Anamorphic videos on Nexus Player

When casing anamorphic videos from my Nas to Nexus Player the videos are displayed in 4:3 format instead of 16:9. When doing the same thing with a ChromeCast they are displayed correctly. The videos are mp4 encoded with Handbrake (anmorphic setting loose).

I'm assuming this is a bug in the Cast Receiver app, and not BubbleUPnP, but can you check it out?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Depends on what you will be transcoding. For audio only (including just audio in video), very little CPU is required and a

Raspberry Pi can do it. For transcoding videos it depends. Transcoding 1080p videos requires a lot of CPU and most NAS

are not powerful enough but most PCs at least Core i5 are.

problems with google music

Since the update (2.3.7.0 and 2.3.7.1) i don't get any playlists from my google music account. Please fix this. Songs are fine.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That one is not related to the app update, but to the Play Music web site being recently updated, which broke playlist retrieval.

I will look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I can't reproduce it with any of my test videos.

In any case, this is a Nexus Player bug or more exactly a bug in the Chrome version used on the Nexus (which plays video) which is not

the same than on a Chromecast. I suggest you report this issue on the Google Cast issue tracker, with a small sample showing the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] nordic-style:
Great ! :) Awaiting the update ;)

Cover art not shown since last update

Since the latest update to 2.3.7.1 BubbleUPnP doesn't show the album covers anymore (which it did perfectly before) and I didn't figure out how to get it working again.

On my laptop I still get the covers with another program, and as I didn't change anything with the server I suppose it's a bug/regression in BubbleUPnP.

Albeit, really great app with nice design. Worth the full licence. Are you planning to implement multiroom streaming? Me and some other people are missing that feature.

How do I set bubble server to transcode audio??

I've set everything up. I have bubble server (of course). Bubble client setup to connect. All transcode settings set, but flac remains flac and downloads are still flac as well.

What to do?

Hi Bubbleguuum,

is it possible to add Volume-Buttons and maybe a Mute-Button to the Lockscreen? Thats the only thing I miss in BubbleUPnP :)

Chromecast subs

Hi

I have a problem with subtitles and Chromecast.

Running bubbleupnp server on synology Ds412+ but CPU reach 100% at transcoding mkv 1080p material, so local transcoding on Android mobile seems to work better.

No problems at local Lan connection, but outside Lan through Internet, I can't get subtitles shown at chromecast .

Using serviio to reach movie, and bubbleupnp to connect chromecast = no subs.

If I play movie with mx player or bs player subs are ok.

Mobile is transcoding dts sound perfectly to get sound on chromecast, and only need subtitles to have a perfect setup :)
[Android Apps and Games] Peter Galbavy:
Same! I use BubbleUPNP on my bicycle in a padded case and if I could vary volume without side buttons (home is easy on the Galaxy Note 2) that would be really great.

Potential bug?

Hi, I noticed that the small orange color scroll bar disappears sometimes in the various library views. When I first enter a view like Artists the orange scroll bar is visible but if I select an artist then go back to the artist list view the scroll bar is no longer visible. Usually, I can make the bar appear by swiping up or down on the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] elenhil:
A minor gripe: for as long as I can remember, the Android client had always restarted with a regular local renderer, not the OpenHome one, regardless of it being filtered off.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What Android version are you using ? Some Android versions have this bug. To workaround it, in previous versions of the app, the fast scroller was always displayed on KitKat (for long lists). But this is no longer the case because the fast scroller was drawn on top of 3-dot menu and it was problematic to tap them, for some.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I cannot reproduce this. Whether I exit the app with the local OpenHome renderer or another OpenHome renderer active, the app restarts with this renderer active. Verifiy that 'Settings > Control > Wait for renderer on startup' is enabled. Give more detail on which OpenHome renderer is not made active on startup.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
On KitKat and below, there are volume buttons in the BubbleUPnP lockscreen widget (which then replaces the Android stock music control widget), that you must manually add.

On Lollipop, the expanded lockscreen notification has volume buttons. But it is only possible to show the expanded notification if not using a pin code (or equivalent). This is a Lollipop limitation (which sucks). I even created a bug report for that on the Adroid bug tracker, but nobody seems to care...
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can send me a log file playing a movie with subs with that setup. See first post of this topic for logging instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Nothing changed with covers handling in recent versions. Try clearing the cache in Settings > Library > Clear thumbnail cache.

No plan for multiroom. It is anyway not technically possible (playing the same media synchronized on multiple renderers) with straight UPnP AV. That's why Sonos (and others) sell expensive proprietary systems to do it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Make sure you have changed relevant transcode settings in Settings > Network and settings ?
[Android Apps and Games] tboooe:
Hello. I am on KitKat 4.4.2.

Is it possible to display the letters on screen while you are scrolling? This makes it easier to quickly scroll instead of looking at the actual list itself which is hard if you are scrolling fast.

Would also be nice to have the letters of the alphabet visible to quickly jump to specific letters.

Finally, is it possible to the search button visible without first having to press the 3 button menu bar? That would be quicker.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, the fast scroller bug I was referring to apply to this KitKat version. It has been fixed with KitKat 4.4.3 or higher.

Well, there was an alphabet at some point linked with the fast scroller but I had to disable it because of various bugs in Android versions, and weird behaviour on the fast scroller when the alphabet enabled. The fast scroller in Android is horrible to deal with, with all its bugs and inconsistencies between versions.

It's always visible on tablets but not on phones. No plan to change it.
[Android Apps and Games] elenhil:
Obvious, isn't it? Sorry I was too dumb to think of it :)

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

One more thing: I often encounter a situation when one of my two phones (a control point) stops seeing another (the renderer) until I reboot my router. The thing is, my Foobar2000 instance can see it just fine. So, incidentally, does the BubbleUPnP server. And both phones can see Foobar2000 just fine, too. The problem is with the Android client, then. Or the wifi-to-wifi pathway in my router (though it was the same with the previous one). Any way of troubleshooting this issue?

P.S. The "blast alive messages" option is on.
[Android Apps and Games] Miracle1980:
I really love this application and actually the only thing that i'm really missing is the scrobbling function (Last.fm for example) working with OpenHome render.

Unfortunately when i have asked about it to the company of my render they didn't even know what was the scrobbling...

Do you think that it can be somehow implemented in Bubbleupnp or maybe Foobar, that i use as library?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] FF666:
All is setup and I have a connection to the server that is working when I press test.

I do use it only on home network, so access from internet is not enabled. Does this matter? I tested this on my phone (oneplus one) and on a Nexus 7. All are still just downloading FLAC. I'm not sure what else I could be forgetting.
[Android Apps and Games] nordic-style:

Pre-built Installer for foobar2000 and fooupnp on OS X?

My library and server run under Windows, with foobar2000, fooupnp and bubbleupnp server.

I use my Android phone with bubbleupnp and a Windows laptop with foobar2000 and fooupnp as clients to play music remotely, but I'd also like to set up similar client access on my wife's iMac to play music on that from my Windows server.

I see reference to using Wine and/or Wineskin to set this up, and even see a link to a pre-built installer to set up the bubbleupnp server under OS X.

Has anyone created a pre-built installer for foobar2000 and fooupnp to run them under OS X without having to learn how to run Wine or Wineskin and then configure them to run in it? I had set up Parallels on her iMac a few years ago, but it slowed everything to a crawl, so I got rid of it.

I cannot seem to logon to the BubbleUPnP interface that I recently installed on my Synology NAS:

Any ideas what logon is needed or any settings that need adjusting?

I finally got track advance to work with chromecast

Hello! This might be common knowledge to some of you but for me it took a long while to figure out. And since there are multiple options in the app designed to fix issues with track advance, I think this might be worth mentioning or repeating.

So, if you run out of luck with track advance while trying to listen mp3 files via chromecast, check your mp3 files for broken/missing vbr metadata. Older mp3 files may not include the relevant information for the track length calculation to work properly, and unfortunately bubbleupnp is not among those mp3 players that can handle it well, or maybe it is some interaction with chromecast that does it. In any case, fixing the mp3 files with ubuntu vbrfix app did the trick. The windows vbrfix works also. After the variable bitrate mp3 files have the proper de-facto metadata in them, track advance works fine. Google vbrfix will tell you what you need to do and how to get the application. I used ubuntu and a find -exec spell to fix all my mp3 files.

Suggestion to developer, in order of simplicity:

- add a tip about vbrfix for mp3 track advance issues

- fix the app so that track advance works also with old vbr mp3 files without that de-facto vbr metadata

Since plex refuses to fix plex maybe you could take a swing at it? One annoyance is dlna metadata mapping, it was done by what, throwing darts?

They map the "description" tag to the title tag plus the year tag??? Mmmkay.. well you can "fix" this by copying the summary into the title, which in my case doing this by hand for 450 movies is not ideal.

I've tried to edit the xml to maybe automate it, but when modifying it (info.xml) directly it does not protect the changes and they are overwritten on refresh.. I was thinking as part of the proxy server you maybe intercepting the metadata and correctly mapping it might be relatively easy??

Hello Bubbleguuum,

I recently discovered two issues that appear to be new. I'm using the latest versions of BubbleUPnP and BubbleUPnP Server:

1.) The content of the comment field in the "Show Metadata" screen lacks formatting. To be more specific, the line breaks are missing, so that all the text appears in one block. I'm using MinimServer. Of course, the tags themselves are formatted correctly and in former versions of BubbleUPnP, the format appeared correctly.

2.) I use BubbleUPnP Server and every time I close and reopen the associated renderer (Samsung Galaxy S2 running BubbleUPnP as well), the saved playlist is broken. It seems that the streaming source is not saved or loaded correctly, because according to the "Show Metadata" screen, the IP-address is changed from 192.xxx.xxx.20 (the correct one) to 192.xxx.xxx.22 (the "22" is reproducible), although the source's IP - MinimServer is running on a NAS - is never changed.

Can you please look into these issues?

And a request: In the "Show Metadata" screen, is it possible to add an empty line after the "Desc."-field? Right now the field's content is directly followed by the stream's source.

And while I'm at it: The app's automatic shutdown ("Kill on inactivity") does not work in every case, if the music is played to the local renderer. When a playlist has finished playing regularly, then the app is not killed. The same problem seems to be when the device is connected to the power supply, although I haven't tested that properly. The app is killed as desired, if a playlist is stopped manually via a controlpoint.

Thank you and best regards

Again tried multiple things. Connecting to proxy, connecting to different media server, nothing works. Audio is simply not transcoded to local renderer. Anyone else that could try?

[MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION] :

I'm using your app with the full version unlocker installed.

Because my phone is now about two years old and starts to be slow, I decided some time ago to freeze the GPlayStore and GServices,

when I don't use them to boost my phone. (it makes a big difference if gaaps are active or not on 640mb MB RAM and 800Mhz DualCore)

The thing is, that when I freeze the gaaps your app immediately thinks that I dont have an full version installed.

Is there any possible workaround for this?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Are you downloading/playing from the media server whose name has [Home] appended ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Working Google Play and Google Play Services are needed for license verification.

It's needed by any app that is paid or has IAPs.

Doing bad things to Play Services can have weird side effects.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What link is not working ? It is working here...
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, this broke in the latest version introducing the ability to have description be html. I will fix it.

What probably happened is that these Saved Playlist entries where added with your NAS being on a .22 ip.

Normally, BubbleUPnP will modify saved stream ip addresses at the time of playback (it doesn't appear in the metadata dialog), in case the media server has changed ip address in between. So it should work. If it doesn't, please send me a log file playing such Saved Playist entry, so I can see if the ip address substitution is done correctly. See first post of this topic for logging instructions.

Ok.

Kill on inactivty works only if running on battery and after the screen is off for the specified duration. Let me know if it doesn't work in these conditions.
[Android Apps and Games] S.AMU:
Not all apps.

For example Poweramp and ElectroDroid are doing the verification one time and then its ok. So after this one time verification I can turn off play services without problems. Sygic is not using the Play Services for verification. They are using a proprietary System and Titanium Backup Pro is also working without PlayServices.

Your app is the only app which has problems with this... :(
[Android Apps and Games] Lakorus:
I sent two logfiles, one from the renderer, the other from the controlpoint. The logged events aren't the same, but the steps I had taken are the same. Please note that the .20 IP is the NAS's correct and unchanged address and that I haven't encountered problems in previous versions.

Good to know about the battery, in the future I will make sure that there is no other power supply. In the logfile that I sent, the Kill on inactivity worked without problem. Maybe the power supply was the problem's cause all the while! I will investigate further and post a logfile if I can reproduce the problem reliably.

Best regards

Ive been using this app for many months now with my Xbox one streaming any video format i throw at it, now all of a sudden none of my files are being detected and when i use a file explorer to open the file in bubbleupnp it tries to play it im getting a "resource not found (code 716)" message. i just cannot get this to work at all, ive paid for the license but nothing. i can stream to the chromecast but not the xbone. any idea of what may be preventing playback?

Ubuntu systemd scripts

I've spent some time converting the upstart script into a systemd service.

Hopefully this will be useful to some people.

You should remove /etc/init.d/bubbleupnpserver and /etc/init/bubbleupnpserver.conf

These are the old upstart scripts and will confuse systemd.

Create the file /usr/share/bubbleupnpserver/startService.sh

#!/bin/bash

if [ -f "$DEFAULTFILE" ]; then
. "$DEFAULTFILE"
else
USER=root
DATADIR=/root/.bubbleupnpserver
HTTP_PORT=58050
HTTPS_PORT=58051
fi

# Make sure daemon is started with system locale
if [ -r /etc/default/locale ]; then
. /etc/default/locale
export LANG
fi

OPTS="-dataDir ${DATADIR} -httpPort ${HTTP_PORT} -httpsPort ${HTTPS_PORT} -nologstdout"

Create the file /lib/systemd/system/bubbleupnpserver.service

[Unit]
Description=BubbleUPnP Server
Requires=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
Environment=DEFAULTFILE=/etc/default/bubbleupnpserver
Restart=on-failure
ExecStartPre=/usr/share/bubbleupnpserver/startService.sh
ExecStart=/usr/share/bubbleupnpserver/launch.sh ${OPTS}

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

You can now start the server with

service bubbleupnpserver start

or

systemctl start bubbleupnpserver.service

To make bubbleupnpserver start on server boot run the following command

systemctl enable bubbleupnpserver.service

Enable does not start the service, nor does starting it enable it (linux wouldn't be fun if it would be obvious).

This version ignores the USER variable you can set in /etc/default/bubbleupnpserver. You can add that in by changing the ExecStart line to:

ExecStart=/bin/su - ${USER} -c "/usr/share/bubbleupnpserver/launch.sh ${OPTS}"

I haven't tested that though.

I hope this can be merged quickly and easily into the vivid package.

Renderer selection when sharing media from other apps

Hello Bubbleguuum,

Thank you for helping me with the issue I had with video thumbnails in filesystem 5 months ago, now I have another suggestion.

Sometimes when browsing photos and videos with QuickPic I want to view them on one of my TV sets. To do so I'm selecting several files, pressing Share, choosing BubbleUPnP and the files are getting immediately added to the Playlist and playing on the currently selected renderer. The problem is that the renderer selected is often not the one I want.

My workaround when browsing the gallery is temporary press Home, open BubbleUPnP, select the renderer and switch back to the gallery to share files from there. It's somewhat inconvenient and I suggest adding a dialog when sharing media to BubbleUPnP, where one can select the renderer and decide whether to play immediately or just enqueue the files.

Another minor issue I have is that when I share the same file multiple times it gets added multiple times to the playlist. It does not bother me a lot, but I'd prefer not having it in the playlist at all or at least only one instance of it.

Thank you,

Taras

If I start the same movie from the same server with BubbleUPnP, I do not have any sound.

Can anyone explain me why? Please, if you need more information, let me know.

Thank you in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is intended to work like that in fact, to not show a renderer selection dialog when 95% of the time you just want to use the last used renderer. I despise apps that makes you select the same device over and over.

If you want to change the target renderer when sending items from other apps, you must start BubbleUPnP first and change it before sending the items.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP Server prevents sleeping but only when doing transcoding or proxying a media.

It shouldn't prevent sleep permanently unless there's a bug. However you can disable it, editing configuration.xml and setting 'disablePreventWindowsSleep' to 'true', then restart the server.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is probable that Serviio is not serving the same stream when your TV is browsing and when BubbleUPnP is browsing. Go into the Serviio console and try to assign your TV profile to BubbleUPnP.
