Bugfix: Proper support for album artist.

Thank You.

Does the way you did it rescan the entire library and fix the old ones that use the artist instead, or does it only fix future scanned songs?

It will fix the old ones as well (once rescanned).

Cool sounds good. Can I request to update the db version to the latest bug fix release? I think it is 1.8.10. Im hoping it will at least reduce the number of db corruption issues that people are having.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Great! thanks for the new and improved updates.
One quick question (and please forgive me if I've missed the answer earlier), but I'd like to 'export' my user list (members) and it seems with each upgrade one of my chores was just to re-do(re-add) members (and having them re-connect and change their passwords,etc). It would be great if there were an 'export users' button (to save to a file for later 'importing' to a newer version of Subsonic). This list ideally would have their passwords info as well (encrypted if necc).

Thanks again for this amazing product!

Why do you need to do that? The Subsonic database (with users etc) should be unaffected by the upgrade.

I have installed beta2 and this are my first impressions; i like the new icons and fonts in de web interface. It isn't a mayor improvement, but a little more modern touch is very good...

The upnp server feature is working just a bit on xbmc... It shows me the artists and albums, but i'm not able to play a song or to see the album-art... XBMC version 12.2 currently used... upnp is a bit difficult so i heard, but would be nice if it works..

Can you make upnp respect the file/folder structure as subsonic does? That i get the folder / genre -> artist (named as HD folder which it is stored in) -> album / songs (with the help of id3 tags where possible)
This would be a huge advantage, because not all the music i have is properly tagged... I believe more people have a collection like this

Like it so far! Keep up the good work!

Hi,
it's great to have a dlna feature in the release.

But unfortunately it didn't work on my onky 616. The Receiver shows the subsonic client and the artists but didn't play songs

The artistlist shows entries, that are old. I mean, I have tagged all artists right for example AC/DC and not ACDC. On the PC there are no artists any more like ACDC. The client shows the artists right. I've tagged the mp3's a long time ago, I've updated the database every day. I didn't know what database will be shown on my receiver

I would think it great if the list in dlna client is the same as on the pc - for example:
on PC I've listed my artists this way: A , B , C in subfolders are the artists
the dlna client shows directly the artists

I hope I've described understandably

Hi Sindre,

I've been discussing the redirection of my Ubuntu server's audio output to my Sonos Play:1 via Icecast2/Darkice on the DSub for Android forum thread:

viewtopic.php?f=16&t=11788

One thing I would like is for Subsonic itself to create the http audio stream. I see there is an http live streaming command for video under the transcoding settings. Is there a way to get the audio to stream in a similar fashion? With DSub you can click on the RC button and it will initiate jukebox mode. When that occurs, can the Subsonic server initiate a concurrent http stream for audio? Also, could I define the audio http stream under the transcoding settings and assign that to one of my players?

I have successfully used Bubble UPnP on my Android phone to stream from my Subsonic library to my Sonos Play:1. That's great that it works, but it's a pain to navigate. To be able to use the Subsonic or DSub app, or even the web interface to do this would be awesome

Thanks!

When will this be final?

not sure what this is about but research online found a fix: update catalina.sh in tomcat7 bin dir and add the following:

Code: Select all

CATALINA_OPTS="-Dorg.apache.el.parser.SKIP_IDENTIFIER_CHECK=true"
