Starting play of songs does not work

[Gomez]

I build current main on my Debian 11.6 desktop. App works and i can login and see my albums.

But playing songs does not work, nothing happens when I press play.

Log shows this:

Is there a way to get more debugging?

[dweymouth]

I definitely do need to add more debugging log capabilities. Some more information might help to figure out what's going on here:

• What subsonic server are you using?
• Is your server behind a reverse proxy or are you directly connecting to it via http:
• What is the audio format of the files you're trying to play, and do you have any transcoding set up in your server?

It could possibly be related to #91 . Since you're building from source you could add a log to the beginning of the AppendFile and PlayFile functions here:

log.Printf("Adding playback URL: %s", url)

You'll also need to add the "log" package to the import block at the top of the file.

Then, build and run and try copying one of those URLs manually from the terminal and seeing if mpv can play it directly: mpv <url>

If MPV fails with an "unknown format" error or similar, it is #91 which I've only seen on airsonic(-advanced), and reproduces on other mpv-based Subsonic clients that I tested with.

I also can't play audio using libmpv.1.so from the 0.32.0-3 Debian package, using the binary package of the latest beta release here.

that said, however, if i build the latest git tree in Debian after installing libmpv-dev, audio does play. the latest debian package in Debian is actually libmpv2, so maybe that's the problem here?

fwiw i did that in #130.

i wonder if the problem here might not have been fixed on git head, in #121, because when i tested this outside of the flatpak, it failed with the beta release but worked from the git HEAD...

[Gomez]

Sorry for the delay. I can confirm the problem is fixed in 0.1.0-beta and the flatpak. Thanks @anarcat! And thanks @dweymouth!

Issue can be closed?

[anarcat]

as far as i am concerned, yes! i can't close it but you can :)
