Subsonic Forum

Ok, so I've learned a bit about the Subsonic API and was able to take advantage of it to enhanced my Playlist Editor tool to work with Subsonic server instead of just displaying local files.


Current features:

- Connect to your Subsonic server using server name (no need for IP)
- Supports both local and remote servers using the 'Local Network' checkbox
- Easy navigation in your Subsonic server content
- Edit multiple playlist once
- Import / export playlist to your Subsonic server (Exported playlists will only appear for the user used to login)
- Delete playlists (still experimental)
- Export playlists to a local file
- A fancy about window

Update (V1.12)

- Song preview added
- About animation changed to reduce file size
- Hide connection details
- Bug fixes

To Do:
[list]
- Videos support

Latest version: V1.12

*Tested on Windows 7 and 8 and using Subsonic V5

I would love to get your feedback (good / bad / bugs / etc.)...

Do you know if this should work with https? I am trying to connect with ipaddress:port, and checking the Local Network box. The error is "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request." I am not seeing any messages on my Subsonic log. Anyway, can I navigate to a local copy of the .fpl file and use your editor? If there is a way to do this, I haven't figured it out.

I haven't tested this with HTTPS.
Currently there is no way to edit a local copy of the .fpl file

Do you have a valid Web Address for your SubSonic server or only direct IP?

I do use a dynamic DNS external address for my server, so I will give that a shot and let you know what happens.

I've tried several things to connect to my server with no luck. I guess I'm not sure what to fill out for a server name, or when to use the local checkbox.
If I put the name used to access my server "myname" (e.g. myname.subsonic.org) and a user/password, I get a message that says:
"An item with the same key has already been added."

I've tried using "localhost", the server's name, the server's local IP address, the server's remote IP address, all with/without the port number. They all respond with:
"The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request."

What am I doing wrong?????

Sorry for the late response, I got pretty busy with work lately...

Have you tried connecting without ".subsonic.org"?
So for example, if your server browser address is "http://mymusic.subsonic.org" you should use "mymusic" under the Server Name field

Did it work?

Yes I did. I've tried my subsonic name without the .org, without the subsonic.org, the actual I/P address, local host, local I/P, etc.
I don't know what else to try.

Do you see any error in the status bar when you input your server information and click the 'Login' button?
Also, have you tried with / without the 'Local Network' checkbox?

I don't know if you want to call it an error or not, but the status bar shows: "H:MM:SS AM - An item with the same key has already been added."
I get this with or without the Local Network check.
If I try to log in with the wrong username or password I get "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: stream". So I know it's at least trying to connect.
I've also tried to connect using an admin user, and a standard user. That doesn't matter either.
Anything else to try?

No luck here either. I think its depreciated.

I was trying 192.168.1.10:4040 (and everything else I could think of)
