Bugs

Hey all, just checking in to see if anyone else is having trouble with the most recent server update (Sep 12th). I am running Win 7 and have had no problems until earlier when my server stopped responding. Rebooted, re-installed thrice and troubleshot as much as a could to no avail. The server just doesn't pull up any of my network info, no ip's or server availabilities at all its like a blank slate. Nothing on my network has changed so I don't know what the problem is. Lemme know if im not the only one. otherwise I have to diagnose by myself to find fix.

The zip installer works but no FF encode....

Could be a broken automatic JRE (Java) update. It is known to sometime lead to an unusuable JRE.

Have a look at file service.log in the install dir. If you see a message along the line that Java cannot be found this is it.

You can reinstall Java from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7u7-downloads-1836441.html (the 32 bits version, this is important!)

I believe there's been some report of using dvbviewer. Not sure with which hardware though.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
For video transcoding you definitely want a Media Server like Serviio that is specialized in video transcoding. It comes with a number of preset profiles for various TVs and should do the right thing out of the box.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Not yet but probably in a future version but it will require Android 4.1+

Flac not supported

Hi, sorry for my bad english :o

I have new problem with reading flac. i have this message "Format not supported for playback (code 704)". What does it means ? It's from bubbleUPnP ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
On what renderer are you playing this FLAC ?

A log file would help (see first post of this topic for instructions).

upnp search recommended linux server

Thank you for this great application, I really enjoy it ! :)

But for the moment my system doesn't support some of your great features I would really like to use :

- Library search

- Library shuffle

Reading this forum I have understood that these function are available in Bubble Upnp but that they also need to be supported by the Upnp server!

I a am currently running a Linux (Ubuntu 12.04) NAS server and I tried the following Upnp server implementation : uShare & MediaTomb but none of those support the required Upnp Search functionality.

So here is my question : Which Upnp server implementation would you recommended for a linux server system?

Thank you for your advices, :good:

Hi. My renderer is A.C.Ryan HD2 mini.

I send you logfile in attachment
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The log shows that your renderer does not support direct playback of FLAC.

However it claims to supports LPCM (similar to WAV) and BubbleUPnP instructs the renderer to play the LPCM stream generated by your NAS for this FLAC.

But the renderer does not like or recognize this stream and returns "Format Not Supported For Playback (code: 704)".
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Twonky has very good search capabilities. I think it runs on linux but it is a paying product.
[Android Apps and Games] alexinc:
hey bubbleguuum, is it possible to add the option to have bubbleupnp launch on android start? wanna try using it as media renderer on my ug802 and it would be the perfect solution to add this feature to my samsung ht-c without the need of first switching the tv on before streaming music to the audio system. :)

guess my cents would be sure yours after using discogs plugin for years now and bubbleupnp seems to be the next very helpful tool to me. ;)

cheers and thx!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Looks like you missed Settings > Local Renderer > Start on boot.

If you turn on that option to make a dedicated renderer that is always plugged to charger, you may want to disable Settings > Advanced > Kill on inactivity (othewise BubbleUpnP will kill itself after the specified delay of inactivity).

upnp not working, AGAIN.

UPNP NOT WORKING. please fix. Can't reach machine over internet.

Typical freeware, never works. I paid for this app! Please fix.
[Android Apps and Games] alexinc:
ahhh, i see! :) thx for replying. of course i didnt notice this option, as it was greyed out (free version)... ;)

i also managed to get your server running on my nas with twonky installed, but a standalone bubbleupnp-media server with the ability of choosing custom tags for using the power of foobar managed databases would still be a thing to dream of. :)
[Android Apps and Games] SorryGoFish:
You'll have to be more helpful than that! Send a log from the app (in advanced settings) and from the server. Be sure to say what server (and version) you're running, too. What does "can't reach machine" mean?

Be sure to read the first post, especially the "If something is not working..." part.

701 501

I really like your app but it doesn't really work with my current setup :(

Mobile: Galaxy Nexus with Jelly Bean

When I try to stream mp3s from my NAS (a FritzBox 7540) to my Blu Ray Player (Sony BDP-S390) I get the following error:

UPnP Action Stop failed before setAVTransportURIAction: Action Stop failed

(code: 701)

When I play titles from my mobile, only the first track in the playlist plays. When the player trys to start the next title, I get:

Action Play failed

(code: 501)

When I press play again the title will start.

Both errors are in the attached log.

With the Sony Network Audio Remote App it works - but your app is quite a lot better than the Sony App, so any help would be apreciated ;)

Kind regards,

Jens

Bugs

Followed the link but didnt see a 32 bit option. I am now trying to launch from within the programs file again and this time it gives me the "failed to find Java VM error" any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No idea why this Sony device is returning errors. I'm sure that Sony do though...

A few things to try:

- make sure the Sony device runs the latest firmware available for it

- reboot the Sony device to see if it makes things better (at least for a while)

- In advanced settings, enable "Use Eventing". If track advance do not work anymore, disable it.

- In advanced settings, set Renderer Polling Interval to 3000ms or 4000ms.

When doing tests make sure to reboot the Sony device to make sure it is in a clean state.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's it: your Java install is broken.

On the Oracle page I indicated the 32 bit version is named "Windows x86". Install it and you should be fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Snowknight26:
BubbleUPnP somehow kept playing when paused, causing the duration/current seek time to be way off.

No log because MTP is a disaster and BubbleUPnP overwrote the log when the startup service started after rebooting my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Very weird durations on first screenshot (more than 4h ?). Was it over a mobile connection with foo_upnp ?

Will be difficult to understand what happened if you cannot reproduce it...

artist vs album artist

Hi,

first of all: great software!

But after using your software for a while I wondered why I could not find some music tracks in my library by artist search.

I figured out that it seems that your software does not distinguish between "artist" and "album artist"

The metadata provided by my upnp server (minidlna) looks like this:

However, BubbleUPNP seems to ignoe the dc:creator field and take the upnp:artist field only.

Is it possible to fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] Snowknight26:
Another small artwork quirk. Notice the lack of artwork on in the notification tray.

Attached the log.

Next song doesn't start

Hello bubbleguuum!

First of all: You did a great job with this tool. Everything works fine but.....

If i'm playing a song from the playlist sometimes the next song doesn't start and sometimes the timebar doesn't work.

Nearly every 3rd song doesn't start (501 action play failed) and i have to start ist manually.

I searched a lot, but wasn't able to find the "working" answer to this question. Do you have an idea how to fix thes problem?

I'm using Windows Homeserver 2011 as storage, an Acer iconia tab 510 (android 4.0) as "remote control" and a sony blu-ray player BDP-S790 as target.

With my best regards

maxpayne884
[Android Apps and Games] Jeho:
Hey maxpayne8844,

I got similar problems with my Sony BDP S390 which uses a similar firmware as yours. DLNA Support seems to be broken for those players :( Still, it is quite odd that the Sony Media Remote App works. Maybe the problem is only minor and a fix would be quickly programmed?

Kind regards,

Jens
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Not sure why the artwork did not show (failed download ?), but it made me notice that the notifcation area did not use the thumbnail cache, which it now uses.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
In BubbleUPnP for *track* artist, dc:creator is used only as a fallback, if upnp:artist is not defined.

It would be better if MiniDLNA used:

<upnp:artist>ATB</dc:creator>
<upnp:artist role="AlbumArtist">Various Artists</upnp:artist>
[Android Apps and Games] remlap:
Quick question which I can't see to see for myself.

How can I get Bubble to sort by disc number and track number for multi CD albums?

All mp3s are tagged with disc numbers.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Snowknight26:
bubbleguuum, do you think it would be possible to make the previous track button start the current track from the beginning if the current playlist only has one track?
[Android Apps and Games] danger-rat:
Is there any way to synchronize playback on multiple devices? e.g. if I'm using my PC as a library and my Google TV as a renderer, it would be great to play a synchronized stream to my Android device in the garage also, so that I can walk through the house and hear the same music in multiple locations...
[Android Apps and Games] Jeho:
My 701 problem turned out to be an incompatibility with my NAS - still, I can only play one song at a time with a 501 error with my Sony BDP-S390 :( Is there any solution? I could supply a packet capture...
[Android Apps and Games] Tom23Ko:
Btw I have a question, not so much regarding the app, but for my technical understanding of how upnp does work:

If I use Bubble UPNP on my android device to stream media from a library to a renderer , is there a direct connection between library and renderer? Or is the data transferred from library to android and then from android to the renderer?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Unfortunately, disc number is not transmitted with UPnP. If your Media Server does not return tracks in the expected order, it is not possible to fix. As a workaround, you can create separate folders for each disc on your hard drive, instead of putting all the files in the same folder.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It would be possible. What about long click on previous button restarting current track instead ?

Note that you can already do that by stopping the track (long-click on play/pause button), then play.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No there's no way. UPnP AV does not provide a way to achieve proper synchronization between multiple renderers: they will be not synchonized with anything between 0-5s lag.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That would not explain why the http server of the Sony goes kaboom and deny all requests.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Streaming happens entirely between the renderer and the library (Media Server).

It is regular http streaming.

When playing an item, BubbleUPnP just tell the renderer what the http URL is, and to play it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
duplicate post.
[Android Apps and Games] remlap:
Yep that's what I've been doing, but been nice in album :)

Play all and start with tapped

'Play all and start with tapped'

Is it possible to add this tap-action?

Because often i want to play the whole list (e.g. with shuffle) but want to start with the tapped one.

Thank you,

Lars
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's an XBMC bug for which I must make a new release of BubbleUPnP Server to workaround it. In the meantime you can use the older 0.5.5.1 version: Windows installer (let me know if you need the non-Windows version).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'll look into it, although if I add it it will only be available as a configurable tap action.
[Android Apps and Games] ndcpower:
Thanks, that's what my intention was.

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

Is there an easy way to get quickly to the root of the current library? If there isn't, what about long pressing the library-button? Or maybe given an popup with library history. That's the way it's solved in upnplayer.

Thank you,

Lars
[Android Apps and Games] dlefevre:
I've been waiting for a workaround on this too... do you have a debian package for this version?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No easy way but I'll add one
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No debian package but here's v0.5.5.1 zip
[Android Apps and Games] Jeho:
I've got a suggestion that would help all the poor Sony users who get a 501 after every song - I noticed that Windows Media Player just starts the next item on the playlist if playback fails - so every second song plays correct :D How about a feature that just tries to start playback again if a 501 error occurres? Well, I know, it's actually a bug in Sony's firmware, but you would do some people a real big favour :)

Kind regards,

Jens
[Android Apps and Games] Boltergeist82:
Hi bubbleguuum,

can you recommend a media server (linux compatible) that transmits metadata as described above?

Thanks

Cache location

I just noticed that the new version on BubbleUPnP software allow you to store cached files by size. Is there somewhere in the app where I can tell BubbleUPnP to put all the cache to my ExtSdCard. this is where all my movies and music are located
[Android Apps and Games] schwurbel:
Feature Request: Volume percentage instead of absolute value

I am using BubbleUPnP on my Android phone as a remote control for various UPnP clients. Works great, thanks for that.

Some deveices have a volume range of 0 to 64, others from 0 to 100. When I switch to a different device volume is set to the absolute value on the previous device, which result in pretty loud or low playback on the new device. Would be better to set the volume in percent of the current maximum, i.e. 100% on a max 64 device will be 64, and switching to a max 100 device will set it the volume to 100. Should be rather easy to implement, shouldn't it?

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I am not sure I understand your issue, as BubleUPnP does not set volume when switching renderer. It just internally initialize volume to the value reported by the renderer.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Which cache are you referring ? The mobile Internet streaming cache ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This error is rather unusual with a WDTV live.

- make sure it is running the latest firmware. Old WDTV firmware were very buggy with UPnP

- reboot WDTV to see if it helps
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Try minimserver. You will find track artists from VA albums in the "All Artist" subtree.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I haven't tried it since I have no iThing, but if BubbleUPnP Server doesn't cache thumbnail requests from Songbook, the only explanation I have is that Songbook requests the full cover URL (instead of the proxy thumbnail URL) to generate the thumbnail directly from it. Full cover URLs are just forwarded transparently by BubbleUPnP Server to the target Media Server

You normally do not need to clear the cache if you update some covers, as cached tumbnails are pinned to the original file size from which they were generated. If it changes, a new cached thumbnail is generated replacing the old one. Otherwise, to clear it, just remove all files in the "cache" directory used by BubbleUPnP Server

The specified thumbnail size (160 by default) is not an exact size. It is a minimum size. For speed an memory consumption reasons in thumbnail generation, the exact size can be slightly higher but will never be higher than 2 * thumbnailSize (320).

About your issue about your ARM NAS not doing any caching anymore: send me the server's log file (bubbleguuum at free.fr), after browsing with a CP for which you know caching worked at some point (eg Kinsky Desktop).

Also send me the server's configuration.xml file.
[Android Apps and Games] Lazy Rich:
I did a reboot and a complete reset, nothing helped. Firmware upgrade says I already have the latest firmware installed. Strange thing...anything else I could try?

I started playing a transcoded track that BubbleUPnP said was fully cached (secondary progress bar was full), but about 2 minutes into the track playback stopped. I tried seeking to 143s (line 1095 in the log) but the track had to be re-streamed.

Is it possible that BubbleUPnP incorrectly showed the cached status?

Is that implying that since the Content-Length header wasn't sent for the untranscoded track (say FLAC in this case) caching won't be enabled for the transcoded track (MP3)?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Assuming you still use foo_upnp transcoding to mp3, there's no caching happening at all due to all streams falling in the error message you mentionned (no Content-length and not detected as BubbleUPnP Server transcodes).

I'll see if it can be changed so caching work in that specific case, but you should really disable foo_upnp transcoding and use BubbleUPnP Server transcoding instead.

Centos 6 java web access asking for a login

I have the same problem as reported before in April. I have installed Bubbleserver on a Centos 6 server using Java and when I try to login via the web browser it asks me for a login name and password. I have looked at the output and the only error I find is "java.net.BindException: Address already in use".

I have installed KOHA, various websites, Webmin and ispconfig, squirrelmail before and have never had this error, even using the java applets in webconfig.

PS I have bought your android app and it has gotta be the best app of its class, and has one of the best intuitive interfaces, GOOD WORK!

Here is the server output log:

I have replaced my ip address with my.domain.com
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This error (java.net.BindException: Address already in use) happen when something is already using port 58050 and 58051, probably an older BubbleUPnP Server instance. Find and kill that process and restart BubbleUPnP Server

Streaming stops after one song

Hi, I've been using your app (fully licensed) for several month on my Galaxy S2 without any problem. I mostly use the app as an upnp server to play mp3s from my phone via my internet radio (muvid ir-715). Suddenly it occurred that after playing one song my muvid stops and hangs up so that I have to disconnect it. That happens no matter which song it is. Skipping to the next song while one song is playing works fine. Just when one song is finished it's over. Do you have any idea what happened since the same thing worked fine for months?

Feature

A good feature would be an option to reset volume to first state when playlist ends (in my Samsung smartv, i have to set volume to 70+ for viewing a movie thru DLNA but only 20 - 30 for DVB-T). You could imagine what happens to me when playlist ends and tv changes source to DVB-T at 70+ volume level:eek:....

I use a WAN

That may be but I live in Brisbane, Australia and have a virtual server in Pennsylvania, USA.

I can install 6 kinds of linux with multiple versions available in 32 and 64 bit and have 15gb storage, 384mb ram

Cannot believe how cheap it is, US$3.99 a month.(with a coupon):good:

I'm unemployed at the moment so I'm just fooling around with virtual servers so this is not serious, just frustrating to solve.

The bubble app is brilliant, so I was thinking to setup a virtual server to access my stuff on the go.

Hello,

I have been occassionally using foo_upnp under windows and before a few days discovered I can play my fb2k library using this app wherever and whenever I like.

I have got some questions but before...

I am verry happy about the fact the app is fully accessible with some minor anoyances that I am not even considering to call issues. It is avesome. I can use it with android screen reading app called Talk back and I can perfectly play my remote library eventhough I am blind.

- Can this app play flac files? Is there a specific server profile for foo_upnp or do I need to create it my self? or Is the default profile fine? I have played a mix compilation which should be played back gaplessly. It's a flac file. I have realized foo_upnp converts to pcm and this app streams it with gaps over a lan. Or should I install bubble upnp server and use it along side foobar 2000 to make the experience better?

- As I am browsing the library technically speaking each item displayed on the screen either a folder or a song has an image to the left and text label to the right. Hopefully I am not mistaken , this is only a guess. The text label is read perfectly by my screen reading app however I think the image is always read as "Library item icon". Again this is only a guess but most likelly you have set content description on this image. And this text is not shown to the user. Can you remove this please? It would make handling lists for me and possibly other users relying on android accessibility support easier.

- On the now playing screen there are some controls I guess shuffle, repeat etc which are simple checkboxes. Maybe there are icons next to them making the user aware what they are doing. However for me this is not obvious and it would be nice if you can set content description on these controls. If a particular control is checked it has a button or a label next to it so this way I can check what the checkbox did but It would be more convenient to know what the particular control does before activating it if possible. Perhaps there are more like this throughout the app but I haven't noticed. I may post again with some more examples like this if I notice them.

Again this is avesome and I am most likelly going to buy a full version verry soon.
