Server Expired

Hi i bought the payed for version of the app a few days ago and so far its working well, but the reason i bought it in the first place was so i can stream with out the 30 mins wait time using your server, well the server expired and i installed the update, i uninstalled, then installed the update, uninstalled then restarted, deleted any remaining folders, then installed it, well the web page keeps telling me im using 0.3 beta. even when clicking the download button the the server config page or from bubbleguuum.free.fr/upnpserver/ i cant get it to work. any help or info would be greatly appreciated and thank you for your time.

Can you try with v1.2.2p8 beta if you didn't ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Fixed, thanks for reporting.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I wonder if your web browser is really downloading the new version and not using the previous cached download instead. Assuming you used the Window Installer, can you check with Explorer that the file size of c:\Program Files (x86)\BubbleUPnP Server\BubbleUPnPServer.jar is 6750942 bytes ? If not, you have the older version installed.

What is your web browser ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I can't see a reason for that to happen...

Can you record a log with the beta as explained in the first post of this topic ? A second log with the Market version would also be great so I can compare.

Thanks!

Isn't there on the Marantz a repeat toggle that would be on ? Otherwise I cannot see why it would repeat the same song unless it is a Marantz bug (the app certainly doesn't instruct it to play the same song).

Hi,

The repeat toggle isn't on.

If I use the Marrantz remote to select an album folder from the twonky server, it will play through the whole album from start to finnish.

Thanks for trying.

Does it work if you control it with WMP ?
[Android Apps and Games] uschimator:
tested your beta 1.2.2b8

playback via WMP and Win7 library seems to work now!

playback via local renderer and Win7 lib hangs at each track at time 0:0.

Possibility to control the video playback speed

Hello,

Your program made ​​me very happy.

So far I have found one thing that I miss, and it'd help me.

Often use program for playing recorded TV shows from my DVR. These videos contain the beginning and middle of the ads that I need something simple rewind, but with the little slider it is quite impractical.

It would be possible to control the video playback speed to fast, or be able to quickly scroll by moving somewhere above the slider, such as for example in MX Player?

Thanks and good luck in the new year

(P.S. - sorry for my english, i use google translator :)

BubbleDS and radio

Hi BubbleGum,

I have just bought a copy of BubbleDS with the hope of using it to control my Raspberry Pi devices that are running PeteManchester's MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer is a Java-based OpenHome renderer which supports radio, among other OpenHome features.

In general BubbleDS works very well with MediaPlayer. Pete has fixed a couple of issues with playlists and BubbleDS is now very pleasant to use with MediaPlayer.

The main reason I would like to use BubbleDS instead of BubbleUPnP is so that I can use internet radio stations which can be configured in MediaPlayer. As Pete explained here on the MinimServer forum (I can't post the URL here but please search for this topic: "Let's brainstorm..Setting up MinimServer to feed a USB DAC"), he has hardcoded the protocol-info for the stations to get them to work, however a proper fix is needed (setting the protocol-info dynamically) which he hasn't had the chance to do yet. This means that for some stations I still get an error when I try to play them.

For example, with Radio NZ Concert, URL:

mmsh://streaming.radionz.co.nz/concert-mbr?MSWWExt=.asf

I get this error from BubbleDS: "Track 'Radio New Zealand Concert' is not playable: no streaming URL available. If this item is from WMP, it is a known WMP issue with non native WMP media types like MKV. (try disabling the 'Mime-type check' in Settings -> UPnP Tweaks"

The problem is that BubbbleDS doesn't seem to have a 'Mime-type check' setting in UPnP Tweaks. Would you be able to port this from BubbleUPnP?

(Note; the above radio station works fine when I start it from Kinsky so I do have all codecs installed on the Raspberry Pi.)

Thanks!

1. Downloads are not working on Android 2.x in 1.7.6.1. This is fixed in the latest beta.

2. You cannot turn off the local media server anymore since a few versions as it is a core component of the app but you can hide it from the list (in Device tab, long-click on local mediaserver > hide, then select Filter > Not Hidden)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Playing to what renderer ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, the mime-type option is missing in BubbleDS as this error is not supposed to happen on a real Linn DS.

I'll look into this issue but I have no plan to make a new BubbleDS release soon.

Try this URL in MediaPlayer instead, it might work:

http://streaming.radionz.co.nz/concert-mbr

Bubble UPNP server on RPi - issues with parallel ffmpeg transcoding processes

Hi,

I've managed to get Bubble UPNP server running on an RPi running OpenELEC, which included cross-compiling of ffmpeg for transcoding. Transcoding works great (and I love it for when being not at home to listen to my music). However, unfortunately, two parallel ffmpeg transcoding processes are started for the first two songs in the playlist, which, due to the limited CPU on the RPi, results in pauses when listening all 5 second for the first song, to wait for the transcoding process to progress sufficiently, which is of course quite annoying.

Is there a way to control the maximum number of parallel ffmpeg processes that are started for transcoding the songs in a playlist?

I've tried -XX:+PrintCommandLineFlags, but didn't find any options. I also googled whether this might be an ffmpeg topic, but couldn't find out.
[Android Apps and Games] koruptyg:
I very much appreciate your help but I cannot figure how a full MD5Sum is performed, that would take a while for each file no? Generating md5sum of just Riddick took me about 15 seconds (4gb file) and BubbleUPNP serves the URLs as soon as it is started. That is why I thought that maybe Bubbled didn't use a full md5sum but rather a custom function to retrieve some arbitrary data to be hashed (maybe URL, file info, first part of file data) with md5.

I'll try to investigate some more and update. When I decompiled the server I found some sections where md5.digest was used. The digest value was updated 3 times with byte arrays, I suspect this could be where it calculates the url for the Bubble stream, it is how ever a distant guess. I'll paste the code later when I find it again, going to relax for now.

I'm sorry if I seem thick headed or ask a lot of questions brother. I know you didn't intend for the server to be used this way but it would in deed increase the usability of my streaming solution. I appreciate your help trying to point me in the right direction.

Best regards

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There should be only 1 ffmpeg process, unless you have enabled gapless playback for the local renderer in Android BubbleUPnP.

Disabling gapless playback should workaround the problem (Settings > Local renderer > gapless playback).

Another solution could be to compile ffmpeg with libshine for mp3 encoding instead of libmp3lame. It uses much less CPU.

If you go that route do not compile with both libshine and libmp3lame.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is md5sum on the XBMC streaming URL, not on the content pointed by this URL. For example: md5sum("http://1.2.3.4/some/path/blargh.mp3"). So it is instant.
[Android Apps and Games] koruptyg:
Thank you a lot brother, got it fixed. Somehow I wasn't receiving the full URL from my XBMC instance when browsing through foobar2000.

If I checked the URL of the XBMC served file in foobar it was "hxxp://192.168.0.111:1837/%/2EC2591C44F7E0FAB44B446D467187B8/Riddick%20(2013).mkv". I was trying to hash this so that is why it didn't work. I then browsed through WMP and I then got "hxxp://192.168.0.111:1837/%25/2EC2591C44F7E0FAB44B446D467187B8/Riddick%2520(2013).mkv". Hashing the latter will give you the filename for the file being served through Bubble, i.e. hxxp://PUBLICADD:58050/stream/video/e5467feb968d335479d36b9cbbce1686.mkv

Thank you brother, I'll send you a little link when I'm done if you are interested. Great support for some really ****ed up questions, thank you:)

[Android Apps and Games] juliatan:
Thanks for reply.

I prefer smb and Dlna over UPnP, because I don't want PC's and mediaservers running all the time only for acces media while it is possible without and much more simple via Smb on in my case a WDTV Live. Also in standby I can play every media from to WDTV connected drives on Android devices.

Using UPnP on Android devices to acces with WDTV Live and my Samsung smart TV I don't mind. But the other way around needs always running computers.

But perhaps there is an other solution?

I've just tested gapless playback with an openhome renderer of my Denon device and it works flawlessly! Many thanks for this update which puts BubbleUPnP Server on a even higher level again!
[Android Apps and Games] Philosoma:
I recently purchased your awesome app after it made Peppa Pig magically appear on the TV from my NAS by accident. I didn't even know it could do it this way, well impressed.

My plan was to get it to do the same to my tablet (Nexus 7 '13). I tinkered and tinkered, but it would never appear in the device list. Strangely it did appear while having them on a friends WiFi, and through testing other WiFi networks including WiFi hotspot on the phone. It never appears on my home wifi (an Asus N55U) which must be the problem. Only thing that baffles me is other devices like TV, XBMC, NAS and shares all appear fine.

All devices are on a static IPs. Have tinkered with a few settings but is nothing obvious. Any ideas? Thanks!

I noticed that with the latest BubbleUPnP beta the repeat-symbol in the Now Playing tab is always highlighted, even when repeat is turned off (at least when controlling an OpenHome renderer).
[Android Apps and Games] koruptyg:
Now its working good enough. Only problem seems to be that I cant play the transcoded formats with HTML5 <video>. I suspect that this is due to the audio (don't think <video> can play MP3), so currently if I'm using the transcoded stream, I'll load the VLC plugin and it works fine.

I'm a bit curious though, how many options do we have when transcoding? Can we supply args/profiles to the web server through parameters or for my case, specify not to transcode audio?

Best regards

I successfully tested gapless support offered by new version of BubbleUPnP Server on the following two renderers: Simaudio Moon Mind 180D (can also be embedded in the Moon 380D), and Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 (with latest firmware upgrade applied), using following three OpenHome capable control points : BubbleUPnP (on Android), Kinsky and Lumin (on IOS). All is working fine.

Many, many thanks for this brilliant feature!

It would be very helpfull I think if other users could report about success/failure of gapless playback on the renderer-control point setup they use. I know it is not that easy to find a combination that works well. I am glad to see that mine works very well!

BubbleDS and internet radio

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. BubbleDS lets this new URL through but there are some complications that stem from the backends used by MediaPlayer for the actual streaming/playback (mpd and mplayer are the supported backends). I need to look into some of these problems to figure out what I can do. Ideally I would like to use mpd because it handles gapless so nicely and it's very responsive but Pete pointed out that MediaPlayer needs to do a lot of work to parse the URLs as mpd does not accept the raw URL as they are.

If you can think of an easy solution in BubbleDS for the long term that would open up more options for the renderers it would be great. But if it's too much work, no problem. I understand that BubbleDS was designed to work with Linn devices only.

As an alternative I will experiment with putting the radio stations in a playlist on the server (MinimServer in my case) and using BubbleUPnP to open the radio stations. I will let you know my findings. Would you recommend this approach (over using BubbleDS and radio stations stored on the renderer)?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] dark0shark:
Since the last Beta versions the Renderers on my iPod touch are not detected anymore. These are Arkuda ArkMC lite and Arkuda MyAudioStream (brandnew). Before they where always detected. Kinsky by Linn shows them on my Windows PC, so I guess something turned wrong in the last betas.

Playing to local renderer on a nexus 5. And in now playing appear lpcm instead of flac.
[Android Apps and Games] motskuh:
Hello bubbleguuum,

First of all: what a great app! I use it on my tablet in combination with my XBMC HTPC, works great.

But here comes my problem where I cannot find any answer:

Use case:

pictures locally on my tablet, want to show selected pictures on my TV (via XBMC) while browsing through the library.

Problem:

every time I tap on a picture in the library it is shown on my TV (exactly what I want) and shown on my tablet (I don't want that). To get back to the library I have to push the back button and this stops the playback at XBMC, too.

The only workaround for me is to enqueue the pictures I want, go to the "Now Playing" tab, go to the next picture and then back to the library.

Is there any way to prevent BubbleUPnP from showing pictures locally?

Thanks in advance,

motskuh
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Well spotted. Will fix. This only happen with OpenHome renderers.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the report. I have added a list of working gapless renderers to the documentation.

Whether OpenHome gapless work or not is independent of the OpenHome control point used as gapless control is entirely managed by BubbleUPnP Server (unlike gapless control of regular renderers which depends on the control point).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Great! thanks for the report.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I need to modify BubbleDS for this to work but no promise when.

It will only work if the target renderer accept to play http://streaming.radionz.co.nz/concert-mbr, detects it is an ASX playlist and handle the URL it contains using the mms protocol. foobar2000 and vlc do this and from what you say mplayer does too.

This stream is only problematic because it is a mms stream. And unfortunately there is no alternate stream for this radio station.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Not necessarily. The beta did not change anything discovery related. First try to reboot your router to check if it fixes the problem. If it doesn't, check if other upnp apps discover your devices.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It means your media server is transcoding flac to lpcm. Normally, lpcm should play.

It is probable there is some trouble with your media server serving that lpcm stream.

If you wish you can send me a log file playing a flac track (see first post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is expected behaviour that when you tap an image in Library, it starts the fullscreen image viewer with the list of all images contained in the folder you where, displaying images on your Android device and an external renderer if active. If you need to build a list of images from different folders, enqueue them in the Playlist tab then to display them on your TV either click an image in the Playlist tab to start the fullscreen controller or use the Now Playing screen for the same purpose but with a different interface.

[Android Apps and Games] motskuh:
Thanks for your quck answer, but your proposal does not meet my use case. I don't know the playlist before starting the "show". Maybe my use case is a little bit strange but I am sure it is useful. Let me clarify it with an example:

You have been on a trip with some friends and back home again you want to "review" the best moments of the trip. So you just plug in the sd card of your camera, browse through all pictures, see one that is great and you want to show your friends, so you beam it to the TV. While the others are watching you are looking for the next one. In that case the fullscreen controller is of no use.

Wow, you were right. After rebooting the router (Speedport W 724V) the renderer on my iPod touch was discovered again. How can this happen? The iPod itself was online and connecting to Internet by WiFi, no problem with that. Thanks for advice. :good:

BTW: If you find some time, it would be great if you could test the app from Arkuda, because cover art (embedded in mp3 and Folder.jpg) is never shown on the iPod. I guess it is their problem, but they said it should show up (I use MinimServer on a Synology NAS and BubbleUPNP as a controller).

More FFmpeg options on the roadmap?

I just wanted to ask if more FFmpeg options are on the road map. Seems like a small re-write of the servlet so that we could override -vcodec and -acodec through quries would open up the application usage immensely. This way you are giving advance users full control over the stream quality and still keep the simplicity for regular users. I'd be happy to patch this specific thing if there is any interested, obviously wouldn't require the full source, just one file since I know its not OS.

I myself am specially interested in overriding the audio settings with something other than libmp3lame, this so I don't have to use a plugin to stream transcoded content on the web. I have no clue if that actually is my problem but I suspect that HTML5 <video> can't play mp3.

If you have BubbleUPNP Server installed on something else than Windows, you can create a shell script called ffmpeg, executable, and that is in the PATH before the real ffmpeg executable. Then BubbleUPNP Server will call that ffmpeg script instead of real ffmpeg executable, with all the arguments.

In you script, extract the streaming URL which will be after the -i ffmpeg parameter :

ffmpeg .... -i <url> ...

then launch the real ffmpeg with the arguments you want for your transcode.

If there's no -i parameter, make sure to launch the real ffmpeg with the original arguments ($*)

It's a known bug of this dongle: the dongle's hardware resets itself to 100% volume on track end. You best bet is to leave it at 100% and control volume on the amp or TV it is connected to.

The app does indeed not work too well for this usage scenario without having to go back and forth the Now Playing and Library tabs for each image.

I could add a different mode that if you tap an image in Library it displays it on the current renderer (without starting the full screen viewer), but no promise.

I mainly use BubbleUPnP as control point and it has worked extremely well in such role in the past, however I am facing a battery drain problem with current version.

It seems that local media server is always running and prevents my phone from entering deep sleep mode. I remember that there was a check box "Enable" in Local Media Server settings, however it is missing in current version and I can't disable Local Media Server now. Disabling Local Media Server allowed my phone to sit around 70% of time in deep sleep while Bubble UPnP was still doing its job (i.e. advancing tracks) as control point with screen off.

Can you restore this option (ability to disable local media server) in future version?
