Subsonic Client

[greenday1987]

Not sure what's happened, I assume it's SS's end but it now detects my music in a folder structure it previously didn't which is pretty epic. it seems that it won't group albums that are set as 'Various Artists' as so. Each song is shown as a separate artist with a single album. Even though 'Group by' is 'Artist' and 'Sort by' is 'Album Artist/ Album.' Can anyone confirm this?

subsonic doesnt support the album artist field - if you see Various Artists it would mean that the value of the Artist field

added a .NET4 build - see the first post

Thank you, Sir.
Working just fine.

Hi,

I seem to have the same issue here on windows 7 using either MusicBee 1.4 or 2 on a larger Subsonic library (~28,000 tracks).

After I configured Subsonic, I see the Subsonic directory tree under the computer browser and can expand the tree with no problems.  The tree looks like the following:

+ Subsonic
    + Music
        + artist
        + artist
        ...

If I click on Subsonic or the Music lines, nothing appears in the center panel under Genre's, Artists, albums, etc. Only when I select an artist in the Subsonic tree will anything appear in the center panel and then it is only the selected artists. Once at this level, I can select the tracks and play them with no issue.

I've also tried adding the Subsonic folder to the auto-dj but without success. Everything configures fine and Musicbee reports that auto-dj has started but only the seed track ever appears or plays.

I think I've checked everything but am obviously missing something. Can anyone help me with this?

*Edit*

When I click "Music" from the tree above, the Subsonic server logs a stack trace with the following error:

     WARN RESTController - Error in REST API. org.apache.commons.codec.DecoderException: Odd number of characters.

So, I tried using this plugin but can't get the songs to play. Under "Computer" there's successfully a "Subsonic" submenu with a "Music" folder inside containing all the bands with music inside.
However, when I try to play one of these music numbers it says "The souce file for track x could not be found" where x is the name of the song I last played successfully and NOT the song I actually was trying to play.

I've tried adding Subsonic to "scan on startup" and messed around a bit but nothing seems to work. Anyone got any idea?
Using MusicBee 2.0.4636 beta and the .NET4 version.

Here's an example of a log entry from MusicBee when it happens:
12-09-2012 18:15:02 - 6.1.7601.65536 - 2.0.4636.31608 - url: Subsonic:\Music\Bandname\Band - Songname\filename.mp3

I'm trying to get the plugin setup but am running into an error after entering my server information:

Error: The server committed a protocol violation.
Section=ResponseStatusLine

I'm able to use Subsonic through the web interface fine, so I know all the information is correct. Any advice on getting it working would be much appreciated. I've tried using http and https ports, when using http I get a security failure and https gives the error mentioned above.

Thanks

Thank you for this wonderful plugin.  Everything works for me except for one quirk.  When I attempt to play any FLAC files from the subsonic server I get an unable to play/corrupt file error message.  UNLESS I play a local FLAC file first.  As long as I play a local FLAC file after opening the program I can play them off the server just fine.  All other formats seem to work without any special steps.

I take it the port set in MB is correct (port 80 I would imagine) and if in 'C:\Programs\MusicBee\Plugins\' you right-click 'MB_SubSonic.dll' & 'MB_SubSonic.dll.config'' there's no suggestion that they are blocked?

Any chance you're considering expanding this to support multiple servers?  This would be a nice added feature.

Also, is the source readily available anywhere?  Id like to look at it and see your implementation and possible adapt it to add more features.

Thanks

there is no chance i will look to enhance this plugin but if any developer reading this wants to enhance it then i am happy to provide the code for it. Its done with VB.NET

[ufkal]

I just saw this as a plug in, and I got to say, I am looking forward to it. I just set up my subsonic server last night, and was going to figure out how to add MusicBee as a player. 

The more I explore this, but better and better I absolutely LOVE this music player.  I'm a this close to ditching MediaMonkey and Winamp!

You sir...ROCK!

Here is plugin's wiki page. Please update it if plugin is updated.

[Lemy]

Has the code for this plugin been published already?

[boroda]

No, but you can PM Steven to request source code. I think Steven will send source to your if you have plans to enhance this plugin.
