Album covers show but no thumbnails
Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2013 11:57 amI'm running Subsonic on an Arch Linux machine with OpenJDK Java. The music files are are on a network drive (CIFS). I am running subsonic as a non-root user as suggested by the arch wiki by inserting a small "sudo -u" edit in the subsonic shell script.
The problem: When I open subsonic in my web browser (Firefox 20) I see no thumbnails on artist, album or "Home" page (random selection), despite almost all albums having a 'cover.jpg' file in the folder.
When I choose any particular album, no cover image is displayed either but clicking the 'text-square-where-the-cover-should-be' to the right of the track list, the album cover shows up in its original size. This clicking does not however affect the previous no-shows -- there is still no album covers showing on the other pages.
This has lead me to believe that no thumbnails are being generated -- which is supported by the fact that /var/subsonic/thumbs have no files in it (only four empty folders)
I have tried in various combinations with no effect:
Any suggestions? My best guess was that it was a permissions issue but with the attempted fix not doing anything I can't see how that can be.

I have tried in various combinations with no effect:
- Rescan
- Change permissions on /var/subsonic/thumbs to 777 (everybody has read, write and execute/search permissions). The directory is owned by the user running subsonic.
- Restart subsonic service
