Any clue what it might mean? I'm not running any other streams.

Metadata from another media center

Is there any BubbleUPnP app development to show more information (like high resolution backdrop, IMDB rating, youtube triler link, send metadata info to Chromecast, etc.) from movie metadata send by another media center ?

Normally the media center collect a lot of metadata information but BubbleUPnP app has a very limited metadata presentation.

Regards,
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Try forcing "Audio Format" to LPCM. If you still have these message, send me a log file (see first post of this topic).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If you need super rich metadata for movies, use Plex (the app).

BubbleUPnP doesn't gather metadata and it is out of its scope.

starting problems

At the start of BubbleUPnP missing the button "Audio Cast". I should be turning on "BubbleUPnP" in the program Xposed. It is always enabled. I have to turn it off and restart. Activate again and reboot. Until I see the button "Audio Cast". When listen to the music, there are dropouts. I am newbie what can I do. Which logfile do you need? Thanks for the help.
[Android Apps and Games] rogerlesourd:
Hello Bubblegum, and thanks so much for your Android app! I use it daily, be it at home or on the go.

One question though: do you plan to allow the "comment" field to be seen inside the app (metadata screen) for a given track?.I listen to a lot of Classical, and there is info I would really appreciate in this fied.

Otherwise, thanks again

Hey all, hoping someone can help me out.

I've got some mkv videos on my htc m8 that I want to play on my PS3. The PS3 won't play mkvs and says unsupported data. I hoped that accessing the files via BubbleUPnP would work but no such luck. I'm sure there is a way that you can play them. Transcoding? But I don't know how and was hoping someone here could explain it for me.

I've got BubbleUPnP with the license, and mx player with codecs. I can play mkv videos on the phone in mx player - tho the sound only works with s/w decoding. I just don't know how to get that streaming to the PS3. Thanks in advance guys.

[MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION] since server 0.9 update4 I get "failed to upload subtitle" error (external subtitles) when streaming to chromecast... The only change was the server update so I think it is related...

Hi just btw fixed my stuttering issue by fiddling with hardware/software settings in mx player. And btw the scroll buttons that appear on the lock screen don't work when playing videos. Normally I can long press and advance the specified amount but when the screen is locked they don't function. The pause button works though. The whole thing only shows up when the screen turns off by itself. If I lock the screen by pressing the button on my phone, there is no display even though I have a video playing. I have to unlock then lock it a few times to get the navigation functions to show up. Also trying to scroll through the navigation bar in the lock screen causes the whole thing to disappear and the video resets from the start. The lock screen function is very buggy, just wanted to report so you know.

bubbleguum,

About the issue of non-compliant FLACs behaving strangely on Samsung devices (Galaxy Note 4 in my case), I have found the culprit: it's a Samsung service called SoundAlive, which luckily can be turned off.

According to Samsung SoundAlive is supposed to "enhance" audio :eek:. After disabling SoundAlive, the snaps are gone!

I'm wondering if BubbleUPnP could be coded to automatically disable SoundAlive while BubbleUPnP is running - or is this "against the rules" or even technically possible? Just thinking if in this way the Android standard FLAC decoder could be used to play non-Subset compliant files also on Samsung?

If you need any testing help with this, I'd be happy to help.

Samsung TV - The selected file is not currently supported

[MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION]

Hi, I have the next scenario:

- Samsung UE40ES6100

- Bubbleupnp app v2.3 running on HTC One M8

- BubbleUpnpServer v0.9update2 running fine on Asus RT-AC56U router

- Minidlna v1.1.4 running fine on Asus RT-AC56U router

All working fine if I choose as device minidlna server from the list and and after go to Library / Video / and play a video to TV

If I choose minidlna from bubbleupnp server list when I choose a video file to play on TV I get error on my tv "the selected file is not currently supported"

It's strange because is the same file.

This happend on samsung tv's, tried on 2 models but it works fine on LG tv's tied still with 2 different models.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This failure is not related to update4 and fixed since yesterday. No update or anything needed.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What device / ROM / Android version are you using ?

If your device reboots, it's a ROM bug.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Try to force numeric ip addresses for streams. I vaguely remember Samsung TVs needing it to accept to

load content:

- stop BubbleUPnP Server

- add to configuration.xml: <useNumericIpInStreamURL>true</useNumericIpInStreamURL>

- start BubbleUPnP Server
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP can display the UPnP "Description" field in the metadata dialog that some media servers map to the "Comment" tag in files.

For this to work you need a media server that maps "Comment" to "Description", which will not be the case of most media server (which just do not

expose comment). MinimServer is known to work.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
the PS3 is limited in video format it can play and MKV requires transcoding. BubbleUPnP do not do this and you'll need a dedicated media server that supports PS3 transcoding, such as Serviio or PS3 Media Server (I recommend the former). Then you browse Serviio on your PS3 and BubbleUPnP is not involved at all (the PS3 is not a renderer and cannot be remotely controlled).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If it plays but you have dropouts, increase Settings > Audio Cast > Audio buffer size
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the info about SoundAlive as this can explain issues people have been reporting with FLAC on Samsung.

There's no way for BUbbleUPnP to disable it.

This is not the reason non-Subset FLAC are not supported by the Samsung FLAC decoder. On Samsung devices, BubbleUPnP automatically

switches to the own FLAC decoder if it detects a non-Subset FLAC, so the file plays.
[Android Apps and Games] TeHashX:
Unfortunately I get the same error, must me something else.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok, then send me a BubbleUPnP Server log file:

- stop BubbleUPnP Server

- edit configuration.xml: add <enableStreamProxyRequestLog>true</enableStreamProxyRequestLog>

- start BubbleUPnP Server

- play a video that fails to your Samsung TV

- send me BubbleUPnPServer.log.0 (bubbleguuum@free.fr)
[Android Apps and Games] Uoppi:
And the (only?) downside to this was that gapless isn't working, right?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, and the own FLAC decoder only supports seeking if the FLAC contain seek points. The non-Subset transcoded FLAC are not seekable anyway.

Thanks for your reply.

I use foobar with foo_upnp as well as bubbleupnpserver, is it possible to do such a thing ?

Edit: I managed to do it, just by adding one line to the file LargeFieldsConfig.txt in foobar appdata folder! Hurrah, I can now put a lot more info in my files :D
[Android Apps and Games] rogerlesourd:
Anoher question while I'm here: if I use the Image viewer inside the Android app, I can only see one picure (which I usually name folder.jpg inside the file's folder).

What filenames does Bubbleupnp look for when making a slideshow? I would really appreciate seeing my back covers for example, even booklet pages when possible.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] lgomezr:
Thanks, I'm currently use Mezzmo as media server in combination with BubbleUpnP server and BubbleUpnP app to stream media to chromecast, this combination provide "good" metadata information.

I have another question for you, do you think in the future use the BubbleUpnP server/BubbleUpnP App combination to transcode media to another type of renders with the same efficiency of chomecast media transcode.

For example, if I use BubbleUpnp App to Chromecast the Mezzmo server send the media to BubbleUpnp Server but if I use BubbleUpnP App to another type of renders the Mezzmo server send the media directly to the render.

From my point of view the on-the-fly media transcoding is much more efficient in BubbleUpnP server and I want use it always if the media need transcoding.

TIDAL problems Streaming to openhome renderer - continued

problems returned with bubbleupnp client 2.3.1 and bubbleupnp server 0.9 update 4...

was gone for a week, but had it working prior to these 2 updates. At the time, you helped me determine there was some odd behavior between my openvpn server and streaming from cloud due to broadcast. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58325330&postcount=8468

To work around the issue, i moved my openvpn server to another host and then it was possible to stream TIDAL to an openhome renderer (gmrender-resurrect was working quite well).

Since these updates, TIDAL will not play and the app crashes when trying to stream to an openhome renderer. TIDAL WILL play if streaming to the local renderer on the handset & it will also play to a non-openhome renderer. I have rebooted server and handset - no change. I've also shutdown my openvpn server, although, as stated, now on another machine so should be completely out of the picture.

bubbleupnp on handset reports that it has sent a log... do you need anything else?

thanks.

Mp4 Files not palying and showing up with headphone icon

Hi guys, I really need help with this. Im trying to play mp4 video files from the hard drive connected to my router. The files all show up but when you go to play the video you get "media not supported by chromecast" But chromecast is suppose to support mp4 isnt it?

Great! I was able to transfer my long playlist of favourite internet radio stations from my tablet to my smartphone this way.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You would get this error if the media server on your router does not identify these videos with a mp4 mime-type. What is the file extension of the videos ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, the local media server must be running.

To make it less confusing if it is not started (disabled in Settings), I've made a change to automatically start it if needed for Chromecast local transcoding duties, without it appearing as a Library.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It's a known issue introduced in v2.3.1, playing TIDAL to OpenHome renderers (it crashes).

Until it is fixed in the next update, you can revert to v2.3
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If you mean starting the image viewer in the Now Playing screen to view the current track cover, there's always only one image, the one set by the media server managing this item.

I will really like this too.

I have an xbox one which is very dumb regarding subtitles. I will like the possibility to force transcoding from Bubbleupnp Server to burn subtitle in it.

(I have a huge déjà vu feeling, maybe I already ask :P )

I heard of an windows app that could probably do it, but it is expensive and it claim it transcode to xbox but I am not sure it can force transcoding of already compatible format just for subtitles purpose. (I won't name the app here)

In a perfect word, it will be nice if we can easily enable /disable transcoding on the fly and if we can select the subtitle manually for each movie (internal/external source, different language, etc... ) each time exactly like it is when played locally.

If impossible, maybe a place on the server where you can manually select movies and create a list of preconfigured settings for them.

Set renderer intent.

Hi. I'm trying to use Tasker to set the renderer (Kitchen). This can be done using an intent where "The renderer is specified with a "name" string extra whose value if the renderer name as displayed in the BubbleUPnP renderer list (case sensitive)." Could someone please give me an example of how this would be entered as everything I try comes back with "cannot set renderer. Missing intent extra"

Many thanks.

Renderer's native volume control bypassed

Hi all. Playing music from my Synology NAS onto my Samsung TV via LAN using Bubble on my android phone (nexus 5 lollipop unlocked rooted) used to mean that when I adjusted the volume on bubble, via the phone's hardware volume keys, it used the TV's volume interface (which looks like it goes from 0-100). I've not used the setup in a while; since returning to it, having upgraded to Lollipop & the latest bubble, the volume is controlled by an on-screen blue slider, rather than the native 0-100 circle. I suspect that this is due to lollipop, since on the android screen it shows the 'cast' volume slider adjusting.

Has anyone else noticed this? I've tried changing Volume Keys (was on, now off) and Volume Step (was 5, tried 0 and 20) in 'Control'. I'm not seeing anything in this thread which directly relates. Any thoughts? Might it be that lollipop's introduction of a dedicated 'cast volume' means bubble no longer can use the renderer's default volume controls?

Cheers!

Library not updating

I have Paid BubbleUNPN v2.3.2 on my Nexus 5 Latest software 5.01.

My server is a Asus RT-AC68U with a USB Hard drive attached that stores all my Music and Movies.

If I select my local Server (1TB_Server) and brows Folders I can only see some of the directories and some of the files. It seem like BubbleUpnp only loaded some of them.

If I got to ESfile-explorer I can see all the directories and files, I can also pick the files that does not show in BubbleUPNP and play it True BubbleUPNP.

How do I force BubbleUPNP to update the library more often.

Time remaining problem

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's probably because you have this option enabled: Settings > Library > Show track number.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP only displays the file and folders that your media server indexed and return to the app. If some are missing, then you must tell your media server to reindex the folders, or research why it doesn't index some file/folders (could be because it doesn't support certain file types, filesystem permission issues, ...). In general, media servers running on routers are extremely limited in the files they support (and metadata extraction).

ES File Explorer uses SMB/CIFS which is different that UPnP/DLNA browsing, and just straight filesystem access to the files.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
In the Tasker Intent form, you must enter the renderer's display name in an Extra field. For example, if your renderer name is "Kitchen", enter:

name:Kitchen
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Difficult to answer this if you do not tell where this TS comes from, what media server is serving it, and on what renderer you are playing it (video app if Android). In any case, even with that information, it's probably an issue with the renderer (or app) playing it, not BubbleUPnP.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Normally when your SamungTV is active in BubbleUPnP and you use hardware volume keys, you should see a custom black toast displaying "Volume: X".

Is it not what you see ?
[Android Apps and Games] dez93_2000:
Hiya. On the TV screen I see a custom blue bar on black background, although there's no "Volume: X". I was wondering whether it's possible to have bubble use the TV's default volume slider like it used to before?

EDIT: Apologies for this. I realised that I was previously casting my NAS via bubble through the chromecast to the TV. Recently I have been casting my NAS via bubble through the LAN cable to the TV, cutting out the chromecast and meaning the bubble control keys now activate the TV controls (the circle I referred to) rather than the chromecast controls (black bar). Hopefully this can help others!!

Hi again bubbleguuum, sorry for all the posts recently!

I found what I think is a bug. Steps to reproduce (the bug):

1. In library, navigate to an album folder, go in it, pick a song from the middle of the album ("Song 5") and enqueue it.

2. Then back up one level to the list of albums, and enqueue that whole album

3. go to playlist and tap the first item (Song 5) to play it. The playing symbol appears on the right of this item, and also the other instance of Song 5, lower in the list.

4. Click he 3 dots on the right of the SECOND instance of Song 5, to remove it, so that you listen to Song 5, then the whole album from Song 1 onwards, without listening to Song 5 again.

5. The bug: The first instance of the song in the playlist is removed, which is the currently plying song, causing the music to stop. Rather than the second instance which the user selected for removal.

In investigating this, I also found that behaviour described as possible on this thread doesn't work for me: 3/9/11 you say you can remove a track by sliding its cover horizontally right; 1/7/13 winxi rebuts Rouquemoute's suggestion for sliding left/right to bring up different tabs by saying it would interfere with the track select function (at least, that's my interpretation!); 30/12/13 you confirm horizontal swiping of cover/title to remove/select items respectively. But these don't work for me. Vertical swiping of cover allows me to reorder the playlist; horizontal swiping anywhere moves to different tabs, as Rouquemoute proposed (unless I start from offscreen in which case the menu is brought up). Is there a setting to control this or is it a bug?

Cheers!!

Server has to be restarted

I'm been having an issue with the BubbleUPnP Server not being recognized by the Android app. I have server v0.9-Update4 installed as a Windows service and I'm on the latest Android version.

http://localhost:58050/ says my server is up and running. services.msc also says the server is running (startup automatic). However, chromecast transcoding is grayed-out in the Android app until I physically stop and restart the server. I have to do this every time I reboot my computer.

Android wifi on/off toggle and restarting the BubbleUPnP Android app, etc. won't do anything.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Try if rebooting your WiFi router fixes the problem. Make sure it is updated to the latest version. In the router settings check that "multicast discovery" is not disabled.

Android BubbleUPnP is sometimes only showing [Mobile] servers under Libraries in my LAN.

After restarting my HTPC, both the "normal" and [Mobile] instances of foobar2000 and XBMC are visible. Later at some point, when launching BubbleUPnP, it may happen that only the [Mobile] instances are showing. Restarting the BubbleUPnP server does nothing but rebooting my HTPC seems to always work (a very cumbersome "fix" because the HTPC is located on a different floor). The wi-fi signal is good so this is not caused by my phone switching to mobile data.

It's been like this for some time now, previously there were no such problems. I'm on Windows 8.1 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
