Hello,

I just upgraded over the previous version on Windows 10 and I get "folder not found" on all my media folders (network or local). Am I missing something?

Thanks for your time.

Does the user (and admin even) have the necessary permissions to access folders?

What is the purpose of the "DEBUG AbstractDao" process when the new version of subsonic starts?

The problem is even before that step. It's not seen in the media folder settings, therefor I cannot give folder access to users.

Go into your Windows services and make sure your subsonic service is logging in as admin

Everything is crazy sluggish since update. Like 10-30 second lag after clicking anything.
A reboot did not help.
And previously rock solid Sonos connection has been flaky: tough time connecting and maintaining connection.

Where does one see artist bios and most played tracks? Haven't stumbled upon that yet.

**EDIT**

I log onto the demo server and see the artist info, radio and most played tracks now.

I am running:

5.3.beta1 (build 4540) – August 14, 2015
Server jetty-6.1.x, java 1.8.0_25, Windows 7 (106.7 MB / 145.0 MB)

Yet I don't get that info on any of my artists?

iam getting an error when i try to set a custom hostname:

keep it up
noise cancelation and sound normalization can be a cool addition

[Gapless playback and ditching flash would be nice too!]


Anyway, here's a Pastebin of my log file- still not sure why artist info is not showing up. Maybe there's something in there that explains it.

wow, this beta was definitely not ready for prime time. Brutal.

[alphawave7]

Whereas my upgrade was uneventful. I like the new menu option more than I'd imagined.

Can you please check if any process on your computer is using a lot of cpu?

It logs all database queries that take more than two seconds (to identify performance problems). This logging is only enabled in beta versions.

Hello

Thanks for the beta

At last no single song plays at half speed

But strangly in jukebox mode every song is upsampled to 192/32 ... Strange for mp3
