I cannot connect via https anymore, where it always worked. I havent used the app for some time, so it mostly changed, and I cant say anymore, if the new behavior is a bug or on my side, but I havent changed anything on my router or on my server. both ports are opened and forwarded 58050 and 58051, I can connect to both ports in the app, and the test button says working, 58051 is the https port and I use https://...:58051 in the link. However, when I am using the https connection, I cannot open any files, the server shows the content, but doesnt play/stream anything. Anyone have an idea what could causing this? http connection works fine btw.

just installed bupnp server and set it up with xbmc, works great :) im using it to play my music on work using my phone. i just have two questions/suggestions:

1) since i have some "artist/album mix" albums i needed to enable "force cover refresh". but, problem is that sometimes my album has good cover but songs inside don't have cover integrated into it. and now when i play those songs i don't have any cover shown in "now playing". it would be good if bupnp could use album cover if song cover is missing in this case.

2) any way to set bupnp as default music player? i mean, if you want to open mp3 from sdcard it at best plays last played track. also, on headphone plug it doesn't show as possible application.

3) any way to buy application in countries without play market buy option? using paypall for example?

great work btw!

p.s. also "enqueue all and play tapped item" and "play all items from tapped position" would be nice item tap action :)

There are any plans to support Amazon Fire TV in future?
[Android Apps and Games] ad2598:
Album artwork display pixelated

I suspected as much and had already raised a support call with Synology. They were not as helpful as they might have been so I investigated myself and found that two settings fixed the issue: firstly set Media Server to forward high quality images instead of thumbnails (this was already configured correctly on my NAS so was not the solution); and configure the device list so that the phone used 'Default Profile with original cover'.

Screenshots are attached in the hope that it might help others who experience the same issue.

Thanks anyway for your help.

Thank you for your attention. to specify the problem more precisely: this behaviour affects the servers as well as the renderers. their names show up immediately after the start of bubble upnp, but not their specific symbols (the "play symbol" shows up instead) and they show no content in the library tab. after about one minute everything is normal again (the correct symbols are shown and the library shows the content of the servers).

i also found that this behaviour disappears sometimes after some usage of the asus transformer tablet (closing bubble upnp and reopening it doesnt invoke this bad behaviour then). A system restart brings back the bad behaviour. But i'm sorry, i couldn't reproduce this last point yet.

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I've sent you a PM with a test APK that may fix the problem. Let me know either way.
[Android Apps and Games] winxi:
sorry, i saw the pm just after submitting the previous post. the version you sent solves the issue. thank you very much!

Great, thanks. Let me know if you find other oddities with this version.

just wanted to report an issue of bubbleupnp server with the new "create an openhome renderer" option. applying this to both my rendereres (sony bravia kdl-ex725 TV and sony bdv-e380 bluray system) pops up the error message: "Server Error: cannot not create OpenHome Renderer: Could not initialize implementation: java.lang.NullPointerException".

this seems to be a problem with the specific rendereres, as it otherwise works flawlessly with the renderer of bubbleupnp. i run bubbleupnp server at a synology ds211 nas with java 1.7.

This is not urgent, as i not even have a usage for an openhome renderer (as long as bubbleupnp isn't an openhome control point :) ), i just want to help you to improve your software.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for reporting. If you are running v0.5 of BubbleUPnP Server, it is a bug that has been fixed in 0.5.1.
[Android Apps and Games] winxi:
You are right, of course. i had still version 0.5, with 0.51 it works without any problems now :)

I start BubbleUPnP and add an audiobook from my Synology DLNA Server to the playlist. I activate the sleep option in Bubble and set it to 30 minutes and play until end of track. Kill on inactivity is set to 15 minutes. BubbleUPnP plays and then terminates as desired.

The next time I start Bubble the playlist only contains the first 16 tracks of the last played audiobook.

THX for the advice - it worked (my kinsky version was too old)
[Android Apps and Games] winxi:
I played around a little bit with the custom version and found that switching fastly between any two renderers (tapping back and forth with high frequency) causes bubbleupnp to break down. the app has to be killed afterwards.

Your test build solved the problem. Thanks for your quick response.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thank you for the description, I will try to reproduce it and eventually send you a test version if I find anything.

Can you tell me if after restarting with the playlist containing 16 tracks, if enqueuing new tracks in the playlist work or if you get a message about the playlist being limited to 16 tracks ?

Also I'd like to know what your phone model is.

Thanks for reporting. Do you get this error on start consistently ? In any case this error is not fatal for the server to work properly.
[Android Apps and Games] steel_3d:
Hey man, great app. Or almost great :) A few bugs are really bothering me:

1) Library search doesn't return songs that I KNOW are there and in some cases I see right in front of me before I initiate the search. I'm looking at Hotel California currently playing by the Eagles, I do a search for "hotel" or "california" - nothing; I search for eagles then it finds it. You need to make sure search finds absolutely everything - a substring of any existing id3 field or file name (possibly path).

2) "All tracks" in the library takes forever to populate the list. Once it's done, the scroll bar is really buggy, isn't proportional in the list to where it is vertically on screen. This wouldn't be as important if search worked.

3) Playlist sometimes gets stuck on the same song and doesn't advance to the next song.

4) The timeline bar absolutely doesn't work with the local renderer. Can't fast forward/rewind.

5) Sometimes I'll click on a song in the playlist and it'll either not play it, or start playing the last song from the beginning. Skip forward and back can be buggy like this, too.

6) Playback is NOWHERE NEAR gapless. There is a several second gap between songs and it's extremely distracting on albums that are mixed continuously. Is there any way to achieve close to gapless with DLNA?

7) Starting to play a song through DLNA does disconcerting things, like change the duration of the song a few times before it plays, IF it plays.

8) It would be nice to get a context menu option to show all file info, like winamp (id3, path, format, etc).

Out of all these, 1 and 6 are my highest priorities.

I'm using a Galaxy S froyo with local library and sony dlna renderer (but I would like to use the local renderer more if it worked well).

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the feeback.

1. This is a bug that I fixed: track titles where not searched

2. The scroll bar is proportional here (SGS + CM7). If you can record a screenshot (or take a photo) it would help.

How many tracks are there and how long does it take to load ?

3. Issue probably specific to your Sony renderer. Make sure it runs the latest firmware available for it and if you can reproduce the issue, please record and send me a log file as explained in the first post of this topic

4. That's totally unusual. The only case I can think of, is playing FLAC that do not have seekpoints, for which the seek bar is disabled. Which file types are you seeing this problem ?

5. On which renderer does that happen ?

6. No gapless with DLNA. This is a technical limitation. I may make gapless possible with any UPnP AV renderer through BubbleUPnP Server in the future.

7. change the duration where ? on which renderer ?

8. noted

The local renderer works very well for me (Galaxy S, CyanogenMod 7) and many other users. If you use it to play mp3 or aac I strongly suggest you upgrade to CyanogenMod 7 or another Gingerbread ROM, as the Android Media Player used to stream those files is rather buggy in Froyo and older and works much better since Gingerbread. Seeking not working maybe be due to this.
[Android Apps and Games] Parodontose:
Hi there. It is possible to add more tracks to the playlist. It only gets shotened but can be filled again.

That happens on my Samsung Galaxy S with CM7 and also with the KANG ICS Rom. The same on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with stock 3.2. Seems not to be related to the hardware or OS.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This will be fixed in the next update of the app.
[Android Apps and Games] ed.j:
bubbleguuum, thanks so much for this app! I use the pro version pretty much daily (on a galaxy nexus) and think it is brilliant, but i do have one rquestion - do you have any plans to develop either a homescreen widget or lockscreen player? I think this is the only current major downside to the app. Cheers, ed
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the feedback. A homescreen widget is in the todo list although on a Nexus and more generally ICS, you have miniplayer controls in the notification area.

No lockscreen widget planned.

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No such issue here. Please send me a log file attempting to play a problematic video (see first post of this topic for instructions).

A difference is that before plaback, the orientation is now extracted from the video metadata to check if it must be rotated.

But I cannot think how it could cause this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You're lucky brefore there's an option in foo_upnp just for that:

File > Preferences > Tools > UPnP > Server > Content > Swap "A" and "The" prefix in artist names

The logfile will not be written. tried it multiple times now.

i will try to get some information out of the logcat which may be helpful for you.

maybe in your playstore account in the ANR section u can find more information.

got an ASUS MeMO Pad.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The log file is written. It just might not be visible on a PC due to MTP being unreliable.

You can access it with a file manager app such as ES File Explorer and email it from there.
[Android Apps and Games] TheXooxy:
ah yeah, you got mail...

Scenario

I would like to show a scenario where I hope your app can be improved.

I have 2 devices:

1 TV

1 Stereo

I start a movie on the TV. While it is playing I want, for example, play music on my stereo.

If I tap in the top left corner and I select my stereo, the TV stops playing.

Can this be solved so that the TV keeps playing? I have no background how this technology works :(

And maybe I do something wrong in the app.

Thank you in advance!

Problems in landscape mode

Hi bubbleguuum,

Back on 25 August (post #7305) you noted a problem I raised about the volume control slider bar being obscured by the bottom tabs when the Now Playing screen was viewed in landscape mode (on a Samsung Galaxy Note 2). You fixed that in a later update but this fix has created a new problem. If the list of artists takes up more than one line (which is common for classical music) then the bottom row of metadata text is almost totally obscured by the player controls. Again, this is a problem that only appears in landscape mode. It might be OK on the larger screen of an Android tablet but I don't have one of those.

Restricting the Artists list to one line would be an acceptable fix (except for tablets).

Another issue is that tapping the cover art to view the metadata screen will only show the Close button at the bottom of the popup if you are in portrait mode.

Any chance of doing an official (paid) Chrome port?

I'd use ARChon, but I want the full features and I'm pretty sure the paid unlock app won't function properly.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Will be fixed shortly in the next update. In the meantime, it works if you share to semperVidLinks instead of BubbleUPnP (which just redirects the share to semperVidLinks).

Also, for the next update I've fixed sharing from Soundcloud not working (due to a change in the Soundcloud app).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No plan for now. I haven't tried it but I doubt BubbleUPnP works well or at all on ARChon.

If Google officially opens Android emulation on Chrome to more apps, I'll see what can be done but this will probably

require some changes and in-depth testing.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
OK. I'll limit the artist line to one line if the volume slider is present in phone landscape.

I don't understand this. Please reexplain.
[Android Apps and Games] haggis999:
If you tap on the cover art in the Now Playing screen then a popup window appears. This displays metadata, etc, for the current track and there is a Close button across the bottom of the popup. However, on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 the Close button is only visible if I invoke the popup in portrait mode.

If I trigger the metadata popup while in landscape mode, vertical scrolling within the popup window stops at the bottom of the Stream #1 display.

album cover grid

BubbleUpnp is a great app. Looks and useability are often forgotten and neglected by audio hardware companies. I use Bubble solely for audio. The app that comes with my Pioneer N-30 streamer is terrible. My Galaxy S3 and Bubble make a fine userinterface. I also like the grid view. However gridview displays less albums than the list view does. Therefore I keep using list view. Now I read a 3 column gridview is available for tablet owners. I would very much appriciate the 3 column gridview on my Galaxy phone. I used to have this in a former setup with Logitec Squeezebox and Orange Squeeze. Orange Squeeze is fast and flawless and the nicest app for Squeezebox I could find but only applicable for the Squeezebox. BubbleUpnp is better looking and more versatile but I would like to use the 3 column gridview on my phone again. :good:

Volume level not saved when leaving app

Hi,

First of all, you have developed the best UPNP app I've used.

I'm a very satisfied user for more than a year now.

I'm using your app for controlling a Denon rcd-n7 mini set and a Cambridge Stream Magic 6 connected to an Azur 851A receiver.

The volume control on the Denon works perfectly. I can adjust the volume of the miniset with the hardware buttons on my phone or tablet. When I press the volume up button, the volume just goes a little bit louter, the same for lowering the volume. exactly as you would expect.

With the Stream Magic I have the problem that the app or the stream magic device doesn't remember the volume level after switching apps or going into standby (Idle).

For example.

The volume range goes from 1 to 27.

When I start the BubbleUPNP app, the volume level starts at a specific level.

Let's say volume level 12.

When I press the volume up key, the volume goes to 13...14.......20. Exactly as you would expect. But, when the phone goes to sleep or when switching to another app and switching back to the Bubble app. The volume level is again back to 12.

Of course I can just press the up- button until the desired volume, but this is very annoying.

Do you have any idea what is causing this?

Just for you info. I'm using the Stream Magic 6 in DSP Pre-amp mode.

I think this is essential for the BubbleUPNP to take control over the volume.

The Stream Magic is also connected to the Azur 851A receiver over the control bus.

With the stream magic app I can adjust the volume of the Receiver from my Stream Magic. I don't know if it is even possible to integrate this kind of functionallity into your app, but that would be awesome!

Kind regards,

Juupen

On page 514 of this thread I found the problem that streaming spotify stops after a while with a java Exception. Maybe I got the same problem with deezer. Streaming deezer on a Galaxy S4 mini to my raspberry pi with gmrender-resurrect works for a little while. When I change tracks on deezer or sometimes regularly between two tracks output stops.

I found this in audiocast_log.txt

Decoder: IOException while decoding: java.io.InterruptedIOException: Waiting for available space in buffer interrupted.

When I turn off and on audiocast it works again. I have the impression that it works longer if I disable gapless play.

What can I try else? Is that problem on page 514 fixed? Didn't find any more information about it.

Do you need the complete logfile? And the bubbleupnp log, too?

Thanx in advance! I really love this software if it worked longer than some minutes.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The "Close" button is omitted on this dialog on phones in landscape to preserve limited vertical space. So this is expected.

3 colums is not very practical on phones in portrait as there is not enough room for displaying title and artist.

Only every second album art is displayed with Synology Media server

Thank you very much for your finding.

Where do you store the coverart images? As separate file or embedded within the audio files? What size does your covers have?

I have the same configuration as you, but I can see only every second coverart in the bubbleUPnP app when the Synology server is set to 'Default Profile with original cover' . When it is set to 'Default Profile', all coverart pictures are available but in low resolution. I only use embedded coverart with 640x640 pixel size

New alphabetic index for browsing composer list

Hi bubbleguuum,

Some time recently, a change was made to add an alphabetic index for browsing a library list of composers. In the past, the selection of Composer would present an alphabetic list of all composer names. Now I am asked to first make a selection of the initial letter, so I can only view all the As or all the Bs, etc, at one time.

I frequently use composer selection for classical music and my current classical collection includes 348 composers. The new composer selection process therefore makes it faster to find a specific name. However, it is not so good when you want to randomly browse your collection for a composer whose music you have not heard for a while.

I couldn't find a way to turn off the alphabetic index. Have I missed something or could this be added as a menu option? At present, the Library menu options only show Search and Reload, so there is plenty of room to add another. This is not an urgent request but it would be appreciated if you can make this change when time allows.

David
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's no alphabetic splitting of composers in BubbleUPnP. If you see such splitting, it comes from the media server.

If you are using MinimServer, it has a setting for that I think.
[Android Apps and Games] haggis999:
Put this down to an ageing brain. I should have remembered that the media server is responsible for most of the browsing experience. Thanks for the rapid clarification.

You are absolutely correct in your presumption. I had accidentally set the MinimServer Alphagroup setting to 'Composer' after recently losing all my configuration details during a MinimServer upgrade that went wrong.

David
[Android Apps and Games] jaaptina:
Orange Squeeze shows 3 columns works very well on an Galaxy S3. You don't need the title and artist. It's more like flipping trough LP's. You don't read text but select an album based on it's cover.

It's great for quickly scrolling trough your music when you don't know yet what you like to listen to.
