4.01 Keeps Starting Songs Over

[buff12db]

I just installed last night and got things up and running. This is such an awesome idea, but it's not working so great for me right now. I can get music to play on my Droid Eris, but at some point in every song it starts over again and I get an error message (MediaPlayer error:1(31)).
Any help out there with this problem? Many thanks to the developers.

Im having the same problem. It will start to play and at some point during the song it will stop playing and say MediaPlayer error (31). Now after using this program and having it install and up and running, I don't quite understand the over all use of this program. It looks like to me that all its doing is giving you access to your music remotely and then you select the song you want and then it down loads it to your mobile phone. Now for the every day user how is this any better than just using your phone like a mp3 player and just putting the music on you phone and just playing it that way? Now if it streams to me like lets say a radio would do on the fly then I would see a use, but from what I have setup(and it could be setup wrong) its just an fancy FTP server/Client setup. Am I wrong with my thoughts?

Am I wrong with my thoughts? :?:

Yes, because it isn't a pick song > song downloads completely > you play song locally on phone thing, It's a pick song > song starts to play > when song is finished it gets stored on /sdcard thing.

So, "radio" but the files get saved on the phone afterward. A trip to settings > delete cached music will empty out what was streamed and saved to your phone.

Also, I have a few terabytes of music - much more than will fit on my 2gb microSD card. I have access to the whole lot of that via Subsonic instead of selecting a dozen albums, USBing them to my phone, then hitting the road with my phone.

I don't think you grasp what im trying to say. What he is doing here more/less is he streaming the first song of your play list as its downloading and then continuing down the list downloading the next so you don't have to wait. In turn saving songs to your phone (which is valuable space) and is why we are all here in the first place. What I think needs to be the primary option is something along the lines of Slacker radio, Pandora Radio and how they stream their music. Lets take YouTube for instance, when you go watch a clip it doesn't download to your PC to be brought back up the next time you go to watch the movie 2 days later. It has to re-stream it to you, if they used this method of delivery they would have half the worlds hhd's filled up in weeks. Now if the person so chooses to download the music to their phone and manage the songs/space consumed that is cool, but don't go and download all the songs just to turn right back around and delete them to make room for more later on. Just stream it the correct way the first time and life would be a lot more simpler. Now with all that said this guy has a very nice product with a lot of cool features that make the experience very nice(minus the micro managing of the songs on the phone). Back in the day they had a plugin for WinAMP called ShoutCast. It did exactly what I am talking about, but its biggest down fall was lack of control of which song you had to listen to. It was a non stop 24/7 radio station on repeat of you play list. If ShoutCast and SubSonic could make babies then they would be the perfect media streaming combo out there.

+1 I'm having the same problem with my htc evo. If I can get this worked out and subsonic starts working smoothly I will definitely donate.

OK getting back on topic with the original post. I have an HTC EVO and 4.0.1 server installed on Debian 5.0 with a fairly new kernal. I have the server up and running and I can connect out side the local network with my evo over my 3G. I would say 60% of the time the song will play for 5-20 seconds and then stop playing and return to the beginning of the song. Now at first I thought it might be my phone signal but when I look i have well over 70% signal. I also have the server running on two bonded T1's running at 2.97~ Mb/s up and down so I don't think its a bandwidth issue on the server side. I have read that many people are having this same issue when updating to the newer version of the software 4.0.1 from the later 3.* versions. Any thoughts on some settings i might be able to adjust to get better performance or is this a little bug that needs to be introduced to a can of RAID?

Just a bump for all those people having issues with songs not streaming and cutting out.
