This issue should be fixed in the next release of BubbleUPnP Server, sometimes this week. Now the service is started after TCP/IP is running.

Still you can send me the log so I can check it is not some other error.

You should be able to fix it manually, typing the following command in a shell running width adnministrator privileges. Stop the BubbleUPnP Server service first before entering this command:

sc config "BubbleUPnP Server" depend= Tcpip

I have the latest bubbleupnp server installed on Win 7 64-bit computer, and latest bubbleupnp app on my Android phone. I'm using TwonkyMedia as the Music Media server. I am able to access and stream music via my home Wi-Fi to my phone with no problem.

When I go into 'Mobile' mode on the phone, I tested my connection on the Android bubbleupnp and it's successful. A listing of ALL my music displays, but when I select a song to play, it never plays.

The bubbleupnp I have installed on my phone is the free version.

Are there any other settings required to stream my music when in Mobile mode? 'Allow to access the server from the Internet (required by BubbleUPnP for Android)' is checked on the Web configuration page. Funny thing is, all my music is listed perfectly on the phone, just nothing plays.
[Android Apps and Games] ldeckard:
Looks like my mobile connection isn't fast enough to stream. Streaming from a WiFi site other than my own works great. Nice app!

Are there plans for a client piece or Web access to bubbleupnp server so while at work I can stream my media via my work computer (or where ever)?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] jayadam63:
I ran the "sc config "BubbleUPnP Server" depend= Tcpip" command as admin at the command prompt after stopping the server. Done two reboots and it seems to be working.

Thanks for the workaround! :-)

There are known issues on how things are sorted using XBMC as a UPNP server. Music sorts in alphabetical order when viewing tracks instead of by track number so this issue could be related when viewing tv shows. You may have to use an older version of XBMC, pre Dharma unfortunately until they figure out how they want to handle the sorting in the newer builds.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP 1.3.3 and BubbleUPnP Server 0.5.2 are available (it might takes a few hours for the new BubbleUPnP version to be visible on the Market).

Upgrading BubbleUPnP Server is not absolutely required although it is a good idea to do so.

BubbleUPnP 1.3.3

OpenHome Control Point [BETA!]

Support for controlling OpenHome renderers created with BubbleUPnP Server from any UPnP AV Renderer.

An OpenHome Renderer has the following advantages over a regular UPnP AV renderer:

each renderer has its own playlist

no need to leave BubbleUPnP running for playlist track advance to happen

several OpenHome Control Points (BubbleUPnP, Linn Kinsky) can be connected to the same renderer, showing identical playlist and playback state

For example you can make a playing playlist on your phone, exit BubbleUPnP, and sometimes later pickup the same playlist on your tablet (or your PC/MAC

with Linn Kinsky).

Other Changes

local media server can now list two custom mount points (see Settings > Local Media Server > Content for setup). Useful to access additional external storage (ex: second SD card on Sony Tablet S, mounted on /sdcard2)

local media server improvements when browsed from WMP: no duplicates, correct Album Artist, ability to browse by folders

improved local media server folders loading times

fixed local media server failing serving files with special characters

fixed error 716 when playing from Synology NAS to Samsung TVs

fixed rare crash on start

fixed rare crash when playing http stream from another app

fixed WMP12 "Play to" not able to change local renderer volume

fixed some actions possibly taking a long time to complete on ICS

fixed playlist sometimes truncated to 16 tracks on app startup with the license

fixed rare case where the Local Media Server or Renderer advertised on the LAN would not appear in BubbleUPnP instances running on other devices

fixed app lowering music volume for all music streams on transient audio focus notification (Navigation app directions could not be heard because of this if BubbleUPnP was playing music)

added advanced option "Enable UPnP Search". Disable it if searching your Media Server takes a long time, so current Library folder can be searched instantly.

added "Enqueue and play" action in Settings > Item tap action

other fixes and tweaks

BubbleUPnP Server 0.5.2

fixed video transcoding possibly not working on non-Windows installs

video transcoding can be customized with preset file libx264-current.ffpreset. The content of this file can be modified or replaced with one of the presets found in the ffpresets sub-directory to control transcoding parameters

fixed server sometimes not starting on boot as a Windows Service

fixed seeking not working in Linn Kinsky when operating an OpenHome Renderer

various stability fixes

This application looks very nice.

I've just come to the realization that DLNA may be useful in our house, so have some newbie questions before trying BubbleUPnP, if you don't mind:

I'd like to use a tablet in our back yard to:

(1) List the audio files on our media server and control their playback through outside speakers

(2) Stream audio from the tablet (using Pandora, etc.) through the same outside speakers

I can imagine various ways this might be possible, so am wondering what might be a reasonable cost method of getting this outdoor streaming setup going, perhaps using BubbleUPnP as the primary tablet software for streaming and playback control.

I have a Windows 7 server without any DLNA-type connections, the tablet and outdoor speakers as a start. So, what would I need to make the rest of this configuration work?

A wireless network card for the media server would seem an obvious starting point.

I was thinking that it would be ideal to have a peripheral that drives the speakers, but could also offer playlists and actually play/stream audio files from our media server. If it could also stream audio data directly from the tablet, that would be sweet. Not sure if such things exist, as this is a new area of research for me, admittedly.

I can see other configuration possibilities as well, but curious what others do for this type of need and if BubbleUPnP would seem a good solution to help bring all the control + streaming needs together, in this case.

Yes, I'll be scouring the A/V forums for ideas as well, but figured that folks here might already have similar experiences to share that may apply.

Thanks,

[Android Apps and Games] ooofest:
Hm, after reading around, I'm leaning towards a Logitech Squeezebox Touch - it's beyond the price I was hoping to pay, but seems to have most of the flexibility I wanted (except for streaming directly from the android phone/tablet, but it can play Pandora and other Internet streaming services natively).

Choose YouTube Stream Quality

Hi. Love the app. Wondering if it's possible to choose which stream is received when I share from YouTube through bubble on 2 android devices.

Use case: buble is installed on my phone and on my asteroid smart - an android based head unit for my car. Hot spot is enabled on my phone so that both devices are on the same network (phone is acting as a router).

I share a youtube video to bubble on my phone. Bubble on my radio is set as the render, and mx player is installed on my radio. I can send a video to my car radio from my phone. Awesome!

The problem: car head unit doesn't support hw decoding and stutters on 720p video.

Can you give us the option to choose which YouTube stream is sent? 480p would play.perfectly on my car radio.

Remote Control Video Player

Hi.

I've installed BubbleUPnP on an android box, then push video from a phone (DMS+DMC) to the android box (DMR). For some reason whenever I push the video, BubbleUPnP would prompt message like "need to go to settings/local renderer/video player remote control".

So I went. When I clicked on Remote Control Video player, there's popup box saying "Select a video player" but I could not see or select anything. Do I need to install something else to make this work?

Thank you very much.

Audiocast and PURE Jongo speakers

Hi,

I have been using BubbleUPnP for a while and enjoying the Audio Cast feature (I purchased a license).

Audio Cast works fine with the Chromecast but it doesn't work when trying to use it with a PURE Jongo speaker.

BubbleUPnP works fine when I use my Jongo speaker as a renderer but if I enable the Audio Cast mode then it tries to connect but then it doesn't succeed. So to summarize the UPnP functionality of the speaker works fine but Audio Cast doesn't work.

Is there any way I can fix it?

Cheers,

Hi,

I have found some issue with the top bar controls in the library view: When the album art color is similar to the app theme, the controls are not visible (see attached screenshots for dark theme with black album art. Same issue exists for light theme with white album art).

In addition there is a setting "Now Playing color art" which I have disabled. For the library view no such setting exists and the background color is derived from album art. Could there be an option to also disable the derived color for the library view?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
OK, I'll look into it.

There's no option for it currently but the the black theme force disable it (since v2.0.12).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Try to increase Settings > Audio cast > Audio Buffer length to 3000ms or 5000ms.

If it still doesn't work, try forcing WAV or LPCM with Settings > Audio cast > Audio Format.

And if it still doesn't work, send me a log file attempting to play Audio Cast, using default settings (Audio Format = "Auto", Audio Buffer length = "1000ms". See first post of this topic for logging instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Make sure you have a video player app installed on the DMR. MX Player is recommended if possible. It will be picked up as the default choice if installed.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I will add a quality setting in a future version.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You question is unclear. BubbleUPnP Server is not a media server and will not make your PC MKVs appear. You need a media server such as Serviio, XBMC etc.

BubbleUPnP Server is used for transcoding videos to Chromecast, whenever necessary.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If you get no audio, it means it is probably DTS or AC3 and needs transcoding. This is what BubbleUPnP Server is doing (when running and enabled), independently of the media server hosting the video.

With their default configurations, Serviio and Plex do not transcode and serve unmodified videos.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This is unusual and Serviio should be discovered immediately. Try to reboot your WiFi router and make sure it runs the latest firmware.

Eventually restart the Serviio service in case there'sa problem here.

photo slideshow music restarting

When i view photos from phone to tv bubble plays music, every chsnge of photo restarts the music which is extremely irritating, how can i turn the darn music off completely i csnnot find any option at all to select music nor turn it on or off
[Android Apps and Games] Estimated Prophet:
Is there a way to increase the number of artists and/or folders that the android app will display? When I'm looking at my library it only goes up to G and I have to do a search if I want to play anything beyond that.

Edit: I changed the Library Browse Method to Method 1 in the UPnP Tweaks section and it's working fine now.

BubbleUPNP Server wish list for gapless albums workaround

Hello

I have a number of renderers none of which support gapless and lots of classical albums that really sound terrible if played with gaps.

It would be really great if BubbleUPNP server implemented the same function as Foobar2000 "Playback Stream Capture" feature as this would allow any renderer to play gapless (albeit at the price of losing track information. Using Foobar is of course possible but I would like to run this on a NAS.

kind regards

Problems with streaming from google play music

In the past I was very happy with this app, but recently i have troubles streaming from google play music...

If i'm lucky, he plays one or two songs and then it stops.... (sometimes i see "action timeout" but not always)

It occurs both with the local renderer (nexus 7 2012) or with my speaker (philips aw3000).

I do not have those problems when using a local library like my pc...

I tried some different settings (longer action timeout,...) and I wired my "wireless" speaker but nothing seems to help.

What can I do to fix this ? It worked fine for months....

Thanks !

failed to retrieve video info

Hello ☺.

I have a problem when i want to stream to a chromecast stick. I tried xbmc and dvbviewer recording service upnp server. My ip is reachable over no-ip dyndns service. The connection test of the server is all green. The bubbleupnp server and the upnp server are running on a win 7 64bit machine.

I'm not sure, but can it be that the router has some problems to send the ffprobe results to my Android? The problem starts after i have changed my router. Port forwarding seems to be ok, because the untranscoded stream is ok.

I will send you my android log to your mail adress in a few minutes.

I hope my bad writing English is understandable ?.

Edit: the problem was definitely the new router. Manny new router doesn't support NAT loopback. Luckily i could change to an openwrt firmware.

BebbleUpNp service not start 1053

Its driving me nuts!

BubbleUpNp has been running quite long time for me on numerous PCs and devices but suddenly after the Java 7 to 8 update which removed Java 7 and failed on 8 Bubble service will not start. I have reloaded both X86 32 bit Java 7 and 8 now abundant times (re post earlier in this thread) . I've used SC DELETE Bubb....

YET STILL

Trying to start the service:

Windows could not start the BubbleUPnP Server service on Local Computer.

Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

Start/Programs/Bubble/Configure

a pop up:

Windows cannot find configure.url

Unloading/reloading Java isn't helping. What can help here? How can I track down the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] trondis23:
Bubbleguum,

I have just tried out the whole Bubble eco system, and I am very impressed! This is a fantastic system.

At home I have a Raspberry Pi. I use different server/player solutions (XBMC, Squeezeplug), but the one that made me try out the BubbleUPnP app was Minimserver plus Mediaplayer by Pete Hoyle. Minimserver is very fast and easy to maintain, so it is very well suited for a large library. I currently have around 1600 albums, over 16 000 tracks, and the server scans and updates the library a lot faster than other solutions I have tried . I listen to many kinds of music, including classical. Minimserver is especially good for classical music, since it supports search by composer. The Mediaplayer is also very good, with support for both airplay and songcast, plus it is gapless. And the Raspberry Pi is of course noiseless - no fans, and I use the digital signal from HDMI to my receiver. Combined with the BubbleUPnP app as control point this is close to perfect for me.

Recently I bought another Pi, this time a Banana Pi, which is slightly more powerful than the Raspberry Pi. I installed BubbleUPnP server on this. So now I can reach my home music library from work, or from whereever I am. I use Foobar2000 on my work computer. On the phone I can download songs for offline use, and the transcoded files are also gapless. So I am very happy with the system as it is.

Some requests fail to connect to Google streaming servers for who knows what reason:

I have no idea why it happens.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Maybe BubbleUPnP Server is half installed or the process running in a broken state.

- start the task manager, click "show process from all users", force kill BubbleUPnPServer.exe if running

- run the uninstaller

- reinstall it

If it still doesn't work, post the content of service.log, found in the install dir

Video durations reported wrong

Hey bubbleguum. Long time purchaser of your app, and I use it on the daily to listen to music through Foobar. It's amazing!

Recently I started streaming videos to Chromecast using XBMC as my server. It works essentially flawlessly, except many of my videos are having their durations reported incorrectly inside bubbleupnp. All hours get rounded and convert to minutes and seconds get lopped off: i.e., a 2 hr 20 minute movie shows up as 2 minutes 0 seconds in the app. It will cast just fine, but seeking doesn't work past the 2 minute mark (because the app thinks it's the end). Also, pausing it past the end, and then restarting it will sometimes cause the video to stop. This is obviously bad if it happens 2 hours into a movie and you can't seek back to the spot you were at.

I'm seeing it on MP4s and MKVs, all using AVC encoding, but it works on other AVC MP4s and MKVs as well. I haven't been able to determine anything different about the videos themselves using MediaInfo. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What exact version of XBMC are you using ? BubbleUPnP gets the video duration from the media server, so I guess XBMC gets it wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] MordredKLB:
I'm using XBMC 13.2. Video durations in XBMC show correctly, it's only while browsing them through BubbleUPnP that they show weird.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I double checked my code and the duration doesn't come at all from XBMC but either from the Chromecast, or if the Chromecast doesn't return a duration and you run BubbleUPnP Server, from ffprobe. Send me a log file playing a video with a bogus duration as it will tell where the duration comes from. My guess: from Chromecast. See first post of this topic for logging instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] MordredKLB:
Actually, I think it is coming from XBMC (the video duration shows in the library view in bubbleUPnP so it must). However, I'm pretty sure I've tracked down the problem. It appears to be a scraper issue as I checked the c11 column of XBMC's movie table, and the videos that show incorrectly have values of 60, 120, and 180. Movies that show correctly have values of 5760, etc. Looks like the scraper is storing hours as minutes, and screwing things up. Also, I can tell which scraper scraped which files, and all the videos reported incorrectly are from the same one.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, the duration comes from XBMC finally. What I said in my previous message is true only if the media server doesn't return a duration (and when the file is played).
[Android Apps and Games] roppp:
I am not sure if it helps to fix this issue, but I attached also a log file. I cleared the thumbnail cache, then I activated logging and restarted BubbleUPnP. Then I put the album from the screenshot in the playlist. Why are half of the covers displayed correctly and the other half not? Any idea how I can solve this issue?

Thank you very much for help in advance.

[Android Apps and Games] milindsmart:
it seems to REQUIRE the bubbleupnp server

I'm trying to play music from Windows Media sharing DLNA. BubbleUPnP was recommended by http://www.pcworld.com/article/245888/how_to_stream_digital_media_from_your_windows_7_pc.html?page=2, so I thought it would be fairly simple...

The app gives ZERO feedback about whether it is searching on the LAN at all! All I see again and again is the Cloud option.... But the play store says that it can play from arbitrary DLNA sources.

So let's clear it up : Can it or can it not play arbitrary sources?

And please do add some distinction between local and network sources : essential to check if some server is not working fine.

I wish I could have said something more positive, but it didn't work at all, and this approach of assuming that media will AUTOMATICALLY show up over the network is infuriating.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The logs doesn't show album art possible failures. In any case, it is probably a media server specific problem. Try MinimServer, it will probably work with your covers.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can you resend these logs, I do not remember seeing them.
[Android Apps and Games] roppp:
Thanks for your reply. I will try MinimServer.

To solve the issue with the Synology Server, what would help to debug the problem? Should I provide a tcpdump or anything else?

(I would prefer to have only one server running on the diskstation and the Synology server performs quite well for videos...)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's no easy way to troubleshoot this without me doing a special build of BubbleUPnP with more logging, only to realize it is yet another media server problem. MinimServer is lightweight and excellent for music.
[Android Apps and Games] fiber7:
