Subsconic 4.7.04 is a disaster on NVX
Been trying to get Subsonic to work on an NVX. NVX originally had 4.2.20 on it. Installed Subsonic but web GUI would not launch. Checked \webroot\subsonic folder and found Java and other folders ...
You can download the latest release from Subsonic.org and simply replace your existing subsonic.jar and subsonic.war files in the webroot folder with those from the latest release. Don't overwrite your settings file though. Also, the service needs to be disabled when you overwrite the files.
I logged into the NAS via explorer using the IP address of the NAS rather than the host-name (to be able to specify alternative credentials) and used the admin login as the credentials. replaced the two files, then restarted the service. Mind you, I've not experienced the crashing recently that many others have, with any of the 4.x.x versions. I did increase the max memory to 1GB though from the default. I have 20,000 songs listed on there and multiple users. SSL is also enabled.
EDIT: You can also do a similar trick to update the version of Java used by Subsonic, but you will need the embedded headless x86 JRE from Oracle which can only be obtained by registering on their site. After putting the new JRE in the Webroot/Subsonic folder where the old one exists, I updated the "path to java" in the add-on config file. Now I'm running Subsonic 4.8 on Java 1.7.0 Update 21.
