Looking into post 9332 I think this is the problem. I'm on a Qobuz mp3 subscribtion too and Bubbleupnp asks for flac according to the error message. Can I do anything to change this?

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

Finaly got Qobuz streaming! I tried to set up Aries in uPnP mode before without succes. Now I tought to restart Bubble UPnP Server after changing the Aries to uPnP mode. After restarting I could activate Aries UPnP as OpenHome server. With Aries UPnP OpenHome as renderer I could finaly play Qobuz mp3 tracks :laugh::good:

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, that's the problem: when playing to an OpenHome renderer not having OH Qobuz support (such as the Aries in Lighning mode),

BubbleUPnP doesn't take into account the subscription type. Could be considered a bug although it concerns only a handful of OH renderers (and the majority of Qobuz subscriptions are Hi-Fi, thus not an issue in that case).

BubbleUPnP Server's managed OpenHome renderers do not have this issue, because OH Qobuz is supported, with its own logic taking into account the subscription type.
[Android Apps and Games] jaaptina:
I'm glad this is sorted out. The only reason I would use Aries in Lightning mode is that's the only mode that supports Airplay. I'll ask Auralic to add Airplay to the uPnP mode too :). Thanks.

Openhome renderer for Chromecast Audio Group

Bubbleupnp is playing well to openhome renderers for single access points, or chromecast audio devices/groups.

However, if I try to select an openhome version of a chromecast audio group (the openhome renderer created by the latest bubbbleupnpserver) then the audio only comes out of one CCA in the group.

Are there any workarounds for this?

BubbleUPnP won't allow Tidal login

I am running BubbleUPnP v2.6.2 on a Samsung Tab S 8.4. I have been streaming Tidal through the app for 3 weeks or so without a hitch. Now, however, when I select Tidal from the Library it asks me to login but won't allow me to enter a password. It is pointing me to Tidal website to create an account. For some reason in fact, it is pointing to Tidal France (I am in the US).

I can run the Tidal app itself without a problem. I thought about uninstalling one app or the other. I am reluctant to do so since I have playlists in each. Any suggestions or ideas or help troubleshooting greatly appreciated

DVD subtitles ignored by BubbleUPnP Server

When playing mkv files with dvd subtitles in them, the subtitle cannot be selected anymore in the BubbleUPnP app. There is a warning "ignoring unmanaged codec type: subtitle" in the bubbleupnpserver log file instead.

Mkv files with blu ray (pgs) subtitles or text (srt) work as expected: subtitles are not ignored but included in the transcoded stream, and can be selected in the app.

Mkv with dvd subtitle log: http://pastebin.com/yd28eQnp

Mkv with blu ray subtitle log: http://pastebin.com/U1EFYqcu
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Normally it should work.

BubbleUPnP Server has no idea it is playing to a group nor does it have to care about it as it is transparently handled by CCA firmwares. What happen if you play to that group in Android BubbleUPnP but to the group as a regular Google Cast device (not the OpenHome one) ? In that case also it should work transparently.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I've fixed the http link pointing to the TIDAL french site for the next update, thanks for the report.

What do you mean by 'won't allow me to enter a password' ? That you cannot enter a password at all in the textfield, or that login always

fail when you enter your login/password ? Make sure you enter your login with the correct case.
[Android Apps and Games] gwapenut:
From BubbleUpnP (registered version) I can play to the non-openhome group and it all works properly. But if I select the openhome version of the group, the only the first speaker I registered to that group in the Google Cast app ever plays. This seems to be consistent behaviour for me over quite a few weeks.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Image-based subtitles (dvd subs) are discarded during transcoding. I do not exactly remember why.

Maybe because keeping them make the transcode fail. I will have to check to see if they can be kept.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Weird. I'll have to get a second CCA to test it.

No more Qobuz in 0.9-update19

Hi,

I updated bubbleUpnp Server to the last version (0.9-update19 on Debian Jessie) and since then, under media renderers tab, I only have Tidal settings (maximum audio quality), no more access to Qobuz... Obviously, Qobuz is not available anymore in Kazoo or Lumin apps.

My media renderer runs on the same board (UDOO quad) using mpd and upmpdci.

Thanks for your help,

Tito
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thank you for the report.

Restart BubbleUPnP Server and it will work.

Tidal login

:laugh:

A bit od operator error. I put in my username and if I hit 'Next' or tried to put the cursor in the Password field it looked like I was blocked. The field was greed out and I saw no cursor. Finally I just typed and it took my password so I'm off and running. I have no idea what happened in the first place to require my password.

Greatest app btw, I get a lot of utility from it. My one wish is to have direct access to Internet radio. Maybe there's a way I haven't found yet?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can send stations to BubbleUPnP from the TuneIn app, using the Share button from its now playing screen (you'll have to play the station for that).

Once the station is in the BubbleUPnP Playlist tab, you can add it to a 'Saved Playlist' to play it later easily whithout needing to send it from TuneIn.
[Android Apps and Games] Dreamweaver:
The Yamaha also has Internet Radio which works. If I switch to another DLNA Renderer it works (Openelec on Pi2).
[Android Apps and Games] jaaptina:
I looked into Settings > Local Media Server > Qobuz and found the mp3 setting. I had not seen this setting before and hoped with this setting Qobuz would stream mp3 files with Aries Mini in Lightning mode. But still Qobuz mp3 streams won't play. And I get error message "unable to play track ... .flac". If you could look into this sometime it would be great. Until then I'll use the Aries in uPnP mode and Bubble uPnP OpenHome renderer.

Subtitle loading problem with deleted directory

Hi,

I'm using BubbleUPnP version 2.6.3p5 and I'm having a problem loading subtitles from other folder other than the folder containing the video file.

The problem started after I deleted the latest folder I put a subtitle file in. Now every time I try to load a new subtitle, I think BubbleUPnP tries to open the deleted folder and all I see is that the file manager window open and closes by itself in less than a second. So now the only way I can load a subtitle now is renaming it to the exact name of the video file and putting it in the same folder as the video file.

Can you please fix this?

If BubbleUPnP cannot find the latest folder used, then it should go to the root directory, not keep trying to open the deleted folder every time.

Thanks.

Support for CaskeId products?

I use 2 pure jongos, which allow me to stream to both speakers in sync (they can even create stereo pairs!), Peaq Munet is an alternate product using the same tech (they can interoperate even, according to the internet). Having BubbleUPnPServer providing a grouped renderer that then starts rendering on multiple CaskeId speakers would be a great feature. The guys developing FEHM (a home automation platform) already figured out the control, including the creation of multi-room setups and simple send to all speakers commands, so if you would like to have a peak (or peaq), this thread on their (german) forum (hmm, not yet allowed to post links, search for "Thema: 98_DLNARenderer.pm (UPnP) (zuvor 98_DLNAClient.pm)" and go to page 1 of the thread) has perl scripts for the DLNA integration with CaskeId. Interested?
[Android Apps and Games] dbibby88:
Hi, I'm new to the forum and looking for some advice regarding this app.

I bought and installed this app from google play store after reading several reviews online that the app allows you to stream music from your phone to your PS4.

I use Google Play Music to stream music from my Samsung phone and tablet; However after a few minutes of streaming the app to my PS4 I soon realised that playback was skipping to the next song within a minute or two. After the player skips 3 or 4 songs (usually around a minute or less) the playback stops altogether. This is whilst I am playing games offline or playing them online.

I have also tried to stream playlists that I have downloaded on to my phone, but I am not 100% sure they are streaming from my phone or from the Google Play Music server.

Is their anything I can do to make playback not skip?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, David.

The srt file picker spans the stock Android filechooser. There was a bug like you describe in beta version of Android Lollipop and that I even reported.

I cannot reproduce it: the filechooser normally opens on the last opened folder, but if that folder was deleted, it opens on the 'Recents' folder.

I have no control over what it does as it is a system component. What is your version of Android ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I had multiple reports of this issue but I have never been able to reproduce it on my setup.

I think it may be network dependent but the cause is rather mysterious.

Does it still happen if you are not playing games at the same time gmusic is playing ?

The PS4 is one of the pickiest renderer ever, failing with an error when there is the slightest thing it doesn't like.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, the 'Audio Quality' setting is not used as well when playing to standalone OH renderers. Not sure I will fix this as this affects only a handful of OH renderers (+ happens only with a mp3 subscription), and using BubbleUPnP Server is a better solution anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Difficult to say what the problem is.

Maybe this renderer via UPnP refuses to play streams that do not have a local network ip address.
[Android Apps and Games] dbibby88:
I have just tried listening to a song from the Media Player window on the PS4 and the song played through fine. I then went on to a game and the next song played all the way through but when it got to the sond after that it stopped around 10-15 seconds. I tried holding the PS button to bring up the quick menu and pressing play on the song that had stopped but it wouldn't play again. To continue play I have to skip to the next song. Weirdly, this is the longest Ive ever got the music to play on the ps4, usually it plays like I originally stated.

It might be a wild stab in the dark but has it got anything to do with Android going to sleep? I've had a similar problem in the past with streaming to a Chromecast. Playlists would stream up until the phone went to sleep and then the next song refused to play.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Are you able to play several tracks in a row without issue, with the PS4 not doing anything else ?

I must say I never tested playing gmusic while playing a game, but will do to check how it goes.

Normally not, as BubbleUPnP prevents the phone from sleeping when streaming and keep WiFi in a performance state.

But even with this, it might not work as told depending on ROMs, battery saving apps, WiFi firmware bugs, ...

You can verify it, forcing the screen to stay on during testing.

Also, on a computer, you can start a continous ping command to ping your phone ip address and check if ping is slow or unresponding after

a while when the screen is off.
[Android Apps and Games] dbibby88:
Ill try this tonight when I get home from work.

I just noticed something else that was a little odd. Whilst the PS4 was still streaming music from Bubbleupnp I went to the Media Player app on the PS4 and Bubbleupnp wasnt in the list. The PS4 was telling me to insert a USB or DVD for playback.

So its almost as if the PS4 'forgot' the app was streaming. I had to go back to my phone and close the Bubbleupnp and open it again for the PS4 was able to discover it again.

And another little thing I have noticed is that if the player skips a song, playing the same song again will cause it to skip at a different time to when the first playthrough skipped.

I have an AT&T Galaxy S6 and sadly I'm in Android 5.1.1 waiting for AT&T to bring the Marshmallow update.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thank you for the report. Reproduced it. It's inoffensive and happens only once when updating from a previous version.

Still, I'm uploading a 2.6.3.1 fixed version.
[Android Apps and Games] dbibby88:
Just a quick update.

I tried the bubbleupnp stream to my PS4 yesterday but this time from my tablet. Im almost certain my issues are to do with the device going to sleep.

No songs skipped during playback yesterday until I unlocked my tablet. I literally got the player to play around 10 songs without it skipping at all. Once I unlocked my tablet the player automatically skipped to the next song. I tried this several times to see if I could repeat it and after letting my tablet go to sleep sure enough it happened every time.

This could explain why my phone skips a lot more as I'm usually checking text messages/emails etc. quite frequently. And the screen wakes up every time I get a notification.
[Android Apps and Games] padawan_lp:
Any idea why this is happening? I tried it on my Nexus 5 with Android Marshmallow and it happened too. So, not only on my Galaxy S6 with Android 5.1.1.

Tried to do a little bit of a search, but with 1000+ pages, it's difficult to look for my specific problem. I apologize if it has been covered.

I have all my music and movies stored on a WD 4tb NAS drive. When I pull up the app, even though all movies are MP4, some are stored in my shared music folder and some are stored in my shared videos folders. All the movies are located in the videos folder on the drive itself. The videos listed in the music folder won't stream to my chromecast either. Also, do I need to be on my home network for it to work on the road even though the drive is set up as a cloud?

Any info is appreciated. TIA

Bose Sound Touch as a media renderer

Hello,

last week i bought a Bose Soundtouch device, and i was amazed that this device is the only one in my home environment that isn't working with the Bubble app as a media renderer if the bubble app is the controller. The soundtouch system accept only the Bose app as a DLNA controller.

If i try to play something with the Bose renderer, the connection to the bubble app timed out and the soundtouch need a reboot.

Hobbes analyzed this issue on the Bose community page (sorry i can't send the link google: Hobbes UPNP/DLNA Renderer support )

[INDENT]The problem is a UPNP controller sets the CurrentURI node like this:
.... you can see the dump on the bose page ...

The Bose development team is very slow and i think it is hopeless to wait for a fix.

And here is my question:

If it is possible to make a interop tweak for the soundtouch media renderer.

I am a software developer and i can help to deploy/debug this issue (tcpdump, ssh tunnel to my soundtouch)

It would be very nice to control the soundtouch with the bubble app because the bose app is very rudimentary

regards

hamstiede
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can change it in Settings > Local Media Server > Audio Quality. The default is 44.1/16 for everything.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
In the Now Playing tab, verify that repeat track is not enabled (the button just right to the 'next track' button).

Also verify that your Squeezebox itself has not a repeat mode toggled on.

Other than that, you can try to reboot it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. Yes: Settings > Control > Youtube quality. You will not be to select higher than 720p because 1080p and above use MPEG-DASH which is not supported by most renderers.

2. Not it is not possible. Even if it was, there would be way too much latency (vs doing the same thing with Google Cast or Miracast).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP displays videos in the folders the media server running on the NAS presents them.

For your videos that won't play, maybe the media server exposes a dead link. You could look into doing a reset of the UPnP media server

running on it or trigger a full rescan if possible.

To access your NAS media server from outside your home network, you must connect to it in Android BubbleUPnP using BubbleUPnP Server.
[Android Apps and Games] bsmith1051:
I just discovered this app and I love it. It is by far the best DLNA control-point app out there. (I purchased a license, too.)

Quick question, and I apologize if this has already been asked -- I tried searching, I really did:

If I have the default tap-action set as 'Enqueue' is there any way for the playlist to automatically start playing the first selection? Currently, I have to select my first song, then manually start the playback. I know that's still easy but I'm aiming for 100% WAF here.

I also tried 'enqueue and play' but then each subsequent selection bumped the previous.

Also, I sometimes have an issue where I'll browse to the contents of an album and single-click just one track, then find that the entire album has been enqueued starting with the first track (not my selected track). Any idea what's going on there? My server is LMS 7.7.2 on W7 with the built-in DLNA disabled and WhiteBear installed instead.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There is no action "Enqueue, and play if Playlist is empty". I could make the enqueue action do that but it is inevitably going to annoy someone else.

When the Playlist is empty, if you want to play the initial added tracks you must either long-click the first track and select "Play", or multi-select several tracks (sliding their title towards the right) and use the Play button in the top action bar.

This should not happen unless Settings > Item tap action is set to "Enqueue all items"
[Android Apps and Games] mtr33:
Great app bubbleguuum. Was using Upnplay but this looks like a definite improvement. One question though: I have most of my albums converted to single file flacs on my network PC (sharing through foobar). The app 'sees' all tracks in the album/file, but when I select a track it always plays the first track on the album. With multiple flac-albums in the same folder it even plays the first track of the forst album. Am I missing anything in configuration or is there another explanation?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If you're tapping a track to initiate playback, check the "Item tap action" setting. It looks like it is set to "Play all items". Change it to "Play tapped item" if this is what you want to do.
[Android Apps and Games] mtr33:
Thanks, that was it. I suppose there is no way to browse a library, select a file to start playing & continu playing all files in the folder (as in foobar)? When in a playlist this works, but not in the library?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Indeed, tracks must be added to the Playlist (eg the playback queue) for them to play.
[Android Apps and Games] mtr33:
Yup, that's what i figured. Long pressing a folder and selecting enqueue & play seems to do the trick.
[Android Apps and Games] DukeHarris:
Hey there,

first of all: really great app! Im using it for a few months now as a control point between my Homeserver and my WD TV Live... works great so far...

But I have 2 questions:

- Is there a possibility to tell bubbleUPnP to only enqueue Audio files for playback? I have some album covers between my audio files and everytime bubble "plays" such an image file, I have to resume the playback manually...

- In the first post you mentioned that there is a possibility to shuffle the whole library.. How do I do that? Do i have to add the whole library to the playlist first or am I missing an option for this?

Thanks!

DukeHarris
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for reporting, it is a bug: when a folder contains both images and audio tracks, images are filtered out when you hit the play button but not enqueue. Will fix in next version.

This feature only works if your Media Server support UPnP search and is not too slow at it. You know it supports it if the "Random Tracks" virtual folder works.

You enable Library Shuffle on the now playing screen, cycling the shuffle modes. When supported it is the mode just after "Shuffle Playlist". Once enabled, just hit next to start the first random track.

Any suggestion on a media server

Bubblebuuum,

Since Plex Media Server is not working for me, and I have written to their support forum, but got no response, I am thinking about switching. Any good suggestion? I run a synology Nas but for whatever reason, I can never get their media server to work. I got the bubbleupnp to find the server but no files can ever be detected. It tried different clients, and to no avail.

Thanks.

I second the idea of being able to disable album art. I'd rather not have any overhead when looking through a list of artist/albums (whether http or sdcard access). I like seeing the art after I click on an album and when it is playing, but don't find it useful in a long list (I have about 40 GB of music on my server). Plus, only about 30% of my albums have art anyway so the little "missing" image is definitely something I won't miss.

Otherwise awesome program! I have 4 droid's hidden around my house acting as renderers and a server in the basement. Then use my own droid and xoom as control points. Works great just a little slow in long lists.
