Subsonic Forum

Problem Description: If i try to tell subsonic to use an external player (with or without playlist control) and with or without transcoding the player will not start. After inspecting the play.m3u file with firebug it seems to be empty. Music and Video does not work with an external player. Internal player works without problems.

Troubleshooting Steps: raised memory limit for the java process to 256MB, restartet subsonic several times, tried nearly all possible settings in the player settings.

Playback Application and version: none

Last ten log file lines: No Log lines are generated while accessing the .m3u File. Only log lines from transcoding when using the internal player.

Why? it should be a standard m3u files saved on your computer and can be inspected via a normal text editor.
What browser are you using ?

Because the m3u file is handled by a browser plugin and no download window opens. So the simplest way (without fiddling with plugin settings) is to use firebug and take a closer look what is coming from the server. And there is only an empty file coming from the server.

But now, i dont know why, it works. Is it possible that the nightly search update run has something to do with it?
