Playing a local video file from my Android device to my chromecast -> black screen on my tv

Android L on my Nexus 5 & 7
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. BubbleUPNP (the local media server) never supported cue sheets. There are rare external media server that do.

2. I suppose you found a place in BubbleUPnP where polish glyphs do not display ? Or is it something else ? Where was it exactly in the app ?

3. How often does it happen ? playing to which renderer ?
[Android Apps and Games] niggle1:
Sorry, yes, it's a Nexus 2012 tablet, Android 4.4.4. The same covers display ok on the same tablet with Poweramp.

I also have an HTC One, Android 4.4.2, but that has no missing covers.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks. The app has a specific workaround for loading bitmaps in Android 4.4.3+ due to this horrible regression. This workaround is likely the cause and I will investigate it.

New version seems to have lost 'classical-friendly' features!

The new version of BubbleUPnP appeared on my smartphone this morning for the first time. My initial impression was that the interface was slicker and probably easier for a first time user. However, this positive reaction did not last very long. What has happened to the previous ability to display the composer name? This is an essential element for all users whose primary interest is in classical music!

Previously, there was an option to set 'Display/Item height' to 'Large', which permitted the Now Playing screen to show four metadata tags at the top of the screen, i.e. Track, Artist, Album and Composer (not necessarily in that order). I used MinimServer to remap my custom Work tag to the Album tag, with the result that BubbleUPnP was then able to display Track, Artist, Work and Composer - an ideal result for classical music.

Please, please tell me that this omission in the new version will be fixed asap....

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I knew it wouldn't be long until a classical music user would manifest....

Display of album and composer in Now Playing was not controlled by "Item height' but with separate options.

I'll see what I can do but I'm so tired of adding addional settings.

Note that I not totally forgot about classical music:

- all track titles, album names and artist fields in lists (Playlist, Library) can now extend on 2 lines

- in Library album lists, the composer is always displayed appended to the album artist (if present and different): "album artist" / "composer"
[Android Apps and Games] Chamelleon:
1. Right, I messed it with Power Amp cue support.

2. Polish glyphs in song titles. Tested on file managers and other music players and they displaying it correctly.

3. Twice on local renderer.
[Android Apps and Games] haggis999:
To be fair, I wasn't asking for "additional settings", just the preservation of features already implemented in the previous version. We classical music enthusiasts may be in the minority but we are a sizable minority and 400 years of music by composers from Albinoni to Zemlinksy is never going to disappear. In other words, you would not be wasting your time on a triviality :).

Another, much less important matter also caught my eye. Have you changed the 'Muted' icon? As far as I can remember, it used to be the commonly used icon of a loudspeaker with a diagonal slash. Now it is just a plain loudspeaker icon, whose meaning is not nearly as obvious.

[Android Apps and Games] Snowknight26:
I have the same issue. Certain covers don't show up, as if they're not being converted by BubbleUPnP Server. I'm using my Nexus 5 with Android 4.4.4.

The issue persists even after clearing the thumbnail cache. I've attached a couple of the JPGs to this post that don't seem to be converted.

As far as suggestions go:

The Exit and Settings buttons might look better if they match the style of the hamburger menus in other apps, such as Google Play Music:

We used to be able to change line height and other cosmetic things in the library view, meaning we could squeeze more information in on the screen. Prior to the visual update (the numbers are wrong but the point remains) 10 tracks could be seen at once, now it's 8. It would be nice to have that functionality again.

[Android Apps and Games] FF666:
Alright, I'm really stuck now. Somehow I now always get the setavtransporturi code 714 error when trying to play something to a openhome renderer. When choosing non-openhome it works flawless.

Also, am I supposed to see my media device with (bubble) attached? For example I have a diskstation and it only shows like that, not as (bubble). It does show (proxy) when I enable that in upnpserver. Connection is ok in test.

Edit... ok just after I typed this, it works again... figures.... I cleared playlist a few times and now it seems ok. Dont know what will happen when I add a big playlist..

Light themes

Hi,

first, is there any idea on this:

The streams however work on different renderes (e.g. local or on linn majik)?

second: when using the light themes the control buttons will not show up on "now playing" screen (only on Nexus 10, Andr. 4.4.4, on Nexus 4 it is fine).

Thanks

Bump?
[Android Apps and Games] rifmouk:
Hello,

The new version is very good but is it possible to have the option of resizing items in library list or better a thumbnail view of it ?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] toyotabedzrock:
Works good with my LG 42LM6200-UE. Looks like volume control works and I'm using Plex as the media source. It is even allowing the media server to save the playback position, which normally only happens when I use the Plex client on the TV and not the generic upnp client.

It doesn't seem to read the current position from the server and resume the video from that position. But manual seeking works great.

A little update, seeking does not work when the video is paused.
[Android Apps and Games] Quentinfk:
I'm not sure if this has been posted in this specific thread (I know it has been posted on the internet) but I'm having troubles with this app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (SM-P600). When I'm streaming to my Chromecast and I try to bring down the notification panel the device crashes saying that the process "com.process.systemui" has stopped working, This happens with Youtube too.

I contacted Samsung about it, but they were about as useful as a bag of sand in solving the issue.

Just figured this would be good to know for anyone else with the device.
[Android Apps and Games] madjo:
Ever since the update to 2.x I can't seem to get BubbleUPNP to support my Chromecast while using an UPNP server other than BubbleUPNP.

I have Mediatomb running on my machine, and with version 1.8.6 of the app I could play media on my Chromecast using Mediatomb as library. And that worked great.

But when I updated the BubbleUPNP app to 2.x it doesn't show the Chromecast in the renderers menu, when I use Mediatomb as the library.

Do we really need to use BubbleUPNP now to enable Chromecast support?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I cannot reproduce it on ny N10. Can you tell me exatly what settings you have in Settngs > Look And Feel and eventually post a screenshot of the Now Playing screen ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Difficult to say what is the problem as Google Play Services is a "black box" for the app, but it is likely Gingerbread specific (which mean you're using BubbleUPnP 1.x).

Make sure Google Play Services version is v5, and if not update to it manually (link to APK at end of post):

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...security-tools-android-wear-support-and-more/
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No but you can use ES File Explorer to browse SMB shares and send it to BubbleUPNP. This is practical only for videos.

SMB should be avoided whenever possible as it is inefficient and slow for streaming.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No, this option is not coming back. But there will be a grid view at some point.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's a Samsung specific issue that has also been reported in "Cast To UPnP/DLNA for GMusic".

Samsung made custom modifications to Android and it cause this crash in Android's code.

The app doesn't do anything wrong but does something that cause this crash.

The problem is that I have no idea what this 'something" could be and I have no Samsung device for testing, thus there is not workaround for now.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No, it should work as before. Next BubbleUPnP update may fix erratic Chromecast appearance as a device.

Light Themes on N10

After investigation in settings I found that -besides the light themes- the option "now playing color art" was activated and that caused the now playing screen to not show the control buttons (the buttons were there but only visible when pushing on them (so on pushdown the button appeared). With this option deactivated the buttons are all right!

And... the phililps A5 wlan speaker problem I am having, is this a phillips incompatibility problem or might that be solved by bubble some day?

Thanks CS
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the report and images but I"m unable to reproduce it with these images assigned to an album managed by the local media server.

Can you confirm you observed this with albums managed by the local media server (or was it with Internet access with BubbleUPnP Server ?).

Tracking this issue will probably require making a debug build with more logging.

Item height: this option is gone, no plan to add it back

Settings / Exit buttons: I've added icons before the button text
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If these are shoutcast stream, try enabling Settings > Shoutcast > Force proxy.

Otherwise send me alog file playing a radio station (see first post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] schniesich:
I did not know that some of my "radio stations" are shoutcast, although bubble assigned the shoutcast icon to it. I did as you wrote (proxy) but no luck. The log-file is on it's way to you.

Does this also apply for the non shoutcast staions?

Thanks for taking care on this.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the log.

The stream you played in this log (Klassikradio Lounge) is indeed a Shoutcast stream and it must be proxied by BubbleUPnP to be playable on your Philips renderer as it doesn't support Shoutcast directly.

The problem is that when playing this item, BubbleUPnP doesn't detect it as a Shoutcast stream, thus doesn't proxy the stream and it doesn't play.

Can you tell me how you added the stream (and I suppose other streams) in that "WebRadio" saved playlist ?

Was it using Menu > Add Stream URL or clicking a link in a web browser (or any other third party app) and sending to BubbleUPnP.

With both methods, if BubbleUPnP identify it is a Shoutcast stream, it assigns Album = Shoutcast to the item, which flag it as a Shoutcast item. If you changed the Album value (with "Menu > Edit metadata") then the item is no longer recognized as a Shoutcast stream. To verify: 3 dots context menu on item > Show Metadata. It should display "Shoutcast" for "Album". If that's not the case, you can fix it by editing file Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp/playlists/WebRadio.dpl, setting "upnp:artist" to "Shoutcast" for each stream. You can also use "Menu > Edit metadata" on a stream in a Saved playlist to modify the Album value.

Non Shoutcast stream do not need proxying as they will be a straight mp3 or aac stream.

Premature end of queue

Using fully licensed BubbleUPnP on Samsung Galaxy S3, to access my D-Link NAS drive for music to stream to my Cambridge Audio NP-30 Sonata.

I can add an entire album to the queue on the S3 but no matter what I do it seems to play only 2 tracks each time and then the NP-30 streamer says it has come to the End of Queue - when it blatantly hasn't!

Using the S3 as a local renderer does not have this same problem

Using the NP-30's own control to access the music does not create the same problem

Therefore it seems to be an issue with BubbleUPnP not sending or communicating the full queue to the NP-30?

Need a solution to this please! Anyone got any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Tracks are sent one after each other. Try disabling Settings > UPnP Tweaks > Gapless control as it can mess up track advance with some renderers.
[Android Apps and Games] myvisione:
What I don't like in the new playlist is the fact that I barely see which track is played at the moment. There is this small arrow which is hardly to notice.

Is there a way to bring back the elapsed or remaining time in the playlist?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No plan for bringing back elapsed time but in the next version I'm made the playback indicator much more visible.
[Android Apps and Games] twiceaswide:
track times?

Hello,

I have upgraded BubbleUPnP to the new version with the modernized GUI. The new GUI looks very nice, though I have to get used to it a little bit more. What I really like is the much improved moving of tracks in the playlist that was a little bit buggy in older versions.

But I am missing the track times in the playlist and the library that were displayed there in the older version. I checked the prefs but cannot find an option to turn on the time display. Is there a way or is this a lost feature? Will it return in a next version again?

Thanks

shoutcast radio stream...

Hi, thanks for checking the log!

-the stream url's in that playlist file are all gathered from different places in the web and then saved as playlist with a 3rd party app.

-bubble upnp has detected some of the radio urls as shoutcast (see screenshot)

-the shoutcast proxy option was switched on during the log-file recording

-the album title for the klassik-lounge was changed manually by me (testing), but the other streams (with album=shoutcast) are not beeing played either.

-and the non shoutcast urls also do not play

Do you have any more suggestions on this? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Send me a new log playing a stream for which Album = Shoutcast.

Can spacing between lines be reduced, so that more lines are shown on a screen? I also suggest a grid of alphabet like in Windows Phone 8 to reach artists/folders/albums at the end of list much faster.

Device Discovery

I use Bubble on my Android Tab to access my local and Serviio Library and play locally or on my TV. I can also use ServiiGo to do the same but it can only accessthe Serviio Library and play locally on the Tab, so Bubble is preferred.

At home both apps "discover" Serviio at 192.168.1.10, but frequently I need to restart my router before that will work

This weekend I am at my son's home and neither app is discovering Serviio on my laptop at 192.168.2.22, and I cannot restart his router.

With ServiiGo on the Tab, I can manually add my Serviio server at 192.168.2.22 and restore access.

With Bubble, the add server option seems to be only for remote servers and adding 192.168.2.22 fails.

Is there a way to manually add an undiscovered local server? The added benefit once set up is that I will not have to restart my router when discovery fails.
[Android Apps and Games] cybermage1:
First I'll say i love your suite of apps. I've bought bubble for all three of our Androids in the family.

I wanted to pass on something I just figured out that's a problem with the Ubuntu packages offered in the PPA. Here's my setup:

Ubuntu 12.04 server w i7 and 16gb ram

Cabled directly to wifi router

Bubbleupnpserver running on it, getting media from minidlna on same box.

Bubble on Galaxy S4's and Nexus 7 2012 and 2013.

I found that nothing that needed transcoding to play on the Chromecast would actually transcode. Interestingly though, bitrate transcoding to mobile devices seemed to work just fine.

Turns out the static built ffprobe / ffmpeg are 32 bit. They ran, but they were unable to resolve DNS names on my system to get the media streams.

I fixed it by:

apt-get install ia32-libs

After that, everything that needs transcoding streams just fine to my Chromecasts.

Thank you for this information. I wonder if this is an Ubuntu specific bug...
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's no manually way to add servers but there's BubbleUPnP Server that allow to bypass discovery (on the LAN or the WAN) and/or create LAN media server proxies that have more chance to be reliably discovered.

A router that is unreliable with discovery is not a good thing. I would try to update its firmware just in case.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Noted.

If track times return it will be likely as part of the track's title.

I've been using Bubbleupnp for a while now streaming videos from Showbox via my Sony Xperia Z2 to my Sony Home theatre system.

However, since the latest update, I keep getting errors, either Action Timeout messages, or Action SetAVTransportURI failed (code 716) and nothing loads at all.

What might have changed all of a sudden that has meant I now get these errors? It was working fine beforehand, no issues at all?

First off Thanks to bubbleguuum and team for their great work now to my question I just got an Asustor 602T Nas and was wondering if anyone knew how to install the bubbleupnp server on it or if the was any plan to create an APK I see there is packages for Qnap and Synology understand if there's not but any help is greatly appreciated

Seems that I needed to uninstall and reinstall both UPnP and the Licence, as this seems to have now fixed the issue of stopping after 2 tracks - of course, this will have reset all my settings so it is possible that the Gapless Control setting has now been reset also. I will have a play and see if the problem returns or can be replicated.

Thanks for the reply though!
[Android Apps and Games] cybermage1:
Possibly, but I will say I don't

think

I had the issue until the last update to the server. I installed using the PPA linked on your site. It appears that the Precise repository there is distributing only 32 bit ffmpeg binaries, and the packages don't have a dependency listed for the ia32-libs. In fact looking at the way your PPA is configured, you only distribute a single architecture-independent release located at pool/main/b/bubbleupnpserver/bubbleupnpserver_0.8.2-1_all.deb so it makes sense that the 32 bit ffmpeg would be in there for compatibility, however this particular build of ffmpeg is still wanting some dynamic linked libraries for name resolution despite it being built as static.

I tried just symlink'ing the ffmpeg in my distro, but 12.04 is running a version that doesn't have some of the options you use. It'll be late next month before I look at moving to 14.04 after the first point release comes out.

I was able to reproduce the error by copying the ffprobe line from the logs and using it in the console and the error was definitely that there was a "system error" attempting to do name resolution on the URL. Installing ia32-libs was definitely the fix, but no amount of checking the ffmpeg binary shows that it is dynamically linked to anything.

I did however find the following thread that appears to be the cause:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/...

The TL: DR version is this: "Depending of what /etc/nsswitch.conf contains, libc uses different methods to resolve host names to ip addresses. So even the static libc has to load dynamically one of the /lib/libnss_*.so, for example /lib/libnss_files.so.2 and /lib/libnss_dns.so.2 if you have 'hosts: files dns' in nsswitch.conf."

So my suggestion: Either make the Ubuntu 64 bit distro version package depend on ia32-libs or build 64 bit versions of ffmpeg and ffprobe to distribute as appropriate. Me, I'm for the latter, but whatever works :D
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
+1 for 64bit binaries!

Thanks bubbleguuum. I've updated Google Play Services to 5.0.82, rebooted everything, and no change. BubbleUPNP is pretty much useless on that phone because of this. Again, note that other apps on that phone have no problem with casting, and on another phone where BubbleUPNP is working fine, Google Play Services is at version 4 there.

Beta code

I am confused about where to manually get the latest betas, and how to differentiate between beta versions. I don't want to sign up for play betas since I want to stay with the stable release until I'm happy with the new one.

Following the posted instructions I have downloaded from http...//bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnp/beta/BubbleUPnP.apk] however it has not changed since 6/20 (size remains at 8.04) , despite releases of V2 and V2.01 on google play since that time. So is there a beta after 2.0.1 and how do I identify each one when I test them for bug reporting purposes.

I am awaiting the "next beta" to test local subs on Samsung, but not sure where to find it since they don't work with 2.0.1
