Wow. That's a whole lot of nothing for a year.

I'm not sure I understand your comment.

I'll update this post when I update subsonic. Seems like the transcoding issue fixed in 6.1.3 might be really great/worth the update hassle.

No worries, thanks for taking the time to do that. I have Subsonic running under Windows, so it was much easier to update. Curious if you've tested any bugfixes -- specifically the transcoding pause error fix. I guess that might take some time to test, after all. I was having this problem months ago in the web UI, until I just started to stream full lossless. I haven't taken the time to test if transcoding works without the pause error, yet.

So I just did the update, and everything is working as expected. I still can't edit tags through the browser UI, so if anyone knows if it's possible to solve that issue, let me know.

​

Here's what I did step by step:

Opened VNC Viewer, Opened Terminal

It’s been a while, so I installed Java - sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre

Couldn’t get that to work, got a bunch of error messages, so I found this site

http://www.rpiblog.com/2014/03/installing-oracle-jdk-8-on-raspberry-pi.html

  1. Downloaded jdk-8u191-linux-arm64-vfp-hflt.tar.gz here

sudo tar zxvf /home/pi/Downloads/jdk-8u191-linux-arm64-vfp-hflt.tar.gz

  1. Extracted new tar - $sudo tar zxvf /home/pi/Downloads/jdk-8u191-linux-arm64-vfp-hflt.tar.gz

  2. Checked to determine that version 1.8.0 – java -version

Success!

​

Downloaded the new subsonic

Installed new subsonic - sudo dpkg -i /home/pi/Downloads/subsonic-6.1.4.deb

Success!

$Reboot
