[SOLVED] Subsonic Java ImageIO error

Hi there,

I've installed Subsonic on my ARM Arch device and it's working almost perfectly. The only thing missing is album art.
There is a lot about this on Google but mostly from 2010 or 2011 and those articles/posts didn't help. I found some stuff about the Java error specifically on StackOverflow but Java is not my cup of tea (no pun intended).

Subsonic throws this error:

[3/12/14 10:58:13 AM CET]	WARN	CoverArtController	Failed to process cover art /mnt/media/Music/Aaliyah/Aaliyah [2001]/folder.jpg: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class javax.imageio.ImageIO

I have installed Subsonic 4.9 (build 3819) using Yaourt.
My platform:

Linux alarm 3.0.35-9 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Feb 8 14:28:14 MST 2014 armv7l GNU/Linux

Both dependancies stated at the AUR page are installed:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/subsonic/
(jre7-openjdk-headless and libcups)

[root@alarm /]# java -version
java version "1.7.0_51"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.4.5) (ArchLinux build 7.u51_2.4.5-1-armv7h)
OpenJDK Zero VM (build 24.51-b03, interpreted mode)

These are the paths, I don't see the Java in my $PATH:

[root@alarm /]# echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/jre
[root@alarm /]# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/core_perl

I've done a reboot of my machine and I run Subsonic as root. I think it must be a path or dependency issue or maybe the Java version...

Cheerio,

Thijs

Re: [SOLVED] Subsonic Java ImageIO error

The solution for me was:

1. Go to Settings/Media Folders - uncheck all folders and save
2. Scan Media Folders
3. Clean-up Database
4. Recheck all folders and save
5. Scan Library - wait a really long time while the database is rebuilt
