With the amount of playing around I've done with this now to try and get it to work, I think you may just be right :/

Found somewhat of a workaround by creating a second connection in the app using the LAN IP of the PC. Not exactly 100%, but it may just do for now.

Thanks anyway, you've been awesome. Nothing like amazing support to back up an app!

And sorry if it came across as an awkward/pain in the a** problem. :P

It's actually a pretty common networking issue. I guess router manufacturers don't consider it worth the trouble to build these advanced features into their firmware. Can't really blame them, though, since most advanced users eventually shell out for a higher-end router.

BTW, I in no way represent BubbleUPnP. I'm just another user.

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

UPnP devices rely on multicast to detect each other. Unlike point-to-point traffic, multicast can't really validate whether it is properly received by all other hosts because it doesn't know them all. It just kind of throws a message out there to anyone who may be listening.

All that to say, if your WiFi connection has a lot of interference, multicast packets from BubbleUPnP may not reliably reach other UPnP devices.

There is a setting in BubbleUPnP under UPnP Tweaks called "Blast alive messages." You might try that and see if it helps.

BubbleUPnP Streaming Video Error

Hey,

I am having a problem with BubbleUPnP. I can stream music from PC to my Samsung Galaxy Nexus fine with BubbleUPnP over WiFi, but video files won't stream at all. I keep getting this error "Cannot play video: no streaming URL available (invalid URL or unsupported protocol: null). However, my old Samsung Infuse phone can still stream both music and video files from my PC through BubbleUPnP. I have tried reinstalling the BubbleUPnP app and even factory resetting my phone, but nothing has worked.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Many thanks for your contribution. I've added links and instructions to the main BubbleUPnP Server page.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
When you "bring the screen back to life", I assume you left BubbleUPNP running in the background and just get back to it (correct me if not the case). If BubbleUPnP switched from the Pionner [OpenHome] renderer to another one (JRiver in your case) it means that the app received a notification from the "Pionner [OpenHome]" renderer that it disappeared from the network. Since BubbleUPnP Server is managing this renderer it is BubbleUPnP Server that made this notification and it can have 2 possible causes:

1. the real Pioneer renderer notified its disappearance from the network and in turn BubbleUPnP Server shutdown the associated OpenHome renderer (to eventually recreate it shortly after if the Pionner signals its appearance again)

2. BubbleUPnP Server determined that the real Pionner renderer was becoming unresponsive and decided to shutdown the associated OpenHome renderer. This housekeeping has to be done because some devices do not notify their disapperance cleanly.

Unless there is a bug in the real Pionner that makes it signal its disapperance at regular intervals (some devices have been seen to do this), I think it is cause 2. To check if it is cause 2, search in BubbleUPnP Server log file, for lines:

maintenance: removed unresponding device: <your pionneer device name>

You could look into JRiver configuration if it is possible to disable its renderer.

As for BubbleUPnP switching to a device marked as hidden, congrats you've found a bug :).

That is a known issue with some Media Servers (like Twonky) that possibly change album art URLs when doing a rescan of their database.

The solution is to either disable caching or clear the cache when it happens to force it to regenerate.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If I understand correctly you can connect to BubbleUPnP Server on mobile using your public ip address in the Server's setting in Android BubbleUPnP, but this doesn't work on the LAN (unless like you say, create a second connection with the LAN ip) ?

It can be explained because for some routers to accept connections to the public ip but coming from the LAN, a feature called NAT reflection must be enabled. You may want to google it as there are workarounds but it is fairly technical.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's unusual. What is the media server running on your PC ?

This error means the item cannot be played because a valid stream URL could not be determined, either because there was none or the URL was not valid.

Sony Blu Ray S390 does not see bubbleupnp server but tablet does

Hello,

Strange problem. I have a bubbleupnp, minidlna, ubuntu server on a LAN. I also have two Sony S390s. I validated network, eth0, hostnames, server logs, etc but the Sonys cannot see or connect to the server.

Here is the strange part. My Nexus 7 tablet, running bubbleupnp, on the same wifi/LAN can see and connect to the server AND the Sonys. I can view server files on my nexus with no problems. Sony can see and connect to directories on the Nexus. Sony cannot see the server directly. So graphically: server-->nexus--->sony and sony-->nexus BUT server X sony and sony X server.

I added portmapping, tried the bubbleupnp windows 7 version, with no success.

By the way, I don't think this is bubbleupnp problem because I also tried several other products unsuccessfully. Bubbleupnp is the closest to success and its forum community is the most active.

Thanks in advance for any ideas or tips.

[Android Apps and Games] sorepinky:
OK thanks bubbleguuum. Yes the android app stays running and when i press the tablet power/screen on/off button to bring the screen back up, it

sometimes

shows the wrong (hidden) renderer (now only the original pioneer one). The music is still playing mind you. Thanks - I have removed the JRiver renderer and it never shows any more. Yes the log file shows several occurrances of "maintenance: removed unresponding device: Pioneer Network Player". So it seems to be Cause 2. What should I do about that? ... (sorry I don't know how to do the multi-quote thing)... glad to have been of service in the bug-finding department... thumbnails fine with caching off.

BTW I am so impressed with this app that I have featured it at my diy hifi blog, but I can't link to it as a junior member, but a google search for "hi-fi projects network audio bubbleupnp" will show it on the first page. My real name is Ian Millar. :p

Queuing vid links

Howdy,

Thanks for this great app.

I'm happily watching YouTube videos on my tv .

Would it be possible to queue the videos instead of playing them? That'll be quite an experience improvement as I could search/queue videos while watching.

Rendering working on all but one device

I did my due diligence and searched for anyone mentioning something similar but since I did not find anything I am posting my issue (and provide a log file). My setup is as follows:

LG P769 Running Android 4.0.4

BubbleUPNP for Android version 1.6.4.2

BubbleUPNP Server version: 0.6.3 beta

Media Servers:

foobar 2000 & BubbleUPnP Server running on 192.168.1.20, Windows 7

Another foobar 2000 instance running on 192.168.1.50, Windows 7

Local Media Server (disabled)

Media Renderers:

Denon 192.168.1.10 (exposed by BubbleUPnP Server using OpenHome)

foobar 2000 on 192.168.1.20

foobar 2000 on 192.168.1.50

First the good:

* I am able to browse and play media locally (Local Renderer) whether I am connected to my WAN (local network) or via internet (using BubbleUPnP Server) for all the Media servers mentioned.

* When I am connected to my WAN (local network), I am able to render on the 2 foobar 2000 renderers

The bad:

* When I am connected to my WAN (local network), I am not able to render on my Denon 192.168.1.10. On my "Renderers" list, I see two entries pertaining to Denon: a) Directly from Denon "DENON:[AVR-3312CI]" , and b) Via OpenHome "DENON:[AVR-3312CI] (OpenHome)". I am not able to play music when I select either of these renderers.

* When I try to play music on these renderers, I get a error message "null (code: 401)" and "(code: 401)" respectively

I have attached the log file for more details.

I should also mention that I was able to render to the Denon on my Galaxy Nexus (Android 4.2) and a slightly older version of BubbleUPnP for Android app perfectly.

Unfortunately, I do not have access to this device anymore nor do I know the version of the app that worked.

Thanks.

Unable to access from the internet

Hi,

Thank you for such an amazing app.

I am running a BubbleUPnP version 1.6.4.2 on my HTC One S phone.

I have a Medion NAS Server which runs TwonkyServer Premium 7.0.9-RC3. I have set up a user on the the server who has access to a smb shared folder on the NAS Server. When I try to connect to NAS Server with my phone via the mobile network I get this message: "The server could be joined but required additional information could no be retrieved". The log file also has a message like this "error connecting to :..... HTTP status code: 302 != 200".

The server uses port 8082 to perform the streaming and my ADSL modem has been set up to open this port to allow access to the NAS server from the internet.

What could be stopping me to connect the phone to the NAS Server? I am including the log file in the post for you to look at.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] mozyman:
Yes, that's basically it. App simply doesn't automatically pick up any local servers.

Couple of questions regarding BubbleUPnP! :o

1. Any way to stream live TV (DVB-S/S2 PCIe tuner) to Android using BubbleUPnP?

2. Is BubbleUPnP compatible with the DLNA capabilities of the ASUS RT-N66U router to stream media?

3. Will BubbleUPnP work with the Nexus 10?

Thanks. :)

Hi

I've tried doing this but it doesnt seem to do anything. I'm starting to think this isnt an issue with Bubble - if I just look in the Windows network device list on my desktop, it has the exact same issue. What I've done now is temporarily wire up my 2nd device, guest-bedroom @ 192.168.22.32 onto the LAN, and it still doesnt show up. Is there any way I can, say, manually add a UPnP server to Bubble?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can disable "maintenance" by setting "discoveryMaintenanceInterval" to 0 in the server's configuration file (configuration.xml, in the install dir).

Then restart the server (it should restart automatically when you save the file if running on Java7).

Then the log file will show "discovery maintenance disabled".

This will prevent BubbleUPnP Server to remove the Pionner OpenHome renderer unless the real Pioneer renderer really notify its disappearnce. But if the real Pioneer is really becoming unresponsive you will have other issues.

Nice article and great setup, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I worked with koying so we add this functionality on both ends but he has not released a new version of semperVidLinks with enqueue functionality yet, while current BubblePnP supports it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Code 710 is "Seek mode not supported" so I guess your TV doesn't support seeking. Either for some video types or for all videos.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You entered your Twonky public ip addres in the remote network settings. This cannot work as these settings are *only* to connect to BubbleUPnP Server which in turn can make your Twonky server accessible over the Internet. Server ip address must be a BubbleUPnP Server ip address.

For info, code 302 is a http redirect code sent by your Twonky server.
[Android Apps and Games] browha:
hi mr bubble

is there any chance of adding a "manually add a upnp renderer" to this?

I *Think* this might solve my problem... I dont know why I'm having my problems, no help from here or the pi forums (so far), but I can both ping and log in to all my devices remotely, I just cant UPnP them.

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. Don't know. Some users reported sucessfully streaming live TV to Android but not sure with which hardware

2. Don't know but probably, there's no reason why it shouldn't work

3. Yes
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If I understand your issue correctly (from your first message), you have 3 Pi running XBMC and all XBMC instances do not show up reliably in BubbleUPnP. Which XBMC UPnP features are you using ? Its Media Server ? Its renderer ? Both ?

If using both, I would disable either the renderer or media server in XBMC to reduce the number of devices.

A possible explanation is a clash of UPnP device uuids, which must be unique per UPnP device. If 2 separate XBMC instances generate the same uuid for 2 devices then BubbleUPnP will see randomly only one of them. uuid are often generated using (among other things) the MAC address of the network card.

You can check that you do not have 2 Pi having the same MAC address (with command "ifconfig").

Alternatively you can add another Media Server on your problematic Pi to see if it is discovered.
[Android Apps and Games] browha:
nspsand ADMINISTRA

Hi Mr Bubble

I am using them as renderers, not servers. I've disabled renderers and servers which I do not use to reduce the number of devices - I'm currently operating something like 4 renderers, but have previously run more (with various tablets turn on)

Mac address of pi-2 (192.168.22.31) : 00:0b:81:85:98:34

Mac address of pi-3 (192.168.22.32): 00:0b:81:85:98:57

Note: I currently have pi-1 hard-wired, 2 & 3 on wi-fi. What I have also done is hard wire pi-2, and I see the same issue. I've also hard wired all 3 Raspberry Pis, and it persists

Is there any easy way to check the UUID? I attach a screenshot of my system as displayed in windows

what exactly do you mean by adding a new media server to the device? You mean, say, a non-UPnP thing? like an airplay one?

Interestingly, I've just checked the airplay set up. It recieves all 3 devices fine in iTunes (though, oddly, it only sees the pi-2 as a stereo device, with pi-1 and pi-3 as video renderers too)

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I meant installing another non-XBMC UPnP device on you probablematic Pi, like minidlna or mediatomb, to check if it is discovered.

But there's 2 more things you can try:

- what happens if you leave only you problematic Pi running and turn off the 2 others ? Is it now discovered ?

- update your router firmware to the latest version if necessary.

To check the uuids in BubbleUPnP, long-click on device in the Library tab, then select "Info".

But of course devices have to been detected for that.
[Android Apps and Games] browha:
Hey

Okay, I'll look into it.

On all my tablets, I have the following situation:

Pi-1 will show up, and 1 of Pi-2+Pi-3 show up. If I turn off one, the other will _always_ show up.

The UDN for pi-3 is

67918910-16f9-7889-da28-ef8aa671ef34

pi-2 is:

67918910-16f9-7889-da28-ef88a671ef34

ah-ha!! That'll be the problem!! So most likely it is because I've imaged the fricking SD card?! I need to do a clean install, basically

Just realized what it is.. Installed both SD cards on the same Pi and assumed I could just port it across to the other Pi no problem ;) Here's to reinstalling!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There you have it. Maybe you can just clear XBMC config files to force it regenerate a new UDN. To find the file storing the uuid:

find / -exec grep -l "67918910-16f9-7889-da28-ef88a671ef34" {} \;

I believe the paid version of BubbleUPnP for Android allows you to share all your connections (including WAN) with all machines on whatever LAN you're on. So use your phone/tablet to connect over WAN, and then browse the network on your Mac to access the Android share.

FYI

I purchased a Denon AVR-3312CI for this exact purpose (DLNA renderer via BubblePnP controller) and eventually gave-up and returned the Denon. Their tech support all but admitted that they didn't care about DLNA; all they really supported was Apple AirPlay. The main issue I had was with the network-wake mode on the Denon. The receiver frequently crashed and even hard-locked, requiring the power cord to be disconnected.

At this point, I am waiting to upgrade my receiver and using an external Sony SMP-N200 as my renderer.

Hey Bubblegum ...

Any thoughts on the possibility of adding the capability for BubbleUPNP server to have the capability to connect via some type of UNICAST connection to another copy (remote) of BubbleUPNP server on another Windows computer and present that BubbleUPNPs DNLA (Proxies) as DLNA proxies on the remote BubbleUPNP servers computer (I think I describe that correctly ...) ???

Or to have the FOOBAR2000 UPNP plugin have the capability to create DLNA (Proxies) of the DNLA servers (and proxies) from the BubbleUPNP server it has connected to ???

Either of these modes would give you something that I beleive NO other Windows DLNA server has - the ability for full DLNA device support over the Internet or VPN.....basically network to network DLNA support. This appears to be in the future of DLNA - but that is probably a few years away.

I have quite an elaborate testing environment and would be very willing to test any type of beta code that you might come up with to support this functionality.
