UPnp AV does not make this possible as the server just expose 1 cover / album.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Not possible, but as an alternative you can enable Shuffle Library mode (on the Now Playing screen, hit the shuffle buttons 2 times) that will play random tracks in your Library (provided your Media Server supports a certain feature for this to work).

Hi,

Iam using bubble to stream with my nexus 5 googleplaymusic music to my TV.

I found a bug. If i create a playlist , the app can only play one track. I have to go to the playlist an tap on the next track.

Whats wrong?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The info passed to last.fm is the track title, album, artist and track duration displayed on the Now Playing screen. Tap the cover to show them all.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What is your Android device and it screen size in pixels ?

Thanks, OpenHome is _the_ wanted addon for my home's multimedia equipment.

BubbleServer did it's job well at the beginning (two, three days). But then the control points got errors more and more often (SEEK INDEX ERROR: not enough IN args... or not allowed to [something]). I moved BubbleServer now for the fourth time to another PC (some virtual, some physical) with a fresh installation (and of course deinstallation of the previous location) but the problems now are out of the box: nothing works anymore. Ran always on windows machines (Win7 / Win2008 Server).

Clients: foobar1.30 with newest UPnP-plugin and BubbleUPnP on Android

Renderers: foobar 1.30 with newest UPnP-plugin and one Raspi with gmrenderer

Putting playlists into the OpenHome devices is very slow. If this succeeds (contol point responsive again) the list is full of "unknown title / unknown artists" and nothing runs.

Accessing the renderers directly works without problems.

Don't know what has gone so worse, maybe there's help outside.

Thanks!

Ticked "Show Composer..." for Now Playing... It shows Artist! Not what I want

I ticked the box for Show composer, "If known, show composer below the track title".

It doesn't, it shows Artist, which is useless.

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

I have several images embedded in the metadata for several of my music files, i e several images per file. They're marked as Cover (front) or Cover (back) or Leaflet page and such.

It would be nice to be able to flip thru all the images in a single music file. At least on the Now Playing screen.

Would be like fondling the CD box..

Do I need a static ip for bubble server?

I finally got round to setting up bubble server on my win7 64bit desktop yesterday and all was working well, until today that is.

First time I try to use it from outside my home network no joy, I can't connect to the server.

When I got home I checked and found my router (bt homehub4) has assigned me a new ip address so I have had to alter my settings and am now working again.

Do I need to buy a static ip or is there a work around? Didn't see anything in the documentation.

Thanks all.

OK when I click on the cover I am seeing the filename of the track instead of the title i.e "02 Since You've Been Gone.mp3" instead of "Since You've Been Gone"

Would this be enough to stop Last FM from accepting the scrobble ? And is this something I need to sort out in Mediatomb ? or elsewhere

Apologies if this is unrelated to your app, and my problem is elsewhere.

QPKG for QNAP NAS with a Marvell 6281 1.2GHz CPU

I see CPU specific packages for ARM and Intel CPUs but I have a QNAP NAS with a Marvell 6281 1.2GHz CPU. Is there anyway that I can still use BubbleUPnP?

If BubbleUPnP doesn't work for my NAS, is there an alternative to be recommended?

Quarantain_
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP Server is not required to run Android BubbleUPnP. It just adds optional functionality.

Marvell = ARM CPU. So the x09 package should work.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Blame your media server returning Composer = Artist.

There's only a single cover with UPnP, and it is exposed by the media server. BubbleUPnP simply display it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can use a free dynamic DNS service like no-ip.org to obtain a stable public hostname that you can enter in BubbleUPnP Server's Network and Security tab. Then always use that hostname to connect.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is probable that last.fm detects that the title looks like a filename and refuse to scrobble it.

Proper metadata is the responsability of the media server, so it is a mediatomb problem (assuming your files are tagged).

Newbie needs user manual/instructions for BubbleUPnP app

Thanks for the speedy response. I was not looking for additional functionality but thought that installing the server would resolve my problem.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (N-8010) and a QNAP NAS TS-412 as well as a Popcorn C-200. I have movies on the NAS and the Popcorn which I want to view on the Android over WiFi. What does not work is using the QNAP app, QMobile; it's horrible.

I have installed the BubbleUPnP app and I can see under Devices the QNAP NAS and the Popcorn C-200. When I try to browse movies via Library:

1) in case of the Popcorn C-200, I can navigate to the relevant directories and browse and play the movies I want.

2) in case of the NAS, I get a list of folders (Music, Video, Photo with Bookmark folders Albums and Folders and Virtual folders Saved playlists, Recently Played and Random Tracks. However, I can not see anything on the NAS itself; i.e. if I open the Video folder and drill to "By Folder" or "All Video" I only see a blank screen.

What I am doing wrong? :confused:

Setup for mobile access

BubblePPnP works well on my Nexus 5 phone when I am within range of my home wifi. Now I am trying to get it to work everywhere else.

Here is my setup. I have an ASUS RT-AC68R router. I have attached a hard drive to the USB port of the router. The hard drive has a folder with music files.

I know the music on the hard drive is accessible. ASUS offers an app called AiCloud and I can use this app to play the music files anywhere. I am trying to do the same with BubblePPnP. I think I am close on a couple of fronts, but can’t quite close the deal.

The router offers several tools including DDNS, VPN and probably others. I am not technical so this is where I need help. Here is what I have tried so far:

In the router software I created a DDNS client.

On my phone I opened BubblePPnP Settings,

went to “Networks and settings”,

opened one of the Remote UPNP Networks

entered the DDNS client name (from the router) in the “Server Address”.

I also put in the Login and Password information.

When I click "Test" I get an error message that says “The server could be joined but failed the SSL certificate check”.

Is it possible to fix this? If so, how? If not, what other approach should I take?

Thanks

Hey Bubbleguuum

I tried using the tethering client but it only works particular. Means that as soon as I add the VideoTranscoding option I receive an error that says this function "takes operand" and the service tethering service doesn't start.

Do I need to install the JDK on the client were I want to run the client or do you have another idea why this happens?

USB audio playing

I'd like to play my music through a DAC wich is not natively compatible with Android. (TEAC AI-501DA)

There is an external music player that has USB music drivers implemented (USB audio player pro).

Do you intend to implement USB audio drivers in your app as they did? Is it possible to use an external audio player with your app? (now or in the near future)

Thank you

Cannot connect to EZCast at all (Illegal value (code: 402))

I'm having a different problem that what others have had with EZCast and volume.

So I go into EZCast and select DLNA, then choose BubbleUPNP. I choose a song (.mp3), change my render device to the EZCast dongle, and hit play. It tries to play for a few seconds, nothing gets played, then I get the toast error saying "Illegal value (code: 402)"

Am I doing something wrong, or is it a bug I'm not aware of? When I'm doing this, I'm connecting to teh dongle directly via Wifi Direct.

---------- Post added at 04:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 AM ----------

Managed to solve my own question. Apparently I needed to restart my TV, EZCast app, and BubbleUPNP. Dont know why but it works.

=============================

Second question, more of a general DLNA question:

Is it possible to have videos decoded on the phone side first, before it's sent to the EZCast dongle or whatever display device I might have? Ie, sending "raw", decoded video to the dongle.

The reason I ask is twofold:

1) The dongle, all TVs, and most other consumer electronics, don't decode 10-bit video, whereas MX Player and other Android apps can

2) The dongle doesn't handle the subtitle stream at all, whereas MX Player can

Thanks!

How IS the server supposed to return "Composer"?? As dc:creator or what?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No, as <upnp:artist role="'Composer>.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Not possible. Renderers decode the video stream, thus are limited by what they support.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No plan for USB audio driver. Do you mean that this DAC only works with this special music player ?

It is not possible to use an external audio player app (unlike video) because it would not be possible to play more than 1 track at a time.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Not sure what your issue it but yes your need Java installed on the client to run the tether client.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I understand your request but no promise.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The "Network and settings" connection screens are *only* for connecting to BubbleUPnP Server which in turn can make your router's media server accessible over the Internet.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If you get an empty folder, the media server running on the NAS has not indexed or recognized the videos.

From the title of the folders you have given, it seem your NAS is running Twonky. You must configure it in its web interface to add the folders holding your videos, so it can index them.

Remote Access of Music on Router Hard Drive

Thank you for your help.

Sorry, I found I can't include your answer to my original question. It is Quote=bubbleguuum: 49689448

I do have a followup question.

Do I have to leave my computer turned on with BubbleUPnPserver running for BubbleUPnP to work remotely? Is it enough to run it once and include the links in Network Settings?

The music files are not on my computer. They reside on a hard drive that is directly attached to the router. When I am away from home I would prefer to turn the computer off. Is there a way to access the files on the router hard drive without going through the computer?

Bought a license and here is my first post - When I select a google cloud music song to stream to receiver, it plays well, but when the song ends, it does not continue to the next song on playlist. I will have to hit the button at the top to play the entire playlist for continuous play. Can we tweak app so it can continue playing next song, after selecting to play any random song? Great stuff!

Bubble upnp and windows phone 8

I've been using Bubble upnp for over a year now and this app offers the ultimate interface for playing music.

My compliments!

Do you have plans to release this app also for windows phone 8?

I've not been able to find a DLNA/Upnp app that really works on wp8, while Bubble Upnp just always works.

At this moment there's no alternative for Bubble UPNP on the wp8 platform.

I hope you're interested in ths platform as well.

[Android Apps and Games] elenhil:
I'm sorry, but is there a thoubleshooting guide or something for me to check?

I've changed my router and it seems to interfere with BubbleUPnP (multicasting is enabled). I have a notebook and a desktop (both running foobar2000, with The BubbleUPnP Server installed on the latter), and a couple of Android devices (running BubbleUPnP). The funny thing is, the notebook and the devices are seeing each other OK via wifi, but the desktop, which is connected to my router via Ethernet, cannot see any of then (either as renderers or media libraries), not can they vice versa. Oh, and the server (installed on the desktop) sees nothing except the local foobar2000 renderer and library, despite the fact that I can, for example, use one of my Android devices to send music from the notebook to my second Android device (which, I believe, means they actually make use of the server).

With my previous router everythinig was pretty much OK.

Any suggestions?

[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
Which model router are you using? What firmware?

Is your WiFi and Ethernet using the same subnet, or different subnets? I had a similar issue and in my case they are on different subnets, and I had to run igmp proxy on my router (openwrt firmware) for devices to see each other.
[Android Apps and Games] elenhil:
Erm... A rather ancient D-link DI-624S firmware v1.12. But I honestly don't know what a subnet is. I didn't change anything except switching the routers.
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
What's the IP address and netmask of the desktop on ethernet, and what is it on one of the wifi devices? Assuming a typical netmask of 255.255.255.0, if your ethernet devices and wifi devices have the first 3 numbers the same (such as 192.168.0.x) then they are on the same subnet, which means they see each other's broadcast packets. If they are on different subnets (such as 192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x) then the don't see each other's broadcasts. Don't worry about the WAN side, that's expected to be totally different anyway, but your 2 LANs (the wired and the wireless) should be on the same subnet.

Check also on your router, any settings about client isolation or similar. You should turn any client isolation off, and if the router has any multicast or DLNA settings, turn those on. Looks like your router has some of these settings under Tools-Misc:

http://support.dlink.com/emulators/di624_revc/tools_misc.html

so turn both UPNP and Multicast streams on. If it still doesn't work, then you probably need to switch to a better router. It's not a BubbueUPnP issue though if the broadcasts between clients are blocked by your particular router, since as you said everything worked fine with your other router.
[Android Apps and Games] elenhil:
They're in the same subnet for sure. Multicasting and UPnP are both enabled.

I am intrigued by the fact that my other devices are seeing each other OK (as OpenHome renderers and proxy media servers, configured with the previous router in place) despite not being visible to the server. Surely it means they are actually using the server, doesn't it? How can it then be possible that the server does not see them?

Music cache not working

Hi

For quite some time, on my two android devices (4.3 and 4.4.2), the music cache is not working on the Player. This happens when I am accessing a DLNA server directly (Twonky) or via a BubbleUPnP Server as Proxy. Nothing goes in the cache folder (Default). The size is set to 500MB. The transcoding settings are set to none.

Hi, I'm brand new to xda and also bubbleupnp. Hopefully this is the right place to put my question...

I'm using bubbleupnp also to download albums from google play music. Mostly this works fine, but for some albums I get only fails for each title. As I recognized the download increases up to 99% and then fails. Also the file in the playlists folder raises first and is deleted at the end.

Any solutions? Is there any option to leave failed files in the playlists folder?

Control renderer using mobile network

Hello,

i love bubbleupnp and purchased the full version for my android. Now i have the question how to access my renderer/library over mobile network. Within my local lan everything works perfect.

I have a raspberry pi with minidlna and gmediarenderer. So i can use bubbleupnp on my android to tell the raspberry what to play on itself. On the raspberry i connected a UKW transmitter that sends music on my own frequency. This is the case why i need to control the raspberry from mobile network as my wlan offers much less range than the ukw transmitter can reach.

Ok, so i think about VPN, Bubbleupnp Server, ...? I tried out some of this ideas but i could only detect my dlna library (connected to bubbleupnp server) but i never saw the renderer. With VPN i had no success at all.

It would be great if you could help me to set up a dlna remote control for my raspberry!

Volume Problems :(

Hello There! I really love this app and look forward to buying it but I'm having difficulty with the volume on both Acer A500 Iconia tablet and Samsung Nexus phone. Receiver is a Onkyo TX-NR1008, MUSIC is stored on Buffalo Link station. The first song started playing and I attempted to adjust volume up. It snapped into 'up'. (Was being impatient) and it BLARED out the speakers. Was right next to receiver so I manually turned down the volume using the knob. Now when I try to turn up the volume on device, the elder snaps back to (say) 20. When I try to turn it up with knob, also turns up on device temporarily then snaps back. This really will be a deal breaker if I can't get it figured out.

Hello! Thank you for your program! I'm using licensing versioт BubbleUPnP 1.7.7.1. She is very good! But, unfortunately, I have some problems - my TV LG 47LM670T can not play a some files received from torrent-trackers or from local SD card and remote UPnP server. He (TV) sees them and tries to lose, but playing stops. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the file being played, while caching is not set the size of the file, or parameters of the codec of these files not the standard. Transkoding use, unfortunately, too doesn't help. Can consider this issue and try to find a solution? For example, forcibly to establish the file size in a cache on any value. Probably, to add any simple standard codec which has to be lost on the majority of devices in an option of transcoding?

Thanks for your work!
