Hello bubbleguuum,

i have a problem with google music: If i create a playlist of a radio station from the google music app i can see that playlist in bubbleupnp but it has no titles inside.

I tried that with different amount of titles but the playlists stays empty in bubbleupn. Could you please take a look at it?

Thank you.

Make sure you did not freeze Google Play Services or did bad things to it with root apps, to save battery.

If not the case, please send me a log file, logging the first minute or so. See first post of this topic for details.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes I'll look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Not sure I understand exactly what you want to do but having LTE and WiFi at the same time can be problematic for apps like BubbleUPnP, especially as far as routing is concerned as Android is somewhat retarded in that area and does not behave like other OSes.

The only way I can really understand what happens is that you send me a log file up to something that doesn't work, detailing your network setup and actions in detail, and what you expected to happen.

How to play .strm streams on Android using BubbleUPnP?

I have BubbleUPnP server running and able to browse its libraries on my android but none of my video players seem to support .strm.

I do have Kodi installed on the android but whenever I try to send the .strm to it nothing happens.

I also have Plex installed but can't figure out how to get it on the list of video players as an option on the android.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

hide filesystem ?

hi

i want to be able to browse filesystem locally but hide the whole filesystem on remote devices without hiding the custom mount points . can someone please help me, this is driving me crazy and i have tried every thing in "Excluded remote folders" and nothing worked .

Yes, that is exactly the issue I was talking about. Any way to fix the retardation issue that Android has?

I don't see the log file on either root explorer or connected to my computer at this location:

/Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp/log.txt found on the (internal) SD Card

I checked both the internal and external SD cards. I did get the warning message that audiocast was logged when starting BubbleUPnP, so logging was definitely enabled.

I followed these steps

1. Started BubbleUPnP

2. Menu -> AudioCast -> Logging

3. Go back to Now Playing -> Exit button

4. Restarted app

5. Started Spotify and started shuffle play first (needs LTE to retrieve a song)

6. Connected to the Sabrent (WiFi audio receiver)

7. Went back to BubbleUPnP -> menu -> local renderer -> selected my device -> turned on audio cast slider.

-I let it play through a song and go through another (Spotify will automatically retrieve the next song using LTE)

-When it starts the next song, I skipped it and Spotify will hang/say no internet connection as it tries to retrieve the next song from WiFi(which has no internet) instead of LTE.

8. I stop audiocast, turn the slider off, and hit exit on BubbleUPnP.

What I want to happen is, I want BubbleUPnP to be the only one to connect to the WiFi audio receiver in step 6 when AudioCast is on. I want everything else outside of BubbleUPnP to be connected to my LTE, so I can access GPS/stream music/etc while in the car.

Subtitles not working anymore with Chromecast 38401

Hi,

After my Chromcast was recently updated to firmware version 38401 (from 27946), subtitles have stopped working. There were no other changes to my setup that used to display subtitles just fine. My setup is

Chromecast 38401

Windows 7

Serviio media server: no transcoding, subtitles enabled, no subtitle burn-in

BubbleUPnP server 0.9-update9

BubbleUPnp Android app version 2.4.1 and the previous version

There are others experiencing the same with Chromecast 38401: https: //productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chromecast/Py8BGKySRRI;context-place=forum/chromecast (please remove the space after https: -- apparently as a new user I can't post links yet...)

Now I can only see subtitles if I enable burned-in subtitles in Serviio. Unfortunately this makes playback on Chromecast really choppy.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thank you for the report. It turns out that a minuscule detail changed in that firmware and broke subs.

Hopefully an easy fix is coming soon, once my Chromecast is updated to this firmware.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You cannot hide the whole Filesystem hierarchy but only subfolders of it, specified in the "Exclude remote folder settings".

The paths to folders to exclude are absolute so if you want to exclude the Android folder at the root of your SD Card, you must specify

/storage/emulated/0/Android as the folder to exclude.

The specified excluded directories will also filter out files listed in the Audio, Video and Images folders, if these files are in one of the excluded dirs.

If you still have the problem with the license, double-check that you have not freezed the licence APK (for it not to appear in the app drawer),

with 'pm shell disable', Titanium Backup or any app that allow to freeze apps. This will definitely make license verification fail.

The license APK can be hidden from the app drawer by launching the license app and selecting 'Hide'.

Cover art in minimserver's folder view not updated

Hello,

I am using the latest BubbbleUPnP app version on a Nexus 5 with minimserver on a synology NAS DS213+ and found the following issue:

After updating some cover.jpg files in different folders and adding some in other folders, the completely new cover art (in folders that have not had some before) is displayed fine, but the updated files are not updated in the BubbleUPnP library's folder view. To be exact the icon for the folder is not updated, but stepping into the folder you see the new art for the files inside the folder.

I have tried the "Reload" menu entry in the library. Also I have cleared the thumbnail cache from the BubbleUPnP settings. This did not help either. The author of minimserver found out that clearing the complete app's Android cache does help. (I have the same problem with the naim app, but I think this is an independent issue of this software?)

I would expect that a reload in the library view reloads the album art as well. At least clearing the thumbnail cache should lead to a new fetched cover art.

The minimserver thread regarding this issue: As I am not allowed to post an URL here, I try it without the "http" protocol:

Hi Michael,

Regarding the control point looks, would you please consider the inclusion of an option to disable display of renderer and media server icons on tablets. I just noticed the looks on my phone (no icons by default) is so much more elegant... For the record, I use whitebear media server renderer, and that icon is so ugly that hurts! :)

Cheers and take care, Marcos
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It's KitKat vs Lollipop. No icon on Lollipop. No plan to change that nor add another super obscure setting.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, if your USB storage is mounted and seen by file managers such as ES File Explorer.

In that case, you can add the mount point of your USB storage in Settings > About/Help > Local Media Server > Custom Mount Point.

It will then be browsable in the Library tab, at the root of the local media server.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Reload only reloads the contents of the folder.

Clearing the thumbnail cache should always work but until the latest update (v2.4.1) there was a bug where clearing the thumbnail file cache was not clearing cached thumbnails in memory. So you may want to retry with that version.

it should send the URL contained in the strm rather than a link to the strm, so it can play anywhere.

Connecting to Chromecast slower than previous versions

I am using the latest version 2.4.1 licenced version of bubbleupnp, earlier in the year connecting to the Chromecast was much quicker, these days the initial page on Chromecast showing bubbleupnp on black background with slight gradient loads slowly.

Are there plans to support WebDAV as a source for media files? It would complete the list of supported cloud providers.
[Android Apps and Games] :
That is true but none of my media players are able to play the http streams for some reason.

I first get "Warning: Failed to retrieve video info" and then when I choose MX Player Pro for an example, I get "Can't Play this Link" on everything. I do see thumbnails in BubbleUPnP but that's about it.

Having added cloud support in the recent release, can you add a control in Settings/Library to stop displaying cloud in the library view (similar to the bookmarks & virtual folders controls); I don't use Qobuz or other commercial cloud services.

On the other hand, if you supported access to WD MyCloud drives, that would be useful...

Multi zone receiver issues

Hi, I finally bought the license as I've found this software the fastest and easiest way to play music in my Marantz NR1602 receiver.

There's just an issue with the multi zone feature of my receiver, which allows to play streams either in the main room or in another (zone 2). In other media controllers, the receiver is seen as two receivers, one of for the main zone and the other for zone 2, so I can choose where to play the music.

In BubbleUPNP only one receiver is shown, so in order to play in the zone 2 I have to switch off the main zone first. Also, volume control in zone 2 does not seem to work, though it might be a Marantz bug.
[Android Apps and Games] Koying:
I'm a bit confused (bear with me, it's my first android app ;) ).

For the additional info, I just use intent.putExtra("artist", ..., right?

I'll put the provider (i.e. "Youtube", ...) into the "artist". That looks more useful than the actual alias of the uploader to me...

You mean that doesn't exist in BubbleUpnp yet, right? Otherwise, which keyname should I use?

I thought the connectivity notification triggered BubbleUpNP when switching networks, my bad. It hasn't restarted itself today, despite leaving for work & returning home. Just about when i think it cured itself, i read post 923..., which describes what i experienced yesterday ( i stopped the app 3 times yesterday). It has me stumped. Otherwise; great app!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I think I found the cause of the this: the app handling of media keys (play, pause, next, ...) that can be triggered in various way

- real physical keys on a device with a keyboard

- playback buttons on a headset

- an app simulating those key presses

- in a car, some bluetooth controls emulate those media keys for playback control

If the app does not run, in some cases, the triggering of one of those media keys can start the app.

Until I fix this (media keys should only operate if the app is running) you can disable them in Settings > Advance Settings > Media Keys.

Let me know if those restarts disappear once this setting is disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Sure the provider will do.

You can use "artwork" for the extra name. It already exists actually but only handle filesystem Uris. I will modify it to handle http Uris.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the feedback.

I'm not 100% sure how the Marantz presents the 2 zones. It can either be exposed as 2 separate renderers in which case the app would list them, or a single one with 2 sub devices. It is probably the latter.

Could you record and send me a log file as explained in the first post of this topic.

Hello to all.

I have a issue with my NAS DLink DNS-320 and the BubbleUPnP in my Galaxy Nexus ICS 4.0.2. I connect perfect and all works fine. I can see the folders of the NAS, and i can play videos .avi .mkv and others, but... I cant play music!! I add it to play list, and after i see it in playing now... but... dont start. Do you have any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] Tjynde:
Hey Bubble. Awsome app you got!

Couldn't find any apps where i could have my PC (WMP) as the media server and my WD TV live hub as the renderer, but this app really do the trick!

But... I got one very annoying problem.

I got a HTC One X and when i turn off the screen while BubbleUpnp is running and music is playing and i turn on the screen again, i can't choose another song and the program gives a toast saying "Action timeout" a couple of times. Then suddenly i can choose a song again.

First i thought it was my own wifi, but if i play a song, close the program (the song will still play through my wdtv), turn off the screen, turn on the screen and open the program, there is no problem at all.

I tried the same with my internet explorer. If the program is running with a song playing and i turn off the screen, turn on the screen again and open the explorer i can't connect to any site.

Though if i play a song, close the program (again. the song will still play as it should), open the explorer, i can easily got online to any site.

Any ideas on what this could be. It seems like the wifi on the phone get's disturbed. Maybe this only happends on One X, but overall it's killing me since i love this app! :D

Bubbleguuum, I'd like to +1 Harry's request. Using a tablet in landscape mode is very common, and having a split view with the Playlist on one side makes it a very convenient view.

And I'll ask once again for a view that shows the Shuffled Playlist. I have many .m3u playlists set up in my server, but if I select one of them and use BubbleUPnP to Shuffle it, I should be able to use the app to view and manage what I just asked it to do.

Please?
[Android Apps and Games] harry_b:
second try:o

I have a few suggestions:

It would be nice, it would be possible, to add a song from the library or current "playing" playlist, to a existing local playlists.

Currently we can only save the actual "playing" playlist by overwriting the existing playlist, but i want add some more songs to an existing local playlist.

Also, a syncronisation of the present local playlists to the other instances of BubbleUPnP in the network would be nice.

Workaround: I load a saved playlist on the tablet (using a openhome render) and save the upcoming playlist on the second instace of BubbleUPnP runing on the Phone.

Furthermore, it would be great, I can determine in the Setup, which different Renderer is to use with which content of media.

thereabout

Musik: Everytime the Render "xxx" is found in the network, use it by default for playing musik, if not available use Render "yyy", at last play musik local.

Video: Everytime the Render "yyy" is found in the network, use it by default for playing "video", if not available use Render "zzz", at last play video local.

Picture: always play local

One X wifi issue

Hello Bubbleguuum,

Firstly, having tried all the upnp android apps yours is the most intuitive and feels very polished. Very, very good work, congratulations. Looking at this thread you are also very dedicated and responsive, which is much appreciated. I have been hitting my head against the htc one x issue mentioned recently which is probably phone specific as I get the exact same problem on each upnp app. My desire works perfectly. I have contacted htc about the problem and they are asking whether the app is compatible with ICS and whether it has been tested with the one x. They are happy to file a bug if we are convinced it is an issue with the phone and not the app.

Anyway, I will send you my log file via email in the hope that you can code around the issue or perhaps lead us to a workaround. At the very least we can provide some feedback to htc if necessary.

The precise set up I have is foobar as media library and renderer on win 7. Connect to library first time no problem, play queue, put phone in pocket for a few minutes, go back and can't browse library nor pause the renderer. It kills wifi altogether. The only way to get back on track is by closing bubbleupnp completely and restarting wifi. Very frustrating. Interestingly it seems if I continue browsing the net or using wifi the problem does not arise, but that's not a convenient workaround!

Cheers,

Tristan
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
From the log, it really looks like it could be due to this not app specific bug:

> You can disable cloud services individually in Settings > Local media server > [cloud service] > Enable.

Thanks. I guess I wasn't expecting cloud services to appear under _Local_ Media Servers. Is it time to remove the 'Local' part of that name...? Or do we think of cloud services as 'virtually local' servers?

> No plan for WD MyCloud, Webdav, SMB/CIFS, FTP, ...

Don't worry, that was a somewhat tongue-in-cheek request; I anticipate it would be difficult to get WD or Synology etc. to release an API for remote access.

However, browsing the menu system, I was reminded that I have Bubble Server installed on my Android Media box, and this creates a proxy server to my Twonky media server that I could access securely via BubbleUPnP. This would essentially enable 'personal cloud' access. I may have a play with that.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The 'local' part of local media server refers to a media server that runs locally. It happens to serve local and cloud content.

Though I understand how it can be confusing.

> No plan for WD MyCloud, Webdav, SMB/CIFS, FTP, ...

hehe ok but someone recently mentionned Webdav, hence this preemptive list.

That's exactly what it is for. UPnP/DLNA was originally meant for LAN only. BubbleUPnP Server brings it accessible via the Internet, securely and taking into account limitations (eg transcoding to adapt to reduced bandwidth). You can even run it on a dedicated host (+ a media server) to make it 100% cloud.

Speaking of which, BubbleUPnP Server can now be easily installed on Ubuntu 15.04 as I added systemd support to the package.
