i can play mp3 but flac doesnt work. in the setting, i see "Notice: LAME does not appear to be installed.
Click Help button for more information.". i install subsonic using the plg from this thread. are there extra steps needs to be taken? i also install ps3media server, if that matters.

I upgraded the ffmpeg packages to 0.9 which now allows me to play video via subsonic but gives a different error for the flac or m4a transcoding

There's a known issue with the latest Subsonic version not correctly transcoding flac using the default ffmpeg transcoding config.  There are some documented ways around this on the subsonic forums where you use a two phase transcode for flac.

I got it to work by doing the following;

On the transcode page there should already be two transcode entries.  The first one "mp3 audio", I removed the portion "flac" from the "convert from" section, leaving everything else the same and created a new transcode entry;

"Name"

Code: [Select]

mp3 audio2"Convert From"

Code: [Select]

flac"Convert To"

Code: [Select]

mp3"Step 1"

Code: [Select]

ffmpeg -i %s -v 0 -f wav -"Step 2"

Code: [Select]

lame -V 0 --tt %t --ta %a --tl %l -S --resample 44.1 - -
Seemed to work when I tested it with a few flac files.  I think there's some issue with the two step process not working well with the jukebox function(?), but to be honest I don't do much other than use Subsonic via an iPad app and occasional mkv transcode.  I'd be interested to know if it works for more people than just me.

Incidentally, I've worked out all the necesary packages for getting 4.6 Subsonic to play audio and video.  I didn't want to install too much as I also run AirVideo and so wanted to understand what packages were needed rather than install the full mencoder stuff as in my view there's always a danger of package version mismatches when running too many things that use the same binaries/libs.

All the packages I've installed together with a copy of the 4.6 subsonic tar file and also a script I quickly threw together which I use to install are on my dropbox - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/n3txaphjh79svq3/6X9eVBTSzT  I'm not currently using the plugin, instead I just have all the packages in my /boot/packages directory, manually call the script from my "go" file and if I want to stop/start, I do it via command line in the usual way.  eg. /etc/rc.d/rc.subsonic stop|start.  My copy of subsonic runs from cache drive, so after first untar'ing the subsonic file and getting things working, I don't worry about things surviving a reboot other than to reinstall the packages.  I'm sure it could probably be wrapped into ajax's plugin.

i updated all available packages in subsonic plg and configure your 2 step flac transcoding and can confirm flac now works.

I'm also not getting an auto-start.  I ssh in and start manually if I am at a PC - but if I am using my phone I'm stuffed.

Can you send me the outputs of the following:

source /boot/config/plugins/subsonic/subsonic.cfg

if [ $service = "enable" ]; then

by the way, i install subsonic into a different location(if that matters). to cache drive, to be exact.
thanks.

Ok.  I think I know what might be causing this.  Hopefully, I'll have a fix for the reboot issue shortly.  If you guys don't mind, I might PM you guys a specific build to try out later today/tonight...

thx!

Seems like its coming along nicely! Does this have support for conversion of video files as of yet? I use subsonic when away from home in hotels and so on to watch dvds and things through mybsubsonic so its a rather big thing in my usage. Im currently using the other subsonic script released on these forums, however a plugin is a lot cleaner and nicer!

Good work on the project anyhow! I realize obviously the majority or subsonic usage is todo with audio files, so not having video support as of yet is notva major issue, however if you can try to fit it in (if its not already done) if its not too much hassle id apreciate it immemsely amd im sure many others world too.

Still, keep up the great work! Truely a. Great asset to the unraid community

Video is working for me after installing the package that thraxis posted. The link is posted below. Just copy it to your box and run installpkg "package name". After this all of my videos seem to be working. The scrubbing is working as well which is great because it didn't work on my windows box I had subsonic running on before. Thanks for the link Thraxis!

Ah yes, after installing that it seems to be running flawlessly ! (Video & audio)

Bravo! 

A minor thing, but i suppose i should mention it, quite a lot of mods exist for subsonic (adding features, adjusting site layout and so on) is there a way to have the plugin use a different supplied .war file instead of downloading the original from subsonic ? (Possibly an extra option inside the config to point to a .war file on the flash drive)

This is probably a very minor point, it just allows people to add support for things like HTML5 video and such, as well as upgrading the Sharing feature to have a higher share bitrate (Which is what i personally use it for) so the quality isn't awful when sharing something.


Not sure how many other people that have subsonic on their unraid boxes do this though? It could be a minor point, but the mod community on the subsonic boards is pretty thriving.

Was there ever a fix released for the reboot issue?  I'm experiencing the same problem and was hoping there was a fix available...
