Request for the Android App (and other apps)

Postby SirGCal » Tue Aug 28, 2012 4:28 pm

I have the service running on my media box, using my paid dyndns feature through subsonic and my own also (subsonic's is blocked by work).

It works beautifully on a PC or even using my phone's web browser. However the app on the phone would be more convenient, and works MOST of the time, but in some cases, I need to bounce through a local proxy to get the phone out to the real world. I can do this for most items but even after setting up the wifi connection with a proxy (everything else works), subsonic is unable to contact the server. I can using the web browser on the phone but it's a bit slow that way.

All and all I love it, have been using it and paid for it for quite a while now with almost no problems. I have some other feature requests for the service itself but it's a bit above what I think this level of software is capable of (live BR Iso-> streaming conversions for example). But this simple thing should work.

Since the proxy for my work connection (for example) is setup through the wifi setup on the phone itself, I'm a bit confused why it didn't work but... And I tried a phone reboot at the same time...

HTC EVO 3D running Ice Cream Sandwich

I also tried removing/reinstalling subsonic just to see if the ICS upgrade bugged out something. I am rather heavily disabled (Extremely Aggressive Multiple Sclerosis) and work from home MOST of the time, rarely going out but when I did I couldn't use my app (it's my line to sanity, my one constant in life).

Anyhow, if something could be done, even if I had to set a local proxy in the app for example (as long as there's a check-box to turn it on or off, and maybe even selections for multiple proxy depending on where I am). OR, if there is another way to fix this or something else I missed, please educate me.

Thanks for my favorite app on my phone! No joke. (well ok, ES File Explorer is my FAVORITE app cause I use that at home and the local player on the phone... but I use subsonic every time I leave the house... Now if I could just get a battery to keep me going all day...)

Thanks Again: SirGCal
