I was not able to use the Subsonic jukebox mode (playing music through the servers audio interface) with only jre7-openjdk-headless installed. Installing jre7-openjdk and restarting the subsonic service fixed the problem. Can anyone check if that behavior is reproducible? I don't know if this is a bug in jre7-openjdk-headless, Subsonic, or my own configuration. To check that audio from my headless is working I tried aplay. It worked. possibly related: http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8534 Using jre7-openjdk pulseaudio is definitely not required. If this is not the right place for this report please forgive me and point me in the right direction.

There have been a couple beta releases in the 4.9 series. This is the latest: http://www.subsonic.org/pages/download2.jsp?target=subsonic-4.9.beta2-standalone.tar.gz

Came here to say that it should be depending on headless java. probably not on openjdk-headless 'java-runtime-headless' so that it will work for those crazies that use oracle jdk ;) It's been 3 months since this was last mentioned. If no-one is currently maintaining it I can take over.

Is this still maintained? I use subsonic as well and already manage the plexmediaserver aur. I can watch this as well if you like.

Today I was migrating my Subsonic server to a fresh ArchLinux box and ran into problems with cover art thumbnails -- no thumbnails would display. After some troubleshooting, I determined that libcups is a dependency for Subsonic. Once I installed libcups everything worked fine and Subsonic stopped throwing errors. Maybe this got missed in the dependencies list because it is a common package. Alternately, I noticed that jre7-openjdk-headless could be used since Subsonic explicitly invokes java with the headless option. ArchLinux does link jre7-openjdk-headless to libcups. Hopefully this saves someone all the time I spent figuring that out. :)

I've made an update with systemd support here http://pastebin.com/76vbff2j

Please update this package with systemd support! See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Subsonic#Systemd_Setup for more info.

kirjoitti, yeah you'd think there'd be a pacnew file … I believe you just have to backup your /var/subsonic/subsonic.sh before updating. At least the stuff stored in db stays intact.
