Madsonic - Mashup Mod (old Support Thread)

[GJ51]

Hello,

First, THANK YOU for your good work with this mod !!!

i only have one question ... Where I can see the SIMILAR ARTISTS feature ??
When a song is played, is it possible to see similar artists ??

MERCI

If you're looking for a similar artists feature, you should look at Music Cabinet - a different Mod program that has some different features you might find attractive.

There is still a bug that has been around a long time that has never been fixed that is way overdue as it affects the Radio function and any random generated playlist that has a duplicate in the playlist.

When any playlist has the same track entered twice in different locations in the list it creates a loop that causes the playback to loop back to the first entered instance, thus truncating the rest of the playlist. I don't know if there's an easy fix for this one, but it's been a part of Subsonic since the beginning.

I love your Mashup Mod, and was using your 4.6 version and tried most builds through the 4.7 beta. All has been great, but I am having two little quirks that are annoying.

First, is streaming FLAC files. This problem happens over LAN or WAN, so it's not a bandwidth issue, but if I click a FLAC file, it won't start playing automatically. I have to skip the track ahead a few seconds, and then it will start playing. Once that track is done and it goes to the next, it doesn't start playing automatically either.

Second, if I sign in and check the box to keep me signed in, and then close my browser and go back into it later that day, I will have to log out and back in before anything will play. Before logging back out and back in, I would click to add a track, but it just wouldn't add.

Neither of these have caused any logs out of the ordinary, and I was hoping that it would end up being fixed in the final build, but it's not. I love your mods, but these bugs are enough that I can't use mashup mod. Thoughts?

Also, I have been using MadSonic too...and it works pretty good. I have also been using DSub, which is another forked Android app, so I am following both. I am hoping to see native video streaming in the app, instead of opening a browser...since Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) officially does NOT support flash, meaning I cannot stream videos from the app. I think a HTML5 player in MadSonic would be awesome, and I'm sure you could easily sell that for a couple bucks. It's a shame that I have to run SubSonic, plex, and TVMobili to have all my content available at all times, and if you could do a HTML5 player in the app...yeah, that would rock.

EDIT: Guess I should add that my SubSonic runs on a Server 2008 R2 VM, with 6 logical cores and 2-4GB of RAM. Resource-wise, I have never had an issue transcoding 1080p DTS MKVs in a browser, so I am sure I have enough power to transcode a FLAC file.

Thanks again MadEvil, great product except for my few quirks.

Getting Flac files to run properly is always a bit of a challenge in any version or variant of Subsonic, especially vbr files that have unexpected settings. I get the best results by setting up a seperate transcode definition for Flac files and using the ffmpeg file extravted from version 4.4 of Subsonic. I've renamed it "Audioffmpeg" so that you can call it only for use with Flac files. I suppose you could also call it Flacffmpeg if you want so that you know what it's doing.

You can download it from my Skydrive if you'd like to try it to see if it helps:

https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=A ... 0A32A0!233

Download and place the file in the transcode subdirectory.
Remove flac from the "mp3 audio" Convert from string
Create a new entry unde Add Transcoding
Flac > mp3 | flac | mp3 | Audioffmpeg -i %s -ab %bk -v 0 -f mp3 -

You'll then be using this version of ffmpeg to handle the flac transcodings. It has worked for me in the past for some difficult files. If you still have problems, I'd suggest doing some searches for "Stozher transcodings" - he had some custom transcodings for flac files that worked for many users.

EDIT: Here's the link to Stozher's thread: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5121

Nice. Fixed my FLAC problems, so far at least. I'm in the process of redoing all of my audio, but the two FLAC albums that I specifically had issues with are working great now. Thanks for that.

Now to find a solution for my second issue.

MERCI

as default if you are online you can use this query to find other similar Artists viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5836
you have 2 options for similar Artists (in right frame or from Top frame)

if you want it to view in the right frame, there are 2 user settings to enable/disable
if you disable this 2 options you get the link in top frame -> Social

I've got 2 Madsonic sites up. One is build 3120 and the similar Artists feature works. the other is build 3130 and the similar artists aren't showing - Show what others are playing and Show chat messages are both checked.

I'm not sure what's going on.

Does anyone know what code I would need to modify to fix this random underscore that shows up?
I can't figure it out!!!


It has got to be something in here:

Code: Select all

function toggleStar(mediaFileId, imageId) {
        if ($(imageId).attr("src").indexOf("<spring:theme code="ratingOnImage"/>") != -1) {
            $(imageId).attr("src", "<spring:theme code="ratingOffImage"/>");
            starService.unstar(mediaFileId);
        }
        else if ($(imageId).attr("src").indexOf("<spring:theme code="ratingOffImage"/>") != -1) {
            $(imageId).attr("src", "<spring:theme code="ratingOnImage"/>");
            starService.star(mediaFileId);
        }
    }



OR

Code: Select all

<a href="#" onclick="toggleStar(${model.dir.id}, '#starImage'); return false;">
        <c:choose>
            <c:when test="${not empty model.dir.starredDate}">
                <img id="starImage" src="<spring:theme code="ratingOnImage"/>" alt="">
            </c:when>
            <c:otherwise>
                <img id="starImage" src="<spring:theme code="ratingOffImage"/>" alt="">
            </c:otherwise>
        </c:choose>
    </a>

Is there a way to turn off the sliders?
I've had two people (out of four) complain about them being too sensitive...it is hard to use even for me and I don't need custom sliders.
Thanks!

I have build 3130.
This feature works for me in firefox, but not in chrome !

Hi Madevil !
Thank you for your incredible work !

Do you think there would be a way to make the login page more secure, and add a feature to register new users (like the sparkyRih mod, but without external sql) ?

Maybe if you use https a crossover call to the similar artist http server is blocked -> look with browser Console (STRG + SHIFT + J)

workarounds:

*) turn off https
*) use chrome switch

Just right-click the Google Chrome icon on your desktop, or inside the Windows Start Menu, choose Properties
and add the switch “–allow-running-insecure-content” to the target box.
Restart Chrome to apply the changes.

i know the problem, but this can be fixed in your mouse control panel - you can take back the sensitivity for scrolling with the wheel.
