v1.3 Random Music issue

[snowflake7]

When using the media player thru IE9 or Chrome on a Win7 x64 client the random music selection opens up the player and plays for 1 to 2 seconds and then closes. Playing individual songs, imported playlists, random albums all work fine. The track that was selected to play from the randomized list in this instance was "07 Wildflower.mp3" though the same results were obtained with 10 or so other tracks.

I have attached a log file that I hope is useful.

Note that thru serviigo there are no issues. Perhaps a flashplayer issue?

Should change this to Media Browser issues for audio within a large repository of music files. I have done lots of testing on playlists and random music thru the web based browser. ( I use this to provide bacground music throughout my home and at work.) With detailed logging turned on overnight the log file was about 700k. When I fired up the browser it's hit or miss on whether the "random music" feature will even start. Consistently opens the track and immediately shuts down the player after 1-2 seconds. Custom .wpl playlists play several tracks and then the web based player freezes. Debug log indicates an authorization error (401). While all this fiddling the debug log grew to 50mb. Most of the entries are fetching media data for the entire music library some 7,000 tracks. I had disabled auto updating and searching for updates just to be sure that the log activity was only reporting user activity. I know that v1.3 is making use of new search logic but it appears that something is crippling the flash interface when the play list (total random music or custom playlists) references a large repository. I even uninstalled flash player reinstalled it. Did the same with Chrome because of the embedded flash. No difference

All of my android devices work just fine using serviigo so it has to be an issue with how the web based media browser is interacting with the serviio server.

I realize hand held technology is hot, but a media server this powerful should at least have an appropriately functional web based media player.

I will continue to serve up video with serviio, but for the time being I have reverted to WHS2011 for my musical enjoyment. Antiquated and no longer supported, but it works!

Works for me. Try to clean your browser cache.

I have had a little more time and decided to make another attempt. Completely fresh install of 1.3.1. Attempting to use the random music feature I get a browser error in the web page. The errors from IE9 IE10 and the latest Chrome all reference the same line. The error references "Unable to get property type 'fileType' of undefined or null reference". After selecting a track to begin playback Flow Player opens and then immediately closes with the referenced error posted.

I have attached a developer tools snapshot of the error generated in IE10. Again the same reference is generated in IE9 and Chrome.

Any Thoughts?

Thanks, I will have a look.

I have the same issue when using the Serviio Pro v1.3.1 media browser app with Chrome v28.0. Whenever I play a "Random Music" track, it stops playing after about 1 second. I have attached the view of Chrome's JavaScript console just after the track stops playing.

The bug only affects the Serviio media browser app - Random Music plays OK on my hardware internet radio (Tangent Quattro). Let me know if you want me to provide any other information to help you debug the issue.

Best regards
Tony.

Any progress on this issue? My Random Music plays one song then reverts back to the file list. Sony BDP 570.

That is a known issue with the Sony players, not easily fixable.
