Subsonic 5.0.beta1 released

[jps2041]

Chromecast feature only tried to work when I had a chromecast add-on installed into my browser .. otherwise the icon wouldn't even show up.
I wasn't able to stream a single video out of my collection onto the chromecast from either a chrome browser or firefox browser. It didn't even try, it just sat at the home screen thing with the subsonic logo.

I'm having transcoding issues playing mpeg-4 files (similar to what others have seen, song hung at 0:00 and if I skip forward it seems to work) ... the -map option did not work, although I may have entered the command wrong?

Seems to have to do with an end of file exception

That seemed to do it. Thanks!

I updated and tried out the chromecast feature but it doesnt seem to cast anything besides the subsonic logo to the screen.

I tried first with video, it cast very briefly the name of what it was trying to cast then the tv went to a screen that just showed the subsonic logo. I tried to press play and there was sound coming out of my laptop speakers, not the tv, and no picture from the video on either screen. I then tried to cast just a music file, once again the subsonic logo was cast but no music was being playing (couldnt even get it to play through my laptop speakers). Nothing in the logs to indicate any issues.

Thank you! The map settings have seemed to restore transcoding for m4a, but in the playlist I am still seeing the string of filetypes:

Could you please post your transcoding settings as well?

Thanks,

Oh - I haven't changed anything since the last release and this started happening only in the 5 beta1! OK - I'll experiment more.

[daneren2005]

It might have been stripping off everything after the first one before.

i also upgraded to the 5.0 Beta and when I try to chromecast I get the Yellow sub on my screen and thats as far as it goes.

here are my settings

I haven't upgraded yet because I currently only have one SS environment and I want to keep it on a stable release for now, but I have a question for those that have upgraded.

Is the alphabetical sorting of sub-folders fixed again? It broke way back.. I want to say in v4.0 or so (maybe earlier)... when things were changed to sort off of the metadata instead of the folder name... it's been brought up a number of times with pretty much every release, but it never seems to get a fix.

I'm not sure where SS is getting the sort order from, but I usually end up with 2 or 3 "chunks" of folders that end up alpha sorted within those chunks... so I'll get 2 or 3 groupings that go A-Z within a folder... it makes it extremely annoying to browse because I'll think I'm missing an artist folder only to do a ctrl-F and find it farther down the page.

I know I've seen others mention it, but it's been awhile.

I really want a true "Sort by folder name" option to come back.

I'm getting some weird errors after the server has been running for a while.

I can connect and use subsonic as normal.

But my log is now filled with:
[12/06/14 12:17:14 CEST] WARN Util Failed to resolve local IP address.
[12/06/14 12:42:33 CEST] INFO AudioScrobblerService Last.fm registration for Song 2 encountered network error. Will try again later. In queue: 2


Restarting the server mitigates the problem for a while.

Version 5.0.beta1 (build 4024) – 24 May 2014
Server jetty-6.1.x, java 1.7.0_07, Mac OS X (172.9 MB / 462.8 MB)

I've also had some trouble with the flash player not downloading complete songs - causing playback to be interrupted. Using another player (subair for instance) works fine.

upgrade from the latest stable was uneventful (Debian 7 headerless) with the usual 'dpkg -i'.
DLNA working fine with my linux desktop and PS3 but i have no access to a windows machine to try it with that.
having the same issue as some others with FLAC files...well not all FLAC files...just a few. the odd thing is that they were all encoded using the same software.
encountered some issues with casting video too. can start to cast it to my TV fine but it doesn't actually play. the subsonic logo appears and then there's a yellow status bar along the bottom which goes across a bit and then stops. then back to the subsonic logo. at this point the playback slider within the subsonic web UI stops at around 10s. the videos all play fine from the usual player from within the browser. the log says it's transcoding something like this

Code: Select all

-async] [1] [-b] [2000k] [-s] [400x300] [-ar] [44100] [-ac] [2] [-v] [0] [-f] [flv] [-vcodec] [libx264] [-preset] [superfast] [-threads] [0] [-]

not a deal breaker for me as i've got various other media servers running on this box that i can cast from.
liking version 5 so far so thanks to all those who are involved.
