BlitterStudio/MB_SubSonic

I got a hint that it was working, and then nothing.

I'm running subsonic 6.1.3 on Ubuntu 16.04 and openjdk-8-jre. I'm running MusicBee 3.1.6590 and MB_SubSonic 2.11 on Windows 10. I can connect to SubSonic using Android and iOS clients as well as Jamstash on my Win10 machine.

I have tried connecting using the server's IP as well as the local DNS name and the external DNS name. (I have an internal DNS domain.) I have tried using HTTP and HTTPS using the standard ports: 80, 443, 4040, 4443.

Using incorrect usernames and passwords, I have seen MusicBee errors that have the expected information. Bad password and stuff like that, so it appears that MusicBee does see the server.

I am currently using the hostname of the server (subsonic) and the port of 4443, matching exactly the settings I have in Jamstach.

When I make a change to the subsonic v2.11 settings and click 'apply' I see the words 'Detected a Subsonic server' in the lower left hand corner. I have left it in that state overnight and it remained that way. It will stay like that until I open the preferences tab again. I have about 25,000 songs.

Earlier I did get a hopeful flash of inspiration. I say for the briefest of moments, one of my 'A' artists and ten of their songs. But alas, I have seen nothing since. Any insight you could give would be helpful. Oh yeah, turning off the Win10 firewall does nothing.

One more thing, soon after seeing those 10 songs, I did see a lot of network traffic coming into my Win10 machine. I took a look around, but I can't see any noteworthy files in my AppData folders.

Thanks for the report.
Are you testing this locally, as in your MusicBee installation is in the same LAN as your Subsonic server?

Phrenzy commented

Yes.

Never mind. Thanks anyway.

@Phrenzy
Did you get it resolved?
I couldn't test this yet because my server was offline until very recently, so I was planning to do more this weekend actually...

@Phrenzy
Could you please provide the detailed steps to recreate this?
After you Apply/Save the settings in the Preferences->Plugin page in MusicBee, what did you do specifically?

I followed these steps:

  • Set my server details, use Token Auth (default), fill-in username/password details
  • Clicked on Apply and notice that it found the server in the background (on MusicBee's status line)
  • Clicked on Save and closed the Preferences window.
  • Opened the side tab in MusicBee and selected the Subsonic entry under "Computer" (see screenshot):

  • I could see the status line being updated while the plugin scanned all the collection from the Subsonic server, processing each folder. This took a few seconds for me, for a collection of a few tens of thousands of files (while in my LAN).
  • After that, I could select any folder normally, play back the tracks etc.

Thank you for the help. I got it working. I may have been expecting a more direct indication that MusicBee had seen my songs.
