DSub for Android

[ballsnaps]

On the android subsonic "official" tablet app, on the player screen, above the play,skip,etc controls there are three options to check. RC,EQ,and viz. The viz option places a visualization bar (goes with the beat) on the player screen. Sorry if it's a weird request..just thought everyone has seen it

Like I said I'm new to subsonic and likewise the apps. I've seen it on some of the phones...just not on my tablet. Where is the setting at? This is what I see for my tablet. Sorry for my noobness just didn't see an option.

Jeez feel like an idiot..just flipped it to portrait and there was the viz option. Guess it doesn't show up initially in landscape. Guess I'm all good now

[daneren2005]

Yah there is a weird bug where sometimes both it and the EQ show up and sometimes they don't. This also affects Subsonic though and I just haven't gotten around to tracking it down.

Are you able to set it up to display images also like when you use the web browser one you add jpeg to music type.

[daneren2005]

No, DSub is a music/video client.

I have yet to get a video working...
Should the default values work for video transcoding?

What player do you recommend for playing the video?

No. I stated in the update that it doesn't work with the default transcoding
There is a thread here with some different transcodings people had working for them. And I have been using MX Player and it works fine for me. I am working on getting video working without changing transcoding settings using the HLS video option introduced in 4.7, but it is still in the works.

Tried all 3 transcoding commands without luck.

I've used MX Player w/ v7+NEON codec (Nexus 7), as well as BS Player.
Play External Stream is what I am trying, and it just forever loads. 0_o

My Subsonic is running on Windows 7... am I doing something blaringly wrong here?

[daneren2005]

I just double checked it on my Nexus 7 so all else being equal it is probably your version of ffmpeg not working. Although I'm pretty sure that one of those transcodings was also with the default windows 7 ffmpeg so I'm really not sure. Try looking at the server log and see what error us thrown when you try to stream a video.

These are in my log... thousands of these lines:

[2/5/13 10:57:35 PM PST] DEBUG InputStreamReaderThread (c:\subsonic\transcode\ffmpeg) frame=26864 fps= 53 q=32.0 size= 140797kB time=00:14:56.55 bitrate=1286.5kbits/s

I am using the default ffmpeg values. Tried the Nexus 7 / Windows 7 commands in the thread you posted as well, without any luck.

Desperate for help before I head on a road trip this Friday!
I updated my ffmpeg.exe (in transcode directory) to most recent 64-bit Windows version, no change to my problems.

Trying to stream both .mkv & a .mp4 file. No luck on either.

Looks promising!

2 feature requests/suggestions:

1) DLNA Support (similar to airplay on iSub)
2) Manual caching of songs (for airplane, etc. - also on iSub)

Glad to see someone has picked up android development. Keep up the good work.

1) DLNA has API support on iOS which makes it easy to implement. I'm not sure how simple it would be to do on Android but I will take a look into it.
2) I'm currently working on better caching of songs because yes right now it sucks. You basically just need to go in a add everything you want cached to the playlist.

I'm also very interested in this DLNA feature. Did you had a chance to look into it?

That looks like it is working. I'm not entirely sure why it isn't. For me I have to wait about 10-15 seconds before it loads enough to start, but then it does start.

[ar9]

Waited 2 minutes. Nothing.

Interestingly, when I play on my laptop, it will stream to the web viewer just fine. So you're right, it is working, just not with my Nexus 7.
