Hey,
I upgrade to Subsonic 6 but found the plugin was not configured correctly for special characters / UTF-8.
Source folders with them are marked as 'not found' in the Subsonic webinterface. Songs with them would display incorrectly in the web interface and could not be played.
The problem is in this file: /usr/pbi/subsonic-amd64/etc/rc.d/subsonic
export LC_CTYPE=UTF-8 <-- this is not a correct locale so I think it will just use the c locale then. Should be "en_US.UTF-8" or whatever language you prefer
I also added these two but I am not sure if they are necessary:
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
I found some people had the same problem so after spending way to much time on fixing this I just wanted to post this.
If you are reading this as someone who has this problem now you have to also reset your database to fix the broken entries.
The only way I found was to delete the db while keeping the settings so Subsonic will re-scan your media.
So:
1. Open a shell on the jail
2. Stop Subsonic "service subsonic stop"
3. Backup your /var/db/subsonic/db/subsonic.script "cp /var/db/subsonic/db/subsonic.script /"
4. Delete the contents of your /var/db/subsonic/db/ directory "rm /var/db/subsonic/db/*"
5. Restore your subsonic.script file "cp subsonic.script /var/db/subsonic/db/"
6. Start Subsonic "service subsonic start"
7. re-scan your database "Scan media folders now"

I am unsure how I should report this bug as it is part of the plugin and not really a FreeNAS bug.
One could also argue wether this is a bug at all. But I think it qualifies as one since the behavior was different in former Subsonic version and non C characters are very common in music tags.
