Nice work fixing the mono bug on high resolution audio! Well done!!!!!

Fixing this bug has put this app completely over the top, so my hat goes off to you :).

I do have a feature request. Now that you've implemented SoX, I'd love to see SoX implemented on the server side as well, with an option to downsample to 16/44 or 16/48 when appropriate (appropriate being anything higher than 16/48, sampled accordingly, e.g. 24/96 to 16/48 and 24/88 to 16/44 also 24/192 to 16/48 and 24/176 to 16/44). Streaming FLAC at 16bit over 4G works awesome in my area, and would love to see this implemented!

Thanks for all your efforts, this is my most used Android app :).

EDIT: Also would like to see the option return for disabling the Local Media Server, as I never use it, and have to manually switch from it to my UPnP server if it isn't discovered immediately, which is nagging. Also, when downloading music that I'd like transcoded to my device over WiFi, it just downloads the files without any transcoding. FYI, this feature works as intended over a mobile network.

Bugs after the last update

Hello,

I just upgraded that great soft, but since I can't see my Samsung TV anymore. I only see the "Local Renderer"

Running android 4.1.2 on Samsung Galaxy S3.

TV is Samsung UE46ES7000

I rebooted Phone, TV, uninstalled BubbleUpnp... Nothing, I can't see my TV anymore, while I still see my 2 "minidlnad" libraries (on Linux servers).

In the meantime, is there a way to get the 1.7.2 Version to test if it fixes it ?

[ EDIT ]

Forget it, I tried with version on this site : newapk.us/2013/09/bubbleupnp-1-7-2.html and it didn't fix. Maybe it's my TV.

[/EDIT]

Keep up the good work !

Adrien.

ALAC support

Hi.

For what I understand, BubbleUPNP has its own decoder for supporting ALAC. But when I try to play a ALAC file, the progress bar advances but I get no sound, whereas MP3s work perfectly, and transcoding ALAC to WAV works kind-of-OK (I stream from a Western Digital MyBook Live NAS, and apparently, transcoding is quite CPU intensive for it, because the playback takes a while to start).

My renderers are some Android boxes (Minix Neo X5 and X5 mini) and a Galaxy Note I. Neither manages to play either local or NAS-served ALAC files.

I really want to implement my DLNA/AirPlay infrastructure with Bubblesoft, because it's a so well-rounded suite, and it supports OpenHome (I come from a Squeezebox background, and these lack of shared playlists and the need to keep the control point on are really a sad case for DLNA).

But can I really decode ALAC at my renderers? Could it be some weird incompatibility with my original encoder or something like that?

(I know, I could be doing FLAC, but then again, we also have Macs and iDevices).

UPDATE: just noticed there is an update. Already installed on my Galaxy Note. No changes on the subject.

Mise à jour

J'ai mis à jour Bubble sur mon S3 et depuis les WMAs "lossless" protégés sont joués parfaitement ! Le "OpenHome" WDTVlive" est toujours très long à s'afficher dans "Renderers" et malheureusement le problème avec Linn Kinsky est toujours présent. Je ne sais pas comment vous êtes parvenu à le faire synchroniser avec les listes de lectures mis en cache dans BubbleUpNP server. Hormis ça, il n'y strictement rien à redire. Encore bravo !
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Try to reboot your WiFi router.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Are your ALAC files 24 bits ? 24 bit ALAC is not supported.

If these are regular 16 bits files (even high-res) they should play. Can you send me a log file recorded on the device doing the playback (see first post of this topic fo details).

In any case, doing transcoding to WAV on the media server side is the best option if you can, as it is less CPU intensive and preserve gapless (wth Android 4.1+) if you need it.

no Title and/or Interpret by webradiostreaming

hi @ all,

when i stream a webradiostation i can't see the interpret and/or the title.

in xialive i have the informtation.

what can i do to see these infonrmatins in bubble too?

i hope someone can help me, thx.

using bubble 1.7.2.2 with license

maikel
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes I see what you mean. I'll see if I can add an option for that.

You can't disable it but you can hide it (in the Devices tab, long-click on local media server > Hide, then Filter > Not hidden).

Being hidden it will not be selected on startup.

I suppose you have selected the BubbleUPNP Server managed version of your media server in the devices tab, download the files from this server, and that you have set a transcode bitrate in Settings > Network and settings > Lossless audio bitrate ?

I made the test on the LAN downloading FLAC and they were downloaded transcoded to mp3 as expected...
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP doesn't support dynamic track metadata of shoutcast streams.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Pour le renderer OpenHome lent à être affiché dans BubbleUPnP c'est bizarre. Cela signifie que la requête émise par BubbleUPnP pour détecter ces renderers echoue, mais que le renderer OpenHome qui notifie sa présence de temps en temps (toutes les quelques minutes) réussit.

Peut etre que rebooter le router WiFi ou le PC sur lequel tourne BubbleUPNP Server peut régler le problème.

Quand à Kinsky, il devrait afficher la playlist lorsque le renderer WDTV OpenHome est selectionné (sous sa dénomination <room> - <name>). Difficile de savoir pourquoi ce n'est pas le cas.
[Android Apps and Games] Rouquemoute:
Downsample on server side!

Count me in for that one as well.

Even more awesome would be to have this control in Foobar foo_upnp component as well, along with "Override remote server transcode settings".
[Android Apps and Games] LittleNinja:
Hi,

I'm trying BBupnp and seems what i was looking for.

Just from what i quoted, when we long press Local media server, there is just "info", not "hide"...

And 2 quest :

1/ can we download from Play Music ? can't find the option.

2/ What do you think about possibility to see Picasa or G+ pictures ?

JB
[Android Apps and Games] mediaklan:
Not sure about G+, but I think i saw an option for Google Music or Google Drive :). 'Didn't give it a try as for now yet.

Also, I'm pretty sure this was all already explained previously, but I'm a little bit confused about subtitles and how it is handled between DLNA / bubbleupnp etc etc. It should be great if we could have a little reminder for everything about subtitles and in what bubbleupnp is concerned ?

Is everything about subtitles is managed from server side (I mean from a upnp app like mediatomb) ?

Un grand merci au créateur de bubbleupnp en tout cas, j'utilise le serveur sur Fedora/Xubuntu (avec mediatomb) et sur mes appareils Android depuis un bon moment déjà, et c'est vraiment sympa à utiliser ;)

Thanks bubbleguuum for your app !
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Are you sure you are using the latest version (1.7.3.1) ?

1. You can't. This is deliberate.

2. Picasa should work from the Gallery app (you can select whole albums), using the Share button and selecting BubbleUPnP.

Unfortunately the G+ app doesn't allow to do this.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the feedback. Everything there is to know about subtitles (a complex topic), is explained in great details in Settings > About/Help > Tips > Video and subtitles.

128 doesnt work too, and... 30 seconds? Why isnt there a debug collider, so people could log and send you files (for that browsing problem too). I just bought JamCast because for its Virtualsoundcard and to use it via BubbleUpnp...

Feature request (or maybe I'm missing something): :cowboy:

I have a new network player from Philips. BubbleUPNP works like a charme as controller. The player allows also to display the cover on a small screen. When I directly select tracks from my Media Server on the Network Player the Cover is displayed. When I use BubbleUPNP as controller the album art is only displayed in the app.

Is it possible to "forward" also the cover art to the renderer?
[Android Apps and Games] tommi.a:
Clarified via mail:

Problem doesn't occur with Settings > Control > Wait for renderer on startup=enabled.

Thanks bubbleguuum!
[Android Apps and Games] TMan459:
Oops, didn't have BubbleUPnP Server managing my Asset UPnP DLNA server over LAN. Issue resolved!

great app thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's already the case.The Philips doesn't display it for whatever reason only Philips knows...

Does BubbleUPnP shows the cover in the now playing screen ?
[Android Apps and Games] mkdr:
Using the Virtual Soundcard of Jamcast over 3g with your UPNP Server actually was the only reason why I bought your app and Jamcast in the first place, so it's a little bit "funny" for me now to read you seem to "deride" me now because of this. Why I want to do this? Because I want to listen to several things on my phone while I go outside (jogging ect.), I cant listen to directly on my phone via another app. For example special streams like DVBT, Silverlight streams of my Sky Go account (sports live streams) and so on, where I would use my PC as the source, opening these streams/app, and stream the audio to my phone to listen to while I go outside.

So I hope you will find a way of fixing/making this work. If you need any logs of mine maybe helping you, just tell me how I would make these logs, also for my browsing problem maybe if that would help t idfentify the problem. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can send me a separate log file for each problem (see first post of this topic for instructions).

For the Virtual Sound Card log, simply play the Virtual Sound Card item while connected to mobile and wait some time (say, 30s).

Also, for the purpose of this test, configure mobile transcoding to 128K.

Does transcoding the Virtual Sound Card to 128K through BubbleUPnP Server work while connected to your LAN ?

new installation + problem

Hi bubbleguuum

i've installed the app on my android to use it with a sony hx 800

i can regual render pictures and audio on the tv but when i try to send a movie from my pc or a video from my phone

is get the error

SetAVTransportURI failed (err. code 714)

i've made lot of reading in the past post and also made some checks , i've also readed "something" about AVTURI

the code 714 error should mean that there is a problem with the "MIME message" sent to the tv

is this the right problem? that means that "BubbleUPnP" is not compatible with my TV ?

i could render on it with another software , i tried it after made lot of tests with Bubble so i think is a question of software developing and comunication protocols (i guess)

thanks for your reply

Having great difficulty getting this to work remotely with the Android app as I'm trying to get my music from Mediamonkey on my win7 pc to be streamed remotely...I desperately want to use the MM for android app and not subsonic music streamer so i need to get UPNP to work remotely. .App works fine for be when everything is on LAN.

I have ports 58050 and 58051 open (port forwarded) with my Buffalo WZR-1750DHPVersion 2.10 router.

On the desktop software, I pass the tests: "HTTP: Server is reachable from Internet" and same for HTTPS

(im new user...cant post links so i'm putting hddp instead of http

I do both the hddp://1.2.3.4:58050 as well as the hddps://1.2.3.4:58051 options in the service address in the android settings window as well as user id/password that I created on the desktop software

Error message all the time during Test is "connected failed...the remote server could not be joined...check that the specified port in the service address field is correct."

I also type that hddp://1.2.3.4:58050 and hddps://1.2.3.4:58051] into my desktop pc browser and get nothing

i'm thinking this a problem with my router, but IDK as I'm high tech with Windows stuff but very low-tech anything to with routers/networking

any help is much appreciated

Latest version tracklist losing sync. with JRiver

Hey Bubbleguuum, since the latest iteration of Bubble UPnP was recently auto-updated on my tablet there is a problem with JRiver (I use gapless).

BubbleUPnP sends two tracks (of an album with many more tracks) to the JRiver renderer. It's fine for a while, but the the Playlist on the tablet soon loses sync. with what's actually playing. Say by the time Track 3 is playing, the tablet playlist is still showing Track 2.

Is it me again, or has something gone awry? :)

Edit: I just checked "Use Eventing" under UPnP Tweaks and it seems to have sorted things, but this had to be unchecked in the previous iteration. Have I got it right?
[Android Apps and Games] wideasleep1:
You can test your forwarded ports using canyouseeme.org...enter your chosen port and click test. SUCCESS means your port is fine, and something else is in play, like a firewall or similar.

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

For Bubble or anyone else that can answer....Unrelated to this app, but I was curious why no media servers exist for Android? IOW, Plex, Subsonic, MiniDLNA, Twonky, WMS, FireFly,etc. all require running on more energy-intensive hardware. Plex and Bubble apps can share local content within Android, but cannot broadcast that content over WAN. What, specifically, is preventing a full media server (WAN/LAN) from running ON Android?

edit: surely it's not strictly a java problem?
[Android Apps and Games] myvisione:
BubbleUPnP does fine. It shows all the covers in the Now Playing Screen as well as in the Playlist. When I directly select tracks on the Philips NP3700 the cover is also shown in the display. So I think there must be some problem with the handshake.

Bubbleupnp shuts off wifi

Hi,

Just got a Nook HD+ a week ago and installed Bubbleupnp (free version). I use Mezzmo as a server, and mx player as the player.

Everything has been working awesome until this morning.

Now, I'll be showing 5 bars on wifi until I start bubbleupnp, then it drops to nothing. It stays that way until I exit Bubbleupnp and either the wifi reconnects, or I turn off wifi and turn it back on (force a reconnect).

I've done all I can think of.. I set bubbleupnp to use local server instead of mezzmo, uninstalled and reinstalled bubbleupnp, tried setting it to a different server.. all with same result.

Is this a limitation built into the free version? I have NO PROBLEM buying the license.. I've been loving the program and the performance, just want to be sure if that will fix the problem before I plunk down the money.

If its not a limitation with the free version... Any ideas what might be causing this? It was working fine last night..

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Edit: actually, its the licensed version. I forgot I had bought the license.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can send me a log file, triggering that error (see first post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
When getting that error, is your phone connected to mobile or to your WiFi home LAN ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Nothing prevents it but it's just that such servers are supposed to run all the time and this conflict with most Android device running on batteries.

Transcoding is sometimes needed and devices on which Android is running is usualy not powerful enough (for video).

And there's the storage issue as most Android devices use only small SD cards.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can you get any other UPnP Control Point to display album art on this renderer ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Try rebooting your router. Check that its firmware is up to date.

new info regarding WIFI

I installed wifi analyzer and ran it while bubbleupnp was running in the background (Wifi showing no bars). Analyzer shows that when Bubbleupnp is started its trying to connect to a network named 2wire203. There is no network by that name in my area, so, no bars. I went through the network setup and cant find anything named 2wire203.

Any ideas? Oh, and I did reset the router. Also, I checked wifi on my phone while bubbleupnp was running and the issue is limited to the NookHD.

Support for Box.com cloud storage

Hi,

could you please add box.com in the cloud storage ? It's very popular since they have been giving 50GB free to LG device owners.

I saw you have dropbox, google drive, and skydrive, but it would be great to add Box.com too!

thank you for a great app.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The log shows your TV fails to play an AVI file which it cannot play unless transcoded to a format it supports.

Serviio can do this with its profile system, if you can configure it to use the profile for your TV when BubbleUPnP is browsing.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No current plan for Box
[Android Apps and Games] lizthe:
Hi

i am already doing it , i mean i have SERVIIO installed with transcoding option ON

in fact if i connect from the pc directly to SERVIIO throw my lan i can browse and play all that (same) movie files in the folders

is there any option to do this in the configuration of BUBBLEPNP ?

or maybe you know if i have to set "some extra options" in SERVIIO to "talk corretly" with BUBBLEPNP?

as i told you, if i browse from the TV throw DLNA and NET , i can play movies transcoded from SERVIOO
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes there's no problem when browsing from your TV because when you browse Serviio associate it to your TV profile which gracefully handle all

required transcoding.

When you are browsing with BubbleUPnP, Serviio use its generic profile I guess.

You can assign the Sony TV profile to BubbleUPnP in the Serviio console, in the Status tab.
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
Any particular reason? From what I'm reading in an article that compares the various cloud storage options,Box has a popular API and is designed to easily integrate with other programs. I'm using Box due to the free 50GB I got free with my Nexus 4 phone (since it's made by LG), and I think the offer is still valid for new users. That's a huge amount, perfect for media files, so I never signed up for any other cloud storage :(
[Android Apps and Games] wideasleep1:
Phones (old ones not being used as daily phones) can be plugged in and repurposed, but I'm also trying to do this using my android stick, which stays plugged in. It has enough oomph to transcode audio, but not likely video (yet!-android hardware is already improving with Snapdragons,etc. improving every generation). Since the stick is left powered on constantly (Ouya anyone?) and has micro-usb/OTG expansion, it makes sense to consider using it as a media server. I have done just that, but with mediocre results. The main issue seems to be LARGE collections create a huge db file, which can choke the RAM making navigation frustrating. I've tried LinuxOnAndroid to run Ubuntu, link the filesystems together (server on linux, db in Android), but nav is poor. Debian makes things a bit better, but not fluid. It seems the best case would be to get an Android native UPnP server, along with a decent db, optimised to perform together. As Android creeps towards home automation while hardware continues towards more (and cheaper) power, I'm thinking you are sitting on an opportunity to be the first to pull it off, if you were up to the challenge. :)

No particular reason other that integrating new cloud services takes time and someone will always miss his favorite one.

Naim Streamer: Problems with Track Advance

Hi bubbleguum,

I'm testing BubbleUPnP as a control point for a Naim UnitiQute while Naim get their act together and issue an Android version of their nStream control app.

If Bubble worked flawlessly I wouldn't really need nStream, but I am having some problems with track advance that have also been noted by other Naim users. There are a few threads on this in the Naim streaming forum but I'm not sure if you follow that so I thought I'd ask here.

The problem is that Bubble will often repeat the last track played rather than advance to the next track. I have been into UPnP Tweaks in Settings to change the following to try to fix this:

Disabled gapless control (which would be disappointing to lose if this worked, but it doesn't)

Disabled "use eventing" (as it suggests disabling if there are problems with track advance)

Increased "UPnP Action Timeout" to 40s following advice in the Naim forum.

Using these measures individually or together I still have problems with track advance.

I'm using minimserver 0.72 with the Bubble proxy server. The Qute has the latest 3.21 firmware from Naim issued a month or so ago.

I've no idea whether this is something you can test but do you have any suggestions? I'm happy to run any tests and send you logs if it helps.

Thanks,

Adrian
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:

[Android Apps and Games] Hydro8:
Someone can explain me how to set up server on my android stick ? Without create server on windows.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok. Not exactly what you're asking for, but a NAS (powerful enough if you want to transcode video) + minimserver (for audio) and BubbleUPnP Server (for WAN access and transcoding) would do it.
[Android Apps and Games] wideasleep1:
Yep..I know that will do it..I just think Android is now mature enough and associated hardware is robust enough (Nexus 4 has decent specs for example and sticks are improving faster than tablets) that a complete Android solution needs to happen. Companies seem to think Android has the beef for home automation yet a simple WAN music server seems elusive. Subsonic has similar requirements to bubble (win/Mac/Lin) server wise but I thought mysql was the reason (variant called music cabinet uses postgres) but was curious if you knew the real roadblock to making it happen.

WMA support?

Love the app but on my Nexus 7 I don't have native wma support. Poweramp plays wma but doesn't have dlna support. My Synology NAS doesn't offer transcoding of wma files. Can't you offer a paid plug-in to allow wma support for the local renderer?
