Subsonic 5.0.beta2 released

[sindre_mehus]

Again, I see this missing from the buxfix list:

-fixed sorting by alphabetical order

Or

Fixed: reverted to having option to sort by filename

This is a HIGHLY annoying issue that's been plaguing subsonic for years.

My MP3 folders don't sort properly even though all of them should have proper artist metadata.

My videos are all out of whack as well.

It's bad enough that you can't browse for anything. Have to know what you're looking for and use the search. That's a huge pain in the ass when you're just trying to scroll around randomly to figure out what you might want to listen to.

Have you tried to turn off "Settings > General > Sort albums by year"?

And still present bug. Nobody can't download files with unicode names.
It is terrible. This bug is present during SIX(!) years.
If you can't fix this bug maybe you should write about this?
i.e. "If you are using non-english names for files please don't use the subsonic"?

For Sindre. In the file DownloadController.java, where the ZipOutputStream is created in the function downloadFiles, change

Code: Select all

ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(RangeOutputStream.wrap(response.getOutputStream(), range));

to

Code: Select all

ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(RangeOutputStream.wrap(response.getOutputStream(), range), Charset.forName("UTF-8"));

Being able to specify the character set is supported in Java 7+ only. I don't know whether you still plan on supporting Java 6 or not. If not, then this seems to be an easy fix for the issue. All of the other fixes seemed to be switching to a completely different zip library.

Cool, I will try this. From what I could find it seems that most ZIP tools should understand this. For backward compatibility with Java 6 I'll just use the ZipOutputStream(OutputStream) constructor (which will default to UTF-8 on Java 7).

Thanks for the tip!
Sindre

If it defaults to utf-8 then I must have been wrong about it and specifying it probably won't do anything about it

No, please note that the ZipOutputStream currently used is from the org.apache.tools.zip package, not java.util.zip. When changed to the latter it worked properly on my Windows computer. (On my Mac it worked with either implementation).

Oh sweet. Glad it helped then!

Is there a way to cast all songs to the chromecast? Currently only a single song is send to the chromecast.

I understand that the song is probably directly retrieved rom the Subsonic server, but may be the client could send (after the total time of the song), the following request to the chromecast?

rgds,

I have a couple more things it would be nice to add to the final release. There are fairly constant requests to make the playlists, and to a lesser extent genres, sort by name. Here are two separate patches to do both things. Each has two commits because I missed something in the first. Neither are hard to add though. You have non-accidental sort logic for the genres already so I don't know if you actually want it to be that way, but the playlists definitely make no sense to be listed by order added.

Thanks, I'll add the patch for sorting playlists alphabetically. The genres are intentionally sorted by frequency and I think I'll keep it that way.

Cheers
Sindre

This is unfortunate.

This seems to be random, but when it happens, there is a delay between tracks of 50 secs or more.

Yes. I have tried that and can confirm the issue persists. This was one of the first things I tried back with the revision of subsonic that introduced the sorting based on metadata.

If I have time, I'll try a clean install of 5.0 beta2, and change the option prior to the initial scan, but I believe I've already tried that with past revisions.

Has anybody found a way to set a default Kbps for videos? It's defaulting to 200 for me. Simple enough to manually change it since I know what it means, but now my friends and family that aren't tech savvy think that videos look worse suddenly lol

Not sure if there is a better way to do it at the JSP level, but essentially what I did was modified the VideoPlayerController.java file to include the DEFAULT_BIT_RATE as the first element in the array. It works, though not the most elegant solution.

I changed

Code: Select all

    public static final int DEFAULT_BIT_RATE = 2000;
    public static final int[] BIT_RATES = {200, 300, 400, 500, 700, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000, 3000, 5000};


TO

Code: Select all

    public static final int DEFAULT_BIT_RATE = 2000;
    public static final int[] BIT_RATES = {DEFAULT_BIT_RATE, 200, 300, 400, 500, 700, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000, 3000, 5000};

In the release notes I see:
Bugfix: Updated ffmpeg commands to fix some transcoding issues.

I'm wondering if those are the ones listed here:
http://www.subsonic.org/pages/transcoding.jsp

Or if there are new recommended commands. I had customized mine in order to help resolve playback pausing issues and I'd like to try the defaults, as I'm still having trouble with this recent release.

I have a setup, where my Subsonic server is located behind a Reverse Proxy with HTTPS (TLS) only protocol. However the new URLs for the Flash Videolayer now always point to the right Domain and Path, but wrong Protocol (http). While the reverse proxy redirects to HTTPS on the same URL, the Flashplayer does not seem to follow the redirect. I don't know whether the links are now generated in a different way, or whether the Flashplayer behaves is differently, but it was working in the previous version.

Hi,
my xbmc is not able to play any of the music presented by the upnp server (5.0 beta 2). The error I get is a

ERROR: Playlist Player: skipping unplayable item: 0, path [upnp://2b2bc519-4228-d2ba-0000-000054159bb0/167870/]

in the xbmc log and this is the corrosponding subsonic log:

Looks like the Playlist Edit feature is now a bit wonky. None of the boxes are mouse selectable anymore. It all now appears a bit greyed out. The text boxes are able to accept info, however navigation is only possible via Tab key. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Also did this update address the Java 7 incompatibility?

Hi,

I have an issue on the Startpage.
