External Player Playlists Using Local IP in 5.3

[theast]

Everything else seems to be working just fine, it's just that all the track URLs in the M3U generated by SS uses my local LAN IP instead of my external web IP. Poked around the options to see if there was something new that toggles/changes this behavior, but I haven't come across it yet.

I had to downgrade back to 5.2.1 because external player playlists are my preferred method of using Subsonic. No worries, nothing in 5.3 I was dying to have, but I do like to stay current

I was just wondering if anybody else had experienced this issue after upgrading to 5.3, or if I should start looking into stuff specific to my setup.

Yes, I too have the issue. I have posted about the issue by specifying a little more what my problem was :

I have this issue as well. Nothing really to add since the title spells it out. Just know you are not alone. External playlists worked in 5.3beta2 but not in 5.3. Is there a bug tracker we can add this to?

Happening here too, except it's pulling an IP address assigned to a VM; not really sure how it's pulling that off!

Same for me too: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16205

I installed a standalone version of 5.2.1, leaving everything else the same and it worked. Anyone know if you can simply downgrade the current installation?

[EDIT: never mind the last part, as downgrading worked perfectly; hopefully this is fixed in the next version]

Actually, downgrading didn't work perfectly. Everything seems to be work except for Google Image searching for album artwork.

Just going with the commit log title(I won't pretend to know what is going on with the code) it looks like Sindre knows about the issue and fixed it last week in the source. http://sourceforge.net/p/subsonic/code/4622/

I'm looking forward to when this will get into production.

That isn't the fault of Subsonic, and every pre-6 version has that problem. Google removed the public API for image search that it relied on.

The new version uses Last.fm instead, which is good for many things (but not for my classical collection, where I greatly modify the ID3 from the originals in order to find anything, but nevermind as that's my problem, not Last.fm's).
