I was just thinking about a similar request... While seriously listening to music via BubbleUPnP control point, closing the app is an undesired situation. In my opinion, all tabs should mimic LIBRARY behavior. Suggestion: leave the EXIT option to the hidden menu, just like settings and other "not so frequent" options.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The back and menu button behave like in any other app (except in the Library tab where the back button is disabled on the root because it is also used to navigate back in folders). Neither the back and home buttons exit the app like Menu > Exit which totally exit/kill the app gracefully.

Both the back and home button put the app in the background, and the app will continue controlling whatever renderer in the background.

The difference is that the home button will always shows the app drawer and preserve where you are in the app if you launch it again, while the back button go back to whatever app started BubbleUPnP (could be youtube etc, or 99% of the time your app launcher thus go back to the home screen) and when you launch the app again (which is still running) it goes back to the Now Playing screen which is the default screen.

No plan to change that, this is standard Android behaviour.
[Android Apps and Games] Dreamweaver:
okay. The main "Problem" is that I have to browse all the way back to the last path in the libary when I put the app in Background because I accidentally hit the back button in the Playlist ;)

Edit: I became a beta-tester right now. ;)

Album/Track images

Just started using BubbleUnP.

Great. 99.99% happy :)

I have two small issues:

Sometimes the album artwork does not display in either the Library or on the Playing screen. On the Playing screen it can often do two or three tracks in an album fine and then suddenly stop showing the artwork even when set to ALWAYS update artwork on track change. I've checked that all of the tracks have artwork. I can switch albums and then switch back again and the artwork will suddenly appear. Ditto on the Library screen. I have about 800+ albums. The odd one does not show artwork but only sometimes. Tried flushing the thumbnails cache and that might well fix that particular album but then one or two of the other albums will start not showing artwork :( Is there a way of forcing the app the reload the artwork? Reload on settings doesn't seem to work to refresh the artwork.

Sometimes, on the Playing screen, the artwork image is slightly too large so it covers the track playing progress bar.

Any advise please?

I don't see BubbleUPnP as any other regular android app. For my use, BubbleUPnP is a very important part of a hi-end audio system playing high resolution FLAC files through a dedicated headless renderer. My android device is just a vehicle for BubbleUPnP. At this point, I am not talking about standard Android behavior, please consider this suggestion as a relevant user interaction enhancement. The level of musical involvement provided by this actual architecture is just amazing and should not be disrupted by such a small annoyance.

Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Bug In The Last 3 Updates!

Dear Developer of the Bubble UPnP.

Because i'm not very good in English, i gona very simple and short.

In my NAS, every cd album stored in his own folders.

The folder contains the music in "flac" format and 3 external cower art pictures named the folowing way; 1. "Folder name".jpg

2. Folder.jpg

3. AlbumArtSmall.jpg

I always use "FOLDER" browsing when choosing music.

When i open your program for music listening in Library wiev, i choose (music/folders/xxxxxxxxalbum)

So when i click music/folders i can see all my albums, by his cover art pictures.

The only problemes that you can't change the size of the cover art pictures!!! It always show you in small and Normal size.

When i choose Medium or Large size nothing happening!!!!

(THIS PROBLEMES EXISTE ONLY IN FOLDER BROWSING MODE FROM NAS!!!) (THE AUDIO TRACKS COVER ARTS SIZE IS OK, NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEME!!!)

(BROWSING BY ALBUM TYPE TOO DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEMES!!)

Before the last two (AND NOW THE LAST THREE) updates this was not a problemes.

I hope you can find the problemes "fast" because browsing in Library with small and Normal cover art icon/picture is

NOT posible in my 10" tablette. (My eyes is not that good now!)

Your program really a wonderfull player!!!! Thank You for the Amazing experience!!!

Please forgaveme for my bad English!! and a little frustration!

Thank You for listening! szkzs.

PLEASE IF YOU NEED MORE INFO, JUST ASK!!!

I faced similar initial issues with artwork display, but now everything is sorted out.

My findings are as follows:

- With embedded artwork on files, displays works with hiccups most of time, and also tends to slow things down. From now on, I always delete embedded artwork from files.

- Each music directory will hold a folder.jpg artwork file (1500 x 1500 pixels are just perfect for me).

- This is fine for my setup, as I use MinimServer for my music. Not so sure if these tips would be useful elsewhere...

Cheers and take care!

The progress bar should not be above the cover but it can be just below in some cases. If it is above the cover, please post a screenshot.

There is a problem with MPEG-TS containing subs transcoding. It is fixed with this BubbleUPnPServer.jar (replace existing file in install dir and restart the server).

How does the license work?

I've been using the free version of bubbleupnp for a while now and I really like it,

The feature i like most is being able to control the music on my nexus 7 with my phone.

Unfortunately this is only available for a half hour in the free version.

I decided to buy the license for this feature,

I installed the license on my phone and the free version on the Nexus but to my surprise it still says only able to play 30 min :(

I tried installing the license on both devices but that doesn't work neither.

What do i have to do to get this working?
[Android Apps and Games] puppinoo:
EDIT: Htop shows it's using about 15% from each of 4 cores so it's not that heavy as I thought before.

Thanks a lot.

It works great now.

Btw I noticed that on my I5 3570k with integrated HD4000 ffmpeg process during transcoding using default x264 profile takes about 30-40% of CPU. Is that normal? Could maybe save some cpu enabling VAAPI stuff (Probably its not useful for encoding but was just a guess).

Thanks again.

Android, indexing, Tracklistview, manipulating, progressbar

Hello Hello,

Im actually using Bubbleupnp on a nexus 7, handling a WD Mybook live duo NAS, running Twonkyserver 7 and i remote with Bubble a Cambridge Stream Magic 6. The Bubble is running very nicely, i dont have any issues, just some questions to the usage... I did not read through all sites and the search didn workout, so maybe you can help me out :)

1. Is there an option, that Bubble indexes the Files from My NAS Library locally in the Nexus? when i open the "All Files" view on Bubble, it takes a long time to open the list, sure, i have 300GB of Music files on the NAS this takes time.. Indexing the Library locally would be a big improvement in terms of Acessability. For sure it should come with a "Refresh" or "Rescan library" option to update changes immediately. (I love the "Reload function", which is implemented, i think no other software gives that..)

2. is there an Option to have the "Genre" Tag visible in the "Tracklist view".? once i opened the tracklist either by searching per Folder or whatever, i would love to see the "Genre" information next to the "Artist", "Track" and "Album" information. There is plenty space left, at least at the Tablet version.

3. Is there a option to manipulate FIles (Tags) right away out of the Bubbleupnp? means, when im lying in front of my speakers, i would love to have the possibility to change "Genre" or give a "Rating" for a track, or an album, directly in Bubble Upnp instead of getting up, go to the comupter and do it (most time i dont do it, cause im a lazy guy:)

4. is there an option to switch on the Progress bar in the minimized view on the left upper side of the Android (you know, that one you can switch down on the left upper side, normally hidden)? i dont have a progress bar there...

I love your software, and i would be very happy if this could be possible, maybe this has been answered already or is already in the pipeline for further version.

Keep on going, its a cool piece...

Thanks

Bubble not running continuous playback

Hi there

I am using the premium version of bubble and have a couple of issues. The main one is that I cannot get continuous play to work, most of the time. That is, when I select an album or a bunch or tracks, or a whole genre, or my entire music collection to play, often only the first track will play and I need to return to bubble to select the next track.

I am using bubble on my sansung galaxy s3, with a samsung f5500 smart tv. This problem occurs when I stream media from my phone, or from my computer (mac 10.8 using xbmc).

I'd really appreciate any help with this.

Also, is there a shuffle feature in bubble?

Finally can anyone point me to a guide re making/using playlists in bubble as I have not yet got my head around it.

Thanks kindly

BubbleUPnP OpenHome renderer not detected

First of all, great work on BubbleUPnP and on the server. I recently bought the full license.

I use a LG BP620 Blue-ray player as network renderer, a Synology NAS with BubbleUPnP Server, an Android with BubbleUPnP and a Windows Laptop with Kinsky (unfortunately there’s no bubbleware for Win, hehe – would be great, however).

I have a problem recognizing the OpenHome renderer with both, the Android and the Laptop. BubbleUPnP (Android) would only recognize the OpenHome renderer right after the Blue-ray player was switched on (and BubbleUPnP already started). If I first switch on the player and then open BubbleUPnP on my phone, it will only detect the player, but not its OpenHome counterpart. With Kinsky on my Laptop, it doesn’t find the OpenHome renderer at all.

It’s also strange that the naming of my blue-ray player seems to vary. I configured it to be called “Player”. When BubbleUPnP is on and I switch on the player, it will find “LG HTS” and a few seconds later “LG HTS (OpenHome)”. When I have the LG player already switched on and then open BubbleUPnP, it will only find “Player”, just as configured, but no OpenHome renderer.

Any idea what I could do?

FF/REW issue with FLAC audio files

My Audio System Setup: Twonky Media Server installed on NAS (DLink DNS-320) and Marantz NA7004 as Renderer!

I'm using BubbleUPNP on my smartphone to control this audio system and I'm faced to an error when I try to FF/REW a FLAC audio file by moving the progress bar.

BubbleUPNP displays the following error: "Action Failed (code 501)"

This is working fine on the local renderer (smartphone).

You are probably not referring to local Android playback as it is supported.

I'm currently trying to use BubbleUPnP with PS3 Media Server 1.50 (trying to get some streaming video going on). It seems as if PMS detects BubbleUPnP's connection as "Unknown renderer" and the same device (Galaxy Nexus) via Upnplay is detected as Android.

Is it possible to get PMS to detect Bubbleupnp+GN as Android as well? PMS has renderer specific conf files that you can change for more granular streaming config. Thanks.

Hi,

first of all i love your app, it works like a charm with playing music from my buffalo NAS with twonky Version 4.4.19_e2

But when i try downloading a song i get:

No file to download

.....cause is either

- sd card is not writeable

- the library only expose uncompressed files...

nothing of both is true....can someone help me please??

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

so i just tested it on my xoom tablet and there it works

Both devices are rooted

Does it have something to do with the mountpoint or smthing like that??
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This error happens if the system did not return the external directory which is usually the root of the SD Card, for example when the SD Card is not mounted (thus inaccessible).

Can you access your SD card with a file manager app ?

You can also check the status of the SD Card in Settings > Storage.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You probably need to launch the external app that handles the "my tab" server in the library section.

[Android Apps and Games] papars:
I've been using bubbleupnp in tandem with MX video player on my Asus TF101 to play files locally (on the TF101).

My media files are on a qnap NAS running twonky.

I'm happy with the arrangement except the fact that I can seem to make the device to play subtitles off the server.

From what I understand bubbleupnp has nothing to do with this, and the player should request the relevant file from the server. Correct?

But the player for some reason does not do that. Maybe this is because bubbleupnp passes a short filename to the player instead of the full filename?

For example instead of "this is a movie.avi" is something like "as32$dfsqwd.avi"

On the twonky configuration page there is option to change the type of media receiver connected to it. Reading some post few pages back somebody suggested to change this from "generic upnp" to "samsung tv" but that didn't help.

Any thoughts on this please?

Marantz mcr-603

Hi, and happy New Year to one and All.

I have Twonky 6.0.34 running on a D-link ShareCenter with a mix of mp3 and FLAC files, which my Marantz M-CR603 recognizes and plays from fine. But its not easy or pretty using the remote to navigate through the music.

I got a cheap tablet for christmas running Gingerbread, and I have installed Genesis 3.0 +updates on it.

I have tried a few of the UPnP players on the tablet, and on my HTC phone and they all have the same problem. None of the Apps will advance the playlist to the next song!!

Having read through the 43 pages (its been a slow Christmas) I have found nothing that solves my problem. All the folder art is displayed, the track progression slider works, even search works brilliantly. But BubbleUPnP (like the other) won'y advance to the next song.

Please help Bubbleguuum, this is best App I have came across for navigating through the music. I have attached the logfile, and if I can be of any further help, let me know. I'm sure I won't be the only one using a M-CR603 as a renderer. Yes it has Apple Airplay, but I dont want to go there.

playlist probs, skipping tracks, not playable tracks

bubbleupnp is great.

i would buy it. but:

- i put tracks from windows 7 medialib. to bubbleupnp playlist (tested playback with local renderer or windows media player as renderer)

*some tracks get marked as "playing" in playlist but bubbleupnp skips directly to next song. This is mostly every 2nd track but random tracks also happened​

*bubbleupnp runs through hole playlist till last song and ONLY can play last song. every track i wanna click in this playlist will skip and playlist goes through tracks to last song again.​

i like your app because its very good designed / structured / connective / fast.

but with this problem i cant use it and buy it.

thanks

Thanks for the feedback.

Can you record and send me a log file for each problem (see first post of this topic for instructions).

I think the Playlist skipping to the last track issue is a weird timing issue with WMP (I do not observe this on my setup). Does this issue also happens with the local renderer ? What is the audio format of the files you are playing ?

Hi Mr. bubbleguuum,

Could you please check why "Wild Media Server" is not visible in the BubbleUPNP Server Configuration Page?

I tried restarting the Bubble server, but still show nothing..i tried it also with "Tversity" and this does work, is there something different in the way "Wild Media Server" should be configured?!

Thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I installed the latest version of Wild Media Server and it was listed in BubbleUPnP Server...

Are you sure you started Wild Media Server (Start button in its top toolbar) ?
[Android Apps and Games] redman8x8:
Thank you for the feedback.

You encouraged me to investigate further and finally located the issue source.

It was the Wild Media Server Device Autorization Config that didn't work quite as expected, meaning that altough the settings were set to "Automatically add new devices to the Authorized list" somehow blocked the Bubble Server from finding it. In the same interface there was a mention for (empty-authorized all) so i deleted all devices from that list, restarted both servers and Bingo..it showed up.

Now the only question is when will the final version of the Bubble Server will be available for purchase?

Thank's
[Android Apps and Games] MikeyAThomas:
Hi bubbleguuum, thanks for the software, it's one of the few UPnP control points on the android platform which allow you to create playlists - a big plus for me.

A couple of minor points you might be interested in:

There doesn't appear to way to modify the contents of a playlist. That is, if I load a playlist, decide to add or remove some tracks from the playlist, there doesn't appear to be a way to save the changed list. Choosing the same name when saving the list just creates another playlist with the same name, which isn't much use.

I managed to get the same track okayed on both the local renderer and my music renderer. Started playing a track which then started to play on the local renderer. I didn't stop the track, but just changed the renderer. I would have thought that this would stop the track on the local renderer and start it again on the new renderer. But, it carried on playing locally. Not a big deal, I just need to remember to stop the track before changing renderers.

Like other's on this forum, I've experienced issues where the next track is not automatically played. Its random and infrequent. Simply exiting BubbleUPnP and re-starting the software seems to sort the problem, which maybe suggests it's not a server/renderer issue in this case. If it happens again I'll send a log file.

Aside from that software is a god send. Purchased a license already. Thanks! :)

Cheers

Can't seem to get my router properly configured for server

Hi,

I love the BubbleUPnP Android app. Been using it on my LAN but I can't seem to get the BubbleUPnP Server to work so that I can get to the media when not connected directly to my LAN. I have BubbleUPnP Server running on the laptop (where the media resides) set up on a static IP (192.168.1.50) and have the router (netgear WPN824v3) port forwarded on that IP address with start port and end port both set to port 58050. The media server (Mezzmo) does not show up in the list unless I first run Skifta (which I'm trying to migrate away fom in favor of a BubbleUPnP setup). I have set the login/pw in the Android BubbleUPnP app to match the BubbleUPnP Server Login/pw but it cannot link together. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Hi mike,

Thanks for your feedback

1. You are right, this must be fixed so you can save back the original playlist after modification

2. I've fixed it so switching from the local renderer to another renderer stops playback on the local renderer. I'm not generalizing this to switching from any renderer to any other renderer as I can see a few cases where this wouldn't be expected.

3. Next version implements a polling mode to get the renderer's state which should be more reliable and solve this issue.
