Hello again and thanks for your quick reply!

QNAP TS-231 is ARMV7, and trying to install theese three packages (QNAP ARM-x19 package, QNAP ARM-x09 package, QNAP x86 package) always returns error for incompatibility.

However I managed to install the Bubble server Java package, struggling to enable autorun on QNAP start (for those interested, can PM me) but i can't use ffmpeg/ffprobe. I have downloaded this zip from Bubblesite and follow instructions for transcoding but i can't menage to use ffmpeg. QNAP has ffmpeg version prior to v1.

Thank you for this amazing software!

ps sorry for my bad english :/

Help with Loading Large Library

Hello,

I have been using BubbleUPNP for well over a year and purchased a license code almost immediately after trying. I continue to be impressed. Although I am hopeful that in the future the creation and access of playlists can be enhanced (perhaps library and playlist preview on the same screen) and library could have an option for preview of songs in an album when browsing by album, I realize that there is only so much real estate on the phone. Quick selection of an existing playlist could be enhanced. That said, for my dollar, this is the best all-around media player out there. Besides my media server I use audiocast regularly.

I am, however, having an issue with the large library I have on my media server. I have about 8,000 albums with about 45,000 tracks. I have a 2 TB WD external USB 2.0 hard drive where the media is stored.

I usually use a computer connected to my whole home audio system that runs FooBar as a renderer. I originally had this computer also run as the media server and connected the drive there. The computer is an Acer Aspire Revo with Atom processor connected to my switch via ethernet. It runs Windows 10.

I was experiencing long load times for the library via BubbleUPNP on my Note 3 and Galaxy S5. I attempted to use Windows Media Share as a test. I also tried Plex. This did not help tremendously. The "Album" folder or similar would timeout during load for most tests. The "All Tracks" or similar would always timeout.

I decided that I would move the drive to a desktop in my office for use as the server. This is a 3.2 Ghz i7 processor with 8 GB memory. Mostly the same result occurred, although Plex would load for "all tracks" occasionally. I downloaded Twonky and this was much better, but still sub-optimal. Loading the albums list takes 10-20 seconds. "All Tracks" can load in about 45-60 seconds.

Once loaded the first time in a session the list is populated and appears instantaneously. it is only the first time the folder is accessed during session that the wait times are extended. I would be fine if the folders lists would require a manual refresh when new media was added as long as the wait time was reduced.

Is this at all normal? Are there BubbleUPNP settings that can help with the library folder load times for relatively large libraries? Is there a better server that can be used? Is this partially the issue with drive speed?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Browsing folders that contain thousands of tracks or folders is always going to be slow to load due to enormous amount of data (XML) transmitted that has to be processed. In particular, loading all tracks is unrealistic.

The solution is using a media server that split albums lists in subfolders starting by the letter or a group of letters (A, B, C, ... or ABC, DEF, ....), to create subfolders of manageable size. AssetUPnP and MinimServer support alpha grouping.

About reinstalling BubbleUPnP Server on a Synology NAS running DSM 6 Beta failing with a "port already used" error.

I have identified the issue: on uninstall, the DSM package manager doesn't properly shutdown and kill a running BubbleUPnP Server process,

because for some reason it thinks it isn't running while it is (this is the issue I will have to fix). This leaves port 58050 in use.

Until I fix the package itself, the fix is simply to kill via ssh the java BubbleUPnP Server process before attempting a BubbleUPnP Server reinstall, or to reboot the NAS so the process is not running.

Then you will be able to reinstall BubbleUPnP Server. The Syno package manager will still show it as not running (Stopped) but it will in fact run and you can connect to it via http://<nas ip>:58050.
[Android Apps and Games] ktafil:
Wow... completely happy!

- checked process running on the NAS

Login with putty

check process: ps -ef | grep -i bubble ( was running 4x in my case!)​

- uninstalled bubbleupnp

- reboot NAS

- checked process ps -ef | grep -i bubble ( was not running)

- installed bubbleupnp

- logged in http://<nas ip>:58050 (enter name password etc)

Yes... now I can use the open home renderes again on my synology DSM 6 beta

Thanks for the containment!

I'm trying to get audio cast working on my 6p. I have xposed installed with root, I've also created the lib folder and added libnativeutils, giving it correct permissions.

However I noticed I don't have the "audiocast" folder in the app folder. Any ideas what I've missed?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Assuming Settings > Audio Cast indicates no problem, Audio Cast in the top side menu, available as toggle next to the current renderer.
[Android Apps and Games] donchichio:
Sorry I should have mentioned that the settings say Audio Cast is not available.

It's not in the top side menu either

Also the xposed log says it cannot find the file in the /data/data... folder, however it's there with full permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I have an arm64 device since a few days and I'm investigating why the native library is not properly installed to the correct place, on some devices.

I will have a fix/workaround for the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
A fixed BubbleUPnP Server Synology package that works with DSM 6.0 Beta is available on the BubbleUPnP Server web page.

It will show its started/stopped state correctly and uninstall properly.

Album art

Thanks for a great app! I have a Samsung smart tv, and I'm using BubbleUPnP (last version) to cast both from Google music and from my own music files on Dropbox (with DLNA not Chromecast), I'm doing that with a Samsung tablet Tab 4 to that tv. Most are working, but a small but in my opinion important feature is the ability to show album covers (art) for the song and album I'm listen to in the player on the tv. That are not working for the cloud bit, when I'm casting the same locally stored musicfile on my tablet the album art is showing on the tv, but that isn't the case if it is stored on Dropbox or Google music. File name, the name of the song, number and album is showing, but not the album art. Is this a bug or the awaited behaviour?

Feature requests & an issue moving from wifi to mobile

Hey, thanks for a fantastic piece of software! No other controller lets me change the output device and retain the current playlist.

I've got some features I'd like to request:

- Option to add "track number/total tracks" to the Now Playing screen and the drop-down mini player.

- Option to remember the last position of a track when resuming playback for all tracks (not just for 15+ minute long tracks).

- A faster way to access the most commonly used libraries, perhaps bookmarks could be always be available via the 'Select Library' drop-down?

- Option to see all the id3 tag fields (or at least add the Comment & Last Played fields). Even better, allow us to pick which fields are displayed.

- The ability to browse local files by id3 tags (i.e. artist, album, etc). I store my file on my microSD card and can only browse by folder.

- The ability to jump to the artist listing from Now Playing screen.

My only issue is when moving between wifi and mobile. My setup is:

Verizon Samsung Note 4

Latest BubbleUPnP server running on Windows 7

JRiver Media Center 21 as my media server

I can access my media server on both wifi and mobile with no issues. On wifi, my media server is easily discovered via DLNA, on mobile it's through the BubbleUPnP server. When I start a playlist in my house and go out to my car (wifi -> mobile), Bubble loses it's connection to my media server and eventually crashes. Is there a setting I should change to make it seemless?

Thanks for your help!

ChromeCast Audio support (additional)

Will you (and when?) be looking to fully support the ChromeCast Audio wherein the playlist is loaded to the CCA device and when a 2nd BUPnP client connects to that renderer it would retrieve/sync the CCAs playlist and current status allowing for multiple clients to manipulate a unified playlist and the active audio status (play/pause/volume) ?

I would really love to see this since it would allow me to set up an active playlist for my wife or kids who can then use their own phone/tablet to fiddle with the volume or pause the playback. Also means I can play god and pause everyone's noise boxes. I would assume this is going to be necessary for the future sync'd playback feature Google intends on releasing as well.

Thanks, :)
[Android Apps and Games] mrbo:
Hi bubbleguuum, I've got a peculiar problem happening, so I'm wondering if you might have some suggestion. I've been running the bubbleupnpserver for about a year and half without any problems on a CentOS Linux server. That whole time I was on version 0.8.2. This week, I started migrating to a new server running Ubuntu, so I configured your PPA and installed the latest package. The server runs, but I'm seeing a weird problem: When the server first stats up, it correctly sets up port forwarding on my router and the status tab shows the green messages "HTTP: Server is reachable from Internet" and "HTTPS: Server is reachable from Internet." If I then click on any other tab such as "Network and Security" or "Media Servers" and then return back the status tab, it then shows "Check that public hostname is valid and that there is Internet connectivity" for the HTTP port and "HTTPS: Server is reachable from Internet" for the HTTPS port. If I restart the server, they both turn green again, but quickly revert back to HTTP being red and HTTPS still green. It also seems to affect the Android BubbleUPnP app, in that it sometimes fails to read the album art in the Library lists, and sometimes the server simply disappears from library choices. For what it's worth, the router (running DD-WRT) is still showing both ports being forwarded to the server in its UPnP tab, so I'm fairly confident that the problem is not on the router.
[Android Apps and Games] RFrancis:
Well last try at resolving my issue.

Bubbleupnp plays local media on my phone to the chrome cast fine as long as its a native codec and not transcoding is needed. Both with screen on and off.

When transcoding is needed bubbleupnp will play the video fine as long as the screen remains on. Of the screen is turned off the video will stutter.

Bubbleupnp reduces my big core frequency from 2100 to 1700 and little core from 1600 to 1500.

I've tried to get in touch with you before and you mentioned it had to be wifi optimization. However, as you can see native codecs play fine and a variety of other programs work well when screen is off.

This is in regards to 2.5.5 on a Samsung s6

Thank you [MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION]

Not possible to play Google Music gaplessly to fire tv directly.

Well, it's possible but you'll have to use Audio Cast (Settings > Audio Cast) which requires root + Xposed.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=7125384]Mr. Odd[/MENTION]

Although I understand your suggestions and there's nothing wrong with them, I have no plan to add any of these.

In UPnp/DLNA land, BubbleUPnp doesn't read id3 tags directly but rely on the metadata sent by media servers which in turn extract it from file tags.

The amount and quality of that metadata is variable between media servers, from almost inexistent to very complete.

Last played is never transmitted over UPnP

Comment is transmitted by some media servers, notably MinimServer

BubbleUPnP rely on the Android media scanner to scan your local files, and BubbleUPnP uses that database to populate the local music folder tree.

This is different than some local music players such as PowerAMP and GoneMAD, that have their own separate scanner.

If the Android media scanner doesn't scan your additional SD Card, its music will neither appear in BubbleUPnP nor

in any other music player app that rely on it (eg Shuttle).

You can do that in the Playlist tab:

- go into the 3-dot menu of the playing track

- select "Albums by 'artist'"

It will not work with all media servers.

it's not possible to make it seamless ,as a change in network connectivity stops playback and reinitializes a lot of thing in the app.

It would not be impossible but quite difficult to implement and I have no plan for that.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=6029745]alaricljs[/MENTION]

Good question. No plan for now as it would involve a complete rewrite of the Chromecast receiver and all the playback logic in BubbleUPnP.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Difficult to say what happens. You can send me log files if you wish:

- stop the server

- delete both log files BubbleUPnPServer.log.0 and BubbleUPnPServer.log.1 in /root/.bubbleupnpserver

- start the server, trigger the problem

- send me the log file to bubbleguuum@free.fr

There's an issue with album art not loading, but it only happens if you restart BubbleUPnP via the "Restart server..." button in the Status page.

It will be fixed in the next BubbleUPnP Server update. You should not have this issue after a cold start of the server.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Difficult to say what the exact problem is but it could well be Samsung putting the device in low performace WiFi mode (or

a battery saving app if rooted), when the screen is off (to save power), while the app tell it otherwise. Or maybe it throttles the CPU but I don't think so.

A few questions:

- when playing a native video that you report works with screen on and off, is that video stored on your Android device or an external media server ?

- for the problematic transcoding case with screen off, what kind of video is it (audio and video codecs ?)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=4787489]pelmko[/MENTION]

If you do not see thumbnails displayed for tracks listed in BubbleUPnP, it is expected you will not see album art on your TV.

In cloud folders and for performance reasons, album art is only associated to tracks if you are in a folder that

BubbleUPnP has inferred to contain a music album, which is the case if these conditions are met

- item titles starts with a track number. For example:

"1 title 1" (or "1. title 1", or "01 - title 1", etc)

...

n title n

- track numbers are consecutive: 1, 2, ...,n

And album art is assigned to all tracks (thumbnails) if:

- there is a file named Folder.jpg

- or if the first track has embedded album art in tags

If you have a doubt, tell me how the tracks are titled for a folder that you consider is holding an album.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I cannot help you with this. It depends on your TV and without the TV it is impossible to tell.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr. Odd:
Re: moving between wifi and mobile connections:

I hear you, and respect your choice of priorities, but this seems like a fundamental use-case. Would it be possible to at least retain the current playlist and position while reconnecting to the same media server after the change in connectivity?
[Android Apps and Games] RFrancis:
Stored locally.

A variety of codecs, avi and mkv I suppose audio in ac3?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
For that scenario, it is best to always browse and play tracks from the media server managed by BubbleUPnP Server (that is, the [Home] version

or whatever name you gave to it), as these tracks will play both on your LAN and outside.

So when you start playing at home, then go out and your network changes from WiFi to mobile, playback will stop but tracks in the Playlist tab will still be playable, and you can manually resume playback directly.

Album Art Problem

Hi

on my TV album art not showing completely with BubbleUPnP, my TV is Sony KDL-W670A

i try to Throw music option on my Xperia Z3 and TV show the album art , also ''Cast to'' option on Windows 10 works well with my TV

also PS3 Media server show the album art in full resolution

Is there any way to solve this problem ?
[Android Apps and Games] mrbo:
Okay, thanks for the heads up on the album art issue. I've confirmed that is indeed the problem. Regarding the other weirdness, I just sent you the server log. It appears to only be a UI issue, because the port forwards still seem to work even after it says that HTTP is not reachable from the Internet.

Sorry if this has been asked before, there's a lot of thread to read through.

When using Audiocast with pandora, the pandora app thinks that the phone is muted and stops playback after a song or two.

Is it possible to make pandora think that it's not muted while using audiocast even though the sound from it would go to bubble upnp?

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I cannot test it because Pandora is not available in my country.

probably your new router because some routers deny connections on the public ip/hostname when the request comes from the LAN (NAT loopback).

TIDAL cloud to JRiver 20 problem

Hello,

is there a "best settings" guide for playing TIDAL cloud from Android 2.5.5 to a JRiver 20 as a renderer (a common scenario amongst audiophiles I believe), without Bubbleupnp Server as an intermediate? I have tried on both Jriver 20.0.50 & 20.0.131, and the following happens:

1. if I have the "use eventing" unchecked it just stops after the next track, or after the next two tracks if I have "enabled gapless control". So, the cursor in the the Android control just does not move forward

2. If I have the "use eventing" checked then it is mostly unpredictable: it can work well for 3-4 tracks, but after that it may skip a track or repeat the same track before moving forward in the playlist.

Please advise. I am happy to send you any logs if you request me to.

PS. Going through Bubbleupnp Server works flawlessly, but for some reason or the other I would prefer not to install this.

What's this error all about and how do I fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] dhoeglund:
Hi Bubble,

First i would like to say thanks for a cool piece of software. I do however have one small problem.

I am using BubbleUPnP Server to transcode a hls/m3u8 stream to a chromecast device on a different network. The stream contains an aac audio stream that BubbleUPnP then tries to remux into the new stream.

For some reason this functionality seems to have been broken in the recent versions of ffmpeg. I tried to compile an older version of ffmpeg (2.5.9) where the aac remux works without problem, however this older version of ffmpeg has some other problems which leaves is unusable for general usage in my case.

Could something be done within configuration of the UPnP Server, or do you have another suggestion as to how to fix or work around the problem?

I am running the software on FreeBSD 9.3 in a jail using the .jar version of the server software.

Pastebin of logoutput can be found here: http://pastebin.com/Urx3fwQG

I think the following line may be the culprit: "[matroska @ 0x809040020] Error parsing AAC extradata, unable to determine samplerate."

Any tips appreciated.
