Hi again! :-)

I am testing some other DLNA servers: TVersity and Mezzmo. When I browse from my tv in their upnp libraries, I can see the flac and ogg files and they transcode them on the fly, my tv plays them ok. But when I browse throught bubbleupnp and select the same files, I get " unsupported format" on my tv. Why tversity or mezzmo don't transcode (through bubbleupnp) as fooupnp does ? Is it the same problem that the tv dosn't signal the wav dlna ability?
[Android Apps and Games] misiek_to_ja:
OK, I hope you will get access to some XBox360 in some time :) I think many people have situation similar to mine. I have some TV sets that are network enabled, so I can browse DLNA/UPnP servers directly using the TV software, but some people also have TVs that are not network enabled, os the best option here is to use your game console to play/watch files from DLNA/UPnP server :)

Sorry, let me be more clear here. If I use my TV software to browse my phone content through BubbleUPnP Media Server I basically get following list:

Videos

Images

Music

Filesystem

If I choose Videos and go to my DCIM directory I can only see 70 video files (I counted it), so even though I have files numbered from VIDEO0001 to VIDEO0332, I can only see files VIDEO0262 to VIDEO0332. But if I choose the Filesystem option and go to DCIM directory then I get nothing (empty directory). What is interesting Filesystem option works for other video directories that hold smaller number of files. I don't think it is the problem with TV software as it happens on two TV sets (Sony and Samsung) and if I copy the same DCIM directory to my HTPC running PS3 Media Server or Mezzmo than it shows all the files. So for me it seems like a BubbleUPnP issue.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is in the todo list. Would be good to have for completeness

Thanks for the detail. It is now much clearer. Can you tell me what is the file extension of these VIDEO files ?

When browsing by filesystem, the server discards (don't list) any file it doesn't recognize (based on file extension), as it imperatively needs an associated mime-type. So it is very well possible these VIDEO files are discarded due to an unmanaged file extension (that I can easily add).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
When you browse TVersity or Mezzmo from the TV, these media servers probably use an appropriate profile associated to this TV, thus transcoding unsupported formats.

When you browse these servers from BubbleUPnP, at least the latest version of Mezzmo will use its own BubbleUPnP profile (because BubbleUPnP is also a renderer) that specify that BubbleUPnP is able to play FLAC and OGG, thus no transcoding.

The target Media Server when browsed by a Control Point has no way to know the target renderer the browsed items will be played on. foo_upnp (the latests version) address this issue by adding 2 additional URL (WAV/16/44.1 and LPCM/16/44.1) one of which is guaranteed to be compatible with all renderers. Now if you configure TVersity and Mezzmo to use your TV's profile when being browsed by BubbleUPnP it should work. Or find an option in them to always add compatible stream URLs.

Btw can you tell me the model name of your TV (in the Devices tab, long-click on the TV -> Model name) ?
[Android Apps and Games] misiek_to_ja:
Hi,

You are absolutely right ! I just noticed that all files until VIDEO0261 are .3gp files and after I did an upgrade to 4.0.3 it uses .mp4 file extension by default. So it seems it only shows .mp4 files, not .3gp files. Just for clarity - I'm able to play both .mp4 and .3gp files from within my phone, so both file types are "playable".
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, I confirm .3gp files are not listed. Will fix for next version.
[Android Apps and Games] akispavlopoulos:
Very clear explaination! Thank you very much!

OK. Under Model name: MediaRenderer.

But the name of my tv is LM620S-ZE.

BubbleUPnP Server only supports ipv4 as well as Android BubbleUPnP. Not sure why you cannot connect using ipv4 on the Android side.

There is a new up to date rpm for recent 64-bit Red Hat:

https://github.com/noohgnas/bubbles...ad/0.9/bubbleserver-0.9.update25-1.x86_64.rpm

You can also try to rebuild the RPM from source:

The log shows that BubbleUPnP cannot bind to the the Google Play Store app used for validation. This is highly unusual.

Could be cause by a root app interfering, especially with permissions.

Amazon Prime Music and Amazon Cloud Drive are entirely different services. Amazon does not make the former accessible to third party apps.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=6448029]b4rgh3st[/MENTION]

if you want to run the BubbleUPnP as media server permanently you will need to disable 'Settings > Control > Kill on inactivity' and have your Android device always plugged to power. Note that Android may still occasionally kill BubbleUPnP if it gets low on RAM.

Playing Video Dropbox to Chromecast - Long Pause Causes Playback to Fail

If I am playing a video file from Dropbox to Chromecast, if I pause the playback for more than a minute or so, when I continue with the playback shortly after continuing the playback fails.

Any way to enable a long pause without causing this problem?

Video Zoom Function When Rendering With Cromechast

I was so impressed by this app i bought it after a 1st try. Says enough about the effort that is putt in to the development of this superb application. Keep up the good work!

I have one suggestion though..

Is it possible to add a ZOOM option that when playing a video, via rendering to chromecast, the video size is manually adjustable?

Just like the "Size -" & "Size +" options in "change subtitles appearance" erea.

That whould be great since i always zoom in via my tv settings when watching movies, dont like upper and low black bars when watching something.

Would be great if this feature could also be integrated within the app.

Thanks in advance,

Love from Holland

Hi!

Does anybody know a way to stream photos stored in an album on Flickr to a TV?

Best regards, Müsli
[Android Apps and Games] angry_cowtipper:
Annoying problem

So this app works great, and I sometimes use it to stream music from my phone to my PC which is plugged into my stereo/TV. It can go for about half an album, before it seemingly disconnects, and the music stops. And I'll have to refresh the "other libraries" section in Windows Media Player (using Windows 10, btw), at which point Bubble reappears, and everything in the playlist's playtimes re-fill in and I can resume where I left off. Is this something I can fix in the app, to tell it to stay connected to other devices indefinitely?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=4022233]ronwi2[/MENTION]

Will look into but the cause of this kind of problem is usually the http server (Dropbox) having a low disconnection timeout if the client (Chromecast) does not read data for a while.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=7121826]Adilost[/MENTION]

Noted your request but no promise it will be added.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is not possible for technical and practical reasons.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=7331977]angry_cowtipper[/MENTION]

Could be an intermittent WiFi disconnection issue. This can be difficult to troubleshoot. If you wish, you can send me a log file,

playing tracks until the disconnect. See first post of this topic for logging instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=3681420]muesli79[/MENTION]

Not familiar with Flickr apps but if the app you use allows to select multiple photos and share/send them to another app, you could try that, selecting BubbleUPnP as the target app.
[Android Apps and Games] muesli79:
Thanks for your reply. Flickr seems to send photos toBubbleUPnP in a way BubbleUPnP can't open. Anyway thanks for that hint. Maybe I should switch to Google Photos which is supported by BubbleUPnP...

I am trying to use neutron player as renderer controlled from BubbleUPnP and there are various problems.

Searching at the neutron forum someone else also reported problems when using BubbleUPnP, minimserver (which is also my setup) and neutron as renderer. Here's the answer he got from the dev:

"Hi, thank you for the comments!

Was testing Neutron's UPnP Renderer with 'JRiver Media Center' which truly works as gapless UPnP controller app, e.g. it calls NextAVTransportURI() with a next track and Neutron plays it in gapless mode (or it can do it with Crossfading if Crossfade is active).

I was checking that with BubbleUPnP Android app as UPnP controller but it does not call NextAVTransportURI() and thus gapless behavior is actually impossible in such situation."

[MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION] would you care to comment?

Need help on video format for Chromecast

Hi!

First of all, sorry for my bad english.

Introduction: I'm trying to play my local file on chromecast with the Bubbleupnp app but I receive an error about unsuported media.

Informations about my setup:

My phone : Lg G3

My Dlna server : My Book Live connected to my router

My chromecast: Brand new Chromecast Ultra

Information about files that doesn't work: .avi files converted to .mp4 with Wondershare Video Converter ultimate (H264 / AAC).

Other informations:

-I can play the .mp4 file to chromecast with LocalCast app but doesn't work with Bubbleupnp.

-The video format is 'UNKNOWN' for videos converted with Wondershare and MP4 of any other video not converted.

-All other files compatible with chromecast are working.

Since I'm new here, I cant send external link wqith my reddit post for this probleme. But searh for the thread "Need help on video format for Chromecast" in the chromecast subreddit.

Any help would be pretty nice. I want to use bubble su much cause its actually the best app with all features I want.

Thanks

Quick question regarding BubbleUPnP-Server: If the server is correctly started and running (in my case FreeBSD as OS), what is the correct way to stop or restart the application again? I found a button on the GUI, but I'd like a way on CLI to gracefully restart the app (for example in the case of an automated change of the certificates). The only way I found is to "kill" it.
[Android Apps and Games] awaldram:
Hi BubbleGuuum,

Long time since I posted but still using BubbleUpnp :) works great .

Recently been looking at hardware h264 encoding/decoding using the GPU on a rasbserry pi.

Very successful and have working FFmpeg but you only appear to support Nvidea and Intel any chance of adding Pi ?

A command line that would utilise Hardware encode/decode in h264 for video on the pi would be

./ffmpeg -c:v h264_mmal -i <inputfile.mp4> -c:v h264_omx -c:a copy -b:v 1500k <outputfile.mp4>

further info can be found here

https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_...rdware_accelerated_x264_encoding_with_ffmpeg/

Also your transcoder test looks for libx264 which in the case of small arm cortex is pretty pointless (though I am busy compiling with it to get past this 'test'). maybe you could expand the test for h264 capability not just the software encoder.?

oh My ffmpeg is compiled with the following options

./configure --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-mmal --enable-omx --enable-omx-rpi --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libx264

Not sure how you are starting BubbleUPnP Server on FreeBSD (whether you use init scripts, upstart or systemd to start services)

Anyway you can gracefully stop BubbleUPnP Server by sending SIGTERM to its Java process:

kill -15 <pid of java process>

You can also manually 'soft restart' BubbleUPnP Server via its web UI. It will entirely reread configuration, including certs.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for letting me know about the hw transcoding ability of the rpi. I'm noting it, although no promise it will make it.

As a workaround you could make a ffmpeg shell script that would be called BubbleUPnP Server in place of the real ffmpeg binary and would

modify the passed arguments with arguments you mentionned.

Hi Bubbleguuum, I'm using Bubbleupnp server on a Mac. I'm trying to stream Tidal to my Roku Soundbridge. Playback works, but is at about 1.5x speed. Any idea what could be wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=8474990]WilcoFT[/MENTION]

Depends if the Roku plays the stream as is (either FLAC or AAC depending on settings) if it supports it, or if BubbleUPnP Server is serving a PCM stream in which case and assuming the conversion to PCM is proper, it could be a Roku bug as well.

I doubt there is an issue in BubbleUPnP Server generating a PCM stream but you can send me (bubbleguuum@free.fr) the BubbleUPnP Server log file if you wish, after playing a problematic track to your Roku: /Library/Application\ Support/BubbleUPnPServer/BubbleUPnPServer.log.0

update - transcoded 60 sec .ogg files truncated to 46 secs

Hi Bubbleguuum,

I've done a little more testing ... I created a test .ogg file that is exactly 60 seconds long. If you play it to the Roberts Radio Stream 93i, it's reported by the radio as being 46 seconds long and the track ends prematurely 14 seconds before it should.

Next, instead of sending to the radio I only use the bubbleupnp app on android along with mxplayer to play the proxied wav transcode of the ogg file, mxplayer also reports the track as 46 seconds long and stops playing 14 seconds before it should.

I've emailed you the bubbleupnp log file that covers the duration of the track from start to finish.

Regards

Nick
[Android Apps and Games] royalh:
I had the same problem using latest google play version. took me 2 days and myltiple rom reinstalls to figure out it was Xposed related. Then a matter of minutes to isolate the problem to this app.

Even if not casting anything this problem happens:

When playing music through BeyondPod or samsung music app, I receive or make a phone call. when call ends, I try to restart music playback and nothing happens. BeyondPod won't even start playback. I then go in to the phone dialer settings and try to change the ringtone and receive unable to play while on call error message. Funny enough, Neutron media player will start playback, however sounds come through earpiece speaker and not external speaker. same for system sounds and notification sounds - all play (if they play at all) through the earpiece and not external.

I ended up uninstalling app.

Seems to me that BubbleUnPnP is holding some kind of media stream lock lock since most apps still think the phone is in a phone call state.

Would love to try app once this is resolved...

Hello Everybody!

Well, I'm trying to set up BubbleUPnP server on my Mac and it's not being successful so far. It installed fine but I'm getting errors on the HTTP and HTTPS ports. I opened them both up in my router settings and it's still showing the same error but I'm noticing something. I noticed that in the Status window it's showing the LAN IP address. I'm doing this all via WiFi. Is this why it's still showing an error? Hopefully, this isn't too stupid a question. Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] therealsteelskin:
You've opened up 58050/58051 in the router but have you opened ports 58050 & 58051 in the MACs firewall or allowed bubbleupnp as a specific application ?

I'm not sure what you mean by the LAN address, on a working bubbleupnp server both the Public and LAN IP addresses are displayed.

[MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION] Please remove the filter from playlists, that stream urls need to start with http(s), and include also rtmp links. It doesnt matter to me if the app cant handle internaly rtmp streams (it should though), but it's a nice way to save playlists like that, because, oh wonder oh wonder, the stupid mx player STILL does not support to save favorites... how can that even be possible...

Is there a way to activate licence on the new Fire TV Stick? I have the app sideloaded but can't sideload the licence from my phone, nor install it via amazon underground as the app suggests (not available on the stick?). Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=5943704]stayloa[/MENTION]

The app is not listed on the FireTV because the UI is not really adapted for the big screen with D-PAD controls, and would be rejected by Amazon.

Another way to have it running would be to sideload the Google Play version APK and test it to check if it is usable for your needs. Then you could afterwards sideload Google Play on your FireTV and use the Google Play license.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=3058841]mkdr[/MENTION]

BubbleUPnP cannot handle rtmp URLs. Very few renderers support it anyway. Still allowing rtmp URLs would cause unforeseen problems in various part of the app, that's why there are filtered out.
[Android Apps and Games] mkdr:
It opens videos in an extern player like mx player anyway, so it MAKES sense to allow them. I totally see NO problem at all to extend the filter to starts with http, https AND rtmp.
[Android Apps and Games] slimshouki:
Is it possible to stream mkv with sub and idx and not srt!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Not possible as idx is an image based subtitle format. I suggest choosing sub in app with OpenSubtitles.org if possible.
[Android Apps and Games] slimshouki:
Unfortunately not possible. Is there a way to hardcode subtitles without re encoding to avoid quality loss
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Nope as image based subs must be burned into the video, thus requiring a transcode, which BubbleUPnP Server does not support. However, it seems there are subtitle tools that can convert image subs to text subs using OCR so you might want to look into that.

Not sure if this is a bug or intented behaviour but my Media Renderer configuration is not preserved in case power outage on android device.

My steps to reproduce:

1) tick "Create a DLNA renderer" for Google Home,

2) hard unplug the cable from your android device hosting "BubbleUPnP Server" << imitate power outage

3) plug the cable again and run android

4) check "BubbleUPnP Server" configurtation. "Create a DLNA renderer" is not ticket for my google home << BUG

EXPECTED: the configuration should be preserved in case power outage and restored after reboot.

Can anyone confirm if this is indeed a bug or intentended behaviour that this configuration is not preserved ?
[Android Apps and Games] Crwys:
Is there any way to choose between local transcoding and server transcoding? For example:

One person wants to transcode from their phone and stream,

the other wants to use the server to transcode (Their phone isn't powerful enough)\

(Computer isn't powerful enough to do 2 videos at the same time. )

I know you can turn off the server and it allows local transcoding but what if there are like 4 devices that want to use a mix of local and server transcoding.

Incorrect bit-depth and sample-freq and album-Art

[MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION]

Hello

When playing a file of Android Local Libray, bit-depth and sample-freq are not displayed correctly.

If play the same file from MinimServer on Mac, bit-depth and sample-freq displayed correctly.

I will attach a screenshot of playing 24bit/96kHz flac file. (Please prefix "https://")

- Android Local Libray

image.ibb.co/erLSxQ/Android_Loacal_Library.png

- MinimServer on Mac

image.ibb.co/k3FGrk/minim_Server.png

If I save each track as a playlist of BubbleUPnP, Android Local Libray file has no items of "bitsPerSample" and "sampleFrequency".

Android local --> <res protocolInfo="http-get:*:audio/x-flac:DLNA.ORG_OP=01;DLNA.ORG_FLAGS=01700000000000000000000000000000" bitrate="295554" size="169372327" duration="0:09:34.000"></res>
MinimServer --> <res protocolInfo="http-get:*:audio/x-flac:DLNA.ORG_OP=01;DLNA.ORG_FLAGS=01700000000000000000000000000000" bitsPerSample="24" bitrate="576000" sampleFrequency="96000" nrAudioChannels="2" size="169372327" duration="0:09:33.000"></res>

Is it possible to fix that the correct bit-depth and sample-freq are displayed when playing a file of Android Local Libray?

Also, when saving as a playlist of BubbleUPnP, some song's album-Art is displayed different album-Art. (that is another song's album-Art)

When I confirm albumArtURI in the playlist file, albumArtURI of another song is set.

Can you guess what is the cause of this problem?

Is there any possibility of this problem occurring when album-Art's pixel size is too large?
