I use Subsonic in a non-conventional way. I actually use it as a general purpose search engine for my company's files. It works fine and everybody is really happy! My users search for files and download them. Sometimes they upload files, and love the zip functionality.
I can see in the server log however, that Subsonic is not that happy, that it is struggling sometimes with files that ffmpegparser cannot parse, for obvious reasons (ffmpeg can't parse pdf
).The transcode directory is empty, but it still tries to parse these files.
I have talked about this before in the forums that I am now using Subsonic as a general purpose search engine.
What I would like to suggest, is that an extra filetype is supported:
I would like to have an option to add *all* other files to the database as well. Like having a tick-box that said "index all files in selected folder? *.*"
And then it would be good to have a function that it would have ffmpegparser and others *only* touch files that are listed in the music or movie filetypes.
Now I have to add every file extension manually that I want to have available, and I can see that Subsonic isn't very happy about it, and the file-totals in the upper left side on the screen are not 100% correct.
Yet it IS working really well, and I can now upload files larger than 100 megabyte without a problem. Apache+php has problems doing that (even when tuning php.ini)...
