Subsonic 4.6.beta1 released

[corbincc]

EXACTLY.. that it was is going on... I now have all kinds of problems.. so i guess I have to delete the new transcode to ogg.. which sucks.. because i like it on the android player..

[bile]

Any chance of getting the tag manipulation issue fixed?

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7777

Or modifying the prefix filter to work with non space delimited artist names? A_Perfect_Circle shouldn't be listed under A.

Sindre, can I get a comment on these bug fixes? Do you use the Sourceforge bug tracker or have some other place where issues can be submitted and tracked?

Thanks.

This does not work for mp3's because mp3's are not transcoded (normally), therefore new players pick up the mp3 to ogg transcoding defined for the Android Player and try to convert any mp3's to ogg on the desktop player, which of course won't pkay in JW like they will on Android.

The only way to make this work is to add back in a check box for "Default" that if unchecked prevents the new setting from automatically being applied to all Players. If there is a "Default" setting we could then just apply new settings to specific players without disabling new players. Alternatively, you could set up a transcoding area specifically for mobile devices that would not affect the desktop players.

Agreed, I probably need to put the "Default" option back again.

Since there are still two "commands", could you not transcode to MP3 and then transcode to OGG?


Oh, and now, every time I try to play video, the play just displays a long string of random characters. Even on files that played fine before. (on Windows Server 2003 x86)

Looks like this is because the version of ffdshow for windows doesn't come with libx264 support compiled in. Reverting back to "ffmpeg -ss %o -i %s -async 1 -b %bk -s %wx%h -ar 44100 -ac 2 -v 0 -f flv -threads 0 -" works fine.

Edit: Did some searching and this build of ffdshow for windows works with the new command.

That's strange because the ffmpeg that comes with the Subsonic Windows installer is indeed compiled with libx264 support. Can you please try again with the Subsonic-supplied ffmpeg and post the error that is written to c:\subsonic\subsonic.log when/if it fails?

If anyone else is experiencing the same problem I would be very much interested in hearing about it.

Thanks a lot

When I first did the upgrade I ran into the same thing. Apparently the upgrade process didn't overwrite the version of ffmpeg that I had in the transcode subdirectory. Part of the problem was probably my own doing as I was trying different versions in the past. I just deleted and reinstalled the transcode directory and it fixed everything. Anyone having trouble should also be able to just download the latest build of ffmpeg for their OS and bring everything back up.

[sindre_mehus]

I would also like to know what you do on the demo site to deal with the multitude of generated "Guest" Players that you must get. I know how to clear them through the dbview window, but most users probably don't. It would be very nice indeed if there was a daily routine that ran to clear the guest players. Perhaps a selection on the Players screen to auto clear once per day with an option to clear them manually from time to time.

Yeah, that's slightly awkward. I every now and then delete the players using db.view. I will look into automatically deleting obsolete players at regular intervals.

Thanks,
Sindre

Fortunately, it's easy to test, as when I downloaded the other ffdshow exe, I renamed it and kept the original too. Does this for every non-FLV video file. Redownloaded the transcode pack, just incase. Still errors out every time. And removing the "-vcodec libx264 -preset superfast" section allows for playback.

[sindre_mehus]

This log is from the old ffmpeg. Try running the installer again, making sure that no ffmpeg processes are running when you do it.

Cheers

The transcoding pack is obsolete, as the transcoders now are bundled with the installer.

I'm seeing this issue after having the beta running for some days and then opening its window again and clicking the 'Playing' button. (attached screenshot)

Edit: It went away after a restart. Let me know if you need any logs.

You might also try:


ffmpeg - go to http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ and download the latest static build for your system. This site is for Windows builds. Check http://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html for other OS's. I just extracted the ffmpeg.exe and replaced the file in C:\Subsonic\transcode

Am I missing something. I cannot find the google+ share feature. Maybe I am just sleep deprived. Can someone set me straight here? Thanks in advance.
