Just wanted to say thanks for this app! I had been using the official Oppo android App for my Oppo 103 which is woefully out of date, cannot read and playback local files, and frequently caused playback on my 103 to stutter or stop when using the built-in TIDAL service. BubbleUPnP works perfectly in its stead and allows for me to playback local files and even Newpipe youtube videos from my phone with complete ease. Amazing app, please continue to develop it! You earned a purchase on the Amazon Appstore from me.

Only thing I noticed is that with Qobuz (not Tidal) the track information and album art is not served to the media server. any way to fix this?

And any 103 and BubbleUPnP users have any tips for more functionality?
[Android Apps and Games] .:Stefan:.:
Hi @bubbleguuum ,

just a quick Q... is it a limitation of my renderer that Twitch (audio) streams won't be played on it?

If "sharing" a stream link from Twitch Android app to BubbleUPnP Android app for example, it gets added to the playlist. The stream itself in the playlist will be recognized as HLS.

When I now try to play it on my desired renderer, an older Jongo A2, simply nothing happens.

I can see that it tries to play the stream (as "remote audio PCM 16-Bit, 48kHz"), but then after 20 sec or so just nothing happens. No error etc.

I've activated transcoding (always) to make sure the BubbleUPnP Server will do this job but obviously something is wrong. Normally this Jongo A2 plays audio stuff pretty well, even though it's old from a current point of view.

Other audio files, such as those available locally on my NAS (MP3, FLAC) will be played fine always.

I want to understand why in this scenario no audio stream play is possible.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] BalooRJ:
Sorry to bump this topic so many years later. I've been attempting to use BubbleUPnP with Newpipe, using the share function from Newpipe to BubbleUPnP on the video stream. I am using the pro version of Bubble from the Amazon Appstore. However, no matter what video I stream, the stream will cut off close to the end of the video on my device (I am streaming to an Oppo BDP-103 Blu-Ray Player). Has anyone else run into this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] Magicbas:
Hi all,

I have been using BubbleUPnPServer on my former synology nas for years. Unfortunately, when I recently bought a new NAS I had to move to DSM 7 and thus no longer native BubbleUPnPServer.

I've been tinkering with docker for a while now and I got multiple containers running perfectly.

I also setup a docker container for BubbleUPnPServer, which is running fine. I can access the webGUI and do all the normal stuff.

However, when I tick the Create Openhome renderer in the Renderers tab, the newly created OpenHome renderer [renderername (openhome)] isn't being advertised on my LAN.

I'm not sure what's going wrong, but both Linn Kazoo (via android and Win11) and Android BubbleUPnP control points don't see the openhome renderer.

Do you guys have any pointers where to look in order for this issue to be solved? I can post the log if needed.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@BalooRJ

It really looks like a problem specific to this Oppo player. How long before the end of the video does it cut ?

Although i would not have high hopes, you can if you wish send me a log file, playing a video until it cut before the end. See first post of this topic for logging instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@Magicbas

I'm assuming that you are usig host networking (--net=host). You probably are anyway, since otherwise your renderer would not be detected by BubbleUPnP Server.

Difficult to tell what is causing this issue, but if a firewall is running on the Syno, I'd try with it entirely disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@.:Stefan:.

Please send me a log file, attempting to play a Twitch stream to your Jongo. See first post of this topic for logging instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] Magicbas:
Hi Bubblguuum,

Thanks for getting back to me on such short notice!

You're correct, I've setup the container to use the host network.

I do have a firewall in place on my synology, but truth be told I did allow for the upnp ports to go through.

I will try to disable the firewall entirely to see what happends. Although in my previous setup I also ran a firewall and openhome did advertise properly.
[Android Apps and Games] Magicbas:
Hmm, funny...turning off the FW did indeed allow for the openhome renderers to be advertised.

Do you know what ports (other then 58050/01) I need to allow?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@Magicbas

Not only you need to open UDP port 1900, but also allow incoming connections from within the LAN on any local port, as each OpenHome renderer use a random local port (1000-65535 range).
[Android Apps and Games] Magicbas:
Ahh, I don't know if I did that in my previous setup, but perhaps it was different with a native app vs the docker container.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, now I know where to look!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
looks like renderer specific bugs because what you mention works with other renderers. Send me a log file (see first post for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] fp.ath.cx:
i just wanted to gather the log-files regarding the volume-issues to send them back to you - but today everything works perfectly!? :silly: So I can't reproduce right now. If it will happen again, I'll collect the log-file right away. I restarted the NAS yesterday, where BubbleUPnP-Server runs. Perhaps that solved it. Next time I'll also try switching from the OpenHome-replica of the receiver to direct control, perhaps that makes a difference.

thanks anyway,

Mezzmo and Bubble Upnp Server

I have an strange problem that someone maby recognize.

I have installed Mezzmo on an Win 2003 server. Installed Bubble Upnp server.

From android clients I can easily connect and play all type of mediafiles from Mezzmo with bubble thoug LAN.

BUT if i try to use Bubble with "Device with Internet Access" (in Bubble menu Settings and networks. I have setup acces to my server) to Bubble Upnp server witch has Mezzmo as DLNA server Bubble cant play files and Mezzmo OR Bubble UpNp server makes the server hang.

This is how I have set it up:

On Win 2003 server

Mezzmo as DLNA server

Bubble Upnp server

Clients

Samsung android (tab and phones) with Bubble Upnp

2 different choices on andoid unit:

1 - Directy to Mezzmo - works just fine

2 - Throug internet - Can connect, can browse BUT cant play any files. get an errormsg: error opening file xxxx.mpg

If I look in Mezzmo when trying to play an mpg file I cant se any file that are transcoding when i use alternative 2 (throug internet). but when i go directly to Mezzmo (and it works) I can se in the statuswindow in Mezzmo that the file are transcoding.

I can se Bubble Upnp server as an device in Mezzmo so it seems that mezzmo and Bubble is "good friends".

I tryed to read logfiles but I cant se anything that seems useful.

So is there anyone who can give me some tip on what to do?
[Android Apps and Games] lotan_rm:
Thanks for the great app.

But of course I have a problem as well:

My song database has albums as well a single songs.

When pick an artist in the library, their albums are shown with the number of songs in brackets.

Single songs of an artist are seemingly grouped in the album "Unknown". The number of single songs of that artist is also appended in brackets. So far so good.

However, when I click on the "Unknown" album, I receive a list of

all

the single songs in my library. I would have expected to get only the ones of the artist I had previously picked. BubbleUPnP can obviously resolve the songs that belong to that artist, otherwise the number of songs in brackets after the "Unknown" album would have been much higher (the number of all single songs in my library).

I don't really like looking through all the single songs in my library to find the one I want. It defeats the purpose of previously picking an artist.

Did I miss a setting in BubbleUPnP?

Do you think I've misconfigured something in my UPnP AV server (I think that's less likely, as BubbleUPnP can resolve the songs belonging to an artist)?
[Android Apps and Games] winxi:
Hi, the BubbleUPnP control point will show exactly the contents it receives from the media server. So your problem is definitely due to your media server. Which media server are you using?

Pioneer VSX921 timeout issues

For all those having issues controling their Pioneer receiver (my model VSX921), like temouts etc.:

The Pioneer seems to hate high frequented polling of the state. As for the BubbleUPnP app, activating "Use eventing" under "Advanced Settings" helps a lot.

For the BubbleUPNPServer I'm still searching for a way to activate eventing as well - is there any way currently?

Also adding a feature to reduce the polling frequency might be helpful in both - if this will come - is there any timeline for this planned?

Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] lotan_rm:
I'm using coherence in conjunction with ampache.

But why does BubbleUPnP count the correct number of single songs?

Or maybe I should ask differently (without knowing too much about UPnP). Does BubbleUPnP ask for the right content? I'm sure it shows exactly what it receives from the media server.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The count you see is the one reported by the Media Server. Eventually it can be wrong. As winxi stated, BubbleUPNP will display the items the Media Server returns which means possibly wrong content or badly sorted content if the Media Server has a bug. If you try to browse that folder with another app it is very likely you see the same problem.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
In the next version of the app probably although I wouldn't expect miracle with this setting.

As for BubbleUPnP Server i'll try to add it in 0.6.2 due out soon.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can you give more details ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Android BubbleUPnP 1.5.2 is available on Google Play. It is mostly a bug fix release:

image viewer do not reload current image on orientation changes

BubbleUPnP Server image transcode settings now also apply to WiFi connections

fixed image viewer not showing next image when being externally controlled

fixed local renderer not playing some WAV files

fixed duplicate entries appearing in Library on some tablets with additional SD cards

fixed app exiting on inactivity timeout while streaming media to external renderers (notably JRMC) in some specific scenarios

fixed files from the Local Media Server Filesystem folders containing special characters not playing on some buggy renderers (Onkyo)

fixed mp3 files failing to download from BubbleUPnP Server managed Media Servers in some cases

fixed reconnecting to BubbleUPnP Server failing when switching to Wifi <-> mobile in some cases

fixed cropped item thumbnails in Library on the Google Nexus 7

various stability fixes
[Android Apps and Games] yatbond:
For some reason, after the latest updates for both bubbleupnp and also plex server, i can no longer see my plex server with bubble. Any help?
[Android Apps and Games] manonmoon:
I agree in regards to the polling but due to the fact that BubbleUpnp is by far the best solution in my opinion, i would be happy to have a 90% workaround. ;)

For BubbleUPnP server will you add eventing as well or is there already a way to activate this on the server currently?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No way to do it currently but I've added it (eventing toggle + polling interval) in the upcoming version. Since it is rather obscure options, you will have to edit the configuration file.

BubbleUPnP Server w/ Buffalo Linkstation LS-LV

Just to let everyone know that I DO have it "running" manually. I have installed Java 1.6.0_34 for Marvell(Kirkwood), and it runs fine. But I can't seem to get it to run on it's own.

The installation steps are for the Synology NAS. So it's a bit different. I tried putting the following:

#!/bin/sh
sh /usr/local/bubbleserver/bubble.sh

I have the above script in /etc/init.d/ call "launch" --- I also tried putting this same script in /etc/rc.d/rc2.d <<<--- Similar to what was suggested in the installation for Synology. However it doesn't start up for me on my Linkstation Pro LS-VL

I currently have bubbleupnp server in /usr/local/bubbleserver

if I manually run

java -jar BubbleUPnPServer.jar

or

./bubble.sh

They both runs perfectly fine. I can go to http://<IP ADDRESS>:58050 and access the WebUI. I can even use my SGS3 to access the server and stream. BUT, as soon as I terminate the terminal session it kills itself (for obvious reasons).

Someone can tell me what I am doing wrong that it won't start up during a reboot?

TIA
[Android Apps and Games] manonmoon:
Hi, I assume you are running into the same issue like I had when building a upstart job for BubbleUPnP. When launching it as service you simple are in the wrong directory so BubbleUPnP won't start.

Try modifying you launch.sh the following way:

HOMEDIR="$(dirname ${0})"
cd ${HOMEDIR}
java -Xss256k -Djava.awt.headless=true -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar ${HOMEDIR}/BubbleUPnPServer.jar $*

Hi, it should be noted that this will work only if youl call launch.sh using its full path.

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------

Hi, you need to start it in the background using the &-operator, e.g..:

java -jar BubbleUPnPServer.jar &
[Android Apps and Games] manonmoon:
Thanks for raising this - it would fail whan you use relative paths which you usally never do when running as a service. Nevertheless a small modification would do the trick:

DIRNAME="$(dirname ${0})"
HOMEDIR="$(cd ${DIRNAME} ; pwd)"
cd ${HOMEDIR}
java -Xss256k -Djava.awt.headless=true -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar ${HOMEDIR}/BubbleUPnPServer.jar $*

[Android Apps and Games] fabien_m2002:

i don't know if you are yet implemented this feature from Qobuz or maybe it's not possible?

if you are playing one track (current playlist contains only 1 track) then an algorithm keeps playing with similar music. (like Roon radio feature i guess). It's an option you can disable (auto playlist).

Hello,

loving your app just for being able to play TIDAL via my DLNA-Receiver I have a problem adding a SMB-Share from my local NAS:

Going to SMB Shares/ADD, providing the NAS-Hostname or selecting it from the list after having typed username and password I get the following error message

EOF while reading packet

when I try to open the "Share Name" list or providing my share names.

Having some experience with SMB-Shares the problem is either your app or a wrong syntax I'm using.

Thanks a lot for your help.

I'm using Bubble upnp on my Android 12 mobile to control my Lumin T2 player, which I've been doing for the last few years with no problems.

A problem occurred yesterday after trying the Android Stock Battery Optimization setting, by turning it off.

My library used to load automatically and now it doesn't, I now have to manually choose it each time I start Bubble upnp.

(Note to self: Don't mess about with settings if app is working correctly!!).

I turned Android Stock Battery Optimization back on and it's still the same.

Any idea how to get the library to load automatically again?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@KraftwerkElectro

This issue has nothing to do with turning system battery optimization off (or on).

Try rebooting your WiFi router and (if necessary) machine running your Library and Android device.

[Android Apps and Games] KraftwerkElectro:
This is weird.

I rebooted everything and cleared cache for Bubbleupnp (just in case) but it's still the same.

The Library still does not automatically load.

Trying the Android Stock Battery Optimization setting messed something up somewhere.

The only other solution I guess is to reinstall the app?

How do I go about saving my playlist and settings? I thought I had saved my playlist before but when I tried importing it, nothing had been saved.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can export/import settings/playlist/bookmarks in More > Gear icon > Export/Import data.

Did you try to reboot your Lumin, router and Android device ?

Maybe your Lumin go a firmware update recently ?
[Android Apps and Games] KraftwerkElectro:
Export/Import setting: To be clear, if I export settings/playlist/bookmarks and then import them when I reinstall the Bubbleupnp app, my playlist I currently have (of about 1900 songs) will appear in the order I have them now?

I'm sure I exported all these settings before but my playlist did not reappear.

I rebooted the Lumin, router and my Android mobile.

The Lumin T2 has not had an update for quite a few weeks.

The only change I have done was turning Android Stock Battery Optimization off, and then back on. Doing this has messed something up.

I've just come across an old post (#16,141) of mine where I asked this exact question about saving and restoring my playlist:

You said:

"The content of the Playlist tab is not exported to file (Export/Import > Export to file). Only 'Saved Playlists' (in Library > Saved Playlists) are exported. Maybe it should, will have to think about it.

if you wish to export the content of the Playlist tab (for later importing), you can save it as a Saved Playlist in Playlist tab > 3 dot menu > Add to Saved Playlist."

From what you said above, 'Export/Import data' does not save my Playlist and you did mention that you would think about adding that function, when exporting data, in the future.

Is it something that you think is worth having a look at?

Saved Playlist in Playlist tab > 3 dot menu > Add to Saved Playlist: I had a look at this. Do I have to highlight all tracks and then Add to Saved Playlist?

I will totally try this. Can't tell you how much of a lifesaver Bubble has been. Both in the car to access our SMB music shares and at home to get past Sonos' maximum library capacity and their lack of 24-bit support. Basically we have more audio files than what Sonos' app will permit you to sync. So we just use Bubble and send to the Sonos as a renderer and then there is no 24-bit or library size problem.

Do you have anything that is like this app for accessing documents? Would love to not have to rely on cloud storage like OneDrive for documents.

Maybe you can deliver it on f-droid.org with a donate Button?

Does anyone else think the Chromecast small pics attached to the renders look really old? I would like the for video to just be a tv icon and the one for audio to be a google home speaker?

Also, please add an option that when you clear the playlist, the current playing file stays? Right now, it clears and stops the current video. Annoying when I get to an end of a playlist and want to start building a new one, when the last video plays.

Cover image for my singles 'albums' still doesn't work correctly.

I compile singles tracks into an 'album' called Singles, each track has the cover embedded in the MP3 tag of the single it came from. When I play it on my Android phone using the latest BubbleUpnp, the now playing screen displays the cover of the first track and never changes it, whereas the correct cover is displayed in Playlist view and in the mini player in the pull down shade on Android.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@Mr. Odd

That's because albums are supposed to have constant album art (same cover for all tracks). There is no album you can buy with different cover per track. There's playlists for that.

Anyways, you can try enabling More > Gear icon > Now Playing > Force cover refresh.
