Did you mind to change another software to convert your audiobooks? If you are looking for an easy and practical program to batch convert audiobooks, you can have a try with AudFree DRM Audio Converter , which also can convert audiobook to m4b losslessly. I'm an audiobooks lover, it's work well for me.

:thumbsup: Cheers

Fixed.. installed older tomcat and java. (tomcat7 and java jre 7)

You can give a try to MusConv tool, transfer your tracks and playlists to Apple Music, Spotify, Google Music and more for free.

nevermind. the above code works fine. i never deleted the cached images. deleted the cache, re-uploaded all the files and it is now adding the watermarks

Madsonic is a great app for streaming media from your NAS to all your devices. To get Madsonic to work on my QNAP TS-112P: * Open the App center on your NAS and install Madsonic * Assign a static IP address for your NAS on your router * Assign port 4040 on your router to the static IP address of your NAS (so-called port-forwarding) * Open your browser and enter the static IP address + port number in the address bar,...

Sadly this is how it seems sub- and madsonic work. They only load 1 cover art per folder. I don't usually even bother with folders as I just keep individual songs I like and so mostly just have them all in a single folder. Trying out *sonic and I think I'm going to have to go through and have mp3tag create directories for each "album" (most of which probably only have 1 or 2 songs). PITA If either of you find a...

you can't use FTP to share a file path. FTP is for downloading files, not streaming. You would need to first mount the FTP location to a point on your linux server by editing your /etc/fstab file, then use the mount location to point Madsonic to your files.

I've also been thinking the same as you but I am not sure... someone can answer? i start getting headaches and i am out of aspirin .

For some reason I thought IS_PUBLIC = 'true' or 'false' handled that. Thanks

Okay, some more information and examples: There are a few minor issues with playlists that have all songs in the same directory. They *usually* play correctly. I found one playlist that plays 1 3 2 4 5 rather than 1 2 3 4 5, but if the songs are all in one directory it's usually okay. However, if the playlist pulls songs from multiple directories on disk, then the first songs are usually out of order. A 24 song playlist...

I rescanned, but still no music.

I also have my music sorted out like this: /var/music/albums/Artist - Album (year) All albums are flat in that folder, so there's no artists at all in Madsonic. It should get the artist meta from id tags instead of folder structure, really. Like MusicCabinet does.

it's back..thanks

Version 5.1 is here:

The solution is here:

I have tested this now on my QNAP TS-453Mini, and it installs and runs without any problem. Remember to install the Java SDK first; QJDK8 1.8.71 which can be found in the App store. However, I found one "problem"; During a reboot, all settings, including users, library scan info, stats and everything is wiped out. It seems this is stored in RAMdisk somewhere and get lost during reboot. I did not have this...

I am on 5.1.5260.20150831.0825 and I have exactly the same problem. Anyone have any advice or ideas?

I did this all by following this site and using google's translate function. (replace locations and folder names of subsonic with madsonic) it has a how-to for deploying the WAR into tomcat but it's all german. This link is dead. If you have a copy of the description (file) - cold you provide a copy from Dropbox or similar?

Put them in subfolders. I have mine sorted by title.

Thanks for the info

I meanwhile found out, that the only method to get Madsonic to show an unparsed or unchanged folder-name instead of the album-tag is to use an empty album-directory without a tagged file during first scan. If you then copy the tagged mp3-files to this album-folder Madsonic leaves its database-entry unchanged.

Bueller? Bueller? Ok. Still looking for info on editing the pages. Now because of the Genres. It appears that the 'genres' drop down search only lists the first genre in an album, not the complete list. So now I'm looking to remove the genres drop down search box on the left frame, as well as make the main frame for 'genres' default to songs instead of albums. Anyone have any suggestions?

No answer to this since 1 year. I also would like to integrate pdf-files in my music folders and a feature of viewing them with a pdf-viewer while pressing play would ne very useful to me. Also very useful would be the feature of individually define settings and suffixes to my music folders instead of defining them globally. Any chance to see these features in the future?

i have the same issue too :| :| :|

I'm also having this issue. More than half my music is tagged in Japanese and it's not really possible for me to re-tag it. I'm using the WAR installation under Tomcat on a QNAP device and really need it to work. Any advice or updates?

Thanks for the info

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 32127 madsonic 20 0 4841652 1.263g 6376 S 257.5 35.3 69:51.79 java I think there's something wrong for it to take so much memory and cpu. What would you say is an acceptable size for MADSONIC_INIT_MEMORY and MADSONIC_MAX_MEMORY? I have 350/1024. This used to be fine for me on the 5.x but it's happening on 6.x for me.

Thank you, DoCC. I'm sure many people are not going to want to read this but I started from scratch again, but I'm glad I did. I couldn't pinpoint the issue, but Completely redeploying the app has worked. I'm glad I went through it again, though, because Madsonic has become a part of my daily life.

Thanks for the anwser. The URLs were corrects : => for streaming Still blank page.. and nothing in the logs :(

Thanks. Well, Plex isnt what i am looking for. I dont like the way plex presents my music-collection. Its terrible to browse. Anyway, Madsonic doent look often in this Forum, hm? Regards Volker

I know this response is 8 months late but I do want to make a confirmed note here that I did get this to work. Here are my steps: First goto Web Services > Web Applications and Enable Web Statio n This will allow -user related httpd configurations. Owncloud requires this to be enabled upon install. Then ssh into the box and cd to: /etc/httpd/conf confirm there is a httpd.conf-user created if you cat, or edit this file...

I think I have found a solution : In your host, edit the nginx conf file of your VM or container : in location / { proxy_redirect http:// $scheme://; And of course, reload nginx config ;)

Good catch!! This was bugging me. Thanks for posting the solution.

Apparently this was happening because I had remnants of an old installation still lurking around that I did not delete completely. It is now fixed and my installation works very well.

What repo did you find ffmpeg on? Everything I've seen online says that you have to compile it from source for the pi. Edit - been having trouble with ffmpeg, I've installed libav-tools instead from apt-get, it's based on ffmpeg but actually has raspberry pi builds. Then symlink avconv to the transcoers folder. In subsonic just replace ffmpeg with avconv under transcoers (where it's based on ffmpeg it seems to use the...

I also would be really happy to know. Too bad I could not find any explanation so far :(

normally this should work, but maybe in your case it will help to put in the top level an empty text file madsonic_dir.tag more infos @

I figured it out. I just thought that since I was an admin I had full control, but it turns out I must have turned off the option to administer podcasts. Once I enabled this option for my user account it showed up. It was a Layer 8 issue.

Updated Java from 1.7 to 1.8 (latest build), and still have the error. I am seeing that the error is in the USER_SETTINGS table. Is there any way to export this table to a text file, clear it out, and then import the text file back into the table?

I managed to solve the problem. I looked at the log files and saw many errors related to database access. I had to rebuild the database - stop the service, delete C:\madsonic\db and restart the service. It rebuilt the database and now it runs fine. The log file shows no errors so far. Apparently the problem was not related to Java but to lack of disk space or something similar, and it incidentally happened just after...

can you specify your problem ? which files, which codecs , which transcoders etc pp ?

no need for this, since the ratings and stuff are linked with artists and tracknames etc. not with the location ... just reassign the location of your media and all be fine this is what i have figured out , no warranty xD

hi there, thank you that you like madsonic and have with it! i will set this on the todo list. best regards Hi! Any progress in this matter?

other transcoder sudo apt-get install ffmpeg xmp lame flac sudo rm /var/madsonic/transcode/ffmpeg sudo rm /var/madsonic/transcode/lame sudo rm /var/madsonic/transcode/xmp sudo rm /var/madsonic/transcode/flac sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ffmpeg /var/madsonic/transcode/ffmpeg sudo ln -s /usr/bin/flac /var/madsonic/transcode/flac sudo ln -s /usr/bin/xmp /var/madsonic/transcode/xmp sudo ln -s /usr/bin/lame...

After adding more music, and using jamstash as my player this problem corrected itself. It would still be nice to know how to fixes these problems as they come up.

Also note that you do NOT want to do the full scan with cleanup...that will also wipe out all the entries in your playlists. If you look at the database structures for playlists, you will note that that it is a large database that simply has a playlist ID with a media identifier, which is assigned to an asset during media scan. I'm guessing once that ID changes in some way, the playlist is then referencing an invalid ID...

Check to make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Flash, if you haven't already. I've been getting prompted to update my Flash for a couple days now on many sites (including this one). Just updated now, and seems to have fixed the issue.

normaly if this happens, you need to restart the madsonic deamon ... this always has helped me in situations like this I've already restarted the machine a few times (thus enabling a script to run MadSonic). I also killed any madsonic processes and reran the Madsonic.sh - No go for me. Then I noticed I only got the error on one computer's Browser - all other browsers work fine. Cleared the cookies. done. Except: MadSonic...

The drives are WD. This occured because I had to hard reboot the PC which likely caused some DB corruption. I now backup madsonic config nightly.
