Supersonic 1.1.6

Hi !
I've been working on a subsonic client for myself and now that it's stable enough I'm releasing it. I wanted a player looking kinda like foobar2000 with the main window showing all songs available on subsonic, and with proxy support (with authentication).

The player is multi-platform and requires Java 1.6 (preferably Sun's over OpenJDK) to be installed.
I'll add features and fix bugs as I go. Feel free to post comments and requests here. I'll post updates here.

Downloads are available here and sources are hosted on GitHub here.

1.1.0

1.0.3
- Added configurable global keybindings
- Added window state saving when closing application. State is restored during application startup.
- upgraded CDI (Weld) to 2.0.0


Looks good, perhaps it might be possible to include the chat system, so chat messages would appear in some part of the player as well? Not sure if the chat is part of the API or not, but would be cool to be able to have that feature.

Very nice Idea, I've been looking for a simple Client with just this feature set, but sadly:
It's not working for me.
I'm running on Linux/Ubuntu/Gnome Desktop, I tried to run it with openjdk 1.6 as well as with the Sun jdk 1.6. And the problems described are the same for both.

There seem to be multiple problems:
On an 4.5 Subsonic Server it doesnt seem to be able to get the Directory Listing, the Debug Listing is:

Code: Select all

DEBUG [SubsonicService:55] Invoking: getAlbumList

After that nothing ever happens and there is no Error Message that would indicate what the problem may be.

On my 4.6 Subsonic Server this does work, however nothing ever appears in the GUI. The Debug Output looks like this:

Code: Select all

DEBUG [SubsonicService:55] Invoking: getAlbumList
DEBUG [SubsonicService:55] Invoking: getMusicDirectory
DEBUG [SubsonicService:55] Invoking: getMusicDirectory
DEBUG [SubsonicService:55] Invoking: getMusicDirectory


This getMusicDirectory goes on for several minutes, then stops, however nothing ever appears in the GUI.
Again there is no Error Message. It's also kind of strange that the Window with the Status-Indicator disappears already after the getAlbumList was successful, but other than that nothing in the GUI shows up, and the DEBUG Output of "getMusicDirectory" keeps running for several minutes after that.

The second problem is that when I minimize the program it just disappears. It does have an Icon in the Notification Area, but the menu "Restore" just gives me a short animation of the window of the application minimizing into nothingness...

I am also getting nothing when trying to connect to my server. It doesn't show an error or anything. Just refreshes and everything is blank.

Same here. My server is using https would that be the issue?

I'm going to check what's wrong later this week, when I have some time to work on this side project, stay tuned!

I am getting a similar experience as the other connecting to my server on a Linux system. Looking forward to a fix to give it a shot. Really want a native app that I can do keybinds with in Linux!

Also, I was having a problem entering my password. The GUI wouldn't accept any typed characters in the dialog. I found the prefs.xml that stores this data under my .java directory and put in my password there. It seemed to work, but in the future I'd appreciate if the password data was encrypted when stored locally.

Great work thus far!

OK I fixed several problems regarding Library refresh and some stability issues. Please test and let me know if your issues are fixed !
I'll start adding additional features when everytihing is stable enough. In the mean time I've released an updated beta available here.

Hi, I tried it.
The "Test Connection" Button works.
Sadly I still can't update my Library. Here is the Logfile after a Run:

How many albums do you have ? If you have a lot of songs a timeout of 10 seconds is maybe not long enough.

Hi,
my current stats are:
2.008 Artists
2.014 Albums
13.615 Songs
My Subsonic Server is a P4 2,8Ghz with 2Gigs of RAM, the Uploadrate on the connection is 1024kbit/sec.

My guess is that 10 secs is way too short.

Indeed. Let me increase the timeout and also remove the current 500 albums limit.

OK done, bumped the timeout to one minute and removed the album limit. Please update to 1.0.2 and let me know.

Hi,

that did the trick for me, now I get to download the library, and I also get a Dialog where it says "Downloading x/y", but every 20 or so I get an Error Message with an Nullpointer Exception. The Application does not crash tough, and I am able to proceed. Then I can play a song from my library, but only one song. As soon as the next song is supposed to play, or I click on a different song for it to play, the application just completely freezes. The only thing I can do then is to kill the application.
There is no error message or debug output on that freezing however.

Could you try with Sun's JRE instead of OpenJDK please? I'm getting the same behavior with OpenJDK (regarding the freezing part). I'll investigate the issue.
Also, Could you please paste the relevant log part with the NullPointerException?
