Hi all.

I am running BubbleUPnP server on Windows Server 2012 R2 in core mode via command java command line, running the BubbleUPnPserverlaucher.jar

It works great with all features I want, except audio and video transcoding.

I get the message

Audio Transcoding supported: no (ffmpeg has no libmp3lame support)

Video Transcoding supported: no (ffmpeg has no mp3 encoding support)

So I need an ffmpeg 32-bit which is compiled with libmp3lame? I run the exact same server on windows 8.1 and there is transcoding support with the included ffmpeg.

I was wondering if the error was due to the lame_enc.dll not being a registered dll, but I can't register it with regsvr32.exe

Any idea of how to get this to work?

Are there new plans for a cloud saved playlist shared between devices? Using the media server would mean to have one central device running all the time with the shared playlist.

As DLNA does not seem to be able to delete files physically, I usually create a playlist of all DLNA items, and delete each item from the list after moving to local playlist. Thus I have an overview what was already played (podcasts). I actually see no other solution for listening to large playlists without noting somewhere the last track.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You need ffmpeg.exe in the PATH (or in the install directory) compiled with libmp3lame.

It doesn't matter if it is 32 bit or 64 bit.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Not currently and probably not before Android M, which offer easy cloud data saves for all apps (that asks for it).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes it is silly that the friendly name cannot be changed.

One of the reason Android BubbleUPnP doesn't use the Name/Room is because it also lists the regular UPnP AV renderer, and I find

it less confusing to have them both listed under the same name, just differentiated with the (OpenHome) suffix.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You could try Serviio or Kodi. Although Plex should be fine. If BubbleUPnP displays a wrong thumbnail/cover, it is a problem of the media server sending a bogus link.
[Android Apps and Games] u brain:
I can see your point but, if it used name/room, surely the user would still have the choice to name it OriginalName(OpenHome) if that suited them?

At the moment, there is no choice either way.

mp3 bitrate & local media server

Hi, first off love the program...bought the pro version a few days ago.

A couple of questions about how things work though. I ripped a CD into wav files and took one of those files and converted to mp3 using lame in three different ways, v2, ABR224, and CBR 256. I then loaded them into my external SD card on my galaxy s4 mini and also put them in my foobar2000 media server on a PC I keep running constantly.

When I use them from the media server, they read exactly as I expect them to, the v2 at 196kbps and the CBR and ABR around 224-256kbps.

However whenever I switch over to the local media server, using either the "music" option of directly browse to the files using "filesystem" or "external SD Card", the files show very differently. Both the ABR and v2 show up at 128kbps and the CBR at 224kbps. I cannot figure out why and want to make sure I'm getting the true fidelity of the file. I've turned all trans-coding off everywhere I can find it.

Is it just displaying wrong or is it really playing at 128kbps?

Is there any way to find this out?

Thanks

Hi Bubbleguuum,

The online sources used by Plex for automatically finding cover images and metadata appear to be limited to mainstream Hollywood movies (a description that does not apply to most of my Blu-ray collection). However, I have fixed this by getting all the missing cover images from Amazon and will manually add some metadata in due course. I suspect that Serviio or Kodi may suffer from the same problem but I will check them out to see if they offer any advantages over Plex. Thanks for the suggestions.

BTW, where do I find a link for making further donations to reward you for the great work you do on both programming and user support?

People, please help!

Stupid question - i can't add a home bubble upnp server: when i test the connection prom the phone it gives me standard "the server could be joined but required additional information" error.

i've tried public address like http://mydomain.com:58050

i've tried to type the whole line by hands, tried to change usernames and passwrord

i've tried LAN address like http://192.168.0.6:58050 with phone connected to the same network by wifi

the error logfile from the phone:

[AsyncTask #5 ] INFO - 05:35:17.58 - np : connection test to http://192.168.0.6:58050/res/connectiontest
[AsyncTask #5 ] INFO - 05:35:17.59 - f : I/O exception (com.bubblesoft.b.a.a.ab) caught when processing request: The target server failed to respond

the same story also on :58051 port

the portforwarding is working ok - no deny packets on firewall and i CAN connect to bubbleserver from remote internet PC with foobar2000 just right using the very same credentials and the very same url http://mydomain.com:58050

bubble server 0.9-update9 on windows 8.1 (internal FW turned off completely)

bubbleupnp 2.4.1.1 on android 5

phone LG G3 on latest FW

if i just access this test url http://192.168.0.6:58050/res/connectiontest it give me just empty html page - but it connects... so something wrong with android client, i can't understand! :confused:

oh and everything else concerning upnp and media sharing within LAN is working great, i can play media from my PC by my Phone and push it to DLNA TV no probs...
[Android Apps and Games] MarvinFS:
ok solved the issue! it was some kinda bogus issue - solved by wiping data, uninstalling and reinstalling from market.

sorry!
[Android Apps and Games] Miracle1980:
I tried to use Bubbleupnp with Daphile (Squeezebox based). I can see the whole library and I can play songs.

The only issue is that the songs are not going gapeless if I am playing an album or a playlist.

Sometimes there is an interruption and few times I had to restart the playback manually after a song's end.

Could you please try/verify?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Working gapless requires a renderer supporting gapless. Most renderers do not.

upmpdcli is one one them that supports gapless, so you may want to try running it on Daphile.

problem in Library tab

Hi, great work with this app!

One thing though:

In Library tab, the last entry I browse overlaps with the bar for 'now playing', making almost impossible to open it or access it's quick menu from right:

imagebam.com/image/2c5adf429039343

This happens when the list has 8 or 9 rows and 8 are visible.for longer lists, when scrolling down, the 'now playing' bar automatically disappears.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Known issue, not easy to fix. You can disable the mini player if you wish (in Settings > Library).

multichannel flac (5.1) not correctly handled playing to chromecast

Hello!

I just found out that flac with 5.1 sorround not get correctly handled by bubbleserver:

What i see in the log while playing a 5.1 flac:

[qtp204354148-632] INFO - 01:02:12.586 - k : Content-Type: audio/x-flac

ffmpeg transcoding cmdline contains the "-ac 2" Switch , wich will reduce the 5.1 sound to stereo.

Perhaps this comes from the ffprobe commandline adding "-seekable 0", a option my ffprobe (Version 2.7.2) doesn't seem to know and actually doesn't return any usable data to process for bubbleserver.

(I had to replace all urls by dots since some stupid filter doesen allow to post them)

This happens despite the setting in bubbleupnp Settings->Chromecast->Preserve multichannel audio
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This is fixed in the next BubbleUPnP Server update, not too far off now.

It will honor "Preserve multichannel audio" for audio only (it currently only works for audio tracks in videos).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Could be a router issue. Try rebooting it. Also make sure it is updated to its latest firmware.

In any case, the UPnP device on your Rpi is not receiving SSDP discovery packets emitted by BubbleUPnP, but BubbleUPnP receives the device's alive packet emitted at regular interval (hence why it appears after 5 mins).
[Android Apps and Games] evolution666:
That did the trick. Thank you.

BubbleUPnP & Windows 10

[MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION]

I have recently upgraded to Windows 10. I have a homegroup setup on my home network which allows me to share the music files stored on my PC with phones & tablets etc for streaming.

Since the upgrade when I access the files using BubbleUPnP the music files are all shown in one giant folder rather than being sorted into the sub folders (Artist, Album etc) as it is on my PC. I have also tried this on another UPnP App with the same results.

This problem has only occurred since upgrading to 10. I reverted to 7 to check and everything went back to normal.

Any ideas? Have you seen this before?

Soundbridge renderer not detected in 2.4.1.1

Hi! Great app so far!

I have only used it for a few weeks, and in the latest version (2.4.1.1) my old Roku Soundbridge mx400 isn't detected anymore. It was detected after a while in the previous version. Were there any changes related to this?

Best regards,

Hi. A suggestion. With multiple libraries and renderers available in the app I was wondering if it might be possible to save a few favorite combinations and have them listed on startup. E.G. 1. upnp server to Chromecast. 2. Local media server to local.

Reason I ask is because often I start up the app having forgotten it was last playing to Chromecast and then interrupt what is playing on the TV much to the annoyance of whoever is watching it.

BubbleUPnP server not showing up when connecting remotely

Hi all,

I have a miniDLNA server running on Lubuntu on my little Banana Pi, which is extended by an BubbleUPnP server. I configured the BubbleUPnP server so that it allows remote access and forwarded the regarding ports (58050-58051) to it.

When I am in my local network everything works fine. In the BubbleUPnP app on my android smartphone I manually added my server as a remote server. Then the media server shows up twice: once as local, and once as remote library.

When I test the connection to my media server inside the app from outside my network (tried over 3G), the test is successful. But the server does not show up under the libraries for selecting it as source.

Why not? I thought the connection was tested successful.

I have no idea what I can try next. Does anybody?

Cheers

[Android Apps and Games] Note10.1Dude:
This looks like a great and well-supported app, and I think the solution to something I am trying to do. I have my entire music collection ripped to FLAC (1,000+ CDs). I would like to stick them on a network hard drive (I'm thinking a Seagate Central Personal Cloud 4 TB because I can grab one cheap) and play them back on several devices. The TV should be easy with a Chromecast, but I have a audio-only stereo and need a SPDIF-out renderer (if I understand the terminology correctly) for it. I'm looking at Soundmate WM201 on Amazon for cheap enough. Anybody try this? Am I even going the right way to solve my problem (I don't want to pay for a $500+ audio streaming device). I figure I can control my pusic from phone or tablet with Bubble UPnP this way, am I missing anything?

Subtitle on DLNA connection

Does bubbleupnp support subtitle on DLNA? I am using mipad with cm11, casting to wecast dlna (chinese brand). Video, music, pic work fine. Only no subtitle when playing video. I try puting the srt file on the same forlder, rename it, but no avail. ..or perhaps my streaming dlna device does not support subtitle
[Android Apps and Games] Berend de Boer:
I have a weird issue with playing certain HD mp4 files. Starts playing, then stuttering, and stuttering. When playing from local SD card it's fine.

Bitrate is 6mbps, sent over WIFI. WIFI is fast enough (I'm sitting next to it). Tablet is fast enough too (can play it from SD card). Have looked with WIFI analyzer, and what happens is that the player (MX player) or BubbleUPnP does not buffer appropriately: it retrieves a chunk, then stops retrieving, then retrieves another chunk, then stops retrieving.

What it looks like to me is that there is a problem with the buffering algorithm: it should retrieve data much more frequently, but now it retrieves a chunk, starts playing it, then retrieves another chunk, but that takes simply too long, so we get the stuttering.

Is there anyway I can specify a larger buffer size or more frequent buffering? Would this be a BubbleUPnP or MX Player issue?

PS: file is served by minidlna on FreeBSD.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is an MX Player issue since it does direct http streaming from minidlna. Or a WiFi issue. Make sure your FreeBSD machine is wired to the network.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Subtitles and DLNA is long story. BubbleUPnP supports it but it is not really standardized and requires the media server and renderer to also support it, so it is not ubiquitous. I would'nt expect miracles with an el cheapo renderer.

You can read a lot more about it and what may or may not work in Settings > About/Help > Tips > Video and subtitle.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
it looks like the Soundmate would work fine. There's a review briefly mentionning using BubbleUPnP with it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Not sure why you got this error, but as long as you can connect from outside, you can ignore it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can you send me a log file, connecting to the server from outside ? See first post of this topic for logging instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Maybe it is ffmpeg that fails to transcode this video. Can you try using a newer ffmpeg ? If you run the server on Windows, it is as simple as getting a newer build on Zeranoe and putting ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe into the BubbleUPnP installation directory, replacing the previous ones.

Alternatively, you can PM me a way to get such Hi 444 video.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's an Xposed problem. Report it where you got build 71.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No idea about that but this is definitely due to a change in Windows... Which media server are you accessing ? Windows Media Player ?

Hello,

I wrote a support request several days ago to bubblesoftproducts, but still no answer, so I'm writing it here: Hello, i've bought a BubbleUPnP license app installed it along with v2.4.1.1 main app

and now it loosing license almost every 30-60 mins of working... just in the middle of the process..

can't get it working normally - tried to remove it, to wipe apps data and to reinstall.. doesn't help.

Please assist.

(i'm on latest LG g3 20i firmware (lollypop)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You must explain what "is loosing license" means, because I really cannot guess it. Or said differently, what is your problem after 30-60 min, with a maximum of details (what are you playing to what device on which Android version etc).

Vague messages is the best way to have no answer or help.
[Android Apps and Games] MarvinFS:
Ok, gimme more info what do you want to know? what logs, etc? i'm forced to set all the settings everytime once i've reinstalled it and there are no backup\restore settings functionality.

ok! what i meant by loosing the license:

you get the license app and install it from the maret, then you install the main app.

you set everything up and check if it says the license found

you add some music to the playlist (say 20 tracks)

you listen to it about 30-60 mins (can't get any exact time - i was driving), then you try to add more track and then boom - "you can add only blah blah in trial version"

you check the info section again - and it says no license found, but the license app is still there...

you try to reboot the phone, to reinstall the license app from the market again no luck...

you wipe data for those apps, remove them and start from the step.1 again - after that the license is found again for similar 30-60 mins of music playing

Does it makes any sense to you?

This error means that BubbleUPnP Server failed to call ffprobe on that video to get some infos about it.

If the video plays, this is not fatal.

I solved the problem by editing public hostname and by flagging "Allow to access the server from the Internet" on bubbleupnp server. :)

(but is a little strange becouse the problem was inside my private lan)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Here's the reason what you did worked:

On your NAS, there's ffmpeg but not ffprobe. It is frequent on NAS.

Since BubbleUPnP Server needs ffprobe to analyze videos, if a local ffprobe is not present

it calls ffprobe from a dedicated cloud machine to the same effect. But this only works if "Allow to access the server from the Internet"

is enabled (which is the default) , otherwise the remote ffprobe request is denied.
[Android Apps and Games] Kappa^:
Thank you,

I understand.

Why you do not include ffprobe in bubbleupnp server package for Synology (and other)?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Because it is easiest to call it from a cloud server rather than provide binaries for every possible machine and OS in existence.
