Re: Madsonic Newsletter 02/2020

Amazon Music and iTunes killed it

iTunes free with cell subscription and Amazon Prime accounts get free music streaming

Ubiquitous music everywher with nothing to maintain

And bigger libraries than I had collected

Re: Madsonic Relaunch

I was heavily into Subsonic/Madsonic a few years ago, but then Verizon included Apple Music free with my hone plan. It probably costs more to leave a server running all day than it does to subscribe to a music service that has a larger library that gets new music constantly and is maintained for you...

Re: GUIDE how to setup a proper ssl certifikat on Linux/Ubun

Some users have reported that it is helpful in some work environments that use packet inspection filters to block media streaming. Apparently the encryption can render some filtering techniques ineffective.

YMMV

Re: scans/ rescans

Thanks for the feedback. You have an interesting problem. You might check to see if you have "Fast access mode" checked on the Settings/Media Folders screen. If it's checked then supposedly you won't see new files until after the next scan, which, of course, implies that if it's unchecked ...

Re: scans/ rescans

There was a fork that used Postgres db a little over a year ago, but the developer seems to have abandoned the project. Although I prefer the Madsonic fork, some users are pretty happy with the fork called "Music Cabinet." Many claimed the db was faster and more reliable than the db used i...

Can't register or use as Subsonic Premium

Top right under log out icon is telling me to get Subsonic Premium, but it won't accept my registration entry which I know is correct. Are we supposed to be able to use a Subsonic vanity name?

Re: Only playing half of the song then skips

Erratic behaviors like you are seeing have been reported in the past especially in regard to the Android app, but it hasn't been reported recently until your post. It would be helpful if you could post as many details as you can regarding OS, version of Madsonic (Windows, WAR, Linux, etc.). When tes...

Re: Network drive not found

LOL - sounds like quite the project.

Keep in mind that Windows has a 255 character limit on total file definition. When you use long pathnames you get closer to bumping up against that. Glad to see you/r up and running.

Re: Network drive not found

This is a fairly well known issue, but it's not often discussed here. It was well documented in the Subsonic forums and the installation tutorials over there. A Tutorial section and installation instructions for Windows and Linux are in the works and hopefully aren't too far off. The answer is prett...

Re: Folders are missing or dissappear

There are a couple things that could be going on. 1. I'm not sure about Linux, but Windows has a total character length for the complete filename of 255 characters. It doesn't happen often, but if you're structure is too deeply nested you might be bumping into that limit. 2. From what's visible in y...

Re: Cant play any movie on Android

Thanks ME,

I was playing with this a bit and reloaded Flash 11.1 and tried using MX Player.

I've got recorded videos working again, but playback fails trying to send a Live TV feed. Box comes up and just says "Video Problem - Can't play this video"

But we're making progress...

Fast scrolling through library

Is it me? Didn't there used to be a tab that popped up when you started scrolling through the library that made it much easier to go through the library? Is there an option in settings that needs to be changed, or is it just gone? I really liked it when you had the tab pop up and made it easy to go ...
