Hello.
I have subsonic running on OSX 10.5.8. install went smooth! I have a fairly large collection of just under 7TB and working on converting all remaining MP3s to M4As. My problem is i can't seem to get the transcoding right. I can't even get m4a's to play without transcoding. MP3's work no problem.

Any help please.
Thank you in advance.

I have only 1 m4a audio file (a test track) but as I have never tested using 4.6 final I thought I would check.
I created another web player and turned off mp3 transcoding for it and it played with np
Obviously this will prevent flac and ogg files from playing but if you try that first to see if your converted m4a do play ok.
:mrgreen:

i think it should be working too, but it is not so......
here is the log:
[2012-01-16 20:02:58,292] DEBUG TranscodeInputStream - Starting transcoder: [/Library/Application Support/Subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg] [-i] [/Data/mp3s/music/B/Bad Company/Bad Company (1974) Remastered (2006)/01 Bad Company - Can't Get Enough.m4a] [-ab] [128k] [-v] [0] [-f] [mp3] [-]
[2012-01-16 20:02:58,323] DEBUG InputStreamReaderThread - (/Library/Application Support/Subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg) dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022

I'm not familiar with what is wrong can anyone make sense of this?

Looking further into this, it seems to be a MAC issue. I loaded subsonic 4.6 on a win7 x64 box and it plays and transcodes. I hate to fire up another box just to run subsonic, any MAC Wizards out there to assist?

If not, I know what I must do.... :evil:

It looks to me if it still trying to transcode the m4a into a mp3.
Did you do as I suggested and turn off the mp3 transcode option for the player?
