SubSonic and RaspBerryPI

[Gme]

Streaming over local network and it is working fine. CPU about 6 or 7%. Navigating page is slow but otherwise works.

Now to setup the reverse apache proxy and ssl.

Hi All,

Same experience here, raspberry pi with optimized Wheezy image (from raspberry pi thin client project) will not run subsonic well at all. The cpu maxes out and I haven't been able to actually play anything. I have stopped the xserver, which helps, but not enough. I thought about trying a native Java client (not openjdk, but one from Sun itself), but haven't gotten around to that.

I am now experimenting with ushare on the pi, (standard debian package, see for example, http://linux.die.net/man/1/ushare )which works great, and upnpplay on my android. The client is less nice as the subsonic one, but it does work and ushare is blazing fast.

Best,
D

Hi

I'm not so much into Software/Unix/JVM stuff but this guy managed to set up a JVM for running JDownloader... i think there may be a few good hints in his post.

Did anyone try transcoding? What is the performance? Can you reliably transcode a FLAC file to mp3?

My Raspberry Pi is working great with Subsonic. No problems with mem, cpu use or whatever even on midori really. uploading through ftp and the subsonic uploader, works fine through mobile (iphone and android), and have it streaming locally and externally. Transcoding is missing but it works fine for avi, etc and all my music and video has worked so far. I guess it might be the flac that is missing but it seems to be in the list of transcodes. Really happy with it- streaming doesn't bother it as much as I expected at all. A successful server/streamer for media and is handling multiple users (though it was a bit choppy today and failed with ssh but who knows what that could have been).

Have it under control with ssh and vnc mostly. VNC is great- I can mess with the raspi as I'm walking into town. Jailbroken iphones good with raspi as uploading and networked storage is possible. Android's 'andftp' app combines very well for transfers. I've been using iSub on the iphone, which works really well, and subsonic media streamer on the android. Strangely the iSub works better than Sindre's own...

Just expanded to larger usb (which I had to add to fstab), and have bought another 1tb xhdd so there might be some real changes to media around here...

My RaspBerry Pi should be here in another month so I'll be doing some testing as well.

I wonder how SS will work with the Pi running Android OS and using the SS app?

What image are you using on your raspi?

What image are you using on your raspi?

I'm using the newest Rasbian image (12-07-15). The previous raspberry debian works, but raspbian is much faster and more stable; it's been running non-stop without problem for a couple of weeks now. Streams to multiple machines and phones fine. Only issue is some uploads are missing, but I think that is perhaps due to a more general subsonic bug which other non-pi users have commented upon, or that I'm not very good at/there is a bug with changing permissions on the pi. If its a bug I think it's set up with 'pi' as a user rather than root, and only having some root privileges. I need to get back to that- I think it might be fixable via 'passwd root' command (if anybody else is interested in this/has similar problems....)

[rastapi]

Unfortunately subsonic has stopped working on my pi. For the last couple of weeks it had been happily streaming to multiple phones and computers, locally and externally. But now it has stopped, and the cpu is pretty much maxed out up in the 90 percentiles. Really frustrating- I was about to set subsonic on a raspberry pi for a small record label to stream their media but now am struggling to get my own working. Previously when it was streaming it wouldn't really get past 40% when streaming, and I don't know what has changed. It struggled streaming a couple of tracks when I was out shopping this morning and I come back and its stopped! Any ideas anyone??? Much appreciated.

[rastapi]

In response to myself (as usual...) Subsonic is ragging the cpu, taking it up to 98%. This is an intermittent problem, not sure if its a subsonic bug or something with the pi. The issue emerged a few days ago, then I reinstalled subsonic 4.7.beta3 and the problem went away and I have successfully streamed with the raspberry pi running at 5-30% cpu usage when streaming, mostly at the lower end and not seeming to be bothered by it. I uploaded loads of music last night and it *was* working perfectly. Then this morning I tried fiddling about with the icon files in order to do some theming and on typing sudo service subsonic restart the high cpu issue re-emerges.....just as I had it running well again. I tell myself before I go to bed to not to hack it anymore but can't resist it...

Any ideas on the massive cpu usage?

[rastapi]

Found a fix for high cpu usage rendering the pi and subsonic useless. Simple:


sudo /etc/init.d/ntp stop



sudo date -s "$(date)"


From: http://blog.wpkg.org/2012/07/01/java-le ... -2012-fix/


It's a more general leap second bug associated with the Linux kernel.

I'm so happy this works.

Edit: I've just changed to the most recent raspbian (8-16-12 I think) and the java bug seems better....also seems to be using more memory but still to look into whether this is just a change of the default memory split

Hi!

Sorry for my English (French man inside)

I would like to have some news about your Subsonic on Raspberry Pi:
Is everything going right since you update the date?
Have you been able to use the JukeBox mode on the Raspberry Pi?

I'm gonna try to install Subsonic on the latest Raspian this evening,
but I'm not sure I will be able to access my music from a ReadyNas
throught ethernet...
I will see

Cheers

[rastapi]

The problem with the leap second bug and ntp server continues, but intermittently. It still renders my pi unusable occasionally- it has done for the last couple of days, and how now decided to start working again, after repeatedly stopping ntpd and setting date again. Pretty weird really, because it just seems to fix itself of its own accord, not in any immediate response to the fix (though when I first started using the fix there was immediate response). I think the time it takes subsonic on the pi to settle down also matters- it already canes its capabilities, so takes a lot longer to settle down than you'd expect anyway.

At least its working...

Raspberry Pi Model B now ships with 512MB RAM, should make it quite viable to run Subsonic on the Pi.
