Hi,

after playing a while with this nice app on my galaxy 7100 i've got two enhancements for the playlist view to make it more "party compatible":

#1

The song currently playing should be highlighted e.g. in green like the blue highlight the time you press the finger for more seconds. The little triangle in front of the playtime is hard to identify.

#2

I dont know how to move items in the playlist. Instead of getting a dialog after pressing the finger a while onto the tab it would be nice if i grab the item and can move it to anothet playlist position. Maybe add another item in the settings bar, to switch between those behaviours.

I guess more ideas will follow :-)

Kind Regards,

SPo.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Good suggestion. In the meantime you can locate the playing track with Menu > Show Playing. Alternatively you can enable option "Cursor follows playback" which ensure that the playing track is always visible when you enter the Playlist (and on auto-advance in playlist).

To move a track drag'n'd drop the cover of the track to the new position. You can also remove a track sliding the cover horizontally toward the right.

Any chance of adding WAN server access? And perhaps make it work on mobile networks?

I've seen apps do this before(upnplay for ex.), would be a great addition. So you can stream your local media collection to your cell wherever you are.

Forward local audio to upnp renderer

Hi Bubblegum,

Thanks for the great app, it works nicely with minidlna server and a Philips SLA5220 renderer.

I have a slightly off topic question: I'd like to stream internet radio to the upnp renderer, unfortunately I haven't found a radio app that does this. would it be possible to have bubbleupnp "forward" the local audio to a UPNP renderer?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Planned after 1.0 is out

Not possible at the moment. I'm not sure an app can capture the current audio output.

You best bet is to find a Media Server that expose internet radios or that let you create playlist with your own internet radios URLs.

Multiple renderer in scope?

Hi, really great job use the app on my galaxy 10.1 tab and on my galaxy s controlling my pioneer vx 70 av receiver. Files are stored on a netgear stora. Everything runs smoth as silk. just one question for product enhancement : is there a plan for multiroom control, currently its only possible to select one renderer, is it possible to stream to multiple renderes from one server where the bubble upnp is used to be the controller?

scrolling

Hi Mr. Bubble,

great app - the first working fine with my Synology and Soundbridge. :-)

For scrolling in large lists - like all albums (several 100) it would be helpful to switch to a fast scrolling mode - where only the first letter is selected. (Like e.g. im Contacts)

Seeking in Mpeg's ?

I can seek (ie skip ahead) mp4's, avi's, etc.

However I mostly watch MPG (dvdrips), and although they stream fine, I cannot skip ahead (aka seek), ff, nor rewind.

- The DLNA/UPNP server is my synology DS100j

- It does not work properly with UPNPlay either.

- I've tried Moboplayer, VideoPlayer, rockplayer lite

- It does seek,ff,rw when I test with xbmc player on my pc still using the synology source mpg.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If the goal is to have all the renderers play synched audio, then UPnP AV doesn't make this possible (ie you'd have anything between 0-4s lag between renderers because synchronization is inexistant)

There's already a relgular aphabetic fast scroller but it is available only when the folder is fully loaded. Or do you mean someting else like further splitting the folder in subfolders consisting of alphabetic letters ?

For videos it is the external player that controls seeking. It is probable that either these player do not support seek for this format when streamed by http or (less likely) the http server of the Media Server does not support seeking (in the form of returning the Accept-Ranges header)
[Android Apps and Games] sbliner:
Armed with this info..i tried one more Video Player "VPlayer" This one does indeed allow seeking of MPEG. Thanks Mr Gum...I will provide feedback to the MoboPlayer team! BTW great app.

great program and thank for makeing it

I have a 8000 modle samsung tv with wifi, WD TV live, 6TB seagate NAS and a WD world book 1TB plus a myth tv server and mac running tvmobi.. it is a show stopper when I pick a file from the PC or WD and tell it to play in the TV or WD box. I have yet to find a file that the program won't work with.

The only con is the seagate NAS dosnt work like it is sold, and everything sees it as a network share and no amount of seagate support would fix problem, it a firmware issue. so the app dosent see it. and I had a song on the tablet and couldn't find a way to tell it to play local file to the TV. might have missed a setting way or it just don't stream.

I was blown away when I could control volume on tv with app, was app switching will I noticed it.

The best upnp app I have found so far, if you could make it find network shares, maybe ip address log in with user name and password, then my 6TB NAS would be in the loop :)

I did get it to muti control, sent a file to the tv for the kids to watch and pulled a file to the tablet for me to watch at the same time.. thanks again for all the work and effort put into this, I can;t wait for the finsih product and hopes this give your good info, BTW, bluetooth eyboards suck to typeon, lags bites. >:) thats what I typed this wtih.

Suggestions

Been using the betas for the last couple of weeks and I must say i am Impressed. so far has worked flawlessly and integrates very well when used with XBMC running as a DLNA server (have a headless box/nas server that i have XBMC running on 24/7).

I use it mostly for local rendering of video and have been using rockplayer mostly without a hitch apart from multi part video files and iso's failing to play. Hopefully now that VLC is in beta and getting close to release we will see improvements on that side.

I have been using it on 4 different devices.

HTC Magic - Running one of the CM roms from here cant remember which. Tends to be a bit clunky and laggy but its an old device so who cares. Local rendering can be a *****.

HTC Desire HD - Various roms works flawlessly for local rendering. Always get "Resource not found (code 716)" whenever I try to render to my Samsung TV not that I try often as I have a dedicated xbmc box attached to that TV.

SGS - Wife phone she keeps uninstalling it :( INABITF?

Acer A500 - Local rendering only, works flawlessly, usual issues with rockplayer.

As it is the A500 that sees the majority of BubbleUPnP use there are a few things that I think would make the Honeycomb experience so much better.

I think library view needs a 2 pane setup up. Folders on the left and files on the right split 25/75. Also a Grid view would be absolutely fantastic, XBMC publishes Cover art/Thumbnails and I think this would look absolutely sweet. Being able to set the prefered rendering software within BUPnP instead of using the android default would be good too.

Excellent work so far. I look forward to future releases.
[Android Apps and Games] Edwrib:
Very nice app, much better than Samsung dlna.

Pls add to see local files or/and add local files to streaming library.

A music widget would be awesome too.

error message

I get an error message when i try to connect to a PC "Browse error Access denied. What is this refering to?

I have sharing alowed on the pc
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the detailed feedback

Code 716 would mean that the TV can't connect to the media server or that it doesn't like the streaming URL. Could also be something else, hard to know. DLNA TV can be super picky. Check that your TV can see the Media Server.

Multipane setup will not happen as it is at odd with the phone version and would be too much work to rewrite. Grid view for covers is in the todo list.

Local file streaming will be added at some point although not in the immediate future. Widget, maybe but not high priority.

Can you tell what Media Server you connect to, and the exact error message you get ?
[Android Apps and Games] dajoe:
Hey,

this really is a great app, using it on Galaxy S2 Cyanogenmod 7 Nigthlies.

1) The playlist is always sorted alphabetically. I would prefer to sort it by album and track number.

2) VPN / Proxy support would be really great. I imagine being able to browse and download from my music archive while on the move.

I'd gladly pay for this great app with these two features included.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the feedback.

1. Do you mean that when you browse folders in Library, some of them are sorted alphabetically while you expect track numbers ? Items in folders are listed by the app in whatever order the Media Server returns them. What happens is that most Media Servers (like Twonky) that allow browsing by directory structure will list items in filesystem order which most of the time is alphabetical. What is your Media Server ?

2. I'm working on it, making it easy to setup, network bandwidth efficient, secure, and working with plain old Internet (no need for VPN).
[Android Apps and Games] dajoe:
The media server is xbmc. When I select an album to play, the songs are sorted alphabetically in BlubbleUpnp's playlist. I am not sure about the list in the library but I think that it is sorted by track number.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thank fou for reporting. You are right, a timeout is still too low in 1.4, my bad (there will probably be a point release sometimes next week). However this timeout is much higher (30s) if you trigger Library Shuffle playback through the "Now Playing" screen (cycle through the shuffle modes), so you can try this.

However the Library Shuffle feature or Random track feature will not work too well if the Media Server is slow (several seconds) to respond to get a new shuffled track, in either modes. That can happen with some Media Servers that are slower the bigger the collection is (that points at database requests inneficiency on their side, hence prolonged CPU spikes).
[Android Apps and Games] SchlesiM:
Hi bubbleguuum,

i just installed your new version (1.4). And i LOVE it! One of my "most wanted" features ist the new ability to browse images. Great!

But unfortunately i have some issue with that function: all my images (jpg's with different size between 1.5 and aprox. 6 MBytes, delivered from my Twonkey Server 7.0.5) are displayed in a VERY low resolution. Looks like sizing up some lowres thumbnails to the screen, when using it on my Lenovo A1. This tablet is running on Android 2.3.4, and has a screen resolution of 1024x600 pixels, and the problem occurs still after trying using differnt densities (200 and the standard of 240 DPI).

When using BubbleUPnp on my mobile phone (Samsung Galaxy S+) all images are displayed just fine.

And here's another suggestion: it would be VERY useful, if it would be possible to delete entries directly from a saved playlist (saving it automaticaly using its current filename). And to add new entries to an existing saved playlist, when browsing the library (maybe using some dropdown list containing all existing saved playlists to choose from).

Anyway: keep up the good work! BubbleUPnp ist the ONLY DLNA-solution for Android devices. I'd love to see more features coming :).

Kind Regards,

Mario
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I will fix that in the upcoming 1.4.1 I hope to release tomorrow. I found out that Twonky (and WMP for that matter) send URLs for several resolutions (including thumbnails) and that the app might not pick the best.

On a side note, the image viewer has a nasty memory leak making the app crash, that I just fixed.

playlist editing sure can be improved
[Android Apps and Games] impulse101:
I installed the 1.4 update on my gnex and galaxy tab 10.1 and it works on gnex but not on the tab. It crashes when trying to open a video and says it's sending a report over

EDIT: I fixed it by changing ITEM TAP ACTION to Play Tapped Item. For some reason it was on PLAY ALL ITEMS and that was causing an instant crash....The odd thing is my Gnex still has it set to play all items but never crashes....
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I found out the cause of the crash. It will be fixed in the upcoming version, hopefully soon.
[Android Apps and Games] impulse101:
Thanks... The actual issue I found out was that I had to go to advance settings and check launch default player for local renderer even though I don't have default and now it works and let's me choose my player.. I thought it might have something to do with my andmade share app, but but I am glad you fixed it. Your app and your support is great!

Action Timeout when streaming video

I will probably be blasted for this as someone else has probably already done this but I could not find it... Anyway,

I had upnp working until it updated. I use ps3 media server. And basically just send videos/movies to the phone/tablet. Ever since the update, I can connect to the media server, I can select the avi I want. But I never get to select the local player. It gives me an "Action Timeout" and just sits there. I have played with the settings as best as my feble brain can handle.

Please, are there any suggestions I can try? I am going to try to uninstall and reinstall the app while I wait for an answer.

Thank you in advance =)

- Samantha

EDIT! Never mind! Reinstalling worked. Not sure why I had to but it worked perfectly the first time
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
v1.4.1 is released on Google Play.

It fixes a few nasty bugs of 1.4, notably launching the video player crashing.

Also the image viewer is improved (notably: fixed memory leak, pick appropriate image resolution).

I will not be able to respond to messages until Wednesday.
[Android Apps and Games] Madnys:
I'm trying to stream video over WiFi from my Windows Home Server (v1) to my Galaxy Tab (original 7", running Gingerbread), via BubbleUPnP to MoboPlayer.

For most every file I've tried so far, it works perfectly. However, BubbleUPnP doesn't list MKV files in the directories. It won't even show the directory if the MKV file is the only media file it contains.

The issue also shows up when I use my Nexus S (running ICS), so could it be something to do with Windows Home Server, or something like that?
[Android Apps and Games] SchlesiM:
Hi bubbleguuum,

i just tested your new 1.4.1 version: GREAT WORK! Now the new images gallery function works like charme. The images are displayed in an appropriate resolution on my Lenovo A1 (even with tweaked DPI settings). And in the library lists, there are thumbnails instead of the music note symbols shown in the last version.

Many, many thanks for your ultra-quick reaction! Keep up the good work!

Kind Regards

Hi Bubbleguum,

I can't manage to use the new included "coverflow" functionallity.

I tap on one of the little images on the left side in my library entries. But what happens is that I enter the folder instead.

Do I get something wrong?

One X wifi issue

Got a response from HTC on the one x issue - they do not support third party upnp applications. Needless to say I drove home it is not the apps that need supporting but the wifi implementation on the one x that needs to be fixed. They're not interested due to how the wifi is being used.

Ho-hum.

Questions

1. Is there a function where I can transcode videos and then later transfer them either wirelessly or by copying to the android device? I would like to have some videos resident on the android device for viewing vs transcoding them on the fly.

2. I'm using mythtv as the upnp server and can see the tv recordings and videos fine but I can't see music and photos. I'm not sure what else I need to do to get the music and photos working correctly.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] fp.ath.cx:
1. BubbleUPnP offers the possibility to download content from the media-server. If the media-server transcodes the media, you download the already transcoded content.

2. If music and photos are not displayed at all, it is likely an issue with the upnp-server. perhaps it is configured to serve just videos.

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

I don't know exactly what you mean - when I press the shuffle-button @"Now Playing", I can only switch between "Shuffle Playlist" and "Shuffle off". Should there be another Shuffle-Mode?

greetings,

airflow
[Android Apps and Games] davidbrooke:
Either I don't understand you or you don't understand me.....

I would like to transcode a video and then load it on the android device for viewing without using on the fly transcoding. I understand that I can download a video but it isn't transcoded...it is the original file size. I tried this out the other day. If I did something wrong please correct me.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] fp.ath.cx:
How have you tried to download the file? WIth the "download"-function in BubbleUPnP? If the file is transcoded correctly when you stream it, I would expect that you download the transcoded version when you download it there.

Addition: OK, I think i know what the problem is. I was thinking of a media-server which is configured to transcode certain media *always*. If it's only transcoding when the control-point requests it, it might not work when using the download-function. Perhaps you can configure your media-server to serve the transcoded version only?
[Android Apps and Games] davidbrooke:
The way I dwonload a file is.....I press and hold on the file and a menu is presented...I then select download....then the file starts downloading on the android device but it is the original file size.

From what I read....are you saying the video file needs to be watched fully (transcoded on the fly) then I download the transcoded file?
[Android Apps and Games] fp.ath.cx:
well... sorry for the confusion. i wanted to test it for you, but couldn't, as my nas has a too weak cpu where transcoding doesn't work properly. from my understanding, downloading vs. streaming isn't very much different, except for what the client does with the data (saving vs. playing). therefore i thought that you should get the transcoded file with "download". i noticed now that the control-point is able to choose the rate of transcoded data depending on various conditions (e.g. WLAN vs. UMTS), so it might be that this assumption was simply wrong - sorry, i can't help you out here. :(

Difficult from the screenshots to understand fully your issue.

I susspose that you expect track in screenshot #6 (accessed through BubbleUPnP Server) to play @ 320 Kbps instead of 128 Kbps (assuming the track on your Syno server is 320K) ?

Can you post the same screenshot for the same track but browsing the original Synology server on your LAN ?

EDIT: I just read your second post about it. It could well be the Syno media server telling wrongly BubbleUPnP that the track is 128K instead of 320K, which the screenshot I'm asking you will confirm.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It's still ready but I have no news from Qobuz to allow it. It requires a separate agreement than the Android app.

I you wish, you can write to Qobuz to express that you really want to see it.

Maybe one day, it will just happen, but I cannot say when (or if it will happen).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=1069819]baaabovka[/MENTION]

I'm assuming these are large photos taking several MB ? The orignal Chromecast is dead slow (the Chromecast 2 might be a bit better) at displaying pictures not in its native resolution (eg 720p). What's dead slow is the internal resizing it does, and the network transfer (even on a fast WiFi, it takes time).

You can look into installing BubbleUPnP Server, if possible on a fast machine. It will handle image resizing to the Chomecast's preferred resolution and will be must faster at that than the Chromecast. And it does it once (caching), so future loading is even faster. Note that this feature is not available via local transcoding, it requires BubbleUPnP Server.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=4464665]psikey[/MENTION]

TIDAL and Qobuz are not remotely browsable using BubbleUPnP as a media server. This is on purpose to avoid some possible abuse.

However, if the app you are using was an UPnP renderer, you would be able to play TIDAL to it. You may want to suggest it to its developer.

If you make your DVD player an OpenHome renderer, doesn't it appear in Android BubbleUPnP as such ?

Openhome playlist resumes automatically (and without me wanting it to)

Hello,

thank you for giving me the ability to stream TIDAL to my headless music server and control it remotely! I have a question, maybe it's answered before. Consider the following scenario:

Setup

- Windows 2012 headless server

- "JRiver" as Renderer

- "JRiver (OpenHome)" also as Renderer through Bubbleupnp Server

- Bubbble upnp Android device as Media Server/Control point.

- Another app (EOS for JRiver) to send music from my local hard drive to JRiver

Scenario

1. I send a TIDAL playlist to "JRiver (OpenHome)" with Bubble upnp

2. I stop the playback midway through the playlist having

3. I switch to the EOS app, and I send a local track to JRiver

4. I stop the playback from EOS

5. The previous "JRiver (OpenHome)" playlist automatically resumes playing from the next track where it stopped! Which is enervating.. If I stop playback from EOS, it goes on like a robot to the over-next track, etc.

How is this behaviour explained? Is there any workaround? May I suggest that there is an option for the playlist to empty upon Bubble upnp exit?

Thank you again!
