Change to higher bitrate? - cclein - 2011-10-15
Any chance of having the ability to go to a higher bitrate than 320? I like something a bit higher to stream movies to. 768 or 1024?
Thanks for a great plugin!

this is how the subsonic api works (the values are fixed in the server). use the setting to use original quality and it won't get transcoded at all.

For me with the latest nightly it isn't working anymore, am I the only one?

can you post a debug log to pastebin please? (you might want to do a search and replace of your password before posting
)i'm running an xbmc build from a few days ago with no problems.

Hi,
I'm also very interested in this plugin. It currently does not work in
my nightly (2011.11.16).

looks like xbmc is unable to play the file you are trying to play (you are in non-transcoding mode).
can you try switching to transcoding mode?
also try downloading the file through a browser and trying to play it directly in xbmc?
is it only some files that don't work?
what version of subsonic are you using?
thanks,

Ok, here goes:
Transcoding: same results (doesn't play the file)
Downloading the file from a browser and playing directly in XBMC: the file plays without problems (also done with SFTP /FTP sources)
All files are affected, as far as I can tell. I tried several formats and sizes.
Subsonic version:
Version 4.5 (build 2384) – August 10, 2011
Server jetty-6.1.x, java 1.6.0_23, Linux
Also I would like to specify that I'm mainly interested in video files, from SD content all the way to 1080p DTS movies.

oh, I assumed it was an old hack that was previously needed in order to run the add-on, as it was written months ago when Eden was still in pre-alpha or whatever state. I honestly didn't read all 13 pages of this thread as that would have taken a very long time...
Anyways, I created the playercorefactory.xml file as per instructions, sure enough many files play, with exception of the big ones. It seems to be related to cache, with regards to the size of the file being played.
When I open a file that is less than 5 GB in size, it opens and plays that file; takes about a minute or so to open though. If the file size is between 2GB and 5GB, then I usually get this message:
Quote:Cache full
Cache filled before reaching required amount for continuous playback
The file plays but it's not possible to skip forward or backward
With file sizes larger than 5 GB, the file doesn't play, which produces the following error log:

Please also note that the sizes in GB are approximate.
The system has 3.5GB of RAM, which never fills up during XBMC usage. XBMC process rarely eats more than 110 MB, so I doubt that this issue is RAM related.

you didn't have to read the entire thread, just the first post, which is always kept up to date with the latest release and any issues
these look like general xbmc issues (certainly the buffering looks like your bandwidth is just not fast enough as xbmc will only cache a small amount and the message you got about cache full means you can not download fast enough to play without buffering)
skipping forwards and backwards is again an xbmc issue that the addon can do nothing about.
as for the 5GB thing, that will either be a subsonic issue or xbmc not being able to play that file. subsonic is really meant to play mp3s not 5GB+ video files

looks like either a network error or you typed in incorrect host/port/user/pass.
try loading the url in the log after 'Subsonic: getting' in a browser on the xbmc machine and see what happens.
(please use pastebin.com or equivalent to post logs in future it makes it much easier to read, keeps thje forum tidy and i can point you to line numbers if needed)
thanks,

EDIT SOLVED: I rebuilded the Subsonic Server and everything seems to work now
Sorry for bothering you!it looks like I forgot to specify the port, but even then I get the following:

I'm using your subsonic-plugin and it runs well inside XBMC but I want to control it with another pc in my house. Is there a (subsonic)interface I can load and if so how exactly?
