Subsonic Forum

would like to be able to let users play .mp3s but not so much .mp4s, .mkvs, .avis etc

could some tick boxes or something be added when setting up user accounts that would allow this?

Are you sure that it is not complaining about the file permissions? The owner must be some entity that subsonic is in, and the file permission must be r for owner, group, and world.
For example:

Code: Select all

-rwxr--r-- 1 jar squeezeboxserver  301211187 Sep 21 11:14 Anthem.MOV
-rwxr--r-- 1 jar squeezeboxserver  634930639 Sep 21 11:14 Emily'sReel.MOV
-rwxr--r-- 1 jar squeezeboxserver  948007693 Sep 21 11:15 Encores1.MOV
