Jukebox: Audio Device Unavailable

[jgkatz]

I'm having some trouble getting the jukebox mode to work on my server. Subsonic is currently deployed using the a .war file on Tomcat6 running on Ubuntu 9.04. When I attempt to play a song with a jukebox player, the play control switches to 'stop' as if it is playing, but nothing happens.

subsonic.log (below) seems to indicate that the audio device is unavailable. I have tried stopping any service using the sound card to free it up but no joy.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

As a follow-up, it seems that the jukebox started working after a power cycle, though I'm not sure what changed. Now I have an issue with certain songs not playing (particularly podcasts). Is this an issue with the filename?

This time subsonic.log seems to indicate a Java IO exception "Resetting to an Invalid Mark" (see below).

[comander]

Any updates on this one, cause I'm facing the same issue.

[carbide20]

Same here. I installed mine on Ubuntu 10.04 with the .deb file, but I also tried standalone. Same error is received both times, and ONLY in jukebox mode.

Error in BasicPlayer.play()

[carbide20]

Come on people... Nobody has an answer to this!?!?!?

This post has been around for almost a year. Without jukebox mode working, subsonic is useless to a WHOLE BUNCH of us. I can copy songs to any computer to play them without subsonic. The goal is to have a media server hooked up to my stereo and play songs in jukebox mode. Without that working, I have no use for Subsonic.

Somebody HAS TO know SOMETHING about this... I've tried on multiple Ubuntu systems (yes, Java was fully updated, as per the tutorial) and jukebox mode does not work in any of them.

[Fazel]

Are you still having this problem? I wrote a quick hack for myself that wraps the jukebox service around mplayer(which supports just about codec around). If you want I could clean it up and package it for you to use as well?

[ericwerk]

try installing the sun JDK instead of the openJDK. openJDk has known issues with pulseaudio which is what subsonic relies on to play in jukebox mode

[ccandreva]

There may be no answers here, but the question has been asked and answered in other threads.

First, for ANY question you need to post your server information, including what operating system. Subsonic works on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and all have their own way of deal with sound, so all have their own problems and solutions, For Linux you should include the distribution and version.

For example, I had this problem on Fedora 12 running headless (without a monitor or any graphic mode, just pure text login), because Fedora uses Pulseaudio by default, and Pulseaudio isn't started until a graphical login shell. The solution on Fedora is to remove Pulseaudio.

Obviously, if you are on Windows, this won't help you.

[walkerpett]

I have this exact problem after a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid) and Subsonic 4.0.1 via the .deb installer on the Subsonic website. I have neither Open or Sun JDK installed, just the JRE that came with Ubuntu. I am using a 4.1 gen Macbook. No audio in Jukebox mode.

That error looks like the user subsonic is running as can't access the sound card. I would try running mplayer or some other player to test the sound card as that user (even if it's root).

[walkerpett]

all users appear to have access to the sound card via mplayer. This is not surprising: subsonic has no trouble playing music on a remote machine through a web player. only jukebox mode is not working.

[walkerpett]

Installing sun-java-sdk solved the problem.

As a reminder:

Code: Select all

sudo update-alternatives --config java


Allows you to select which SDK is in use.

[gygys]

If you're using Ubuntu 10.04+, the Sun JDK is hidden away. So you'll need to:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update   # update to know about new repository
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

before you

Code: Select all

sudo update-alternatives --config java

to the Sun installation.

Now I can play certain mp3s in Jukebox (no idea what differentiates them), but transcodes aren't working. (They work through the web player, though.)

Subsonic
4.2 (build 1944) – November 21, 2010
jetty-6.1.x, java 1.6.0_22, Linux (33.9 MB / 47.3 MB)
Ubuntu 10.10, .deb install from website

I was having issues with jukebox (saying "Error in BasicPlayer.play()" when I tried using a jukebox player) on Ubuntu 10.10 (Subsonic 4.4). I installed Sun Java, set it as default and tried using jukebox but it still didn't work. I tried removing the Open Java using the command line and tested jukebox again and it still didn't work. Side note, I tried everything after these changes just in case--restarting the Subsonic service, restarting the computer, etc, but nothing worked.

I left it for a few days and came back to it today and tried it all again but this time I used Synaptic Package Manager to remove Open Java (selecting to totally remove the Open JDK packages that were installed) and when I ran sudo update-alternatives --config java afterward it only listed Sun Java (which I selected, naturally). I tried Jukebox again and it worked this time from both the web interface as well as iSub 3.0 for iPhone.

Hope this helps anyone in my particular situation.
