After playing around and testing this App for a couple of month, i have only 2 questions left:

1) I have some problems with the ICS lockscreen. The option is turned on in the BubbleUPNP Settings and sometimes when running BubbleUPNP i do actually get the ICS lockscreen with the music controls and the now playing info on my SGII. If it shows up, it works perfectly until i turn off BubbleUPNP. But most times, whatever i try, no ICS lockscreen with controls and info shows up. This weekend i had the strange situation, that i was playing music over BubbleUPNP the whole evening without seeing the ICS Music-Lockscreen. After several hours the music stopped for unknown reason and i had to hit play, to continue in the playlist. The music played just as before, but from that moment on, every time the lockscreen came on i did have music controls on it. :eek: I have absolutely no idea why and i can't reproduce any of it. Don't know if this is an ICS or a BubbleUPNP issue, but perhaps you have an idea whats happening.

2) I have some photos on my QNAP NAS running Twonky. When i want to show them on the Galaxy Tab 2 via BubbleUPNP, i select the NAS as library and the Local renderer als renderer. When now "playing" the first photo, it comes up on the screen, as this is the selected renderer. But from that renderer view i can't advance to the next photo. Is there any way to play the photos like a diashow or manually switch to another photo when using the local renderer? The only workaround i found is sending the photos from my phone to the tablet and navigate on the phone, but that is not a satisfying solution.

Apart from this small problems, BubbleUPNP, BubbleUPNP server, OpenHome renderers, everything works totally perfect. :good:

My 'BubbleUPnP License' shows up as a separate app (on Galaxy S2 running stock 2.3.7). Other apps with separate license 'apps' don't do this. Is it possible to update the License app so it shows-up as an installed app in the Play Store but not in the application menu?
[Android Apps and Games] csdibiase@gmail.com:
Quick question: I'm still trying to figure out a way to make a daemon on Ubuntu 12.04 Server. Since the box runs headless I can't really keep BubbleUPnP Server running without making a daemon out of it.

One tool for daemonizing a Java application I've found in my wanderings is the Java Service Wrapper by Tanuki Software (http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.com/doc/english/download.jsp). Seems pretty straightforward to use, but the downside it is requires the application implement one if it's interfaces (WrapperListener) to work properly. Not being a java programmer myself, and still trying to learn a decent level of bash scripting I don't actually know how to tell if that's something that's in BubbleUPnP Server already or how hard it would be to hack it in there.

Is that something already implemented or is there a simpler solution to getting BubbleUPnP running on a headless server that I'm overlooking?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, data files are deleted on each boot on QNAP NAS.

0.6p4 fixes this: http://bubbleguuum.free.fr/upnpserver/0.6p4/BubbleUPnPServer-distrib.zip
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. I will try to reproduce it but if you find a way to reproduce it reliably in the meantime, let me know. Note that the ICS lockscreen only show up for local playback (eg when playing to the local renderer)

2. You do not need to use the Now Playing screen for local viewing of photos:

In Library, in a folder containing photos, just click on a photo to start a Gallery centered on the photo (you can also use the Play action bar button to start on the first photo). This way do not modify the Playlist tab in any way.

You can still add/enqueue photos to the Playlist tab if you wish. In that case the above behaviour will also work in the Playlist tab (clicking a photo spawn a Gallery). The Now Playing screen for photos is only useful when displaying them on an external renderer like a TV.

I've entirely redesigned the Gallery image viewer in the next version of the app, with pinch to zoom support and slide show options.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes: launch the license app and select "Hide" to have it disappear from you app launcher.

Strangely enough, since I posted this issue, I've not had it again. I will keep an eye on it.

Is there any possibility in the future to support other music streaming services, such as Spotify?

CAN´T PLAY HIGHRES DFF FILES ON MY YAMAHA RX-V475 / QNAP NAS

hi, I'm using BubbleUPnP with MinimServer on QNAP NAS and having trouble with transcode DFF files to 192/24 , because is always transcoding to 44100/s16be to play on my Yamaha RX-V475, loosing audio quality.

DSF files plays fantastic, the only problem is with DFF.

Here is the log, I would appreciate so much your help.

Thanks in advance!

one problem I have

lets say I play in chromecast audio one mp3 stream

"http://radiostreaming.ert.gr/ert-proto" .

it plays well but when I turn off the "bubbleupnp app" after some seconds the stream stops from chromecast audio.

I tried something in settings like to disable "transcoding for unreported format media.." but the problem persists.

why this is happening?

with other apps there is no such a problem.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=5336579]drdedus[/MENTION]

This stream is a Shoutcast mp3 stream and BubbleUPnP is proxying it as a regular mp3 stream to the Chromecast, hence BubbleUPnP needs

to keep running. This was needed long ago when Chromecast did not support Shoutcast natively, but not anymore.

I will fix it in the next app update so Chromecast streams Shoutcast directly.

Can you confirm that you are playing tracks from a MinimServer proxy on your local network ? If that's the case, why are you using a proxy instead of just accessing MinimServer normally ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Spotify is not possible as they do not allow any app that could remotely compete with their own app.

Add other cloud services? (eg Youtube)

Hi [MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION], and thank you for the great app!

I have a question (or maybe a feature request): is there the possibility to add some other cloud as a library?

I'm more precisely interested in YOUTUBE and BANDCAMP (favorites video/album in personal account).

Thank you

Andrea
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can use both their official apps to share media to BubbleUPnP (use the share/send action then select BubbleUPnP as the target).

I have not verified for bandcamp but I believe that it works.

Failed to convert subtitles

Hi anyone here having problem loading subtitles when trying to download subtitles from opensubs or loading local file .. when i try to download subtitles from opensubs it downloads file successfully but then it shows "failed to convert subtitle" pop-up on screen.. it was working fine few weeks ago

I cannot reproduce this. Can you send me the a log file triggering that error ? See first post of this topic for logging instructions.

Also, what is your Android version ?
[Android Apps and Games] piloro:
Well... Yes, both Youtube and Bandcamp can send tracks / video to Bubbleupnp, but, for instance, Google Drive (which is among the cloud services in Bubbleupnp app) can as well. So, if I'm not missing the point of having there listed a number of cloud libraries, my request is meant for the same purpose: having an easy link to the personal account of an online storage of media files that Bubbleupnp could directly stream.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There is no plan to add more cloud services at this time.

[Android Apps and Games] samnada:
Been having a problem streaming video to my Chromecast since the last update. It hangs frequently, about every 15-20 min. Sometimes the BubbleUPnP prompts me to send feedback and I just fill in "Hung". I can usually restart and resume but it's a major pain. The Chromecast is using a wired connection, I can stream the same video using other devices and they stream fine, so I don't think it's my network. I'm using Serviio on the PC where the media is located and it's also wired to the router. I can capture a log file if you want. Is there a way to downgrade to the previous release to see if that helps?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=2857034]samnada[/MENTION]

By "hang" do you mean the app UI is unresponsive ? Does this happen only after the screen has been off for a while ?

You can send me a log file if you wish. See first post of this topic for logging instructions.

[Android Apps and Games] samnada:
The picture on the TV freezes. The app can be unresponsive, other times I can press the "Now Playing" button, get that screen but then pressing the Pause bars does nothing. Sometimes an error message screen pops up and I can select "Feedback". Sometimes the "Start over or Resume" screen comes up and I can press resume and it does. Other times I have to press the Home button on the phone to exit. I always watch with the phone screen off, so yes the screen has been off for a while. I'll try to get a log file and send it.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] drdedus:
thank you very much.

one last suggestion if you find the time..

many times some Chromecast devices (Google or not) does not appear and i do not know the reason.

i enable disable the wifi in mobile, i force sutdown the app and i clear the cache but nothing changing.

i do not know if this is possible but can you show in the device list devices from the past?maybe with different font or in the end of the list so they will not be

mixed with the latest discovered devices.

You can do it and like an option inside settings so if someone have the Chromecast with "static IP" to enable it or just try it.

thank you for your time.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=5336579]drdedus[/MENTION]

It's not possible to "cache" Chromecast devices: they have to be seen by Google Play Services (it is responsible of detecting them) which in turn notifies BubbleUPnP of their presence. Troubleshooting spotty Chromecast discovery can be difficult. You can try these:

- reboot your WiFi router

- make sure your WiFi router firmware is up to date

- if using 2.4Ghz WiFi, try the 5Ghz band if possible

Also, what it your Android device and version ? Using any custom ROM or root ?

Is there any case where the Google Home app detects Chromecasts but BubbleUPnP does not list them ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=2857034]samnada[/MENTION]

I can see this only happening if BubbleUPnP is transcoding part of the video (for example the audio track). Otherwise the Chromecast would stream directly from Serviio.

Make sure you applied all recommendation in 'More > gear icon (settings) > Having app issues when screen is off ?'. This is super important.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=3177544]Shark_1979[/MENTION]

Which library (media server) ? UPnP/DLNA has no concept of filenames: items only have a title which can sometimes happen to be a filename. If a media server allows to browse the filesystem hierarchy, you will see filenames there. For media managed by BubbleUPnP (Local and Cloud library) these are the "Internal Storage" and "External SD Card" root folders.
[Android Apps and Games] drdedus:
thank you for your response.

i thought that it can be cached because in some test i have made i show an app to offer a device i couldn't see from 5 other apps including bubbleupnp.

Even if i forced close the app when i opened again i could see the device.

i do not remember well but when i cleared the cache of this app the behavior was like all the others and it was showing me some of the devices i have and not the specific one.

The app is the "hi-fi cast".

But probably all that was coincidences.

Many times in many houses i have this problem and the solution is to restart the router like you said.
[Android Apps and Games] samnada:
Ok, I did check this and BubbleUPnP was being "optimized" for battery usage. I've changed that so it won't be anymore. Curiously last night I watched another episode of the show I've been having problems with and it worked fine. That was before I made the optimization change. I did have the log file enabled which was the only difference between previous sessions that hung. I'll continue logging for now and report any failures.

Thanks.

Hi Bubbleguuum,

I am still trying to work out how to post here correctly so please forgive the absence of correct heading. I have a number of issues I would like to raise, some more important than others and all common to both BubbleDS and Bubbupnp when used as control points on Samsung tablet and S6 phone with minimserver providing the data:-

1. When playing classical works my tags, which include the Title (same as file name), Composer, Artist (who are the singers on that particular track), and AlbumArtist (who are the main artists including conductor and band for the work) are displayed as intended by minimserver. When using Bubble control points however the Artist tag is displayed but then there is a middle stop followed by the Composer. This is not called by my minimserver properties setting and only shows using Bubble apps. Do you know why this appears? I have raised it with Simon and he does not believe it is from minimserver. Can you advise. I can send a screen shot if you wish.

On the Samsung tablet it is not possible to distinguish between when playlist repeat is set and when not. I can see when single track is repeated but not the whole list.

On all control points the progress bar is too thin and I cannot (do not know how to) change the colour which makes it almost invisible when some album art has similar colour.

The sound mute is not as clear as the previous diagonal bar.

Otherwise your apps are brilliant and much enjoyed. Hope you can help me with my questions when you have time.

Regards,

Budge
[Android Apps and Games] samnada:
I did follow your advice and disabled the battery optimization for BubbleUPnP., but the video hung again. Logging was not enabled the first time, but i was able to enable it, exit and restart BubbleUPnP, resumed the video and it hung again. I've emailed the log files to you.

Thanks for any help.

Is possibible to wake a receiver just after select it? Without start playing.

With my denon avr and bubbleupnp, it comes alive and ready just after starting a song. And often I lost connection or I lost 3-4 seconds of song.

With Sony walkman music app the receiver wake up just after selecting It and receiver never lost seconds

Squeezeboxes UPnP renderers (based on on the Logitech UPnP plugin) have always been possibly problematic, with some weird behavior hard to understand or erratic. Let's say it's not my favorite UPnP renderer. The Whitebear UPnP renderer for squeezeboxes is much less problematic.

Can you send me both the Android BubbleUPnP log file and the BubbleUPnP Server log file, where you add to the Playlist tab a bunch of tracks to play and only the first track is listed and eventually plays ? See first post of this topic for Android BubbleUPnP logging instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Answered by email. Summary: intermittent WiFi disconnections.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=6774420]Budgie2[/MENTION]

You guessed right: if a track has both artist and composer metadata defined (sent by the media server), BubbleUPnP aggregates them with a dot in the Now Playing screen. This is currently not configurable and nobody complained yet, as I suppose classical music enthusiasts usually want to see the composer displayed. If you configure MinimServer to not send composer, you will not see it in BubbleUPnP. Although I'd rather avoid it, I may add yet another option to not show the composer on the Now Playing screen.

Indeed. Will fix.

The height of the touch area for the progress bar is bigger than the thin progress line displayed. Do you have a problem to drag it ?

For the color, can you post a screenshot where you think color is problematic ? if you don't mind losing colored album art on the Now Playing tab, you can set 'More > gear icon > Look and Feel > Color art mode' to 'Library'. This will disable the color of the seekbar to be album art dependent.

what do you mean with that ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=5222024]dhcp22[/MENTION]

There is no (standard) UPnP/DLNA command to just wake up a renderer.

Not sure what the Sony app is doing. Are you sure it is controlling the Denon via DLNA ?
[Android Apps and Games] samnada:
Answer received. Very much appreciate your excellent app and support.
[Android Apps and Games] Budgie2:
The small speaker icon next to the volume setting number has a few part circle lines showing when playing and none when muted. I fnd it dificult to discriminate. I know my eyes are getting tired and seeing the symbol is a problem. A diagonal line or strikeout is an universal symbol and this line through the picture of the speaker would be easier to see and less ambiguous.

Meanwhile thanks for your reply and keep up the good work. We love your apps.
[Android Apps and Games] dhcp22:
Yes, this old app comes from my old Xperia U.

It's very effective. When I select the receiver, without starting song, my denon is Power on. Maybe the app sends a 1 or 2 seconds mute song?

I use that to avoid manual power on my denon AVR

[MENTION=7985546]matagou[/MENTION]

Do you have this issue only with Chromecast audio groups sometimes not showing up ? Or does it apply to standalone Chromecast as well ?

Groups are rather tricky as the master Chromecast handling the group can change over time, and I do not think BubbleUPnP Server handles this

properly.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=6774420]Budgie2[/MENTION]

Unfortunately, the material icon font I use does not have such strike icon for mute.

seekbar: what about a setting to make the current position handle always visible (similar to the volume bar) ? Would that help ?
[Android Apps and Games] matagou:
Current state of service prevents invoking that action. Timeout waiting for Playing

I do have a group of four Chromecast Audio devices and I haven't tested with other devices. If BubbleUPnP server can't handle, at least a workaround can be applied please? For example, to restart the server service () or reinitiate Chromecast Audio group identification?

My issue is that currently the only workaround is to restart the server service in order to be able to talk to the Chromecast Audio group from BubbleUPnP phone app.

Thanks,

Andrei
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I need to retest Chromecast groups entirely to see if I can reproduce this issue and understand it (the master Chromecast of the group that changes).

This is difficult, time consuming and (assuming I am able to reproduce it) it's possible I may not be able to comprehend it nor fix it. So no promise.

Problems using OpenHome renderer with Squeezebox Touch

[MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION] I emailed you those logs you asked for.

I also noticed another issue today which may (or may not!) be a bug:

If you create an OpenHome renderer in BubbleUPnP Server then the Android client by default will then show 2 renderers for example:

SqueezeBox (Bedroom)

and

SqueezeBox (Bedroom) (OpenHome)

So I thought no problem, I can just use the "Hide/unhide renderes and libraries" option to hide the one I don't want, but even with "SqueezeBox (Bedroom)" hidden the client still shows both renderers in the "Select renderer" popup.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=9558728]codlord[/MENTION]

I have no yet looked for the Squeezebox.

For hiding devices, in the screen where you hide devices, make sure to set "Filter" to "Show only devices not hidden", to make hiding devices effective.
[Android Apps and Games] codlord:
:good: Ahh, o.k. that's sorted it. I thought the filter was just for that view/page where you see what's hidden or not. All good though, thanks.

Sharing a Youtube page to BubbleUPnP does not work anymore. BubbleUPnP does display "Cannot play: no http stream found". It did work in the past. Other pages still work.
[Android Apps and Games] BumRush:
Is there a way to disable BubbleUPnP from automatically connecting to the last renderer?

I would prefer it ask which one. I have 4 Chromecasts in the home and it's very frustrating that it turns on the last tv used in the home when I want to use a different tv.

Do you still have this issue ? I've made a fix a few days ago (no app update required).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=1328664]BumRush[/MENTION]

I bet this happens because you have disabled the 'local renderer' in More > gear icon > (local renderer section) > Enable.

Enable it (even if you do not use it) and this will be immediately the default renderer on each app launch.

When the 'local renderer' is disabled, BubbleUPnP will wait for the first renderer to be discovered (which is semi-random) and make it current.
[Android Apps and Games] lobel68:
It is working again, thanks bubbleguuum!

BubbleUPnP should really display a message when new software is available and ask the user if he wants to install. It is somewhat shady to update secretly.

Because it would have to be approved by Google and there is about zero chance that it would

because it is not using the specific Android TV UI. Instead I have adapted the phone/tablet UI so it

works reasonably well on TV, especially with the D-PAD and without touch support.
