files on network share

[teaconsult]

I have my music files located on a network share and i was wondering how i would set that up in the settings

I tried

\\10.80.0.2\Elements (I)\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Music

and even tried to map a network drive but that also didnt work.

Z:\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Music

I have over 300 gig of music and videos and i dont want to put it on the server.

I can run it to a local folder and it works but I need it to go to the share for all files.

Did you ever figure this out? I have a similar situation.

[teaconsult]

Sorry No, no one would ever reply to me on this.

I have the same problem. Would like to know a solution if anyone has a clue.

Thanks

Yes, I don't understand why this is not a sticky or at least mentioned somewhere!

I fixed this by changing the user of the Subsonic service in the Services Management.

That wont work for me as i am trying to run it on Ubuntu Server 9.10. The support here is horrible though.

What is the problem? I run Subsonic between 2 Ubuntu servers with no issues. If you want, I can post how my servers are set up. I just forget to check back from time to time here.

Thanks

You can see the thread I created about this here at http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2970

I can quickly explain it here too.

I am running ubuntu 9.10 server in a virtual environment. This server's sole purpose is to run Subsonic. I installed Java and the *.deb found here http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/subs ... ic-3.9.deb. So far so good. I can connect to the web interface fine. The issue I have is that I cannot for the life of me get this to recgonize my samba shares. I know the shares are good as I can connect to them from my windows 7 box (and various other boxes) with no problem. I have tried every possible syntax I can think of, it just doesnt work.

I have tried:

\\IPADDRESS\share\folder
smb:/IPADDRESS/path/to/folder
smb:/user:password@IPADDRESS/path/to/folder

Nothing works, and I am out of ideas. Can you shed some light on this?

Have you tried mounting the drives in /etc/fstab and then adding the mounted path to subsonic?

I have this setup:

Code: Select all

# Mount music
//192.168.0.134/Music /home/username/Music   cifs   auto,credentials=/root/.credentials,uid=1000,umask=000,user   0 0

Then add /home/username/Music to Subsonic.

[ootuoyetahi]

They are mounted in the fstab - I forgot to mention it is part of a software raid 5. Here is the fstab line:

/dev/md0 /glftpd/site/ auto defaults 0 3

[ootuoyetahi]

Oh, the fstab on the box that is running subsonic? I will try that.

So I finally got it to index my music. Now i want to enable SSL. Can anyone help with that?

Good luck! I still haven't got it to work in Tomcat 6.. I get it to open the listening port, but unable to connect. Firewall is even forwarding to the correct port.

I see that. And that kind of goes back to my initial comment of the support is horrible. The documentation is horrible as well. Do i need Tomcat or can I use Apache. I wish there were an official doc i could refer too...

That's not really fair to say the support is horrible - remember this is a *Free* product made by a single person. Of course he cannot answer every single question, and has to rely on users helping users.

As to your problems, how to mount a fileshare is not really what the Subsonic documentation should take care of. Neither is setting up SSL as that includes stuff like SSL keyfiles and getting your key signed by a CA.

That should be taken of in your app server (Tomcat etc) documentation, or if you are running a standalone, maybe in the Jetty documentation.

Have you donated by the way?
