hi,

i use bubbleupnp with my dlna smart tv.

1: often i watch m3u8 video file from the web ,i share it using dlna to my tv but tv cannot play it ( file not supported). Is there a way bubbleupnp can download video 'embedded " in m3u8 files ?

2 in order to grab videos from web pages i use vget https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mb.videoget&hl=it

This app is very usefull, it can also stream to tv, chromecast etc.. just like bubbleupnp.

But it has a particular feature while streaming a web video to a renderer: it passes the link to the renderer , than the renderer plays the video by itself, the renderer no more is linked to vget..So even if i shut down the phone the video keeps playing on my tv..i can control it with tv remote or with vget...

Bubbleupnp , instead , alway 'links' the renderer to itself, for example if i shut down the phone or terminate bubbleupnp, the renderer non more plays..

is it possible to implement the same ' independant video renderer' in bubbleupnp, like vget does?

bubbleupnp & hifiberry

hi,

i'm using bubbpleupnp as a music control point in my synology 213j:minimserver:marantz na7004-setup for a long time without any issues except for the ****ing inabilitiy of gapless na7004-playback (Marantz NA7004 Gapless pull but not push, see yabb jriver com/interact/index.php?topic=82905.0).

is there anybody out there having some experiences with bubble as control point and raspi+hifiberry as just a renderer connected to my amp (i mean the hifiberry dac+ version or is anybody using a digi+ with na7004)?

i'm not looking for a mediacenter solution, just looking for a simple tiny gapless software solution for a raspi+hifiberry as an dlna-client connected to my stereo amp (or digi+ connected to na7004).

would be glad about some hints.

This is a very busy thread so apologies if this is known but the latest update (2.3.4) on both my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (4.4.2) and my Nexus 7 2013 (5.0.2) both hung - while playing audio - when adding an album from my WD Passport Wireless (Twonky). Clearing out all app data (from the App Manager, not inside BubbleUPNP) seems to have helped but the app is still far less responsive than previously.

Anything to look for / any logs that may help?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can you resend the same log but exit the app (Menu > Exit) after enabling logging so I have the logs from startup and the details of the http requests made by your renderer.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Eventually send me a log file detailing your actions and at which point it hung (see first post of this topic for instructions) ? Does hung means the app freezed and was unresponsive ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You could try upmpdcli as a renderer on the Rpi. It is an OpenHome renderer, supports gapless and works great with BubbleUPnP.
[Android Apps and Games] Peter Galbavy:
If it happens again, I will - but since clearing all app data it's been generally OK.

What it was doing was that the UI completely hung after audio started playing. Could not switch screens and the widget was also non-responsive. Audio continued until I killed the process via an ANR dialogue.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
First, most DLNA TVs have special requirements towards the http server serving the stream, and are unable to play a direct http video stream from a random server on the Internet (via DLNA that is). That's why BubbleUPnP has to proxy the stream for the video to play, doing whatever the TV expects to accept to play it. Proxying requires to leave BubbleUPnP running while the video plays, which address your second point. When sending an external media link to BubbleUPnP it is always proxied (except for Chromecast) as it is the most reliable way to have it playing.

m3u8 links are HLS videos, and BubbleUPnP does not support proxying them. The m3u8 link is sent as is to the renderer which may play or not play it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No immediate plan for this.
[Android Apps and Games] TeHashX:
I created an OpenHome renderer from my samsung tv and now I can send movies directly to tv while I'm connected with ddns ip address but some files failed to play.

I set enableStreamProxyRequestLog and useNumericIpInStreamURL to true, played a file and tried with another one which fail, sent you BubbleUPnPServer.log.0 by email.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] gaetanolip:
Ok thanks i understand..

but Nowadays almost all tv(s) can play direct http stream, proxying link maybe is more reliable but it requires more juice ( battery and cpu) by the phone and furthermore you need higher internet bandwitch ( downolad and upload) , and thi is a problem for hd content when you have ugly internet sevice..

Maybe you could create a dual (option) way to send http link to the renderer...

I use this in my car a lot. I also sync entire folders to my phone. However, I do not always want to listen to every song in the folder.

Is it possible to add a gesture or button on the Now Playing screen to delete the current song? I'm thinking it would be an optional add in settings.

I would say, it would really need to be there only for music.

The intention is, after I sync a folder to my phone, I am in the car, instead of fast forwarding a bunch of times, I can just delete the sings. Then, over the period of a month, I'd get a good playlist without much effort. Eventually, when that list gets stale, I repeat the process.

Thanks!

Problem with openHome renderer and Tidal

I've been using BubbleUPNP with tidal and foobar2000 as renderer with the OpenHome layer provided by BubbleUPnP server for a few days and I am impressed so far.

Since arount 3 hours ago I find that every playlist I send to the OpenHome renderer is not played and foobar mentions a bad request (400) for every track it tries to play. On the other hand if I use the foobar renderer directly (without the OpenHome proxy) everything works fine. Local rendering in bubbleupnp works fine as well.

It happens in different computers and with different controllers and the same behavior happens if I use my home theater instead of foobar.

I have reinstalled the server and logged out and in again in TIDAL from BubbleUpnP.

Any clues of what can be happening?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thank you for the report, I could reprod the problem.

Looks like TIDAL changed its streaming servers to Amazon and it put in evidence a bug in BubbleUPnP Server proxying.

I will issue a BubbleUPnP Server update soon to fix the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Issue fixed in BubbleUPnP Server 0.9-update8. To update manually, in the web configuration: Settings > Update > Check for update.

It also fixes an issue with OpenHome playlists containing non ASCII characters not properly saved to file on Windows (thus with strange characters appearing on subsequent playlist loading).
[Android Apps and Games] Paraglider1982:
Since the last two updates I've got freezing and crash issues with the bubbleupnp app.

My setup on my streaming pc is serviio together with the bubbleupnp software and I stream to my chromecast.

When I select a .mkv on the bubbleupnp app the stream is started and also is also being played at the chromecast but then the bubbleupnp app freezes and crashes.

After that I have to open it again and then the playing stream is shown correctely and playing in the bubbleupnp app and all is working fine.

I never had issues with older app version, the problem began recently with one of the last app updates.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What is your Android device and Android version ?

When it freeze does BUbbleUPnP becomes entirely unresponsive ? Do you see an ANR dialog ("Android Not Responding") ?

What do you mean by crash ? The app just disappear ? Something else ?

[Android Apps and Games] AStyrofoamCup:
I have been having a similar problem in the past few weeks. When I play an MKV, it plays for a couple seconds, then stutters. When I hit "stop" on the BubbleUPNP app, my Chromecast reboots. I have not changed my hardware setup, and the server is running. I do not have any issues playing MP4 files.

If there is any documentation or logging I can send you, I'd be more than happy to. Love the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Peter Galbavy:
My hanging re-appeared a day after resetting everything. I have now enabled logging but don't have the UPNP source running. I will reproduce and send logs asap.

Just got myself a pair of these great speakers. and using BubbleUPnP from my tablet to stream tracks from my NetGear NAS. The problem I have is if I create a playlist of FLAC tracks, BubbleUPnP does not automatically play the next track. Works fine when streaming to other devices, and also works fine if the playlist is made of MP3.

Any advice?

I see you use default ffmpeg args on the http request from android / tethering client "?args=-vf+scale%3Dtrunc%28oh*a%2F2%29*2%3A720+-ab+128000"

Have you a list with all possible bubbleupnp server request parameters??

You wrote that you have no immediate plan for implement transcoding option to android app for external renderers.

pity, it would be very useful for those who have slow upload and no pc on the opposite side.

I think its no very difficult to implement an option to add args(-vf+scale=trunc(oh*a/2)*2:720+-ab+128000) for external renderers (advertise on lan) ... but i'am not a developer....

But youre app is the best..

How to set audio format for streaming to foobar renderer

Hello. Is it possible to configure audio format used for streaming from BubbleUPnp app to foobar2000 renderer? LPCM vs WAV vs MP3? I know that it is possible when Audio Cast is used but it is not clear if this setting affects normal streaming directly from Local Library in Bubble UPnP app (without usíng Audio Cast). Thanks for answer in advance.

EDIT:

Currently when I am playing Google music track directly from BubbleUPnP it is streamed to foobar 2000 renderer as MP3 320kb (the same as original track in Google Music cloud).

When I am playing the same track via Audio Cast from original Google Music app it is streamed to foobar 2000 renderer as WAW 16bit/44.1kHz

And the sound quality is slightly different in both scenarios (Audio Cast sounds slightly better). Is there any explanation for this behaviour when original track format is MP3 320kb? Theoretically the sound quality would be the same in both scenarios. Is it possible change audio format for streaming without using Audio Cast?

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I have an idea on what it could be. Can you report if streaming a FLAC stored on your Android device (via the local media server) to your Sony renderer works ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Audio Cast and regular streaming are different.

Audio Cast is a single continous stream, so it has to be streamed as PCM (either WAV or LPCM).

Regular streaming just streams the file in its original format, be it MP3 , FLAC or something else.

There is no sound quality difference streaming a 320K mp3 with either method. It doesn't matter if it is converted to PCM

by Android (Audio Cast), or by the renderer.
[Android Apps and Games] klapaciuss:
Regarding sound quality I completely agree. Theoretically there is no reason for different sound quality in both scenarios in case of error free implementation. But real empiric experience with real technical implementation shows different findings. This is common behavior for Foobar2000 UPnP plugin that WAV streaming format has better sound quality than MP3 streaming format (in case of MP3 original audio track). Regardless of streaming application (BubbleUPnp, AllStream UPnP ...). Maybe there is something wrong on the side foobar2000 UPnP implementation (MP3 stream decoding). My findings come from experience with Samsung smartphones and tablet (Note2, Note 3, Tab Pro 8.4). All with stock ROM with Touchwiz.

EDIT:

I am using in foobar2000 upscaling to 96kHz/24bit output format. Maybe there is any connection with problem described above.
[Android Apps and Games] Peter Galbavy:
In very limited use yesterday 2.3.5 seems better. I will continue to use and see if the issue reoccurs on either of my devices. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] jbfilho:
Hi Bubbleguuum

Just to make things clear: my media server is a Sony Xperia Z3 and the renderer is a Panasonic BP DMP-BDT220.

I am able to play FLAC files normally from local media server or an external DLNA server like Serviio for example. Following your suggestion I played a FLAC file stored im my smartphone to my renderer and recorded the log enclosed.

Hope it helps.

So, I got an LG GPad 8.3 from my cellular carrier. It runs Android Kitkat 4.4.2. I have tried over 10 different system wide equalizer programs from the Play store, but none of them work. They either produce no sound at all (BubbleUPnP refuses to play any music), music that stutters a lot, or the music plays fine but the EQ has no effect on the audio quality. So, are there plans for:

1) an EQ implementation in the BubbleUPnP Android app itself (similar to PowerAmp built in EQ)

2) EQ via BubbleUPnP server ??

[Android Apps and Games] msssm:
I have a feature request: Cloud-based Saved Playlist.

As I use BubbleUPnP for large Podcast lists, I use the Feature "Saved Playlist" and delete items I add to the playlist for taking care what files are already "listened". So the saved playlists only have the files not listend yet. I would like to use that from multiple devices having BubbleUPnP, but the saved playlist are currently local only on one device. It would be fine the be able to store these saved playlist on the general cloud services such as Google Drive. Thanks.

For podcasts my app News+ also has the "read/unread" function, but I don't thrust that feature. BubbleUPnp cannot use external (non on mediaserver) Podcast from RSS or similar XML?

Bug Report - Force Cover Refresh does not work

The "Force Cover Refresh" option does not work.

I wanted to cast compilation albums, for example, 2014 Billboard Hot 100.

My ID3 tags show that each song has same Album Name and

different

embedded Album Art for each of the 100 songs. Even an Android ID3 tag editor confirms that.

However, BubbleUPnP always shows the album art for the 1st Track. This means whatever songs I play, it shows Pharrell Williams on the giant TV screen.

The Cover Cache settings says it cached 100 Covers. Clearing the Cache does not help.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What is the media server managing this album ? Maybe it assigns the same cover URL to all the tracks.

Generally speaking, it is not a good idea to have different embedded covers for each track of the same album.

It's not an album, it is a playlist.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Send me a log file of a Sync (see first post of this topic for logging instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can you describe in detail "restarting app" (error message if any, what happens visually, ...) ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes Google drive cloud saved playlist would be good. No promise though.

Not exactly the same thing, but you can access the "Saved Playlist" folder of device A from device B by browsing on B the BubbleUPnP media server of A.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I removed it because sometimes album art remained stuck on the lockscreen after exitting BubbleUPnP,

and I could not find a fix or workaround (seemed like a Lollipop bug).

If it is fixed on Lollipop 5.1, I'll enable it again.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The stock equalizer enabled via Menu > Equalizer in the Now Playing tab works fine on my Nexus 4 4.4.4.

Alternate equalizers should also work (If there are many, BubbleUPnP will let you select which one to use). Of course that's only for local playback.

1 and 2: no plan for these.
[Android Apps and Games] Andriy2:
Music is playing (and have notification with now playing song) --> music stops (notification - none --> BubbleUPnP is running..) --> song restart from 0:00 (or sometimes - nothing, I must open app and click Play button)

This Chromecast reboot could well be due to this Chromecast issue when playing AC-3 audio via pass-through on the initial Chromecast hardware revision.

A possible fix:

- install BubbleUPnP Server or local transcoding (see Settings > Chromecast)

- if one of the above is already installed, make sure 'Settings > Chromecast > AC-3 Pass-through' is disabled (it is disabled by default)

BubbleUPnP in CAR mode

Hi,

This is an awesome APP I have ever used for DLNA mode

Now I enjoy music via this APP and LINKA (WIFI DLNA DAC)

After a period time experience, I have some suggestion for CAR mode:

1. Is it possible to have a setting to set resume play automatically while connecting to a renderer(e.g. LINKA).

If yes, it would be more convenient in CAR mode. Just jump into my car, BubbleUPnP resume play music automatically while connected to LINKA.

Sounds perfect, right?

2.Is it possible to have a setting to set default volume to what I want?

So far, when I execute BubbleUPnP, the default volume is 55. It would be better to set to 70 for better dynamic range.

Thanks for your great support. Thank you.

Hey guys,

I just bought BubbleUPNP because I wanted to stream Music (via Deezer App) from my smartphone to my Onkyo receiver.

Sadly Im experiencing huge delays/lags. When changing a title in Deezer, I can listen to it about more than 10 seconds later... Is this a buffering issue? How can I fix it and try to realize a perfect playback?

[MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION] since Android 4.4 apps can write to private folders on external storage.

thx alot bubbleguuum, pi2+upmdcli+minim on synology+bubbleupnp is working really great, a fine small perfect solution. gapless, fast in response managing a huge collection - just perfect.

however: after some days of listening & comparing the output of marantz na7004 and hifiberry dac+ i decided to try the hifiberry digi+ connected to na7004 via optical wire, cause i like the sounding of the marantz dac much more.

bubbleupnp rocks, thx for all the work.
