Hey ive been trying out bubbleupnp server and transcoding works fine for chromecast but on my new panasonic viera tv (which doesnt support dts) there is no transcoding performed for videos with dts.

Are there profiles which can be modified to get it to force transcoding of dts?
[Android Apps and Games] Lara12:
I use this app and it is awesome. The only problem is that sometimes I turn off the tv and forget to exit the app and in the morning I found the battery is drained

1. When away and connected to the BubbleUPnP server at home, why is just http://... (and not https://... ) reported from the "show metadata" option regarding the location of the music stream?

The BubbleUPnP server (and router) at home is set up for https too, and of course the server reports that https is also available. And the setting on my phone is https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:58051, and it says it connects successfully when "test"ing.

So why not https the source of the stream?
[Android Apps and Games] tjua:
As expected, the usual user error. Problem fixed with the correct use of "slash", "/". Marvellous when all is working
[Android Apps and Games] henryjfry:
So any support forthcoming?
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
"Support" (in the form of any responses) might be more more likely if you refrain from bump posting, self quoting and requesting ETA's (this is a development thread, not a free software and tech support portal). Here is some advise about bug reporting and communicating with developers in this regard: https://xdaforums.com/wiki/Reporting_A_Problem_-_Android.
[Android Apps and Games] henryjfry:
Well im glad I havent paid for the software if that's the kind of response you get to a support request.

And having the only support information in a 12 thousand post long thread makes it virtually impossible to find if the issue has been dealt with before or not.

If I had thought about paying for the software before I definitely won't be doing it now.
[Android Apps and Games] henryjfry:
It's a paid for piece of software with an incredibly long forum post for support.

I don't have a bug, mine was a general functionality query about how the dlna profiles are served by bublbleupnp server.

I'm beginning to suspect that the functionality I desire (transcoding for anything but chromecast from osmc) is not something that bubble upnp server is supposed to do anyway.

Ie transcoding is triggered by the android app. Mostly so they can check to see if you have paid for it and not provide any functionality for free.

Which makes the snarky response to my genuine query even worse.

And I had to ask because the documentation was so vague about that point.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
You did not need to bump within 2 days which is disrespectful to developers and other members (and against the XDA rules you agreed to when you signed up - item 5: https://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?a=81). No snark. Just coaching. Perhaps you could take to heart the XDA rules and the wiki about communicating with devs. In the past some nice projects have ended and developers departed because of insistent bump posting. I dont think that is imminent here but I hope you can understand why this is something we should all know. Again, not snark, just coaching.

Onward to the technical issue at hand. If I could reproduce it I would test but I only have Chromecast.The only workaround I can think of is to use a 3rd device (such as a computer) to encode but that is not really a practical solution. That said, I am curious and will be watching for the answer just as you might.

This is a development thread and you need to understand what that means. Also, please dont punish bubbleguuum for my trying to coach you about forum rules and protocol.

Is anyone using the amazon cloud drive with bubble upnp? I was using the app for playing the music on my smartphone. Last time I did that loading time was fast and skipping tracks took only 2 seconds. Now it takes more than 30 seconds to start playing or skip to the next song. Is anyone experiencing the same issue?

Tidal and Xbox One

I'm having issues trying to use Tidal through Bubble on my phone. Xbox One is recognizing the app, but Tidal isn't an option to pick on the cloud players. Is there a setting that I need to change in the app or on my Xbox?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=2747055]outlaw2384[/MENTION]

You cannot browse TIDAL from your Xbox One. Instead you must select the Xbox as renderer in BubbleUPnP and play TIDAL to your Xbox using BubbleUPnP.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=3185332]jhigh[/MENTION]

Possibly due to Android reading the whole track before playing when it shouldn't.

What Android device and Android version do you have ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=5040752]henryjfry[/MENTION]

As you probably found out by now, BubbleUPnP Server supports transcoding for Chromecast *only*.

There is no generalized transcoding for all devices and no plan to add it.

However, I suggest you use Serviio as media server as it supports transcoding out of the box for many DLNA TVs.

If you try this, you will have to configure serviio so it thinks BubbleUPnP is your TV.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=1622582]EPa[/MENTION]

Stream URLs always use http for compatibility reasons, in particular with external renderers but also old versions the Android media framework.

Also http also uses slightly less CPU when streaming on your device.

If you connect with https, everything else including browsing is encrypted with TLS. Stream URLs can only be obtained

by browsing and cannot be guessed or forged.

I could add https support for stream URL but it adds a level of complication that is probably not worth the trouble.
[Android Apps and Games] outlaw2384:
Cool. That brings me to my other issue, my phone isn't recognizing my Xbox One as a renderer. What settings do I need to look at in the app or on my Xbox to fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=5630155]steve51184[/MENTION]

Not currently: it is automatically expanded by Android whenever it wants to, and the only way to prevent that would be to add

a setting in BubbleUPnP to disable the expanded notification entirely. Noting this idea but no promise.

In the Xbox settings, verify that 'Game DVR & streaming > Allow PlayTo streaming' is enabled.

If it is already enabled, then do a cold reboot (not a resume from sleep) of your Xbox One.

If the Xbox still isn't detected, reboot your WiFi router.

Also eventually reboot your Android device in last resort.

EDIT: you must also have the 'Groove Music' app installed on your Xbox.

UI on Chromecast

I'm new to this forum so I apologize if this has been discussed already (I did try searching to no avail). I recently moved from using UPnPlay to using BubbleUPnP with paid license because of its superior UI on my Android phone. I did notice when casting to Chromecast two on-screen elements that differ from UPnPlay:

1. Long song titles are truncated beyond about 30 or so characters regardless of where the cover art is positioned on the screen as it jumps around. With UPnPlay (and also with a podcast app I use called Podcast Republic) the full title is shown and is only truncated when and as much as necessary depending on its length and where the cover art jumps to on the screen.

2. The background is a solid dark gray whereas the background with UPnPlay (and with Podcast Republic) is a gradient from dark gray at the bottom of the tv screen to black at the top. The gradient background looks nicer and more refined, though of course that's my personal opinion.

Anyway, if you might consider these feedback items in a future update, that would be great. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=2915816]friedflow[/MENTION]

It looks great and I have enabled them server side. You can play a video with subs to check how they look (sub background needs of course to be set transparent in BubbleUPnP appareance dialog). It looks even better with a more yellow color for the subs and the Tiresias font (both of which can be changed in Now Playing > speech bubble icon > Appearance). So thank you for the tip.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=8291667]GAJXDA[/MENTION]

1. This was to workaround an old firmware bug where if the title was too long, a scrollbar would appear.

I guess this workaround is not needed anymore and will remove it.

2. Indeed this is personal opinion. Whatever the background is, you can bet someone would prefer something else.

For now I'll leave it as it is (eg no background, although it appears grayish) as it is the fastest to load and neutral.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=1622582]EPa[/MENTION]

No chance for it as there is no simple way to extract them from tags. It would require integrating a whole media framework supporting extracting

embedded lyrics tags.

BubbleUPNP Server crashes (?) on Synology NAS

I'm trying out BubbleUPNP Server on my Synology NAS to create Openhome renderers from chromecast. I find that BubbleUPNP Server needs to be restarted a lot, like daily or maybe even more often. It seems like almost any time someone tries to play music it is not working. Note that I am able to connect to its web interface and tell it to restart, and then usually things work. If I look on the NAS itself through its package interface, BubbleUPNP Server is shown as "running", even though it's not working.

When selecting a library (twonky server) goes directly to "all tracks" and does not give the options for "album" or any other.

Is there a setting for giving me all or only one option?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=8296463]galevro[/MENTION]

This is Twonky acting funky and serving a single folder (Music) with the consequence of BubbleUPnP auto entering it.

You can probably fix this in the web configuration ot Twonky, find the section that list media receivers and clear it.

Then enventually restart Twonky and BubbleUPnP.

Synology has a specific problem with some versions of Java crashing after a while and letting BubbleUPnP Server in a broken state.

This might be fixed with latest JRE. Make sure to install or upgrade to the Oracle JRE 8u131. For instructions, look at MinimServer documentation.

Metadata display problem. Please help this lost boy!

Hi, I have set up a kind of video 'Jukebox' where we can push music video files from my file server to my A.V. units via a laptop or tablet or whatever. It's bloody brilliant, OpenHome DLNA is the key that I have needed for friggin ages. (Just wish our PS3 could play the "push to renderer" game as well). The kids love to have everything neatly displayed on a hand held device as tiles so they can just select songs and play them from anywhere to anywhere. Therein lies the start of my confusing problem.

When I browse my library from Windows->jRiver->BubbleUPnPServer to BubbleUPnP Android the artist tag is not displayed for video files, so therefore you're not able to do a search by Artist. If I load a video file into the playlist on BubbleUPnP Android the 'Edit Metadata' context menu shows the artist tag, however not from the 'Show Metadata' context menu in the Library pane. If I do the same thing from Windows->Universal MediaServer->BubbleUPnPServer to BubbleUPnP Android the artist metadata shows along with the song title. This suggests jRiver is the problem, however if I do Windows->jRiver->BubbleUPnPServer to MonkeyUPnP Android as the control point, artist is also shown correctly for video files. Audio files display Artist metadata correctly in all 3 scenarios I have mentioned and I'm only talking about at the control point. The renderer always shows all the metadata.

It has to be something simple I reckon but no amount of fiddling at either end of the chain seems to work. Please point me in the right direction.

Cheers and Beers

Oz

Since I run Minimserver I already followed those instructions. I have DSM 6.0 or later and I followed the appropriate instructions. The package manager lists my Java version as 8.0.121-0013 and there is no obvious way to perform any sort of upgrade at the moment. I am pretty sure it upgraded automatically a while ago. So (1) do I need to upgrade? And if I do need to upgrade, (2) how do I do that given this situation?

Hi,

I had several Albums in my local Cache Folder which I deleted out of the app. Still though they are shown in the library. When i click on one of those Album the Content is empty. They are shown also with covers although None of both is localy on my phone.

How can I remove them from library?

Google Home integration Feature

Would it be possible to have BubbleuPNP "integrate" with Google Home. Since Google open up their API.

For example, "Hey google, ask Bubble to cast to [devicename]" Or maybe even be able to ask Google home to directly to play a specific artist/song/album/etc... to a specific device.

Saved Playlists

Dear, bubbleguuum

I have created many Saved Playlists with BubbleUPnP on Android.

After selecting the created Playlist and displaying the song list screen, tap the back button and return to the Saved Playlists screen, the position of the List View will move to the top.

This is inconvenient to operate many Saved Playlists.

Would you please improve so that you keep the position of the previous List View when return to the Saved Playlists screen?

Also, many Saved Playlists are created in the same hierarchy. Would you please add a group function like the example below?

Adele favorite <- playlist

Beethoven <- Group

| - Beethoven Piano <- playlist

| - Beethoven Violin <- playlist

Bach <- Group

| - Bach Viollin <- playlist

| - Bach Cello <- playlist

Bach Viollin <- playlist

Metal Core <- playlist

Thank you.

You can try force clearing the Android media database and rebuild it:

- use 'Clear Data' on the 'Media Storage' app, in Android settings > Apps (use '3 dot > Show system', so Media Storage is listed).

- reboot and wait for Android to reindex all your media

The current PPA package has a problem with 16.04. I need to look into it and update it.

In the meantime if you want to upgrade your distro you can uninstall BubbleUPnP Server, install 16.04

and use the zip download of BubbleUPnP Server.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=8254262]taimei[/MENTION]

Yup, known annoyance. List position is preserved except here because playlist is entirely reloaded each time.

Will see if it is easily fixable.

No plan for this as it would add quite a bit of complexity. I suggest you name your playlists "Group - playlist name" as a workaround.

Hi, I have an issue using 0.9-update24 .

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=2003963]gundox[/MENTION];

First, make sure BubbleUPnP Server is seen by Android BubbleUPnP in Settings > Chromecast.

If that's the case, send me the BubbleUPnP Server log file (on Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\BubbleUPnPServer\BubbleUPnPServer.log.0) after attempting to play such MKA to your Chromecast.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Assuming you have the HLS stream in the Playlist tab, you'd have to add it to a Saved Playlist (3-dot menu on item > Add to Saved Playlist).

Then on the PS4 using the Media Player app, Browse BubbleUPnP to this saved playlist and try to play the item.

I don't know if the PS4 can play HLS via UPnP so there is no guarantee that the PS4 will play the item or even list it at all.

Try any or all of these:

Make sure BubbleUPnP Server and your Chromecast are on the same network.

Try rebooting your WiFi router and Chromecast.
