Subsonic Forum

I have really been enjoying Subsonic so far and have come across a few things that would make this project even better. One thing (and I know it sounds kinda petty) is the User Login is case sensitive. I usually make most of the logins lowercased (since most people are using it from their home computers) but from an Android phone, it automatically capitalizes the user login name.

Another idea would be to implement a failed login attempt log and maybe an account lockout for an account in case of an attack.

Not sure if you have much experience with MediaBrowser, but they have a wonderful virtual folder system that would solve the problem with multiple music and video folders spanning several different drives. It basically directs to a .vf file that has all the different folder locations listed within. http://www.mediabrowser.tv/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=485
I think it just got mentioned, but it would be very useful to define what folders were accessable by different users.

Just my 2 cents on what may improve a pretty terrific project

Hi !

I'm using subsonic with 3 folders.

I can see only one folder or all folders. See on the left in your browser.

I can choose folders in android apps too.

I can see the folder selection as well, but many of us have several drives with movies. The current way means that I have to do something like: Drive 1 = Movies 1, Drive 2 = Movies 2 etc. It would be much more convenient to have Drives 1,2,3,4 etc all = Movies.

I know it is a workaround, but it IS possible.

You will have to use LDAP based authentication. The Xth time, based on the group policy, that a wrong password is entered, the user will be temporarily banned for x seconds.

Windows (and maybe some linux implementations of AD too) keep logs of logins. Long logs though.
