Subsonic Forum

Ok, been banging my head on the wall with this for days now and I have no idea how to proceed.

I am trying to get FLAC transcoding to work and initially the problem seemed to be related to ffmpeg but now I'm pretty sure it's not.

Here is my Info:
Ubuntu 11.10
running a manual install of 4.6

Code: Select all

SUBSONIC_HOME=/var/subsonic
SUBSONIC_HOST=0.0.0.0
SUBSONIC_PORT=4040
SUBSONIC_HTTPS_PORT=0
SUBSONIC_CONTEXT_PATH=/
SUBSONIC_MAX_MEMORY=1024
SUBSONIC_PIDFILE=
SUBSONIC_DEFAULT_MUSIC_FOLDER=/var/music
SUBSONIC_DEFAULT_PODCAST_FOLDER=/var/music/Podcast
SUBSONIC_DEFAULT_PLAYLIST_FOLDER=/var/playlists


/var/subsonic/transcoding looks like this:

Code: Select all

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 2012-02-11 11:31 ffmpeg -> /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   13 2012-01-18 08:48 flac -> /usr/bin/flac*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   13 2012-01-18 08:48 lame -> /usr/bin/lame*


Log file looks like this:

Code: Select all

[2/12/12 11:29:30 AM MST]   INFO   PlaylistInputStream   chris listening to "The Immaculate Collection [1990]/12 Madonna - The Immaculate Collection [1990]- Like A Prayer.flac"
[2/12/12 11:29:30 AM MST]   DEBUG   TranscodeInputStream   Starting transcoder: [/var/subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg] [-i] [/home/music/Madonna/The Immaculate Collection [1990]/12 Madonna - The Immaculate Collection [1990]- Like A Prayer.flac] [-ab] [320k] [-v] [0] [-f] [mp3] [-]


And this is all that shows up until the next time I try to play anything

So as you can see by the log info subsonic is trying to transcode the file into STDOUT but the player comes up with nothing, it loads the time of the song but never plays.
If I run the command:

Code: Select all

./ffmpeg -i /home/music/Madonna/The\ Immaculate\ Collection\ \[1990\]/12\ Madonna\ -\ The\ Immaculate\ Collection\ \[1990\]-\ Like\ A\ Prayer.flac -ab 320k -v 0 -f mp3 test.mp3


replacing the "-" at the end with "test.mp3" file name I get a playable MP3.

So this tells me that subsonic is not getting the STDOUT from the streamer but I have no idea what else to do?

Any ideas?

Just in case here is the ffmpeg info as well:

Your transcoding settings look ok to me so its a bit of a mystery?
Have you tried deleting the player and letting SS create a new one?
I am assuming that it is only flac files you are having problems with?

Yep, tried that a few times too
