Pause of Song Stops Stream

[crisbtreets]

I just installed subsonic 2.9 on a new machine with Tomcat 5.5.20 and jre1.5.0_09. I am seeing a weird and annoying behavior that I don't see on other boxes. I am listening to a song with Winamp through subsonic, I pause the song and try to play it a few seconds latter. The song plays a few second (probably what ever was cached) and the stops. When I look at the log i see this:

[11/28/06 2:41:51 PM EST] INFO StreamController Opening new song E:\My Music\song.mp3
[11/28/06 2:42:19 PM EST] INFO SecurityService Updated user crisbtreets
[11/28/06 2:42:19 PM EST] INFO StreamController Stopping stream crisbtreets@[ip]:32789 (WinampMPEG/5.24)

I paused the song between the first and second line. Why would pausing a song cause an update to my user?

Hi,

Apparently Winamp shuts down the connection when you pause. The "updated user" log is due to the fact that user statistics is updated every time a connection is ended.

I have been using the same install of winamp before and the pause worked fine. The only thing that has changed is my Subsonic install. Do you know if there is a setting to keep the connection alive?

I did a netstat of what was going on and found something interesting. I started up a new stream and saw this.

Log File:
INFO StreamController Starting stream crisbtreets@ip:64374 (WinampMPEG/5.32)

Netstat:
TCP host:8080 ip:64026 ESTABLISHED
TCP host:8080 ip:64028 ESTABLISHED
TCP host:8080 ip:64374 ESTABLISHED

Then when I paused I see this:
Log:
INFO SecurityService Updated user crisbtreets
INFO StreamController Stopping stream crisbtreets@ip:64374 (WinampMPEG/5.32)

Netstat:
TCP host:8080 ip:64026 ESTABLISHED
TCP host:8080 ip:64374 ESTABLISHED
TCP host:8080 ip:64496 ESTABLISHED

As you can see the port for the stream is still ESTABLISHED but one of the other ports has switched.

I then unpause and when I reach the end of the buffer I get this:

Netstat:
TCP host:8080 ip:64026 ESTABLISHED
TCP host:8080 ip:64374 TIME_WAIT
TCP host:8080 ip:64496 ESTABLISHED

Then I restart the stream:
Log:
INFO StreamController Starting stream crisbtreets@ip:65290 (WinampMPEG/5.32)

Netstat:
TCP host:8080 ip:64026 ESTABLISHED
TCP host:8080 ip:64496 ESTABLISHED
TCP host:8080 ip:65290 ESTABLISHED

I'm going to switch back to a previous version of subsonic and see what happens. Could this have anything to do with the version of Tomcat or Java?

[crisbtreets]

I seemed to have found a solution. Don't know which thing fixed it but I updated to the JDK instead of JRE and installed Tomcat without the "Native" option in the installer. Now I can pause for hours and return to the same part of the song, just like old times.

Hm, weird. Well, glad you found out of it - and thanks for sharing!
