That "Clear thumbnail cache" is disabled and has the value "empty". So it's not taking space. What else could take so much space (70,49 MB)? The BubbleUPnP_export with all checked (settings, playlists and bookmarks) I have stored to Google Drive only takes 42 KB.

I tend delete all data and restore from the Backup-file.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@msssm

You can check file size of folder on user accessible local storage for the app: /Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp.

If size of this folder is low, then the size if coming from non user accessible internal storage used by the app.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@Amad0r

You need an UPnP media server supporting playlists. MinimServer is such server and I recommend it. It supports m3u(8) playlists.

Today I discovered that bubbleupnp-server is crashing on my Synology DS216+II, running in a Docker container. Here is the log:

Spoiler content hidden.

I use bubblesoftapps/bubbleupnpserver-openj9 because the other image is crashing constantly. It has been working recently. Any ideas? My DSM version is 7.0.1-42214 RC and if IIRC I updated because there was an issue with OpenSSL (Security Advisory Synology-SA-21:24). It may have started crashing after the update.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@eTaurus

There's a bubblesoftapps/bubbleupnpserver-openj9-leap image that fixes it. It will probably replace the current openj9 image (which works fine on most devices, just not on some Syno devices due to an obscure FIPS issue I'm not sure where it is coming from).

I have loaded bubbleupnp on my chromecast for google tv (for my 2'nd TV without cablebox) and created favorites folder with channels from my homerunprime comcast M card and use VLC to view the programs on the TV. Since it's not touchscreen I cannot rearrange the order of stations in my favorites folder. I tried long holding the station with the google tv remote to select, but could not move its position up/down. I made the bubbleupnp installed on the chromecast for google TV visible on the network, and accessed it with my android phone, but that would not allow me to re-order the station links either. It would be nice to have a move up or down option in the menu when clicking on the 3 dots next to the station link. Maybe there is another way to rearrange favorites?

A couple of other conveniences would be to have an settings option for bubbleupnp when launched to automatically open to a specific folder, i.e. favorites.

This may be a VLC interface issue, but a 'last station' or last stream icon would be a time saver. When I use the back arrow icon it takes me back to the original favorites list.

Awesome program. Changing channels is so much quicker than the xfinity android app or the HDhomerun app.

The speed of bubbleupnp / VLC coupled with an optional programming guide to change channels and subtitles for live tv would make it perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@gergev

As you observed, reordering items in 'Saved Playlist' only works on touch devices.

No plan to add support to non-touch for this, as this would be not trivial to implement and for very few users.

However, if you can find a way to emulate a pointer on the CCwGTV, it would be a solution as you would then be able to drag thumbnails with it. Some apps allow to do this (eventually using a phone for controlling the cursor) but I it requires more investigation. Ideally an app that would just use the D-PAD to move the cursor.
[Android Apps and Games] msssm:
I exported all from inside BubbleUPnP into a file called "BubbleUPnP_export" with 43,8KiB size. This is a ZIP file, extracted it takes 124,8KiB. I deleted all BubbleUPnP data, and imported that file. Now the app has 35,59MiB user data. That is less than before but still a lot for such a few imported data. What do you think about that?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@msssm

I would not worry about it.

/data/app is managed by the system and contains the APK + ART data:

hammerhead:/data/user_de/0 # du -h /data/app/~~3xqZ9EpixS6j4_Po0oYdkw==/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp-l4eCiQgAT_VJQ5kTWkwN2Q==

/data/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp/ contains the app's internal storage (not user accessible unless rooted). There are various caches and data not meant to be backuped, some of them internal (such as the WebView cache, BubbleUPnP as a few uses of it). They are cleared when you use the 'Clear data' button in the Android settings, for the app. Depending on Android version, there can sometimes be symbolic link to the /data/app/ folder which could explain the big size you observe.

/mnt/runtime/default/emulated/0/Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp is the app's external storage (user accessible, except on Android 11+) whose big size should be mostly the thumbnail cache, but there's also the BubbleUPnP Server music cache and other smaller caches (on top of my head: color art, Chromecast subs).

/data/user_de/0/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp I'm not too sure about it but it seems to contain another cache about Skia and OpenGL shaders. This is handled by the system:

hammerhead:/data/user_de/0 # du -h /data/user_de/0/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp
4.0K	/data/user_de/0/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp/cache
120K	/data/user_de/0/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp/code_cache
128K	/data/user_de/0/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp

Your backup app might backup a lot of unnecessary stuff. The BubbleUPnP export function only export configuration, Saved Playlists and Bookmarks which are very small.

hi..

im trying to get bubbleupnp to work like a screen for my streamer by placing my android table/phone at the rack where i can see it and control it using 2.4G remote with the dongle connected to the tablet/phone..

im now able to navigate bubble upnp using mouse cursor for browsing play pause next prev.. but i cant use the media key on the remote to control playback like play pause next prev..

i saw there is setting for the media key in bubbleupnp setting but enabling those still cant make it work..

how do i make it work? which functional key map to use for media playback to select in button mapper?
[Android Apps and Games] avlid:
At DPI 320 it is reflected normally, and if it is below (240-280) then the "Advanced" tab is visible, but without the bottom panel. Therefore, there is no access to the settings and the exit button. Can you make it look the same at 280 as at 320? And can you add in the options that the exit button is used either to exit or to minimize? It's just that if you completely exit, nothing will be sent from the phone ...

I've recently changed my phone, my old phone ran Android 8.1, my new Pixel 4a has the latest OS.

On 'Now Playing' on my old phone I have 'Scale Cover to fit' set at 'On (keep aspect ratio).

The cover does not not touch the sides of the screen but is shown in a perfect square.

I've tried all 'Scale cover to fit' options with the new phone but can't get it to show the cover with a perfect square, all options has the cover touching the sides.

I will fix it properly but in the meantime, disabling 'More > Gear icon > COntrol > Android 11+ Notification' should fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] samnada:
Just encountered a playlist anomaly (bug). Had several songs queued, mistakenly enqueued one of them again, which was added to the bottom of the playlist as it should. I then edited the playlist and tried to remove that bottom one, however, it deleted the one higher up, so now the playlist was out of order.

Thanks as always for your great app, and the frequent updates.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:

Having the same track multiple times in the Playlist tab is a long standing bug. It's rather tricky to fix and the fix could cause other more severe problems, so I left this one as it is.

I've just been putting together a system for someone comprising MinimServer, BubbleUPnP server, BubbleUPnP and Sonos, and whilst I was taking him through it the BBC MPEG DASH streams were stuttering, playing about 10 seconds followed by a few seconds of silence, and repeating.

To narrow things down I tried adding the URL directly into BubbleUPnP and playing to the local renderer, and whilst it wasn't as often, I found I got 19 seconds of radio followed by 41 seconds of silence, repeating.

I don't listen to radio much myself, but I know this was working at some point, and I don't have old apk's to try to see if I could narrow it down (assuming it's on the app side of things).

The url I'm trying to play is:

http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/dash/uk/dash_full/ak/bbc_radio_one.mpd

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] simonMBUK:
Setting the 'Decode audio to PCM for' in BubbleUPnP server to 'Never' sent the stream direct to Sonos and everything played correctly.

The definition of the stream in MinimServer is [R1;aac,48000], but looking at the Sonos speaker 'info' in BubbleUPnP, it announces that it supports M4A but doesn't mention AAC directly (but does mention MPEG-DASH), is this why it's being decoded to PCM?

[Android Apps and Games] MordredKLB:
Tried to download some files from Dropbox to my Samsung using the app for the first time in a couple weeks and they were all failing. This normally happens when I run out of storage, but I still have 30GB+ free. I went to Settings > Downloads > Download Folder and there's a big message at the top that says "Can't use this folder. To protect your privacy choose another folder." I selected the same BubbleUPnP folder (/storage/emulated/0/BubbleUPnP), hit the "Allow BubbleUPnP to access files in /BubbleUPnP" button. And downloads failed again. I created a brand new folder, and I'm still seeing that "Can't use this folder" message. I can playback anything already downloaded to the device, but it's like the app can't write to it for some reason.

Any ideas?

Dear @bubbleguuum, as I upgraded my Synology DS218j NAS to DSM 7 I learned from https://www.bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver2/docs/nas_install.html that there is no package of BubbleUPnP Server yet. As this NAS does not run Docker I am unable to install and run a BubbleUPnP Server, which I desperately need to create OpenHome Renderers of my Chromecast Audio devices. Will there be a package in the future, as more and more users will update to DSM 7? It would be great...!

[Android Apps and Games] Amad0r:
I cannot use BubbleUPNP (paid version from amazon appstore) since I upgraded my Pixel 3a to Android 12.

When I start the app I have a popup named "App update required" with this msg : "Please update this App from the Amazon Appstore" and 2 choices : "Quit" and "Update".

" Quit" does not quit : it just puts the app in the background.

"Update" leads me to the Amazon Appstore where there is no update available. Moreover, BubbleUPNP is listed as 'incompatible with my device'.

The funny thing is that I can use the 'notification controls' of BubbleUPNP to control the app : increase/decrease volume, previous/play/next. But I'm stucked in my last playlist.

So the update needed is to remove the blocking update warning (and list the app as compatible)

Recently I have been having problems with playback with no changes in setup. Android app says "Warning: media may not be supported by Chromecast. The LAN media cannot be transcoded by the remote BubbleUPnP server." It starts loading, buts stops. I have transcoding enabled, and server is running fine. It may start playing, but if I stop and restart, I get error messages. Using Serviio server running fine.

I disabled internet access on server and removed server info in Android app as I was writing this, and now it's fine.
[Android Apps and Games] MrOtto123:
The problems of files having played fine before on Chromecast and now I get no playback with error message in BubbleUPnP app or stutter and ffmpeg using 100% of 8 core 4 gHz CPU on server is because of Serviio. Even before I tried to update to v2.2. I disabled Serviio and using SimpleDLNA server instead and no problems. But is video quality worse than with Serviio?

FEATURE REQUEST:

First off, sorry if this has been asked before. I searched this thread but didn't see anything relevant in my results.

I'd like to be able to toggle an option in Settings for a second Playlist Library tab. I binge watch TV episodes but like to listen to music between episodes (both coming from my Windows libraries). This is currently a pain in BubbleUPNP because I have to back all the way out of Video and then go into Music, losing my place in the Video library in the process (or maybe I'm just dumb and I'm doing it all wrong, wouldn't be the first time). Then I have to reverse that all for the next TV episode. It would be so much nicer to just be able to switch from a Video Playlist Library tab to a Music Playlist Library tab and vice-versa. Is that possible?

Love the app. Been using it for a few years for pretty much all of my home media. Thanks so much!

I am running BubbleUPNP on my Android 8.1 mobile.

I'm using the Arcam AVR390 as the renderer, connected to Minimserver on my Synology DS215j.

Everything is up to date.

Bubbleupnp is not working correctly and I'm not sure what is causing it.

The 'seekbar' does not work at all but it does show the length of each track that is played at the end of the seekbar.

Playback stops after a few tracks, sometimes it's 4 tracks, other times it's after a few more tracks than 4.

The slider for volume works but the +/- for volume does not. I would rather use +/-.

Any idea what I can do to get this to work properly? Could it be the Arcam that is the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] ktrokar:

One problem, different to my question above.

I've been testing the Bubbleupnp app (as explained above) with the Arcam AVR390.

I turned my Lumin T2 on to play some music and my playlist is empty. I tried importing a saved export file, it says it was imported successfully but my playlist is still empty.

Any idea why the playlist is still empty?

If I can't import the playlist, is it possible to open up the exported file to see my playlist?

Hello,

I'm facing strange issue with Qobuz and BubbleUpnpServer latest release (running on Raspberry Pi).

Same problem occuring with either Linn or Lumin as Ipad application.

Here is the problem description :

- I'm launching an album

- It plays good, until there is no more sound

- checking the "playlist", the song is still running and running again .... even if the song is 3mn long, the song reached 7mn and more without any sound and without skipping to the next song.

Problem does not seem to happen using MConnect.

I have run BubbleUpnpServer for years without any issue in the same context, except the fact that I have recently switch from Tidal to Qobuz.

Thanks for your help and support.

The content of the Playlist tab is not exported to file (Export/Import > Export to file). Only 'Saved Playlists' (in Library > Saved Playlists) are exported. Maybe it should, will have to think about it.

if you wish to export the content of the Playlist tab (for later importing), you can save it as a Saved Playlist in Playlist tab > 3 dot menu > Add to Saved Playlist.

Hi! Anybody got the same problem with me?

Upon updating to A12 the bubbleupnp cannot see mx player as a video player.. any fix?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@the.c0re

It's a MX Player issue, Android 12 specific due to the way the system enumerates apps able to handle web links.

MX Player needs to update its Manifest, adding <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" /> to their ""android.intent.action.VIEW" intent-filter.

In the meantime, install VLC which will be properly listed.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@KraftwerkElectro

This looks to be issues specific to this renderer.

Can you send me a log file (see first post of this topic for logging instructions), playing tracks until playback unexpectedly stops.

Also attempt to change volume with +/- buttons (I assume these are on-screen buttons in the Now Playing tab?).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@ktrokar

My guess is that the underlying media server (library) is only returning thumbnails images to BubbleUPnP for album art.

What is the value of 'More > Gear icon > Now Playing > Scale cover to fit' ? If you have set it to 'Only in portrait', change it to 'On' so it also applies to landscape.

[Android Apps and Games] Phil Olenick:
I'm a long-time user of BubbleUPnP who has spent years singing its praises over at the AVScience home theater forums, who got a new car this summer and discovered the joys of Android Auto. For months, to use BubbleUPnP in the car, I was disabling Android Auto by moving the phone's USB cable from the car's data port to a cigarette-lighter power adapter and using Bluetooth to send my music to the car stereo and the phone's screen to navigate with Waze - which led me to rely mainly on TuneIn Radio and Amazon Music, both of which apps are integrated into Android Auto.

But I've recently discovered that while Android Auto doesn't know that Android BubbleUPnP exists, it is actually possible to play BubbleUPnP through the car stereo without disabling Android Auto if you take the following precaution: on the car's Android Auto app screen, select an audio app but don't select anything to play, since turning up the car stereo's volume control will start whatever program is selected in that app, hijacking the stereo away from BubbleUPnP.

For example, if you select TuneIn Radio or other radio app, it will start the last radio station played when you turn up the volume, grabbing the stereo away from BubbleUPnP. But the Amazon Music app will not do that if you turn up the volume - it will just sit there and let BubbleUPnP play- which is exactly what you want.

Once you've done that, you can play whatever you want from Android BubbleUPnP through the car stereo. You'll have to use the phone's screen to choose what to play and to start and stop play, but the car stereo's volume and tone controls will work for your music, which will be sent over the USB cable as CD-quality PCM (16/44.1), instead of the lossy compression used by Bluetooth.

And the rest of Android Auto's features will still work: running your phone's copy of Waze or Google Maps on the car's big screen and the speakerphone/text message features of Android Auto will also work.

Yes, I'd like voice-controlled access to my music library, but this way around the problem is much better than disabling Android Auto!
[Android Apps and Games] Phil Olenick:
UPDATE: Tonight, when I turned the volume knob while playing music from my phone's BubbleUPnP player, Amazon Music grabbed the stereo away and started playing from a play queue that I never set up, composed of tracks I've never heard of. I told the dash: "Amazon Music, clear the queue!" It answered "I'm sorry Dave, but I can't do that."

So on the the phone's screen I opened Amazon Music. Took it out of car mode and found the play queue, and at the bottom of the screen listing the tracks was the word "Clear." Tapped it and the queue was empty, and it went back to being able to sit and do nothing when I turned the volume control.
[Android Apps and Games] KraftwerkElectro:
I've sent you a log file.

I played music until it stopped and I also tried changing volume with the +/- using the on-screen buttons in the Now Playing tab. 'Mute' works but not the +/-.
