Stuck at Retrieving when browsing all artists

[mkosel]

I currently have a Roku 2 that is connected to my home network via a wired ethernet connection. I am running Windows Server 2012 R2, plex Media server and Madsonic Server 5.1 (via non-SSL). I have installed and configured the this subsonic-app on my Roku. the connection works as expected

The problem I am having I that I can't play music from Roku when I browse all artists. when I select browse, I get the expected list of artists that I can choose from... however when I click on an artist name, the roku change goes to "retrieving" and never starts playing the music.

The strange thing is if I go to a random album that is listed on the home-screen , it plays fine. I can also play music if I use the web interface from another, computer. any thoughts?

[maihde]

So I guess I have a couple of questions.

1) After finding a random album that plays correctly; if you select it via the "Browse" option does it play correctly?

2) If you take an album that doesn't play correctly; and then select it from the home screen (i.e. under Recently Played) does it play correctly now?

3) If you find these same albums using the Search feature do they play correctly?

4) Is your music organized Artist->Album->Songs?

I've never run the software against Madsonic nor do I have a Roku 2...so it will be difficult for me to debug.

If you are somewhat technically inclined, you can download the source-code to my app and load it onto your Roku 2 in developer mode. This will let you add additional diagnostics that could help us figure out what is occurring.

I really appreciate you taking the time to email me. With your questions, I think I figured out the problem.... let me answer your questions first

1) After finding a random album that plays correctly; if you select it via the "Browse" option does it play correctly? No, it does not

2) If you take an album that doesn't play correctly; and then select it from the home screen (i.e. under Recently Played) does it play correctly now? yes it does

3) If you find these same albums using the Search feature do they play correctly? yes it does

4) Is your music organized Artist->Album->Songs? No, it is not and I think that is the problem.... I have my music organized as Artist (as folder)--> filename (disk# Track#-Album-SongTitle.mp3). when I setup one folder in the Artist->Album->Song format it works correctly.

The reason I did it this way is because I have so many single tracks, it is really a pain to go into a folder just to play 1 song and then have to select another folder to play one more song..... everything is tagged correctly via musicbrainz picard, so I've always sorted based on the tags.

Is there anyways to use this without the Artist->Album->Songs directory format?

So the "Browse" functions currently won't work correctly without Artist->Album->Song layout; I'll try to fix that soon (hopefully this week) so that it works for you. I'll let you know when something is ready for you to test.

Yes, that donation link goes to me.

I've made a release candidate that works in my limited amount of testing. You can install it from here:

https://owner.roku.com/add/RHNBT

You might need to go into the "Channel Store" to get it to perform the update immediately (otherwise it can take a small delay). After you do this, you should have two versions of the app on your Roku. The 1.8 version has support for Artist->Song layout.

Let me know how it works.

I appologize for not email back sooner..... I did install the new subsnic app but it didn't work.... I haven't had time to trouble shoot yet. The updates app deosn't work at all.... when I clikc on the icon from the roku channel list, it says loading and nothing else happens.

It is possible I may be having problems with the fact that I have the old and new version of the app installed... i'm hoping to est this this week

thanks again for your work in getting this out

No worries, I just wanted to make sure that the email got to you.

On my Roku 2 all I had to do was click the new link and open the channel store (and then close it without doing anything). I ended up with two copies of the Subsonic app on my channel screen.

If for some reason it is still giving you troubles, I can publish the new updated version. This will upgrade all Roku-Subsonic installations.

I really appreciate you taking the time to email me. With your questions, I think I figured out the problem.... let me answer your questions first

1) After finding a random album that plays correctly; if you select it via the "Browse" option does it play correctly? No, it does not

2) If you take an album that doesn't play correctly; and then select it from the home screen (i.e. under Recently Played) does it play correctly now? yes it does

3) If you find these same albums using the Search feature do they play correctly? yes it does

4) Is your music organized Artist->Album->Songs? No, it is not and I think that is the problem.... I have my music organized as Artist (as folder)--> filename (disk# Track#-Album-SongTitle.mp3). when I setup one folder in the Artist->Album->Song format it works correctly.

The reason I did it this way is because I have so many single tracks, it is really a pain to go into a folder just to play 1 song and then have to select another folder to play one more song..... everything is tagged correctly via musicbrainz picard, so I've always sorted based on the tags.

Is there anyways to use this without the Artist->Album->Songs directory format?

I've never run the software against Madsonic nor do I have a Roku 2...so it will be difficult for me to debug.

If you are somewhat technically inclined, you can download the source-code to my app and load it onto your Roku 2 in developer mode. This will let you add additional diagnostics that could help us figure out what is occurring.

The problem I am having I that I can't play music from Roku when I browse all artists. when I select browse, I get the expected list of artists that I can choose from... however when I click on an artist name, the roku change goes to "retrieving" and never starts playing the music.

The strange thing is if I go to a random album that is listed on the home-screen , it plays fine. I can also play music if I use the web interface from another, computer. any thoughts?

Try deleting all of the Subsonic applications and then installing from this link:

That's great that everything is working! The donation is much appreciated.

I've just officially published the 1.8 version soon. The way Roku handles this is the version you are currently running will now be available as the default version. It will also automatically upgrade all players that currently have the 1.7 version installed.

Because you are running an unpublished version (which I greatly appreciate since it helped with the testing), I'm not sure what will happen on your Roku, it may uninstall automatically or it may just leave it as is. Unfortunately I cannot control what how Roku handles this. The safe bet is to re-install from the primary link.

Thanks again!

So the "Browse" functions currently won't work correctly without Artist->Album->Song layout; I'll try to fix that soon (hopefully this week) so that it works for you. I'll let you know when something is ready for you to test.

I really appreciate you taking the time to email me. With your questions, I think I figured out the problem.... let me answer your questions first

1) After finding a random album that plays correctly; if you select it via the "Browse" option does it play correctly? No, it does not

2) If you take an album that doesn't play correctly; and then select it from the home screen (i.e. under Recently Played) does it play correctly now? yes it does

3) If you find these same albums using the Search feature do they play correctly? yes it does

4) Is your music organized Artist->Album->Songs? No, it is not and I think that is the problem.... I have my music organized as Artist (as folder)--> filename (disk# Track#-Album-SongTitle.mp3). when I setup one folder in the Artist->Album->Song format it works correctly.

The reason I did it this way is because I have so many single tracks, it is really a pain to go into a folder just to play 1 song and then have to select another folder to play one more song..... everything is tagged correctly via musicbrainz picard, so I've always sorted based on the tags.

Is there anyways to use this without the Artist->Album->Songs directory format?

I've never run the software against Madsonic nor do I have a Roku 2...so it will be difficult for me to debug.

If you are somewhat technically inclined, you can download the source-code to my app and load it onto your Roku 2 in developer mode. This will let you add additional diagnostics that could help us figure out what is occurring.

I currently have a Roku 2 that is connected to my home network via a wired ethernet connection. I am running Windows Server 2012 R2, plex Media server and Madsonic Server 5.1 (via non-SSL). I have installed and configured the this subsonic-app on my Roku. the connection works as expected

The problem I am having I that I can't play music from Roku when I browse all artists. when I select browse, I get the expected list of artists that I can choose from... however when I click on an artist name, the roku change goes to "retrieving" and never starts playing the music.

The strange thing is if I go to a random album that is listed on the home-screen , it plays fine. I can also play music if I use the web interface from another, computer. any thoughts?
