Upgraded to 5.0, many tracks now fail to play

Postby jokah » Fri Oct 03, 2014 3:58 pm

Howdy all. I experienced a similar problem after upgrading to 5.0 beta a while back, but I was too lazy to debug it further and just reverted back to the previous version. I will now stop being a loser and report the problem.

Problem Description: Many tracks do not play. If I click play in the web player on an album with these symptoms, track 0 does not advance past 00:00 and silence ensues. Randomly clicking around my music library, I would guess almost half of tracks fail to play. Possibly files with higher bitrates?

Troubleshooting Steps: Restarted subsonic. Rebooted server. Also tried moving "bad" albums away, rescanning media, moving back, rescanning again. I downgraded to 4.9 and the problem went away.

Playback Application and version: Web Interface. Haven't checked yet, but this also affected playback in the android app last time around.

Subsonic Version: 5.0 (build 4100) – September 21, 2014

Server Version: jetty-6.1.x, java 1.6.0_32, Linux (68.8 MB / 116.9 MB)

Hardware Platform: Ubuntu 12.04.5

Java Memory Limit: not sure?

Problem Filename: Sample of a track that fails to play: "/mediashare/Music/Stanton Moore/Groove Alchemy/01 - Squash Blossom.mp3"

Output from ffmpeg -i:

Is there any further debugging info I can provide? I've been using subsonic for years, I would really hate to have to stop.

If your problems started as soon as you upgraded to 5.0, take a look at viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14748 (TL;DR - update ffmpeg)
