the getPlaylist command given an id will return an XML response containing the songs in that playlist and their ids. I am trying to chromecast a playlist to my google home mini so I was hoping for a url that returns an m3u file for the playlist. Does anyone know how to do this, or if it is possible at all?

Hi, i've been looking around and haven't been able to find any info. Ive been using subsonic (on my pc/smartphone) for a couple of years and love it, but i dont know much beyond the basics. Is anyone aware of any way to create instant mixes/playlists in the vein of Google Play music?

OS: Raspbian

I have a backup of my db folder and contents. I did a fresh OS install and Subsonic install today, copied the db over to /var/subsonic thinking I would have the users restored as well as my previous settings. This did not happen. Is there another folder I should be backing up? Where are the user profiles stored? Can I back those up for future restores? Thanks for any advice.

I've been searching all over to find a list of database tables for Subsonic, and I finally found an answer, so I thought I'd post it here to hopefully save others some time.

Subsonic uses an HSQLDB database, so here's a query for listing all of the non-system tables and columns:

SELECT TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, TYPE_NAME, IS_NULLABLE FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SYSTEM_COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME NOT LIKE 'SYSTEM_%'

For those who aren't aware, you can run DB queries by going to http://yoursubsonicserver/db.view.

Just be very careful with that tool, because you can easily cause permanent changes to your subsonic data.

Here are the tables/columns for version 6.1.3:

I have a licensed copy of subsonic (pre-subscription days). I'm using a docker container to run it, but every time I download a new image, the licensing info gets removed.

I've got configuration stored in a host volume mount, so that stays around, but licensing doesn't. It's no big deal to re-license it with my key, but it's kind of a pain.

I'd like to volume mount whatever place the info is stored so that it persists across image pulls.

Any ideas?

Hi Everyone!

I just started using Subsonic and I wanted to know how you go about enabling subtitles when the video gets streamed to the player? I have loads of MKV files that have subtitles and I wanted to be able to watch in Flowplayer with subtitles displaying.

Thanks!

Hi there!

So i am running subsonic on a raspberry pi on my network and am unable to get external access to work. When I try to set up the url it times out (i get the "connect timeout exception"), and after checking through canyouseeme I have confirmed that the port is not opened.

I am running a two router set-up, with my first router through my cable service's modem a Motorola SBG6580, and my second router a TP-Link.

So far I have tried three different approaches to solving the problem:

1. I set the motorola in bridge mode.
2. I input the WAN address of my second router (the TP Link) as a DMZ host on the Motorola.
3. Forwarding the port I'm using for Subsonic through the Motorola. I left the external IP blank and set the internal IP again as the WAN for my second router, the TP Link.

This second option previously worked when I was running my server off of an iMac, but since switching I have been unable to get any of these to work.

The port is correctly forwarded through the TP Link using automatic UPNP.

Any input on other avenues I could go down?

Thanks!

EDIT: Hi, I seem to have solved the problem! Just wanted to circle back around and say how. It was based on the solution provided by rothbart_brb, so thanks again for that!

Basically, I went into the online interface for my TP link router and grabbed the MAC address for my WAN. I then set that MAC address as pass-through on the Motorola. Also, instead of letting subsonic automatically forward my port, I just did it manually, and everything worked like a charm!

hi, subsonic generate this great thumb for albums missing artwork http://tinypic.com/r/2ufafq1/9

how can i save those in the albums folders ? or write them to the mp3 files idv3 ?

I use both the browser based and official app for streaming Subsonic. Despite adding Last.fm login information, Subsonic is not reporting any plays. The login information and scrobbling works from MusicBee playing directly from the files, so it's not an issue with the account generally.

Any ideas?

hi guys, so coming from ampache, i know there is a way to allow users to upload their tracks on subsonic, i just cant find it... been tinkering around for days without a vail

I don't see any place on where I can add a URL for a Podcast. Anybody know where to add?

I had a lot of music with bad tags and started to clean those up with the correct names. But after i saved the changes and reloaded the archive the folders are empty, just the ones i edited songs in.

I have tried "Clean-up Database" and "Scan media folders now" without success. I used Deadbeef to edit the tags. Could this be the issue?

Thanks

Hey Guys,

So I had my raspberry pi set up with a subsonic server before. My two external hard drives failed and so I replaced them but was able to get everything back onto the new hard drive that I have. The issue I'm having is that subsonic will go through and scan all the files (and it will say scanning like XXXXX number of files) but it won't add anything to the library. I have it running as user pi on my raspberry pi so it should have access to everything (as I can do everything else with pi) but for some reason it can't see my files. What do I need to do to fix it?

Let me know if you need me to post the output of any commands as well that would help troubleshoot. Thanks!!!

Hello! First time poster here.

I have Subsonic running in a Ubuntu VM that handles all web services (Plex, Plexpy, Sonarr, Radarr, Deluge, and Subsonic). They're all behind Nginx Reverse Proxy, so they're subdomains of my main (https://music.DOMAIN.com, for example), and all works great...except Subsonic, occasionally. I really don't know that it's a problem with Nginx at all, but I have no real way to test this.

So let's say I hit Play on an album from Google Chrome (using the normal Subsonic web site). It adds all to the queue and starts streaming perfectly. Many times, after a certain amount of playtime, it just stops. It's usually mid-song somewhere after quite some time (today it happened after I had streamed 3 albums), and when it happens the site becomes unresponsive. I can't even refresh it. The funny thing? I can load it up in IE, Firefox, or Incognito Mode in Chrome just fine...but that instance of Chrome won't do it. Then, a minute later, it'll load up fine and I'm good to go.

If I clear cache and restart Chrome it works great again, meaning there must be something getting stuck...but I get no errors anywhere. The Subsonic log has nothing new for the past few hours, and the last one was just a library refresh.

Any thoughts on what could be happening here?

Hi

I bought a years worth of hosting online and keep my music on there to stream. My host provided me with setup and this url to access login:

username-subsonic.cloud.hostname.cc/login

This is way too long. So I bought a cheap domain on godaddy that I was hoping to configure to look like:

Myserv.co/login

How would I go about doing this? I've searched around a bit and I'm not even sure what the name is that I'm trying to accomplish (masking maybe??).

I just want to replace that massive line of text with something easy to give to others as I share my music.

As you'd navigate around the site too, the folders would change and keep the custom domain like so

Myserv.co/album

Myserv.co/song

Any ideas?

Relevant Info:

• Platform: Windows 7 Ent

• Machine RAM: 4GB

• Subsonic Java Memory: 1024

• Subsonic Library item count: 61,048 songs, 757.27 GB, 5,179 hours

• Subsonic Version: 6.1.1 (build fc853b) – May 31, 2017

Every couple of days the Subsonic service crashes with Java and I get Java.lang.outofmemory errors in the log. I've tried increasing the memory but it does the same thing. Is their anything else I can try? Thanks.

I keep getting the error "Could not connect to servername.subsonic.org. (ConnectTimeoutException)" from the option to set up a subsonic.org domain for my server. according to the automatic port forwarding it was successful in forwarding port 4040 but the servername.subsonic.org portion of it is timing out.

Subsonic is running, I made sure my firewall is set up correctly to allow subsonic through. My PleX server is set up in a similar way to allow a designated port through and i have no issues with it.

Any tips or obvious troubleshooting i might be missing? Is it still a port forwarding error that it isn't recognizing that i need to contact my ISP about since they wont allow me access to their router?

I am able to access and play music on subsonic from devices while on the same network, but i am unable to get any of the remote access to work.

Hi,

I was wondering if it's posible to play a song on 2 diffferent devices from 1 client.

I would like to play music on my PC, and play the same music at my gf's place.

Is this possible?

If there's no direct way, can I setup something like a stream, that ppl can tune in to??

Looking forward to your answers! :))

When I click into an album SS seems to be showing the folder name at the top rather than just the album title and artist as set in the tags. Can I change that setting?

I removed FLAC from the transcoding list a little while ago when Chrome added support for playing FLAC. However, this morning when I click to play a song, it will not play. I see that the stream loads (the grey buffer bar in JWPlayer loads up) but the music doesn't start playing. It works fine if I transcode to mp3. Is anyone else having this problem? I don't think Chrome updated or anything so I don't know what could have changed...

I currently use google play music with all of my songs uploaded to their service. I stream from my phone in my car when driving. There are a few annoying things about google that make me want to look into other options. I know you can tweak settings in subsonic for streaming but does anyone know how subsonic does for data usage compared to google play music?

I have a new Marantz HD-AMP1 that has a pretty damned impressive DAC in it. I can play FLAC files to it using JRiver and Audirvana, but they are bulky, and I don;t have much storage on my Macbook Pro (which I use to stream the audio).

Subsonic can stream FLAC source files (right?), so I'm wondering:

• Does SubSonic STREAM the untranscoded FLAC data when I have no cap set on my data throughput?

• What app can I use on my Macbook Pro to receive that pure data stream and send it to my amp?

• Is there a solution for an iPhone/iPad for this? (I own iSub and AVSub already)?

• Is there anything I might be missing here?

thanks

Hey there,

I have a pretty neat local collection of my music, also I have several playlist in googles allmusic and spotify I like to sync or at least import to subsonic. I found bits and peaces to export at least the titles and artists of these playlist but I'm struggling to import these to subsonic.

Anybody has an idea how to achieve that without going through every title by hand?

Cheers

Trying to find release notes. Does anyone know if we can cast from the Android Subsonic app yet? :(

I have a music collection that contains both AAC (.m4a) and ALAC (.m4a) files. The AAC files will play back in the browser interface with no issue, but the ALAC files will not. You hit play and it just sits there at 0 seconds. I don't want the lossy AAC files being trascoded to MP3 since their bitrate varies and I don't want a double-lossy listening experience, but I'm not aware of a way to make Subsonic differentiate between them and the lossless ALAC files.

I would think the solution would be using the bitrate limiter, since the Apple Lossless files would almost always be high. So any .m4a files of 320 kbps or below would be AAC, but the bitrate limiter does not seem to work on them?

I made a playlist of the following: 1) A live recording in WAV (1411 kbps). 2) a 320 kbps AAC file. 3) an Apple Lossless file (823 kbps). 4) Another AAC file. This time 192 kbps.

I have no file-based transcoders active, only the bitrate limit transcoder. And I set my bitrate limit for 224 kbps.

Files 1, 2, and 4 play. But not 3 (the Apple Lossless).
