Denon X2000 Low volume.

Hi Guys,

About 2 months ago I got a Denon X2000 AVR and it was working beautifully till I started using BubbleUpnp.

I was listening to music on my AVR via my phone, I had to make a call so I turned down the volume using bubbleupnp. After the call was done, I tried turning up the volume again I couldn't hear anything. So i went to the lounge where the AVR is and I could hear the music very softly.

In bubbleupnp app I cranked up the volume to 100 and I could hear the music but the volume was about a 1/8th of what it should be.

I've uploaded my log.txt file after I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app. (hoping it would reset volume on the AVR to stock).

Please advise if there is something on my side that I can do.

I did reset the AVR and set it up again but the volume is still low.

Hello,

I want to ask a question towards the proxy mode.

Is it possible to access the bubbleupnp files on the android device?

I want to use the proxy server in that way:

Our TV does not display several types of video very well. So I want to

trancode with bubbleupnp server software.

But I don't know if this is possible:

I want to access files on the mobile phone. Then this

media should be transcoded on the fly and streamed to the TV.

The TV acts as client. Is this possible?

TIA

I've restarted my Chromecast three times already and subtitles are still out of sync. :(

Having this issue after seeking in a transcoded video ? That's the issue I fixed yesterday.

Check that your Chromecast firmware build is 19084 (with the Chromecast app).

I'm not sure it would work with previous firmwares.

Yes

Album display on Playlist & Player screens?

I'm contemplating a switch to using BubbleUPnP as a control point and have a question the answer to which is likely to determine whether or not I do switch.

I've found that the Audionet control point app I'm currently using has a major inconvenience for me; while details of the album are listed on all of the library screens they are not displayed on the Playlist or Player screens with this app. Where cover art is available there is usually no problem as it provides sufficient identity, however I use the 'album' tag to hold the 'work name' for classical music and as a result in most cases I do not have any related cover art. Hence my question:

Do the Playlist and Player screens on the BubbleUPnP control point app display the album title?

I've found that JRiverMC + JRemote permits the display of album details in Playlist and Player screens but I'd like to remove the computer from the playback chain and use server software (currently MinimServer) installed on my NAS (Synology DS412+).

Thanks in advance for any responses.

OK, I have setup bubbleupnp sever and I can create a proxy for the andoid bubleupnp player server. This works. :)

But how do I setup transcoding options? I don't want to use a chromecast but my TV needs special video codec formats.

Please can anyone help me?

Now Playing does (and the composer too!) if you toggle it on in the settings. Playlist does by default.

I have an issue using bubbleupn...the idea is to store music in my Box cloud account and stream the music on an Onkyo CN755 player.

-if I try to play music that is stored locally on my tablet everything it's fine

-if I try to play music that is stored on my Google Drive cloud on my tablet everything it's fine

-if I try the same files stored on Dropbox or Box...I have a "resource not found (code 716)" no matter what I try (ex proxy activation, etc)

any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I've made a change for versions older than 19084. Can you reboot your Chromecast and report if it now works ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Send me a log file playing this track to your Onkyo. See first post of this topic for instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP Server only transcode for use with Chromecast. If you need transcoding for other devices, you need to use a media server that supports it. Serviio can be used for this although you'll have to configure it so it considers BubbleUPnP's requests as if it was your renderer (not difficult).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes it can. For the Playlist you have to enable album mode which group tracks by album and includes album info.

For Now Playing there's relevant options that can be enabled to display album name and composer.
[Android Apps and Games] plutus:
just sent you the log file

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] squicky:
Had some trouble connecting to Chromecast, but I've disabled mime check and set timeout to 60s and looks like subtitles are syncing correctly with transcoded videos. BIG THANKS :). Would be nice to have an option to choose user fonts as only default one looks good with my language letters (polish).

Very often bubbleupnp server doesn't work, then I get no audio on Chromecast and have to stop it and start it again. Other time bubbleupnp app doesn't see my serviio server even if I set it also as proxy. Would be nice to have a fix for this too, as I'm getting tired of going up and down the stairs to restart everything :p
[Android Apps and Games] p2p_2:
Thank You for your post.

Could be transcoding for other devices as TVs with limited possebilities for playing other media types be interresting a feature? Where can I start a feature request?

Is BubbleUPnp server open source? Where do I find the sources?

Last Question to your suggestion towards serviio: Our TV cannot be found as a renderer in bubbleupnp player on phone. It only can be used via tv remote to search for servers. I have installed serviio but I don't find an option to add a server like in bubbleupnp server proxy generation dialog. I'M searching for a proxy capable dlna media server but the only one which I found until now is bubbleupnp server.

chromecast audio always echos

Hey,

Im trying to use bubble to send local videos from my Asus Tf101. Everything I play, regardless of video file type echos constantly. The video is reasonably smooth, but not the audio. Im sure its just a setting I have wrong.

Sorry if this has been addressed, but I couldnt find anything.

Genres split by album

Apologies if this one is obvious, I haven't come across a solution search this thread history.

Is it possible to break up genres by album somehow? Not sure if this is BubblePnP specific or server-specific but at the moment when I go into a genre I get a list of artists and then under each artist are songs, not albums. Ideally under each genre I'd love to see albums listed with large cover art ala the (option in the) album view but being able to go genre > artist > album in list views would also be better for now.

I'm using BubbleUPnP 2.0.8.1, MiniDLNA 1.0.24 and BubbleUPnP server 0.8.2 OpenHome renderer

Thanks

mobile data usage?

I have the licensed version and the last few months my data has been off the charts. I have installed Joiku to track data usage. It is accurate to what my carrier says I've used. According to Joiku Bubbleupnp has used over half of my allowable data in just 5 days! It's not set up to a media server... I just play songs that are already saved on the phone. How do I fix this??
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Playing music from where ? From the cloud folders ? From a remote server using BubbleUPNP Server ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This is media server specific. I suggest using MinimServer instead which does what you expect, and more.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This is not a BubbleUPnP problem but a renderer problem or whatever it is connected to play audio.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It's not possible to switch off renderer with UPnP. When I mean it is not possible, it really is not possible.

The closest thing you can do it to stop playback and hope your renderer will put itself in standby or low power mode after a while.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No. This is extremently complex and there are very good media servers that do just that already.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Normally after the sleep timer expires, the app should kill itself after 15 mins, thus not consuming battery. This is assuming that the screen is off, and your device is not plugged to power, and Settings > Kill on inactivty is not disabled.

If that's the case but you still find the app running in the morning, can you tell me which renderer you control with the sleep timer enabled (local ? remote ?) and if you enable "Play until end of track".
[Android Apps and Games] Tyson82:
Sorry for my ignorance, but I dont understand that. My local renderer is MX Player and it never has an audio problem. The echo only happens when I send thevideo to the Chromecast. Can you tell me what you mean?

Thanks a bunch!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Are you using BubbleUPnP Server for transcoding ? If that's the case, are you playing video with multichannel audio (AC3, DTS) ?
[Android Apps and Games] Tyson82:
No, no transcoding. These are video files located on the tablet I am using to send to the chromecast.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok so this issue cannot be due to transcoding. The problem is on the Chromecast: either a bug with decoding audio or an issue with the sound system (amp) it is connected to. BubbleUPnP doesn''t do anything to audio as it just serves a http stream to your Chromecast.
[Android Apps and Games] Tyson82:
Huh, okay. The chromecast sounds fine when I send youtube video or use oher apps though.

Album artwork display pixelated

Hi bubbleguuum,

Really love the app.

However, I'm having an issue with album artwork. My music is stored on a Synology DS213j NAS running their DSM 5.0-4493 Update 5 software and Media Server 1.2-2491.

I'm using BubbleUPnP version 2.0.8.1 (licenced) to send music from the Synology NAS to a Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6. The controlling device is an HTC One M8 running Android 4.4.3. This works perfectly except for the display of album artwork, which looks pixelated on the M8. I've tried tweaking settings (e.g. 'Scale Cover to Fit' On/Off, 'Optimise Bandwidth' set to Off) to no avail.

I have forwarded screenshots and a log to bubbleguuum@free.fr

Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Merci.

Airport Express

From my searching it's been about 2 years since this topic came up. I'd very much like Airport Express support as an audio-only renderer.

With the (awesome) XPosed plugin, this would make a very nice way to play any audio over my home's Airport.

The Synology is sending thumbnails instead of full res images. This can be configured in the configuration of the Synology media server but I don't know how (Google it).

Can't view transcoded video on local renderer (Galaxy S3)

Setup:

Ubuntu 14.04 Server with

Plex 0.9.9.14

Bubbleupnp server 0.8.3

Samsung Galaxy S3 (sprint)

Mx player

Bubbleupnp app 2.0.8.2

I can watch videos fine when they are not transcoded on both mobile and wifi using my S3 as local renderer, but whenever I try to transcode it by changing the settings in the Network options of the bubble app I get an error "failed to retrieve video info" and I see the first couple of frames of video and then it drops back to the bubble app.

Chromecast seems to stream fine. and music will transcode down to 128kbps fine.

I'm not sure where to find the logs. I looked at /var/log/ but all I found was ./upstart/bubbleupnpserver.log. where is the access_log.txt on an ubuntu system? I also checked in /usr/share/bubbleupnpserver.

Thanks for any help in advance

Hi,

Is it possible to add google drive to cloud storages? That would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] 463nt_0ran63:
Thanks for clarifying.

I have kill on inactivity on and set to 5 min and this works great. I only use it local and only local renderer.

In the sleep timer settings I choose play until end of track.

But I think you misunderstood me a little. Your options work very good so no error in your part.

It is more like a feature request what I meant.

So let me rephrase:

Is it possible to have an option where I can set the sleep timer to on ( taking the actual settings into account like it is now) automatically when the app starts? So kind of an autostart sleep mode?
[Android Apps and Games] TMan459:
Hey, great app! Still using it daily, and it's amazing!

I have an issue with the linux BubbleUPnP Server. I run ArchLinux. When high resolution audio transcoding is enabled, transcoding to mp3 doesn't work. Attatched is some relevant log data.

When high resolution transcoding is disabled, mp3 transcoding works. Everything else works as intended.

Also, maybe it's possible for mp3 transcoding to maintain proper sample rate? 24/96 would be *kbps/48, 24/88 would be *kbps/44. Would be neat :).

Thanks for this great software suite!

Auralic Aries

Hi bubbleguuum,

I am using BubbleUPnP with the Auralic Aries, which is running in OpenHome mode. To my surprise, BubbleUPnP implements some of the OpenHome features, which is great. For example, it usually keeps in sync with playlist changes on the Aries.

One thing it does not do is detect the name I've given to the Aries. It shows a blank renderer. In past versions, it showed a Linn icon with no name; now it shows nothing. Could this change?

There are also a few quirks in which sometimes a track won't play at first, which may be due to the Aries (a new product). Usually I can get it to play by going to the next track, then going back. Also, sometimes the"Now Playing" screen is out of sync with what is actually playing. That seems to happen when I have made many changes to the playlist and skipped from track to track.

My question is, how can I get BubbleUPnP (or BubbleDS) to work best with this device? I tried BubbleDS, but it did not detect the Aries. Auralic recommends using Kinsky until their Android app is ready, but I have found the same quirks with Kinsky, and BubbleUPnP is a much better interface.

Thanks!

Mike
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I could reproduce this issue but only for downloads of lossless high-res files, with Settings > Network and settings > Lossless audio bitrate set to some value (not disabled) and "Transcode high-res audio to 44.1/16 or 48/16 FLAC" enabled in BubbleUPnP Server. I fixed it.

Can you confirm you only get this error for downloads ? If you get it for playback, let me know your exact settings in Settings > Network and settings, and whether you use a mobile or WiFi connection
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No icon means that this renderer doesn't include an icon URL in its device description XML. It really should include one. And BubbleUPnP should use a placeholder icon if there isn't one (will fix)

Same for no display name. OpenHome renderers have 2 properties called Room and Name that are generally user customizable. BubbleUPnP doesn't use Room and Name to form the renderer's full display name, but uses the friendlyName field of the device description XML. Here again, this renderer doesn't set a friendlyName, and it really should. It should set a friendlyName based on the Room and Name settings.

However I will probably modify BubbleUPnP to construct a friendly name if none is defined, as fallback.

BubbleDS currently only supports Linn and BubbleUPnP Server OpenHome renderers, which I will probably change.

There are quirks in the Aries implemenation. The OpenHome implementation in BubbleUPnP/BubbleDS is based on the reference implementation found in Linn DS hardware (and which served as the model to implement OpenHome renderers in BubbleUPnP Server).

The developer of Aries should test his implementation against several OpenHome control points and fix any problem (or report problems to CP devs, if applicable)

I suggest you forward this reply to the Aries dev.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No plan for that but you could probably achieve something similar with Tasker or other automation tools (see Settings > About/Help > Tips).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:

Hi all,

am I the only one who has problems with displaying thumbnails of embedded cover arts?

All my covers are saved in the mp3 tag.

BubbleUPnP does not display them.
[Android Apps and Games] joedirt7:
My first thought was that the app was wrong.. but when i checked it with my provider.. it was the same.
[Android Apps and Games] TMan459:
None of this was via downloading, all straight streaming playback. I tried both WiFI and mobile connections, both spitting the same log entires when high resolution transcodes won't play. I also tried toggling transcoded audio seeking on the server's configuration file and had no luck either way.

So, w/o having BubbleUPnP Server downsample FLAC, every feature of the server and client works great. If downsampling is on, transcoding to mp3 doesn't work from high res audio. Standard 16/44 FLAC still gets transcoded properly, it's just high res files.

Hope to see a resolution! In the meantime, I'm just toggling server-side transcoding, which isn't the worst workaround!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Sorry for asking a stupid thing, but I read the app description without being able to figure out some things...

apart from casting videos and pics from my phone to my smart TV, can I also see only on my phone screen videos streamed from my nas, Dropbox and such? I'm other words : can this app work as a server for dlna TV AND as a client for dlna nas /other devices?

Lastly, can I also stream videos from YouTube (on my phone) to my TV? That would be a real dream!!

Cheers and keep up the good work

Aries "Friendly Name"

B--

I heard from the CEO of Auralic. He asked his engineers to include a friendly name in the Aries XML, but later, he wrote me:

All I can do is act as intermediary. I have no idea what the spec (if there is one) says, but I like the idea of constructing a name as you proposed.

Thanks,

Mike
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That comment is weird as real Linn DS devices includes a friendly name ...and an icon.

Anyway it doesn't matter as the next version will default to "Room: Name" as friendly name if there isn't one set.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'll see if I can reproduce it, but there is not much point having transcode to mp3 (in Android BubbleUPnP) and downsample high-res audio (in BubbleUPnP Server) enabled at the same time, as the first setting will override the second.

The use case of the "downsample high-res audio" setting is for use on mobile networks such as LTE that have sufficient bandwidth for 44.1/16 and 48/16 audio but not for higher. In other terms: for never transcoding audio except high-res audio. The moment you enable mp3 transcoding, high-res audio will be force transcoded to mp3 anyway regardless of the server setting (except that it doesn't work for you).

Summary: either set transcode to mp3 or downsample high-res audio but not both at the same time.
[Android Apps and Games] TMan459:
This is true. Let me be precise. I have a 24/96 flac file that when I'm on mobile I'd like transcoded to mp3. This same file on WiFi I'd like downsampled to flac 16/48, WiFi being not my home network WiFi. My upload pipe isn't big enough (or my cell phone's outside-of-home-network WiFi connection has super slow internet) to stream 24/96 glitch free.

Setting it up for this scenario causes the issue I'm describing (flac downsampling enabled on the server and mp3 transcoding enabled in the app).

It would be doubly neat to have specific settings per SSID, say setting no flac downsampling on one, and downsampling enabled on another!

Also like I mentioned, a simple workaround exists (enabling/disabling flac downsampling on the server).

Hope this helps!

EDIT: Should also mention. The issue has the Android app set to not transcode on WiFi, and to transcode on mobile.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
OK thanks for the details.

I found the cause of the failure and fixed it for the next update: it only happens if caching to SD card is enabled for the current network connection type. It should work as you expect if you set to "Disabled" Settings > Network and Settings > Active on connection (in the "SD Card Music caching" section). This will disable sd card caching.

Then set other settings in the "Music playback transcoding to local renderer" section like this (which is probably already the case according to your description):

Mobile Max Bitrate: 320 Kbps => On mobile, this will transcode anything higher than 320K to 320K.

WiFi/Eth Max bitrate: No Transcoding => on your Home WiFi or other WiFi , this will not transcode anything except high-res audio to 44.1/16 or 48/16 FLAC (as specified by the relevant BubbleUPnP Server setting).

For wanting to not transcode high res audio when in your Home WiFi, there is not much point to doing that (for local Android playback) as the Android audio subsystem is limited to 48/16 anyway. If you need to access the high-res stream for playing to an external renderer supporting these, browse the orginal media server instead (eg not the one with [Home] or your network name appended).
[Android Apps and Games] TMan459:
Nice. Disabling SD caching indeed fixes the issue. I also wasn't aware of the maximum sampling rate for Android, good to know!

Great job and keep up the great work!
