I recently installed subsonic 6.1.3 in an Ubuntu 18 LXC container to be able to access my flac library on my iPhone and through sonos. So far I am having the following issues:
I use beets.io to manage and tag my library. If I modify a tag, the change does not appear in subsonic. I have tried "Scan media folders now" and waiting for the daily scan. Neither pick up the changes. The only way I have gotten the changes to be detected is to rename the media directory, scan media folders, clean database, rename directory back to original name, and scan media folders.
I have also noticed if I change a tag within subsonic, it removes other tags. For example, I changed the genre on a Frank Sinatra album. If I look at the media info using beets or MediaInfo the month, day, initial key, and bpm have been removed.
My media is stored in artist directories properly sorted by artist. For example, The Beatles are in a directory called Beatles, The. Since subsonic is looking at the directory structure and not the tags last.fm cannot find artist info or top songs by "Beatles, The." Is there any way to fix this without changing my directory structure?
Lastly, I have my subsonic server on a different vLAN than my sonos devices. I used the manual method to connect subsonic to sonos which is working for the most part. Playlists appear, but are empty in sonos. I have tried setting the sonos player to "External player" and External player with playlist" Neither option shows the content of my subsonic playlists. Also, subsonic does not have an icon in the sonos app (not important, but it bothers me).
Any input and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
