Unable to seek when transcoding enabled

Logs:

Upload description: m-spitfire

Reproduction steps:

Subsonic server: gonic 0.19
When transcoding enabled on the server side, Symfonium isn’t able to seek ahead in the song. I know that this requires a specific opensubsonic extension on the server, and I have checked that gonic has that extension.
Additionally, seeking works fine in another client, Supersonic, with transcoding enabled, so I think this is a Symfonium issue.

Media provider:

Subsonic

Screenshots:

You are forcing transcoding server side, Symfonium can’t know and so can’t use the extension.

How can I let symfonium know that I’m forcing transcoding on the server side? Sorry, I couldn’t find any setting that do this

You can’t that’s the whole problem, you are supposed to control the transcoding client side. (Specially with Gonic)

There’s a WIP to improve Subsonic transcoding Add new transcoding extension by Tolriq · Pull Request #168 · opensubsonic/open-subsonic-api · GitHub but I’m not sure Sentriz will implement it anyway when it’s finished.

I see.. I feel like the client control of transcoding doesn’t really work well with gonic, at least “trying” with a few clients, but never really looked into it why it wouldn’t work (the songs would just skip and not play when there was no transcoding profile was set on the server).

I’ll look more into it. Thanks for the quick replies!

Well yes you need to create profiles and not apply them and a couple of other decision Sentriz made that are very specific to Gonic.

There’s a couple of threads here with Gonic and transcoding :slight_smile:
