Subsonic 4.7.beta3 released

[sindre_mehus]

I'm using --context-path in my subsonic args and minisub doesn't work from clicking the link. (it looks like it doesn't honor the --context-path). The link in 'More' goes to hostname/mini/index.html whereas it should honor the context path and go to hostname/subsonic/mini/index.html

Thanks for reporting this, I've fixed it now.

The random play que feature recognizes all of my generes except for "Singer-Songwriter". It will not generate a playlist for this genre. I believe it may have to do with the "-" in the tag. Is there a work-around for this other than retagging all of my songs with this genre to exclude the dash?

I can reproduce
4.7b3 will not create a random playlist with a "-" in the genre (4.6 np)
Hope this gets fixed before X-MAS

Thanks, I've fixed this now

Hello,
Just tried beta 3 today. I have an issue with new artwork.
Whenever I download new artwork for an album, it will not show up on the album page.

While the thumbnail artwork on the artist page will show correctly*, on the album page I get the black square with the grey note jpg. But if I click on it (or click "zoom") the zoomed cover is there.
This happens only when I download missing artwork for an album. If the artwork is already there and I change it, it works fine.
Tried rescanning, logging out and back in, art is still missing from album page.

*in fact it will show correctly only if the current artist has more than one cover art, i.e. only if the thumbnail cover is 100px. If the size of the thumbnail is 200px, nothing will show up even in the artist page.

Whenever I download new artwork for an album, it will not show up on the album page.

Before you click 'back' - if you downloaded artwork through Subsonic - go to your browser's settings, and clear the cache. That's all. Or a little patience, that also works.

Hi,

I use a script based on this command "connexionhttps=$((netstat | grep ESTA)| grep -c https)" to know if someone is connected to my server with subsonic and make it sleep.
Since the update (beta 3), it doesnt work anymore (computer always on). Did you notice any issue with inactive connections.

Thanks,

Bibi

That did the trick, Pieter. Thank you !

I just added comments to a an album. Of course saved the comment. Then I edited the tags. A minor edit, I changed the year. And my carefully crafted text had disappeared! To be sure, I repeated the sequence, and YES the comment disappeared again.

That IS a bug.

PB

I can confirm this - any tag edit removes the album comment

Thanks, I've fixed this now. It was a quite severe bug. Whenever a directory was rescanned due to a tag change or a file system change, the album comment and play statistics were lost.

I have a folder 'Fabric' with 44 sub-folders. All sub-folders have straight tracks, except Fabric 15, which has two sub-folders of its own: CD1 & CD2. In Subsonic (I have 'sort albums by year' off) all albums appear neatly in the expected order, except Fabric 15, which shows up as the first album in the list: Fabric 15, Fabric 1, Fabric 2, Fabric 3.....Fabric 44. Apparently this has to do with the fact that this folder does not have tracks in it, but two sub-folders.

I already mentioned the fact that if a folder has sub-folders, no artwork is shown from those sub-folders, and also (unlike the previous release) no artwork is shown if put in the main folder next to the sub-folders.

It seems that these two phenomena are interconnected.

I'm having a problem in that when I create a new playlist in the play queue (by just clicking on the folders on the left and clicking "Add All" on the top) and then I save the playlist as "All" and then clear the play queue and try to click the "Play" button after clicking on the "All" link under playlists on the left... nothing will happen.

I tried exporting the playlist but it only exports as D:\shares\<path-to-music> which is no use unless I'm actually on the server playing music.. which doesn't make much sense. I was hoping the export would create a playlist that I could just double click on and start playing music remotely (each entry would be a http connection back to the server). I was using an old playlist from 4.6 (that I added everything to the play queue, clicked play and then saved the playlist from winamp) that was working just fine but since I had moved alot of stuff around there were a few errors of not finding the files so I tried to create a new playlist as mentioned on the first paragraph.

I have the player set to "External Player with Playlist", it would normally either auto-start winamp with that playlist or ask me if I want to save/open the playlist and then play fine after that. I haven't been able to get this to work yet... any ideas?

I'm not sure if this is something I can do on my end but when I play files that have no tag data all I get is "stream?player=3&id=1128&suffix=" when I play the file and after I play the file in winamp playlist. During 4.6 I think it just left it as the filename, if not, is it possible to just use the filename when there is no tag data?

For example, I extracted the music/sounds from Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project (yes, I know.. huge nerd ) and they were in .ogg format with no tag data. While browsing subsonic they will just show up as "music - pc1". Also when I first use the playlist in winamp, it will show it as "music - pc1" until I try to play it, then it replaces it with "stream?player=3&id=1128&suffix=". I have noticed that there isn't this huge line of numbers in the entries now, just a much smaller line which is A LOT better, thanks

I recently upgraded from 4.6 to 4.7beta3 and have run into a couple of issues and havent had much time to do a deep dive. But I am running on OpenSuse 11.4x64 (yes I need to upgrade soon) tomcat6 and can supply more details if needed. I will note that I have made a couple of changes from the base code, but not anything that I would believe could cause this. Ive made changes to Logger, added a seperate subsonic.err file where the stack traces are written to Ive been doing this change for quite a few versions. Ive modified AudioScrobbleService to not scrobble certain things, also done this for quite a few versions. The new changes Ive made is to the PodcastService and SettingsService, the changes I made here were to add a new setting to specify a time to do the podcast refresh.

So with that out of the way, heres the problems Im running into.

And if I pull up the error its a long stack trace basically caused by a database lock as seen in the truncated trace below

This error persists whenever I restart the server, so the table is never being updated properly. So the code seems to always be locking itself out of the ability to create the table.

Additionally I get the following error when logged in as admin and trying to navigate to settings->advnaced

As I said I havent had much time to investigate yet, hoping to look deeper tonight but thought I would throw it out to the community to see if anyone else has seen these issues.

Thanks in advance

And if I pull up the error its a long stack trace basically caused by a database lock as seen in the truncated trace below

Delete the .lck file in subsonic\db folder and restart SS.
See if that works

[baaldemon]

Sorry forgot to mention, happens even when I delete the lock file after tomcat has shut down and before I bring it back up. It is just recreating a new lock each time.

[hakko]

I'd check the subsonic-servlet.xml + AdvancedSettingsCommand.java. The error indicates that you have a <bean id="advancedSettingsCommand"><property name="downsampleCommand"> that doesn't have a matching setDownloadSampleCommand(...) method in AdvancedSettingsCommand.java.

[sindre_mehus]

Delete the "work" directory in Tomcat.

Hi there,

I have installed the latest version of Subsonic recently ( 4.7.beta3 (build 3081)) and one of the changes bothers me a lot .
If there is no track number on the tag, album tracks are sorted in alphabetical order.
They used to be sorted by file name as well so if track number tag is missing, album tracks would still be sorted in correct order.
