No subtitles appear in the subtitles dialog. As i also mentioned, sometimes it will extract them and they do come up in the dialog when extracted. And sometimes it will not extract them for the SAME episode.

There are no error messages displayed.

Is there any way to force extraction?

Problem with galaxy Tab S

Hello,

I'm using your great app for a long time on my HTC phone. I just bought a tablet galaxy Tab S and I've problems to connect to my NAS server (Synology DS210j ) It gives me a browse error as soon as i try to connect to it the cause is action failed. When i try to connect from my smartphone (same network, someserver) it works without any problems.

Do you have any idea where this problem is coming from?

Bonne soirée.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
When you browsed to that movie with external subs (srt), did BubbleUPnP listed it displaying "<codec name>, subtitles", for example: "MP4, subtitles" ? Or just listed the codec name ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
OK. So to summarize for the same episode scenario(correct me if I'm wrong):

1. you play a video for the first time, see a "subs are being extracted" toast message then can select a sub in the sub dialog

2. later you play the same video but no subs show up in the subtitles dialog (it is normal you do not see the "subs are being extracted" toast message", as it is done only on first play and extracted subs are remembered for subsequent plays and are supposed to show up in the sub dialog)

Can you send me a log file for this exact scenario where 2. happens (see first post of this topic for logging instructions).

You can force reextraction of subs by deleting all files in Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp/cache/ccsubs.

That will be useful for generating the log file above (to force reextraction) but is not a fix for this issue (that I cannot reproduce).

[Android Apps and Games] cenonmin:
Hi, yes this is what is happening. Sorry I forgot to mention that this problem is for Chromecast and I am using Universal Media Server (latest version)

I also cleared the subtitle for an existing anime I watched, restarted the app and watched the anime again and now it won't extract the subtitle and the subtitle dialog has nothing in it now.

Not sure about the logging, you mention it for the Android app but will there be logging when its for Chromecast?

Anyway attaching log...

Additionally: The BubbleUPNP service wont start automatically in Windows. I have to start it manually. There are no errors in the event log.
[Android Apps and Games] amarcionek:
That fixed it. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] cenonmin:
It appears the problem is Universal Media Server (UMS) I installed Plex and it works well with it. I just don't like Plex coz it does use up a lot of resources.

What other Media Servers are recommended with Bubble?

The documents also say all you need is the Bubble Up server but if I only have that running I cannot say any of my videos, am I missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The encoding of subtitles is automatically detected but it's up to you to use one of the font that have the required glyphs for that encoding (only Tiresias is latin1, all other fonts should contain the glyphs for all encodings).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It's weird there's a problem with UMS regarding subtitles but I will see if I can reproduce the problem with it.

The log shows that BubbleUPnP Server did not report to Android BubbleUPnP that the MKV you played contained any textual embedded subs (bitmap based subs are not supported), thus no extraction.

For videos, Serviio.

The doc says that BubbleUPnP Server works on top of an existing media server (here for Chromecast transcoding and embedded subtitles extaction). BubbleUPnP Server is not a media server and does not expose any media files by itself.
[Android Apps and Games] bocharick:
Sorry, but i mean about tag in mp3 track. For example, many audiobook (mp3) have not-unicode codepage.

Screenshot in attachment
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Looks good. Can you send me a log file playing that first video to your TV (see first post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That displayed metadata is extracted by the Android media scanner and BubbleUPnP just uses it.

The only way to fix it is to convert the metadata encoding with a specialized tool like mp3tag on Windows.

Winamp has its own metadata scanner which probably handle this correctly.

upnp server and network player discovery issues

Hi,

from some time I experience difficulties with the application bubbleUPnP discovering a upnp server in Foobar2000 (with foo_upnp) and a network player.

I even abandoned using it and changed to UPnPlay app in Google Playstore which discovers immediately both the server and the player in the same conditions.

I prefer bubbleUPnP when it works, is it possible to do something to improve this discovery (maybe look at how UPnPlay works and why it discovers better ).

I do not make any modification to the FWs (by default in windows and internet box) and have the latest versions of the applications.

Thank you.

Tidal?

Hi Bubbleguuum,

Tidal is rolling out in the US. It is a lossless streaming service. Is there a way to use BubbleUPnP to stream Tidal via wifi, not bluetooth? The service has both audio and video.

Hard to know how big or successful Tidal will be. It isn't cheap for subscription, but great for audio quality.

Thanks....
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Possible but please resend this email as I probably overlooked it.

EDIT: found it and replied.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There are chances it work with Audio Cast (requires Xposed). Someone tries it and let us now as I cannot test myself (Tidal dot available in my country).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
foo_upnp is discovered reliably on my setup. I have no idea why it isn't on yours.
[Android Apps and Games] na300zx:
Hey guys,

I just updated to the Verizon Note 4 from a rooted S4 with a custom rom with Bubble UPnP installed. I used the audio cast Xposed module to stream Spotify to my Denon receiver. I absolutely loved this app and audio cast! However, the Verizon Note 4 appears that it will be highly unlikely that root access is achieved, which stops me from using audio cast to cast Spotify. I do have a Chromecast, so I am wondering what alternatives there are for audio cast for users without root access? Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] zekeblue:
Ok thank you. I will give it a try and report back when I get my invite for an extended trial.

It may also be possible with a plug in for Synology NAS and, of course, if a player incorporates it in a firmware update.

audio from video

As I mentioned before I do not have knowledge about the technic you use and what the possibilities are.

My question is if it is possible that if I have a (music) video and I choose to play that on a device that can only play music (like a speaker SANS400) that, because of the mime-type, only the music is played, even that it is a video.

I hope I made my question clear.

Stop app to close automatically

Just started using this app, and it works really nice for me to stream from Android to Android. But one thing I have a little problem with is that my receiving device seem to exit the app automatically after some time when it's not been used. I have set "Kill on inactivity" to never on my receiving device (SE Xperia Arc running Android 4.0.4).

Any thought on this?
[Android Apps and Games] The1JoshuaB:
Android app streaming - transcoding done on app or on server?

Context for question:

I stream FLAC files from home PC to Android device.

PC runs Foobar2000 (UPnP/DLNA Renderer, Server, Control Point plugin) and BubbleUPnP Server.

Android phone runs BubbleUPnP app.

When on WiFi, I want no transcoding. When outside of WiFi, I want 256kbps MP3.

Question:

Which of the 3 pieces of aforementioned software (2 on PC, 1 on phone) should I set to do the transcoding? (I do not want the full bitrate FLAC file to stream to phone and when I'm outside of WiFi.)

Thank you!

Looking into it. Looks like something has changed and will require an app update.
[Android Apps and Games] cenonmin:
Serviio seems to be better than UMS for detecting subtitles. Thanks.

On another problem. The BubbleUP server service does not autostart everytime after a reboot and there are no error messages in the Windows event log or the BubbleUP service.log file.

Any reasons why autostart is not working?

FLAC rendering now bugged

Hello,

I'm very disapointed by the new versions : I use BubbleUPnp to stream from my Qnap NAS Windows Media Server) to my Denon AVR-A100 amplifier.

Everything was fine 3 weeks ago when I bought BubbleUPnp, but now FLAC cannot be played on the Denon anymore : I get "Invalid file format" from the Denon. Everything is fine with MP3, and with other UPnp Player I still can play FLAC on my Denon without issue. However I prefer BubbleUPnp, but...

Hint : When displaying Metadata of FLAC file, they are defined as WAV in BubbleUPnp...Well, they are NOT (even if FLAC is a compressed WAV)... If BubbleUPnp tells the Denon it send a WAV file, and send a FLAC file instead (or the other way round), it's normal the Denon reject it.

Maybe my Android hardware cannot play FLAC (Sony Xperia Z, I don't know and I don't care, playing FLAC on a smartphone speaker is nonsense), and BubbleUPnp kindly transcode to Wav or ask the NAS to transcode, but it should not interfere between the NAS and the Denon.

I have canceled all transcoding option, so it does not come from that.

Can I get version N-2 somewhere ? It was fine for me.
[Android Apps and Games] cenonmin:
I take it back... Subtitles still a problem even with Serviio, sometimes it will say extracting subtitles and then when extraction finished I wait before opening subtitle dialog and when I open the only option is "None".

So disappointed, for $5 it does not work as well as Plex. The only thing that is missing from Plex is the ability to toggle subtitles w/c this one has but sadly subtitle extraction is flaky.

I think tested ffmpeg on the the movies with subtitles and sometimes it will get errors so I think the dependency on ffmpeg is where the problem is.

Then there is the service autostart problem :(
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's been no recent change in that area. Android BubbleUPnP never transcodes audio to WAV or "ask" your NAS to transcode (which is impossible).

If BubbleUPnP sends your FLAC as WAV, it means your media server is transcoding and exposing a WAV stream to BubbleUPnP.

You can send me a log file playing such FLAC, as it is the only way to look at what happens (see first post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
maybe ffmpeg failed extracting subtitles. This can happen, because technology.

Please send me a log file doing this:

- on Android, clear all files in Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp./cache/ccsubs. This will force a reextraction of subtitles for movies on which it had been done

- play a movie for which an extraction is started but there's no subtitles

- send me (bubbleguuum@free.fr) the BubbleUPnP Server log file, located in the instalation directory (on Windows) and named BubbleUPnPServer.log.0.

A possible cause is if there is no Internet connectivity up to 30s after the server is auto-started.

Also, in the WIndows services list, check that service "BubbleUPnP Server" startup type is set to "Automatic (Delayed start)".

The "Delayed start" can help.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
For playing to what renderer ?

Audio rendering problem

Hi!

I've been using this awesome app (registered) to stream audio from a NAS to several different streamers for several months mostly without problems but have just hit an issue with gapless playback of flac files to a newly purchased Yamaha RX-A830 Amp/streamer.

My media server is a Synology NAS running DSM 5.0-4528, Media Server 1.2-2491 and Bubble UPnP Server 0.8.3. I have created an Open Home renderer for the RX-A830 and enabled gapless playback. My control point is BubbleUPnP 2.0.11 running on Android 4.2.2 All media is ripped to FLAC.

After a power up of the Yamaha Amp/streamer Gapless playback works fine - ie no gap between the first and second, second and third track etc. However, the "Now Playing" track display on my Android continues beyond the end of the first track for several minutes . By that I mean that now playing continues to show the first track for several minutes even though the second is now playing gapless. The negative "time remaining" number goes positive and then counts up! This continues, with gapless working fine until the playlist hits a much shorter track. The shorter track then loops several times before continuing. However after this continuation navigation (eg next/previous track) or playing a new track from the library results in the first few seconds of the new track being filled with digital noise. After a few seconds it plays fine but any more navigation or new track causes the same noise. I have to power off and power back up the Yamaha to get rid of the problem.

I also have a second issue, albeit much less of a problem. The same Yamaha amp can be "zoned" and I use this to feed speakers in two different rooms. The android/bubble volume control works fine on Zone 1 but not on Zone 2. In zone 2 the volume numbers change but not the volume output by the amp.

I appreciate that either/both of these may be a problem with the amp, but thought it worthwhile logging as it would be great to get either fixed. If you need any further info/diagnostics please ask.
[Android Apps and Games] bungadudu:
For chromecast.

Romanian special characters were not recognized.

Localcast set on central European/eastern European worked great.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can you send me the problematic subtitle file (bubbleguuum@free.fr) ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Reliable gapless control is difficult with some redenders. The first thing to check is that your Yamaha is updated to its latest firmware version.

Then, can you check if you can reproduce this issue controlling gaplessly the non-OpenHome renderer (make sure to disable the OpenHome renderer

in BubbleUPnP Server, so it doesn't interfere) as this will make things easier to troubleshoot, in which case send me a log file to the point gapless control goes kaboom (see first post of this topic for logging instructions)

BubbleUPnP has no concept of "Zones". It just instructs a renderer to set the volume to a value, then it's up to the renderer to apply it how it wants. So probable Yamaha bug when zoned.
[Android Apps and Games] ErMeglio:
Hi bubbleguuum, I have set up the Bubble server at home for accessing my library from outside. I have enabled caching in the app, hoping to have my favourite songs cached and available to any other app in Android. Unfortunately, just a very little portion of mp3s are cached, even if I have set more than 6GB of cache in the settings and enabled it for all the networks. It seems it completely fails to cache flac files (there aren't any in the bubbleupnp folder in the storage), maybe this locks any caching from then on.

Playing is ok btw.

Ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] Neil Palfreyman:
Thanks for the quick reply. I can reproduce using non-OpenHome but am having trouble getting a log file recorded. I get a warning saying that the log is active but cannot find it in the specified directory. I must be doing something stupid so will have another go!

However I did notice something else that is highly relevant. I had inadvertently connected to a Proxy BubbleUPnP server on my NAS. When I connect to the non-Proxy server it all works fine. I also noticed that connecting to the proxy results in two active streams one of which is flac the other being lpcm and it's lpcm that's presented to the Yamaha amp so there's some sort of transcoding happening when connecting the proxy.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is possible the log file does not appear on your PC due to MTP being wonky (but the file is there).

You can use the ES File Explorer app instead (or another file manager app) to navigate to the log file and email it from there (using Share).

Yes the proxy adds a LPCM stream if necessary to improve DLNA compatibilty (LPCM is a mandatory DLNA format that all DLNA renderers must support, other lossless formats like FLAC are not).

Try to reproduce this issue and generate a log file not using the proxy media server.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Caching is only effective if playing to the local renderer (which is always the case using a mobile data connection, but not necessarily on your home LAN), and the item played must be from a media server managed by BubbleUPnP Server (a server with [network name] appended to its title).

Lossless file are never cached, because they are deemed too big. Played mp3 files (either originals or transcodes) should always be cached as long as the stream has been read fully (which depending on the network connection can take up to nearly all the stream being played).

Assuming a file is cached, it is imported in the Android media library if Settings > Network and settings > Add to Android Libray, is enabled.

The purpose of caching is primarily to reduce bandwidth usage on mobile networks, for tracks that already have been played. It also makes these tracks available if no network connectivity at all or can be useful with an unreliable mobile connection.

Poweramp -> Audiocast -> Medion DLNA Renderer

In trying to Audiocast PowerAmp's output to my 08/15-Medion DLNA Renderer (a simple internet radio box with DLNA) it fails in 9 tries out of 10.

Attached is Audiocast.log. Log File (between 07:39 and 07:47) show playing was working. After 07:51 play was not possible anymore.

Are there any verbose-options for Audiocast-Logging so that there may be some more infos for finding the problem? Anyway thanks in advance!

Hi there,

I like the features of the app, so i decided to purchase the license the other day. Today i got my g-box mightnight upgraded and tried to install the app and the license to avoid seeing the ad. Somehow the google play wants to charge me for it again. Usually if I purchase an app on one device, i can also install it on the other device. So I am confused with the license structure.

BubbleUPNP is not detecting BubbleUPNP Server

I've installed BubbleUPNP Server on my Windows 8.1 machine and now I'm trying to get it running with the BubbleUPNP app in order to stream to my Chromecast. The app is supposed to automatically detect the BUPNP Server, but this is not the case. I've tried restarting my router, computer, and all my devices with the app installed and I've got nothing. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] hardtobehuman:
I've been running BubbleUPNP Server on Windows 7 for months with few problems, but suddenly, with no changes of any kind to my setup, I'm having the same issue: positively nothing I can do seems to help Chromecast see the BubbleUPNP server, and as a result, transcoding the audio isn't working. I'd had this happen once before but that time, reinstalling the server worked. In this case, that still doesn't help. I've also tried rebooting all of my various devices, etc.

What am I doing wrong? Given that this thread is 773 pages long, we're probably not the first people who've had this problem, but that's a ton of backlog to read and I'm still sifting.
