Hi,

I use the actual version of BubbleUPnP on my Motorola Defy (Android 2.2), and on a Debian 6.0 Linux server BubbleUPnPServer 0.1.1 and Twonky Media Server 6.0.37. The Smartphone and the server are in the same IP range.

The problem is that the Twonky media server is not visible in the tab "Media Servers" on the BubbleUPnP Server web interface.

I am able to access Twonky directly with BubbleUPnP on my phone and also by my Philipps NP2900. In the configuration of Twonky the option is set that all clients get access to Twonky.

Any idea how to fix this problem?

Thanks and best regards

Flo

Thanks for the hint. Now I've got Java 1.6 and the BubbleUPnP server set up and running on my DS210j. Just did a quick check with my mobile. Looks good so far. Will further evaluate soon. Thanks again.

Thanks for the update. Its good to see the WDTV Live track advance working more reliably. I'm still noticing long start up times but can live with this...

Here's an issue I've noticed. When I select the Track tap action to 'Enqueue tapped track', the outcome is the same as if I'd set 'Play tapped track'. The currently playing track is stopped and the tapped track starts. When I look at the playlist I notice the tapped track hasn't been added but has replaced the earlier playlist.

Another issue is the app doesn't restore earlier device preferences when the phone is rebooted (and sometimes when restarting the app) - I had thought the earlier version did this but may be mistaken. My previously selected server library is restored as the default library (MiniDLNA) however the previously used renderer (a WDTV Live) is not, instead the local renderer becomes the default. Perhaps the app could prompt for the preferred renderer when playing starts if the previous renderer status isn't saved.

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Looks like you will have to wait for a while because I have already looked at it in detail and cannot think of anything else to try.

No

Not excluded but very unlikely. Unlike mentionned apps, BubbleUPnP has another requirement with volume management: not blow up you ears by mistake due to potentially controlling hardware amps.
[Android Apps and Games] komarak:
Not sure how this affects the method that you use to control the volume. So you are saying that I could blow up my ears if Bubbleupnp was controlling hardware amp and I used the touch screen on my phone to change the volume versus pressing the volume up or volume down buttons ??? Couldn't I blow up my ears if I used the buttons too ???? I only asked out of convenience. When I am taking a run and I want to change the volume of my music - it is MUCH more difficult to do it with the button (big fingers, small buttons !) than to just slide my finger on the glass.

There's a option to Que files so this would allow more to play after each one has finished.

But that's exactly the point. Volume control has to be implemented in a way which prevents accidental use of it. This is the reason why you shouldn't make it *too* easy. It's one of my concerns that it might someday happen that I accidentally turn up the volume of my amps too high using BubbleUPnP. This would be very unconvenient, if not even harmful to ears and neighborship-relations! :) I can gladly say that in my many hours of use this never happened.
[Android Apps and Games] Lakorus:
Dear Bubbleguuum,

Thank you for this great tool. It works like a charm. A few issues are there nevertheless.

My setup: library on twonky server 6 on a Qnap NAS, renderer Sony BluRay player BDP-S490. Bubbleupnp is installed on Galaxy S2, S3 and Note 10.1

1.) using the Note 10.1 as a control point, sometimes the advancement of songs doesn't work. One song is finished and the next one won't start. It may also be that a song interrupts and playback stops or skips to the next song. It is not reproducible, but seems to occur more often with long songs (>10 min). I have attached a logfile with a skip to the next song. I haven't yet encountered this problem with my other devices.

2.) Grabbing streams from internet radios off xiia works very well for mpeg-streams, but both the Sony renderer as well as the local one won't play streams using the aac - format. Playing those streams in another app works. I attached a logfile, can you tell if this is a renderer's problem or a limitation of bubbleupnp? Please note that the url I used works in xiialive.

3.) last, not least, a suggestion: the display of lyrics via musicmatch works well, but it would be nice, if bubbleupnp could first (or alternatively) do a check, whether there are lyrics embedded in the mp3-file itself and display them. This would be faster, more complete and more versatile.

Thank you for your support!

Best regards Lakorus

No, it can't, but i thought it could transcode on fly like it media server on pc does. I was asking in other thread but no one answered me if there's any possibility to stream and transcode mkv file via android to ps3...

1. In the log you play "Driftin' Back" which is 27 mins long. The Blu ray player notify BubbleUPnP that playback is stopped about 15 mins after playback has started. So BubbleUPnP thinks it is end of track and start to play next track.

As possible hint of a problem with the Blu Ray player with this track is that it reports a bogus duration (BubbleUPnP doesn't make use of it):

[main ] INFO - 01:03:56.354 - b : Blu-ray Disc Player: CurrentTrackDuration: 00:42:41

In any case, once playback is initiated, BubbleUPnP rely on the renderer to notify correctly its playback state.

If a renderer notify end of playback early, it may have computed something wrong or encountered a networking problem while streaming from the Media Server.

If you play that specific track on the local renderer, does it play in full ?

As a side note, you may want to disable Settings > UPnP Tweaks > Enable gapless control and Settings > UPnP Tweaks > Use eventing, although that will probably not have an effect on this issue.

If it doesn't change anything you can reenable them.

2. I could play this stream without problem on my Nexus 4 running 4.2.2 (entering its URL in Playlist > Add Stream URL), although initial buffering seemed longer than usual (20s). The Android media framework is used for streaming here and there may be variations between Android versions and manufucturer (which may tweaks codec support)

3. Noted although no promise if/when it will be added as it is not trivial
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
A PS3 cannot play MKV.

The app cannot transcode MKV to a playable format. Even if it could, this is a super expensive CPU operation and there's probably no current Android device powerful enough to do it in realtime (maybe a Nexus10 can).

To play MKV on a PS3, the only solution is to install a transcoding media server running on a PC, like PS3 Media Server and Serviio, and access these servers from the PS3.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, exaclty. The app's volume control is designed so it is impossible to produce accidental volume changes. In particular, the option volume slider is protected against it (clicking on the slider upwards do nothing: the slider thumb must be continuously dragged to the new position).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If your renderer doesn't play in sync there is nothing the app can do as your renderer streams directly from your media server.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Playing videos listed in the Playlist tab sequentially is only supported for playback to external renderers. For local playback, you must play videos one by one.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Not planned as WOL is not that simple to get right due to the diversity of hardware and quirks.

Even if I implemented it, a dedicated app would probably always be better.

It is not excluded but really super low priority.

Ok, fair enough but i wouldn't be worry about Android cpu. If my laptop with 1.6 MHz dual core cpu can transcoding mkv files, so for note 2 with quad core 1.6 MHz should be a piece of a cake.

Hello Bubbleguuum,

Thank you for your quick reply! *

1.) I tested playing the whole album via the s3 and it worked without a problem (with and without the settings you mentioned). However, I noted the wrong durations as well (on the s3), but it didn't affect the playback; the next track was played correctly. The mp3-file has a dynamic bitrate, so maybe that's confusing android / bubbleupnp? The note 10.1's local renderer also plays it correctly. Is there anything else I can test?.

* 2.) Okay, then it's probably a problem in the android 4.1.2 -firmware (on both devices) I can live with that, hope they'll fix it in 4.2. Or is there anything I can do? *

3.) I'll wait and see then. *

Thank you for your support and keep up the good work! *

How to shuffle video playlist

Hello

This app is wonderfull and probably the best. Bbut I can't find the way to shuffle video tracks (music video from NAS) in a folder or in a playlist.

Any help or advice ?

Thanks a lot
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Mhz an cores on Intel architecture is not directly comparable with ARM. You laptop is vastly more powerful than your Note 2.

Your Note 2 would disagree with "piece of cake" =).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1) I'd say it is a quirck of this Blu Ray player. In any case, BubbleUPNP has no control over it since the player directly streams from your NAS.

Check that your Blu Ray player runs the latest firmware available for it. Wild speculation: maybe this player puts itself in standby mode after a while and stops streaming ?

2) Nothing that I can think of. Still weird that it doesn't play but again there tweaks and fixes to codec support in each Android version so who knows...
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Add your music videos to the Playlist tab, then either:

- in the Playlist tab, use Menu > Shuffle tracks

- in the Now playing tab, enable the Shuffle Playlist mode (one click on the shuffle symbol)

Note that continuous playback of videos in the Playlist tab will only work when playing to an external renderer, so ther is no way to play shuffled videos locally as they must be played one by one (you can still shuffle the Playlist tab though).

Pause/Play on AVRs w/ DLNA

Hi bubbleguuum,

Great app - love the Google Play integration and the Dropbox stuff has game-changing potential, once media tags are read and displayed (that's another thread, I guess ;).

Previously I had posted my experience using the pause button w/ a Denon DNP-720AE (a DLNA media renderer for music), which would return (I think) an error 401. I recall you telling that this probably meant pause/seek wasn't supported. I have experienced the same behavior with a Pioneer AVR (new model).

And, FWIW, I've experienced the same behavior with other control points (e.g. Kinsky on iOS won't even stop playback by holding down the pause button) and this problem seems to be limited to playback of FLAC; AAC and MP3 will pause, seek, et al. just fine.

Anyway, this weekend, I started playing around with JRiver Media Center on Windows 8 and tried using it as a DLNA control point - same media server (Twonky 7.0.9-Special on a NAS box) and same renderers. To my surprise, I was able to reliably pause/play without any errors using FLAC files.

At first I thought that maybe JRiver was transcoding, but the Pioneer AVR screen displays FLAC as the media type.

If you are interested in finding out what's going on here, I could run Wireshark on my local network and capture the traffic between my laptop and the Pioneer AVR, but I need some guidance on what you would like to see, as far as use cases, log messages and traffic captures. If you are not interested, that's fine too; I would just love full playback control and I am hopeful that there is a way around the limitations that all of the AVRs seems to have.

Regards, Ken
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The Seek command is emited as a SOAP request. With Wireshark, you can try to find what JRMC sends as command, searching for a HTTP body containing the string "u:Seek"

If you find it, paste the the full body containing this string as it will contain the exact seek arguments.

Note that there will probably be a "u:SeekResponse" but we're not interested in that (that's the SOAP response for the Seek command).

The weird thing is, that the Nexus is listed there. Also I can remote controle from my Nexus via the library desktop to the Galaxys renderer for example. I have of course allowed streaming under Windows to all my devices (Nexus and Galaxy).

Infinitec Pocket TV

Hi,

I'm trying to setup TV stick from the title to be used as UPnP renderer for varios media from my local network and on-line services,

I was wondering how can I select the default video player for remote control playing on Pocket TV stick which is capable of playing 1080p with DTS?

It doesn't show up in the list of players when I try to setup this option...

I bought a license for BubbleUPnP and all.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the detailed write up. I will have to look into it. Something is defintely spoony with WMP discovery.

In any case, each time you reinstall the app (or clear data), a new UDN (unique identifier, shown in the device properties dialog in Explorer) is generated for the local renderer and local media server, which in turn will make WMP consider them as new devices.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
SRT are supported but there are many prerequesites for them to work. One of them is a Media Server that recognize SRT and send them to the app as a http URL. That is not the case of XBMC.

You can read a detailed write up on subtitles and UPnP within the app in Settings > About/Help > Tips > Video and subtitles.

Combinations that are known to work are decribed there.

Can you tell me which ones ?

Hi. I have Bubbleupno on android tv and see it in samsung players as a nearby device but always with zero items. I can see the items in bubble client but I want to use smsung stock apps as they are great (dlna server + client with easiest switching, context windows etc.. no way I switch to other app). When I run Skifta on the same device samsung note 2 clients (images, music and video gallery) now see the items. When I run bubble client on the same mobile, I see the items. Any other combinations work too. So there must be incompability between bubble server and samsung client.

Bubble UPnP in server mode -- long load times, songs cut off mid-play

Hi there,

I bought BubbleUPnP for Android after learning that it was capable of serving media from my device to a UPnP renderer. There are a couple issues that I wonder if there's a fix for.

First off, I'm running a rooted Nexus 4, that is currently running the official google 4.2.2 image (I just wanted to have TWRP for nandroids.)

When I first connect to the BubbleUPnP server, it takes 30-45 seconds for my UPnP renderer to get a full media library list. Does BubbleUPnP cache the filesystem in some way so that this initial connection can happen quicker?

Then, when I'm playing media, if I select the media to play, it takes about 10 seconds before the UPnP renderer actually starts playing the media. This happens both on a Windows 8 computer and my Xbox, leading me to believe it is a server issue, not an oddity with a particular UPnP renderer.

Finally, when music is playing, after a while the audio will stop even though the timer and progress bar will continue to move. I'm not sure if that's just my android device going into deep sleep; I'm going to test that separately when I'm again near a UPnP renderer to test with.

Does anyone have any input or ideas about how I can improve the server experience?

Thanks,

Pete

The Nexus 4 has some horrible WiFi issues when the screen is off, especially it may stop responding to outside requests:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42272

With some routers, there's also:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40306

I have a Nexus 4 running 4.2.2 and the Media Server running on it does not respond when browsed from another device on the network and the screen is off. This is really a N4 specific WiFi bug as it works with other devices. A nexus 7 behaves just fine for example.

As a test, you can force the screen to stay on and see if you still have the issues you describe (my guess is that it will work fine).

Nexus 4 and WiFi in the same sentence = big bag of problems.

track stops 3 seconds earlier (again)

Hello Bubbleguum,

May Ia sk you again if you have any suggestion/solution for my problem:

I am using asset/bubblegum server and a Shanling m3.1 as an openhome renderer (with the bubblegum android app on a samsung device). Everything works fine, but each track still stops 3 seconds too early.

In the meantime I found out that with the Audionet mm android app, using the "gapless (via SetNextAvTransportURI)" in the settings the tracks are played until the end. But with this app the tracklist does not work (because the Shanling renderer, as a Stream700 device, seems to need the openhome renderer function).

I think the solution would be to add a "gapless (via SetNextAvTransportURI)" function to the bubblegum app (which is the nicer app anyway). Would that be possible?

Thanks, Chris
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Unfortunately the problem is not related to missing X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar: I have found a Media Server missing this service and that is still detected by WMP.

It is true current BubbleUPnP Server does not proxy the X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar service. I have fixed it but this doesn't change anything regarding WMP discovery.
