Modified <8 hours ago - is this the stable release? http://sourceforge.net/projects/subsoni ... sonic/4.7/

Sure looks like it!

I just installed it, it shows as 4.7 (build 3105)

Coolio

Hope it's fixed the "various artists" bug? Can you guys check?

No i think not, have only looked in Source-code,
but you can try my Mod, there i change this issue.

Hm, I guess it is not. Oh well

It would be merely superficial if it was only showing "Various Artists" in the Artists field instead of the actual artist, but it also refuses to scrobble the songs to Last.fm when playing VA albums, which is a real bummer... and the search doesn't work for songs on VA albums.

@Madevil, does your modification work with the WAR file version? I run on Jboss and use just the .war.

I run MadEvil's WAR version on Windows. Runs just dandy!

Hi, it test my Mod on

*) Windows 7/2008R2/8
*) Ubuntu 12.04
*) Fedora 17

tested with

*) setup package installation
*) WAR file only installation
*) standalone jetty installation
*) standalone tomcat installation

I think without tests it also works with JBOSS

best regards

Various Artists is an interesting topic! It illustrates the difference between the Subsonic 4.7 directory based approach, compared to the completely tag based approach I've set up for myself. (viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9504)

The way I have it, is that the left frame is populated with artist names found in tags. It is not populated with directory names. The album artist tag takes precedence here, so a Various Artists album will get grouped into "Various Artists" in the left frame.

When you click "Various Artists" in the left frame, your Various Artists album will be displayed chronologically. When looking at an album here, however, artist names from all different songs will be shown. They will also appear in playlists, scrobbling, and when you search for artists.

Next scenario: you probably have artists with albums of their own, but who also has a couple of tracks on different Various Artists albums. These artists will appear in the left frame, too. (All main album artists will.) But when you click them, you get a list of all their albums where they are the main artist, followed by all Various Artists albums where they appear with one song.

Here's an example: I only have one album by artist Moneybrother, but he also appears on a compilation album. Then it gets displayed like this: http://i.imgur.com/Hw4aH.png

I really think Sindre should adopt to this as well.

I've tested Madevil's Mashupmod, but it throws an error during deployment

However, probably something which should be possible to have a look at over time to have it work on Jboss too.

I checked out the MusicCabinet mod, looks really good, but I am actually quite satisfied with SS as it is, as I mostly use it to stream music at work (at home I use Mediamonkey) so I think a fully fledged DB install, with all the possible errors that might include, is a bit overkill for me atm.

@Hakko you have very nice taste in music; Mirah, MBMA, Moldy Peaches, Monsta Island, very eclectic

this mod is compiled with Java JDK 1.7, so is on your Server also Java 1.7 installed? i read 1.6? Maybe referenced wrong Java Version ?

Best regards

Thanks, that's a great compliment. I do enjoy most genres (except everyday radio music) and finding hidden gems. That's why I need a music server that helps me. : )

And to be honest, I'd say you're more likely running into trouble using a mediocre HSQLDB than storing your data in PostgreSQL. seriously, I love that piece of software so much. I'm so pleased with having my entire collection indexed with additional last.fm data.

The other day, I needed to find which mp3 files in my collection that lacked embedded artwork. The day before, I wanted to list the most popular artists on last.fm I was missing in my library, for all genres that I've listened to the last month. It's so rewarding that all answer's to such questions are just a simple query away.

I'm having the same issue that some others are having since updating to 4.7.

My media folders are no longer valid, and it tells me "Folder Not Found." I had changed nothing else, aside from running the update. Has anybody else run into the issue?

Did you change the file/ac permissions in 4.6? In which case you will have to do that again as it classed as new install.

I had like 2 or more problems with the database. My database was corrupted two times, the entire website was down because of it and I still don't know exactly why it is doing this. Seriously, like hakko said, this needs to be changed.

As much as I respect and appreciate all that Hakko does and I readily acknowledge that he is using a better database than what is native to Subsonic; don't be mislead into thinking that Subsonic is inherently unstable and cannot be set up to run dependably. To jump to the conclusion that your issues are an incurable flaw that can't be remiedied is illogical in lieu of the fact that many of us are not experiencing the same issues.

If you are having db stability issues you can try a few things.

Uncheck your media folders "Enabled" boxes and rescan then clean-up db which doesn't take very long when there's nothing to scan. Then re-enable the folders and rescan.


Your description of your problems is too vague to suggest anything else. A few more details might give us enough to suggest a few other things.
