Subtitles overlap when displayed on Chromecast

Hey. I'm a longtime user of BUPnP. I've recently started watching a anime series that has subtitles in the 'ass' format. (www . matroska . org / technical / specs / subtitles / ssa.html). Forgive the munged URL, but it won't let me post a proper link. The subtitle format allows positioning and colours of the text, and in most video players (VNC, MX Player) are able to render them properly, however when displayed on my Chromecast via BubbleUPnP, the control strings that indicate colour and position are displayed as part of the subtitle text and they overlap with subtitles displayed in the default position.

Here's what it looks like:

[IMG="Overlapping subtitles with control code"]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/OC-y_fJCB2OdwJJ5tM-7PnLpA2_XlcZmb8GWKlHZyYnoxYBMBary3ikkwogzHNcp7e-UQH5wvq0UE23qPgTi4ZHOglA_wF_MYlVn1ygyUvy5xBaW9-qyedF09MVdF68BM68k8AGJlGMfI7lPoGC_7txEhp00kJpuj5ZYaucId7orV2W47JGLiM_1hXO8eugRRQqxZqCA6OBQh1lYSq_nP0aI8rRUEXyIsS_pGOcuB4yUVtAjIar4zCu2rL71_3NXHkvLVHM2ApGrAI84ytMfDH2_ZkNJtDP2UCbE1h4_4Fz4_IDrlBkoHtueeKbmIIgC6Zc82ZsMeJk9dwsfiXDK5mbbT4yKN1lbCddQmv7ZSLpWzeA0iku9Y2Wa63PMMtg9wHMKgxs70rm80-3X1ATkkgfNShkYQaya9YPbh4doOYaj_jLkGV7Rj4NILG99_cbRJiKTXBpW3kM1-L31ePLNp1_QfRaKTUk_L1AUpMaEH7_-xSjx6HxdIalNfNpVhHfHodLplkRGZlZeThbvARyJ0wsINzLU2fPqx1Zm-HU5kz8vMZI2aGE6NtKBRZtLimcqHQh_EpuYqr4TKmt4fRyPUBoIYwSwCJXuN8Ye_frp=w1129-h847-no[/IMG]

Playing all videos in a playlist (DLNA and Chromecast) Solution and Request

Hi bubbleguuum,

I have been unable to play all videos in a playlist until yesterday. The playing video would finish, I would have to reset the destination (Chromecast or DLNA TV) and manually start the next video. I suspected that it had something to do with the screen blanking even through I expressly allowed BubbleUPnP to use data even after screen blanking and disabled any power saving settings related to BubbleUPnP. I could not find ANY setting that allowed me to turn off screen blanking (sleeping) even though I have all power saving settings turned off.

On to the solution, I tapped build number in Settings to turn on the Developer menu entry in Settings. In this menu entry is the "Stay awake" (while charging) setting which I turned on. I plugged in the Tablet to charge, otherwise the "Stay awake" setting does nothing. I launched BubbleUPnP and played a playlist of 10 videos ( first to Chromecast and then to Samsung TV DLNA) without failing to play next.

On to the request, I see that there is a permission called "prevent tablet from sleeping". I believe this would do what I did manually above to achieve the solution, but hopefully without the need to plug in the tablet for charging.

Could you include this permission in BubbleUPnP? Or perhaps something that could be turned on in the BubbleUPnP settings to prevent sleeping if it is required, to give people a choice?

Thank you for your kind consideration in this matter,

Rob McVittie

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=9048933]SteveDinn[/MENTION]

I don't think i can make an easy fix for this corner case.

If possible, I suggest to use an opensubtitle.org subtitle instead.

You can try to load one in the Now Playing screen, using the subtitle icon.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=8901912]Rob McVittie[/MENTION]

BubbleUPnP already tells the system to stay awake. But some ROMs (including from manufacturers, notably Huawei) try super hard to save battery when screen off, doing some unusual and app breaking stuff.

In the Android settings, triple check that there are no special power saving settings enabled.

Other than that, you can if you wish send me a log file, playing a video until next one does not play (use seek in the video to make the transition faster). See first post of this topic for logging instructions.

Thanks for answer.

Currently, I can't play at all this stream (and it used to work with previous versions) https://audio.rferl.org/MD/2018/03/31/20180331-150000-MD080-program_hq.mp3?download=1

So, I did the following troubleshooting steps:

1) I rebooted all 4 Chromecasts Audio devices;

2) I uninstalled BubbleUPnP server from the computer. I downloaded it again from https://bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver/#windows_install and installed, then started it as a service.

3) I shared the link https://audio.rferl.org/MD/2018/03/31/20180331-150000-MD080-program_hq.mp3?download=1 to BubbleUPnP app on my phone.

4) I get the error in the app (please see attachment)

5) I have the following errors in server log.

Could you please advise,

Regards,

Andrei

Been using this a while, works great, gonna 5 star it.

I used to use allcast, but anytime it would stop playback, I wasnt able to scan back to where the movie cut out.

Is there some way of playing the audio through the phone when streaming?

Id like to be able to plug in my phone's audio jack into the stereo receiver while streaming.

Also I think it would great to be able to plug in headphones to listen to the audio while streaming. Great for people that have roommates and such.

Almost forgot, one time I accidentally changed the local renderer to the app itself. I was quite confused why it was playing on phone and not to the TV. Not sure what the fix to avoid that from happening.

Thanks again

Hi, why cant the paid content be unlocked by purchasing a license from within the app itself? It is an inconvenience to install another apk just as a license, regardless of it is possible to hide the icon in the app drawer or not.

Doesn't Google Play provide such integrated paid content unlock functionality?

Why is gapless option greyed out for Oppo BDP 105EU player?

I have not used BubbleUPnP for a while, after getting a Naim network player (I now normally use the Naim control point app). However, I now have a need to use BubbleUPnP again for situations where the Naim player is not available and was surprised to find that it no longer appears to let me set the gapless option for my Oppo BDP 105EU player. This Oppo has always supported gapless playback, so why has BubbleUPnP greyed out that option in settings? This used to work without any problems (before BubbleUPnP's gapless setting was made specific to each renderer).

In case it is relevant, I used to run BubbleUPnP on a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, but this phone has since died and I am now running v2.9.2 on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S tablet.

So, back again: playlist stops after one track (i told you a few weeks ago) on my android 7.1 / honor phone. After some soft- and hardresets, another phone and router i send the phone to the manufacture. Now i got the smartphone back and its allways the same. If the smartphone is plugged in, the playlist works well. Doze and other features are on allow, also network permissions. The renderer is a Pioneer VSX 921. Hope you can help me...
[Android Apps and Games] gwapenut:
Am I right in thinking that gapless playback is not supported at all for Chromecast audio? I see Sonos renderers etc can be configured individually, with a gapless tickbox, but no such option for CCAs?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=4737582]gwapenut[/MENTION]

You are right and it is not supported at all for technical reasons (the CCA cannot handle gapless decoding on-device). I may work on a solution that involves feeding it a single gapless stream but it will be a non trivial undertaking.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=8098443]mymu[/MENTION]

I think Honor do some app breaking things to save battery when the screen is off. Maybe look into the Android settings looking for some eventual Honor specific settings regarding aggressively saving the battery.

Also looking on the XDA forum for your phone model about app problems when the screen is off might give a hint for an explanation and possible solution.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=5458727]haggis999[/MENTION]

When the 'gapless control' setting was global, it could always be enabled and gapless control was ultimately enabled or not depending on renderer supporting it.

Now, if a renderer does not support the specific UPnP command for gapless, this setting is disabled in the renderer specific settings. Some specific renderers having this command but known to not work are also blacklisted for gapless control, but not Oppo.

You can check if your renderer support this command in the 'top side menu > 3 dot menu on renderer > Info' dialog. If it does, there will be a line 'Gapless playback: potentially supported'.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=4875255]gandhi2[/MENTION]

It does (with in-app purchases) but the current system (separate app) predates in-app purchase and having both systems is not practical. Also, the separate app license supports family sharing while IAP do not.

The 3-dot info menu fails to list the gapless playback capability of my Oppo.

This is an error

. The Oppo has supported gapless (with BubbleUPnP) for many years without any problems. This is not just an unofficial capability. For example, Oppo's description of a firmware update in 2014 included "Improved Gapless Playback performance and added Gapless Playback support for FLAC files".

I'm guessing that there is some quirk in Oppo's method of advertising its gapless capability to your software or perhaps you are depending on a UPnP feature that is not universally adopted by the makers of rendering hardware. Whatever the reason, BubbleUPnP (my favourite non-manufacturer-specific control point) is currently broken as far as I am concerned :(

Plenty of classical music is based on variations on a theme and track markers are normal for each variation, even when the music is continuous. Introducing artificial breaks, sometimes every 50 seconds or so, can utterly destroy such a piece!

How about adding a 'use at your own risk' switch for activating gapless playback for renderers that fail your initial check?

EDIT: Please ignore this post! My memory of how I achieved gapless playback with the Oppo was flawed (ref apology on next page of this forum).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=5458727]haggis999[/MENTION]

Manufacturers often claim gapless support, but it does not work with UPnP and only works with local media managed by the hardware (hdd, usb, network shares, ...)

UPnP gapless support is determined by the presence of UPnP action SetNextAVTransportURI for the renderer. If it is not present, there is absolutely no way gapless can work. And if it is present, gapless may work but it is not guaranteed. If you wish, you can test the support for this command with this tool.

You can also send me a log file, logging for about 30s after app startup. See first post of this topic for logging instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=8098443]mymu[/MENTION]

You attached the license log instead of the main app log. You can send me the correct log if you wish, playing tracks until next track does not play. See first post for logging instructions and email me the log instead.
[Android Apps and Games] mymu:
Here's the correct log
[Android Apps and Games] haggis999:
The Whitebear app claims that SetNextAVTransportURI is not supported on my Oppo, but this must mean that the Oppo is failing to report the correct status, as

there is not the slightest doubt that my Oppo provides gapless support via UPnP

(e.g. via MinimServer running on my Synology NAS). I hardly ever play music via locally-attached storage devices.

Please let me know if you still need a log file. At present, I am assuming it will simply confirm that BubbleUPnP is reacting as designed to what it thinks is a lack of gapless support on the Oppo.

EDIT: Please ignore this post! My memory of how I achieved gapless playback with the Oppo was flawed (ref apology on next page of this forum).

[Android Apps and Games] gandhi2:
Thanks for the reply! I still wonder though if making a paid version / (replacing the license apk if there is a way to transfer licenses over to the new paid app) is a better long term solution:

Only one app needed to be installed, and the paid app easily supports family sharing.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The problem is if there are both IAP and separate license app, some users will want to switch from the latter to the former and it is not easily possible. Also more choice is more confusing as it requires more explanations (such as the family sharing thing).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Gapless playback does not depend on the media server at all, only the renderer and the control point are involved. The renderer by providing a working SetNextAVTransportURI and the control point by making use of it. No SetNextAVTransportURI supported by the renderer => no gapless.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=2101224]el_smurfo[/MENTION]

Is that a notification or something else ? Must be coming from Android, probably unrelated to BubbleUPnP or a least not directly. Can you take a screenshot of it ?
[Android Apps and Games] haggis999:
I'm well aware that the media server does not facilitate gapless playback. I was only making the point that I listen to my music via a UPnP server, not local storage.

You seem determined to tell me that I can't get gapless playback from my Oppo. This is not a matter for debate. I know the difference between gapless and non-gapless. I also know for a fact that BubbleUPnP used to give me gapless playback on my Oppo from UPnP sources. When Oppo say they support gapless and I say I have proved this claim to be correct, why are you implying that I must be deluded?

Given that the Oppo clearly supports gapless via UPnP, the Oppo must therefore support SetNextAVTransportURI. Your test for such support must therefore be unreliable (possibly due to some quirk in the Oppo's firmware, or vagueness in the UPnP specifications).

EDIT: Please ignore this post. Bubbleguuum was right and I was wrong (see apology below)!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Cebollazo:
You must be mistaken. No OPPO device has ever supported gapless playback when used as UPnP renderers and that includes the current UDP-20x series. My understanding is that even when you set the (all inclusive) gapless option with those older versions of the BubbleUPnP app, the gapless function would only have been used if the UPnP renderer had reported that it supported it. You were probably just fortunate that the gaps on the OPPO were too short for you to notice.

No. That OPPO BDP-10x firmware update in 2014 (BDP10X-70-0218) that added gapless for FLAC files was still considered 'experimental' as it could only be used on files from USB storage:

Gapless Playback status on BDP-103/105 (last modified on 7 July 2015)

No - in fact there is complete doubt that your OPPO BDP-105EU player does provide gapless support under UPnP. OPPO's own Knowledgebase article for enabling gapless on the 10x players only mentions support via USB storage and via SMB, not via UPnP

Enabling gapless playback on your 10x Player

Also, there's no mention of gapless support added via UPnP in any of the BDP-103/BDP-105 firmware update release notes to date:

OPPO BDP-103/BDP-105 Blu-ray Disc Player Firmware Version History (to August 12, 2016)

Latest Official Firmware for OPPO BDP-103EU, BDP-103D, BDP-105EU, BDP-105D (30th January 2017)

There are also many posts on several AV forums confirming the lack of gapless playback support of the OPPO BDP-10x via UPnP. Please do your resarch the OPPO's lack of gapless support via UPnP and how standard UPnP implements gapless support, especially with regard to the SetNextAVTransportURI UPnP AVTransport action, mentioned by [MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION].

An apology

Hi Cebollazo,

Your post prompted me to fire up my backup software and restore an earlier version of a Word document I created to list all my media playback options. This document was updated after I bought the Naim player.

I am highly embarrassed to remind myself that I did not achieve gapless playback from my UPnP media server via a direct connection to the Oppo. I actually used JRiver Media Center on my PC as my renderer and then fed the gapless output to the asynchronous USB input of the Oppo. This key fact had been utterly wiped from my aging brain. Put it down to a senior moment.

I offer my sincere and humble apologies to Bubbleguuum for wasting his time with a misconceived complaint about his excellent software. I will now crawl back into my cave and beat myself with birch twigs for the next two weeks :o
[Android Apps and Games] Cebollazo:

[Android Apps and Games] haggis999:
Yes indeed, that was me! It was well over a year ago when I got my Naim and unplugged the connection between my PC and the Oppo. I can't quite believe how rapidly I then forgot about the limitations of the Oppo. All I had remembered was that I had been getting gapless playback via the network for several years using the Oppo and BubbleUPnP. The vital contribution by JRiver Media Center had been totally forgotten.

My advice is to try and avoid getting old. It can play havoc with your brain ....
[Android Apps and Games] Cebollazo:
Tell me about it!

BTW, if you use foobar2000 instead of JRiver (assuming a Windows machine), you should be able to stream the audio out to the OPPO as a WAV file, so no need to tether it to the computer. Also requires the foo_upnp plugin (for the local UPnP renderer) and the foo_out_upnp plugin (to provide the PCM network stream output to the remote UPnP renderer).
[Android Apps and Games] haggis999:
That's very interesting. I 'm not that familiar with Foobar2000, though it is installed on my Windows 10 PC (including the foo-upnp plugin). I've just added foo_out_upnp, and after a bit of head scratching, I've managed to play Foobar's playback stream on the Oppo - in gapless mode. Many thanks for bringing this option to my attention.
