Not with UPnP/DLNA. If you want multiroom, look into Chromecast Audio (to which BubbleUPnP can play, included a group of devices for multiroom).

Firmware is updated. When i was using 2 weeks ago, trial version I could easily do that things (seek/pause). Now when i bought app errors ocurrs.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What if you reboot it ?
[Android Apps and Games] kilonek:
Reboot? what do u mean exactly? Explain please.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Reboot your renderer. Unplug / replug power.

Have tried everything and no luck.. With my note 4 and tab 3 the stream always crashes, unless I keep the screen on until it caches the entire video then i ca n turn off screen that ot plays with no problem.

Also have tried with my moms xperia z tablet and it works OK.. Very annoying this situation.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Did you get my detailed email answer to the log you sent, with stuff to try for troubleshooting ?
[Android Apps and Games] crosshelder:
Yes I did.. I checked every step of your guide.. The only thing I notice is the ping increases a little bit the response time. But no error in the packages sent..

SRT Files

In the past week or so, I have had issues loading external subtitles (srt) to Chromecast. The app freezes for a minute or two, and then says "unable to upload subtitle." Chromecast and the app are both up to date. Any thoughts? I have the log file, if that would help. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's a recurring issue that happens after a few days because of a web service on my side becoming unresponsive until I restart it (which I just did, so it should work now). I am investigating the root cause for a permanent fix. So please be patient.

Heyyy Bubbleguuum

Would it be possible to use the bubble upnp server to make samsung multiroom speakers available as dlna renderer as its possible with chromecast since the last update?

[MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION]

as being not only a happy user of BubbleUPnP app but also of foobar2000 and your great plugin foo_upnp I wrote in the hydrogenaudio forum under

foobar2000->3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k)->Customize Upnp Media Library Tree

Unfortunately I didn't get any answer, so I do this cross post (sorry):

I'd like to add a selection by Composer in the media library tree by adding those lines to foo_upnp_ml_tree.xml:

<SubTree label="Composers">

<spec type="object.container.person.composer">%composer%</spec>

<spec type="object.container.album.musicAlbum">%album%</spec>

</SubTree>

In the console I get this error message:

foo_upnp: 1319.1319846: media_tree_ml_filter_spec::parse(313)/3512: SEVERE: <spec> element in SubTree 'Composers' has unknown attribute type: object.container.person.musicComposer

How can I add the composer?

Seems I'm not aware of the possible attribute types. Is there a list of supported ones?

Your help is kindly appreciated.

Thanks

Just installed the latest upgrade to Android BubbleUPnP. Using Serviio as the server on my PC, and a Sony blu-ray player as media playback client. When I activate gapless playback of a playlist sometimes tracks repeat. This never happens with the gapless option turned off. Would this be solved if I changed over to using BubbleUPnP as the server on the PC, or is there some other setting on the phone, or in Serviio, I can adjust? Thanks.

Hello,

the latest changelog adds support to Android devices without installed Google Play Services (GAPPS):

How do I get this working? I'm using microG GmsCore (http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-microg-gmscore-floss-play-services-t3217616)

None of my chromecast devices is shown as renderer.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This will currently be enabled only if Google Play Services is not detected, as in API

GoogleApiAvailability.getInstance().isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(context) returning ConnectionResult.SERVICE_MISSING .

I suppose that with GmsCore, BubbleUPnP thinks GMS is installed.

is there a way that GmsCore can be detected (vs regular GMS) ?

EDIT: found a way to detect it, and in next update, if GmsCore is found it will not disable standalone Google Cast support
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
replace object.container.person.composer by object.container.person.musicArtist

You cannot put what you want in the type attribute.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Gapless control does not work with all renderers, with the defects you describe.

The only way is to turn off gapless control.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No. If these devices are not already UPnP/DLNA renderers, then Samsung must use some proprietary protocol and you are out of luck.
[Android Apps and Games] Serienheld:
multiple renderer in parallel

Thank you for the quick response.

Do you mean BubbleUPnP today is not cabable of telling two renderer to play the same from a DLNA server in parallel or do you mean such a solution would not possible to implement at all?
[Android Apps and Games] samnada:
Thanks very much for the prompt, helpful reply. That narrowed it down, so I switched renderer to my AVR and so far so good. Fingers crossed. Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] gendouhydeist:
I hope that you can implement https://github.com/libass/libass transcoding. FWIK no app has supported this yet through smart transcoding.

I now have OpenHome renderers set up for all my Chromecasts. Groups don't seem to be working though. Bubbleupnp indicates the track is playing, but no music comes out of the Chromecast Audios.

Before the uodate, I could stream directly to my Xbox one. After the uodate, when I go to stream , It does not give me the Xbox one option under local renderer. It doesn't give me any option at all actually please help.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It suppose you mean the update to BubbleUPnP Server ?

Try to stop and restart it. Eventually reboot your PC if you cannot get it to restart.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Reboot your WiFi router and (if necessary) Xbox.

For the Xbox, do a full reboot long-pressing the power button for several seconds.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the feedback. Implementing this functionality has not been easy.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I could not test this scenario as I only have 1 Chromecast Audio, but therically playing to a group should be transparent and work.

Maybe try to restart Serviio from the Serviio Console.
[Android Apps and Games] Hewie916:
No, the BubbleUpnP for DLNA/Chromecast Android App self-updated, and now I can't access my server. The server is a PC running Foobar2000 with foo_upnp component installed. PC shows "Media Server is Started" I've tried the following:

1. re-install BubbleUpnP app on android

2. re-install foo_upnp component

3. restart PC

4. restart home network/wifi

What's next?

Thanks,

No subtitles to Chromecast, previous version needed

When streaming from my DLNA Server (Mezzmo) through BubbleUPnP Server to Chromecast (2015) subtitles are no longer loaded although it worked fine for months since I started using BubbleUPnP.

I uninstalled/reinstalled BubbleUPnP, tried any file (transcoded/untranscoded, external srt) that used to work but no success. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the apk through Googgle Play, no success. It has to be the new version of BubbleUPnP server that's causing the issue (neither Mezzmo or CC were updated).

Does anyone know where can I find the previous version of BubbleUPnP Server? (current: 0.9-update16)

EDIT 1: Same behavior with Serviio, failed to convert subtitle

EDIT 2: Pretty sure it's a BubbleUPnP Server issue.

Subtitles are streamed correctly to CC 2015:

From BubbleUPnP Android to CC

From Bubble UPnP Server (Mezzmo, Serviio) to MX Player on Android

Always the same message "failed to convert subtitle"
[Android Apps and Games] CassandraN:
The group problems may be due to a bug in Chromecast Audio's group support that is making my group playing unreliable at the moment. I'll get back to you if it still persists if/when Google fix my Chromecast groups randomly stopping working. I've tried to reproduce today, but I am now seeing the same symptoms in Google Play as with BubbleUPNP, which I wasn't when I did the first test.

Google Chromecast support is also done by Internet forum. They have done nothing to resolve the problem in over 2 months. Such a different experience from here.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This is an app problem and will be fixed later today with an app update.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ouch. it is a bug introduced in v2.6. It will be fixed in an update later today.
[Android Apps and Games] thdervenis:
Yeah, I'd kind of figured it out since I uninstalled BubbleUPNP Server and still this issue occurred when streaming untranscoded video+subs to CC from Mezzmo.

Thanks for the respone. I 'll be waiting for the update.

Does that video plays fully if you play it locally for example to MX Player ?

Hey guys,

I've had an odd issue for a bit and finally decided it's worth dropping by and asking about. I'm using jriver as library and renderer and bubbleupnp server creating an openhome renderer for it.

Feature request: add support for custom profiles

The rationale: it is not uncommon to use Bubble UPnP for managing a few server and renderers in the same LAN. Often, one would like to enforce certain combinations of server, renderer and settings. For instance, one might want the Bubble UPnP local renderer to be fed by a different server than, say, a upmpdcli renderer running on a dedicated music server. For a specific server/renderer pair, settings might also be different than for other server/renderer combinations.

The feature request: add a save profile and a load profile option. A profile defines a server/renderer pair and a complete set of configuration options. Available profiles could be made visible and selectable at the top of the control bar.

Best regards,

[Android Apps and Games] gozzaa:
I would love that too.

It's very annoying that every video I play is added to the Playlist. At the moment after playing a video it jumps to some old video I played and throws an error. After that the next video + error and so on.

I just want bubble up to quit playing after the video has finished

Any way to prevent the adding of every played item to the Playlist? I thought play lists are made by me not by the app

Don't be offended :) otherwise I love your app

Playlist Request

I just started using BubbleUPnP as a control point between minimserver and RuneAudio (I've been using it for video streaming successfully for quite a while now).

Problem is, say I select a Genre and it has a *lot* of tracks. They get copied to BubbleUPnP's playlist reasonably quickly & without issue. Then BubbleUPnP sends the entire playlist to RuneAudio's playlist. This takes quite some time and can crash RuneAudio.

Foobar's UPnP control point, written by none other than bubbleguuum, has the option of queue'ing one song at a time to the RuneAudio playlist (actually 2 songs - the song playing & the next song) in addition to downloading (Play To) the entire playlist to the renderer's playlist .

It's be great if BubbleUPnP had the same option: to have BubbleUPnP cycle through the playlist by queueing one song at a time or to download the entire playlist to the renderer as it does now.

Thanks & Cheers,

Loving BubbleUPnP (i run it with Serviio to stream the video to my Chromecast) :victory:

Just a little issue: if i start a movie, and i don't pause it once (a second is enough) there's a noticeable stuttering.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I cannot reproduce this issue and it doesn't make sense for it to happen unless there a bug in classloading of the JRE used.

Assuming OpenJDK is used on FreeNAS, it may be one of its oddities...

If you restart BubbleUPnP Server entirely (eg not from the web) does it persist ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Are you using BubbleUPnP Server for transcoding (or local transcoding) ?

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP doesn't support SMB shares and there is no plan for it as it is not very efficient (must always be proxied).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
OK, it does indeed not work. I will fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, this will happen because the the OH renderer receive a 'stop' event and thinks current track has finished playing and starts next track.

I must find a way to prevent this but this is more difficult than it sounds.

The solution for now it to clear the OpenHome Playlist before playing from MC itself.
[Android Apps and Games] nbpf:
That's a pity because profiles would make things so much easier!

Just set up a profile for the kitchen, a second one for the living room and perhaps a third one for the bedroom and you are done!

As the available server/renderer/options combinations increse, one needs some means for keeping the complexity in check, I believe.

Feature request: provide option to open liner notes

The rationale: when tapping the cover art in "NOW PLAYING", Bubble UPnP shows a list of metadata for the currently playing item. Among others, it shows a URL for the item, for instance

http://192.168.xxx.yyy:9790/minimse...s-Spring_in_E_Major_RV_269_I_Allegro-LLS.flac

It would be useful if Bubble UPnP could add a link to

http://192.168.xxx.yyy:9790/minimse...n*20in*20tromba*20marina*20(2015)/booklet.pdf

to the list. This would provide a simple but effective means for accessing the liner notes of the currently playing album by just tapping the link.

The feature request: add to an item's metadata a URL with the item's name replaced by "booklet.pdf" (or some customizable string)

(Really sorry but search function is not working for me right now)

- I want to stream G00gle Music from my smartphone via Fire TV to my amplifier (need FTV cause amplifier has no net ability). So far so good. It works fine.

But when the smartphone gets locked while playing a song (playlist or radio) it will not start the next song playing. I've noticed this on different Android devices. As far as I remember it worked formerly.

Do You have an idea (licensed version)?

Thanks in advance! And thanks for the great app!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I understand your request but it is really too specific to the internals of MinimServer and works by luck (the luck being that MinimServer does not reject

this booklet.pdf URL).

I had a discussion with Simon some time ago about transmitting booklet URLs, but he rejected all my propositions because 'not standard' while the UPnP spec explicitely provides a way to transmit non standard metadata (WMP in particular uses it).

If he changes his mind and transmit a PDF url (whatever the method), I will support it. But I will not add a specific hack based on modifying stream URLs.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I cannot reproduce this issue on my setup. but there's a lot of variability between devices when the screen is off, especially rooted ones with battery optmization apps (eg Greenify).

Can you tell if you have this issue if you stream mp3 locally stored on your phone? That test is to check if it is possibly a Google Music issue..
[Android Apps and Games] muggel6:
I've already checked some options: I deactivated unlock by password e.g. The three devices I have tested with are all rooted (and all Samsung devices).

Will check this later - thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Samsung...these one can be problematic.

Start the Smart Manager app, battery section, and check that BubbleUPnP is not in the list of 'Optimized' apps.
[Android Apps and Games] nbpf:
Thanks for the feedback bubbleguuum, I very much understand your point! I do not think that adding an option for opening a default URL would be a hack, however. It would just exploit possibly available information. It would not be conceptually different from attempting at retrieving lyrics or other album-related data on the basis of the item's metadata. What I though was appealing in my suggestion is its simplicity and the fact that, for many users, being able to access the liner notes of an album could be a strong motivation for adopting Bubble UPnP. One can of course always tap the URL and manually replace the file name with a default string in a browser's navigation bar. It works fine but is a bit awkward. Best, nbpf

[Android Apps and Games] nbpf:
It would not actually be necessary to rely on MinimServer to implement the feature. MPaD, for instance, requires the user to run an HTTP server to provide liner notes. It does not rely on MPD for this service.

One could take advantage of the information about the current playing item (provided by MinimServer or by some other UPnP server) to issue a request to a user-definable HTTP server.

The HTTP server would not need to run on the same machine on which the UPnP server is running, it only had to ensure that the booklet.pdf files are accessible in a folder structure that is consistent with that discovered by Bubble UPnP on the basis of UPnP metadata.

This solution would not depend on the internals of MinimServer or, in fact, of any other UPnP server. Bubble UPnP would only offer the option of (attempting at) opening a booklet.pdf file if the user provides an HTTP server.

Hey dude, quick one: is there any interest in adding google now voice command functionality? I was reading this [http://trendblog.net/list-of-google-now-voice-commands-infographic/] and specifically noticed the March 15 update which says you can submit requests to have voice commands for your app included in Google Now but I just checked and apparently they're not currently accepting requests, as of Dec 15 [https://developers.google.com/voice-actions/custom-actions] but it looks like you can have system actions point to bubble, e.g. "ok google, listen to Triumph by The Wu Tang Clan" asks me "which music app" and lists youtube, google play music, something else and poweramp. But not bubble, sadly. I chose poweramp and it didn't work, but "listen to All Night" played that track automatically in google play music (without letting me choose which app). Not sure if this is something you're interested in looking into?

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
On OpenHome renderers the whole Playlist (playback queue) is sent to the renderer.

This might be slow for a huge number of tracks, although if the renderer crashes (upmpdcli) you should report it.

If you configure upmpdcli to be a regular UPnP AV renderer, you will not have this issue as the Playlist is managed entirely

on the Control Point (BubbleUPnP) side (with its drawbacks).
