Subsonic Forum

Hello,
after installating a new USB sound card on my WHS I am now using Android to remote control the server. As the server is configured to go to standby automatically if not serving anyone, I was looking for a means to figure out subsonic is playing music. One idea was to look for established connections, as Android is continously updating the status. Thus I ran netstat -a | find "4443" (4443 is the listening port of subsonic) and got

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Joachim>netstat -a | find "4443"
  TCP    0.0.0.0:4443           server:0               LISTENING

and the list increases over time, and none of the connections is closed even if I terminate subsonic on Android or switch to another server (which is otherwise quite disruptive). My expectation would be that subsonic reuses the connection/port to the extend possible, or if not possible closes the connection.

What do you think?
Thanks, jol

What I would consider even worse is that also the server obviously never closes connections that are not used any longer. This can not only be a resource consumption issue but also ease denial of service attacks. Can you please close any connection not reused after say 300s ? Is there a limit on the number of open connections or do you wait until memory is exhausted?
Thanks, jol

Hi, I am having the exact same problem as the OP-- server is configured to standby when idle for some time, but can't figure out how to tell if Subsonic has active clients. I was also trying netstat, but it doesn't help since the connections aren't closed when the Android client is stopped.
I've searched and found verisons of this question but no answers. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I solved the idle standby problem with a task that searches the log file for INFO JukeboxService and then prevents Lights Out from standby, if you are also using LO I can share the details. But anyway I think the resource leak is a bug to be addressed independently of the idle topic.
My current configuration hides Subsonic (Jetty) behind IIS with ARR - I haven´t checked yet whether this helps.
Best regards, jol
