How to access SSH after EnableSSH is installed?
I have a ReadyNAS Pro Business edition running RAIDiator 4.2.27. I had subsonic 4.7 running (from super-poussin) on it and upgraded to 5.1. I've noticed two problems after that that I'm trying to res...

I would use the putty.exe file from here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
I think you should be O.K. with those, but still best to make sure your backup is up to date before you do this.

Thanks for such a quick reply.
Given your warning, I do want to be cautious. Where would you suggest downloading PuTTY from? Are there multiple version? Any particular one I should download?
Also, any tips you have about the problem I'm trying to solve, I would appreciate. The commands I read (on this forum) for fixing my problem are below (from user gibxxi on topic Subsonic 5.1 Add-on - No transcoding files.:

I managed to fix this (after a quick google search) by SSH'ing into the NAS, and issuing the following commands:
cd /apps/subsonic/transcode
...and...
ln -s "$(which ffmpeg)"
For those people who like to set up custom rules with the lame and flac encoders you'll need to install them with:
apt-get install lame
...and...
apt-get install flac
...to get them installed as the OS doesn't seem to have these encoders installed by default.
Then re-run the second command, substituting "ffmpeg" for the required codec. Finally, go back to the Subsonic UI and setup your transcoding rules as desired.
TIA,
David

Thanks for the tip. Worked wonderfully. Now I can see that ffmpeg is already in the directory where I wanted to ccreate a symbolic link (so that failed). But I can access SSH now. Thank you.

- DealNov 17, 2015TutorNow my problem is that ffmpeg is somehow not transcoding flac files when Subsonic sends a file to ffmpeg. The log of what happens when I attempt to play a flac file is above. I have no idea what's broken. Any help would be appreciated. Running Subsonic 5.1 on a ReadyNAS Pro with about 18TB free of 24TB total, and stock RAM. Note that MP3 file play with no issue (they don't need transcoding). TIA David

I forgot to post the message with the log in it. It is below.
I thought my problem was that ffmpeg was missing from the transcode subdirectory, so I followed the advice above only to find out that ffmpeg is already in the transcode subdirectory. Btw, the full path to it is /webroot/subsonic/transcode - that's different from what I've read on these forum pages in some places. Anyway, the problem.
My problem is when I attempt to play a flac file on my iPad, which needs transcoding, if the file isn't already in the cache, I get a popup error message sayting "Uh oh! We asked for a song, but the server didn't send anything! It's likely that Subsonic's transcoding failed." This error message is what lead me down the path of checking out ffmpeg. But it appears to be present in the right location. And I have not changed any of the configuration parameters on the settings tab within Subsonic. So I'm out of ideas wrt what's wrong. Below is a copy of the subsonic about box when a song fails transcoding. Any help figuring this out would be appreciated.
