I see I can download a more current version of subsonic from their web site (5.2.1) but that's in a tar format. Synology allows you to manually install .spk files. I tried renaming the .tar file to .spk but I got an "invalid file format error".

Ok I managed to get subsonic accessible via upnp on Kodi, however, when I try to play back a music file by browsing to "Music, Files, Subsonic ...) I get the error:
Play back failed - One or more items failed to play. Check the log file for details.
When I check the log file I see no references to music or to subsonic around the time when I tried to play the mp3.

Question - do I still need to scan the subsonic upnp music folders and add them to the Kodi library in order to be able to play them?

When I try to play music served by subsonic via upnp absolutely nothing happens. Also, when I have "queue next song for playback" (or something to that effect) enabled in Kodi's music settings, Kodi gives me an error stating it doesn't know what song to play next.
Would someone happen to know what might be going on? Thanks...

I've long since given up on this add-on working anymore. I don't have the time (and maybe not the Python skills) to fix it personally. But I found a better solution, I started using the new music capabilities in Plex and added that as a UPNP source, works great, and pulls in all of the artist images.

Sorry, not going to use plex. Terrible program. I'd just do straight kodi before I'd do plex.

You're welcome. Glad it's working again.
I really don't have the commitment or time to maintain my own thread. I've gotten a lots of tips and assistance on various matters from these forums in the past and just wanted to give something back.
