me is that the transcoders that are supplied with the .deb version are not fully compatible with ubuntu and so they are what's causing the issue.

Just for the record, I'm running 11.10...Hope this helps!

So I tried the steps posted above:
1. Used dpkg to remove the .deb Subsonic 4.6 install
2. Re-installed the standalone version of Subsonic 4.6
3. Installed the transcoder packages
4. Sym-linked the transcoders into the /var/subsonic/trancode folder
5. Set subsonic back up

These changes seem to have increased the time before the song ends/skips, but I am still experiencing the same issue. It now takes 1-2 minutes for the song to end prematurely, but it still occurs without fail.

As before, the issue occurs when using either flac or ffmpeg as the transcoder. It occurs whenever I try to use an External Player with Playlist (as an aside, I can't seem to get External Players without the playlist to work at all in 4.6).

When using ffmpeg, the log reads as follows (with some minor redaction/edits for verbosity):

As you can see, the file is 00:05:01.89, but Subsonic spontaneously stops decoding and skips to the next track after 68.55 seconds.

When using flac, the log reads as follows:

Here again, Subsonic stops transcoding at 22% complete and skips to the next track.

In short:
* I am still experiencing the issue on a standalone install using Ubuntu 11.10 server
* The issue can clearly be seen in the logs
* The issue occurs when trying to transcode to wav using either ffmpeg or flac and an External Player with Playlist
* The issue is new in 4.6 (4.5 works fine)
* When bypassing Subsonic and piping the output of the transcoder directly to the system's soundcard on the command line, everything works fine. So I know the system can do this. Just not via Subsonic...

Joeshmoe, are you sure your install is working correctly 100% of the time?

Any other ideas?

Cheers,
Andy

Even under windows it does not work

Yup, same problem here. I was wondering why some of the newly buffered songs didn't play all the way to the end.

And happens of course only on my android phone. All utils from command line (ffmpeg/lame) work just fine.

ubuntu 11.10

# java -version
java version "1.6.0_23"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11pre) (6b23~pre11-0ubuntu1.11.10.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode)

Downgraded to 3.5 and things are back to normal

seeing this behavior too, anyone find a solution?

Not yet. Hoping that it's fixed in 4.7.

It's a known issue that should be fixed in 4.7. Track length calculation method was changed in 4.6 and adversely affects some transcodings. 4.4 and 4.5 do not have this problem. 4.7 is in active development and testing and is currently being tweaked to improve performance. As soon as this is resolved there should be a beta release.

In other of my posts I have outlined how I set up ver 4.5 and used 3 versions of ffmpeg to optimize transcoding for different file types by renaming each version to Audioffmpeg (the ffmpeg from 4.4 used to transcode mp3 and flac to ogg for mobile), Videoffmpeg (the latest static build from ffmpeg.org), and leaving the distribution version from 4.5 with it's original name.

We are all hoping that these issues will be resolved in 4.7 and we can have everything working properly under one version of ffmpeg.

My preliminary testing indicates that as of at least 4.7 Beta 2, this issue is resolved. Files transcoded to WAV using FFMPEG seem to play to completion just fine.

I can also report that External Player functionality seems to be a lot less buggy than it use to be. I can now use an external player, change tracks from the Subsonic web interface, and have the changes reflected in the External Player. This never used to work.

Thanks for all of the hard work!

P.S.

While this is now working with Subsonic 4.7 beta 2, there are a few issues to note:

• It only works with VLC 2+. VLC 1.X still does not seem to want to stream Flac or Wav files at all. Thus, it's possible that it was a change in VLC that fixed this issue as opposed to a change in Subsonic. I have not tested VLC 2+ with Subsonic 4.6 so I can not verify whether VLC 2+ is the fix, or whether Subsonic 4.7 is the fix.
• Occasionally, on at least a few systems I have tested with, VLC fails to auto advance to the next song in the playlist after the current song ends. If VLC is issuesed a Stop command followed by a Play command, it will correctly restart with the next track in the playlist.

Just some notes from my testing...
