Embedded subtitles that are stored as images (notably dvdsub) are not extracted, so that could be your missing subs.

The only way to have such subs show up would be to burn them in a transcoded video, which BubbleUPnP doesn't support currently.

There's not much point into extracting subs again and there's no easy way to do it for a single video, but you can reset all metadata about subtitles that BubbleUPnP built as you played videos by deleting the content of folder Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp/cache/ccsubs. This will force extraction again.

If you think that some sub should have been extracted but didn't you can send me the BubbleUPnPServer log file as explain in previous post (make sure to clear the ccsubs folder first to force extraction).
[Android Apps and Games] geecko:
I think there's a miscommunication. Let me explain this again. I am *not* using the BubbleUPnP server. I'm simply using some UPnP server called mediatomb (which also handles transcoding). The output I gave you before is from that server. Sorry if that was unclear.

So my question is this:

With:

- My mkv file, which contains subtitles, selected from my local library (mediatomb)

- My Chromecast as a renderer

- BubbleUPNP as my controller

Can I make the subtitles work *without* using the BubbleUPnP server? Just so it's clear, if I select "local renderer" instead of my chromecast, the subtitles work fine on my phone. However, when I use Chromecast as the renderer, the subtitle menu in the Action Bar says there are no subtitles available, which isn't true. The subtitles ARE being streamed. I know that since VLC for Android displays them.

Hope it's easier to understand now.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok, I get it.

It happens that mediatomb exposes a subtitle URL derived from the video stream URL:

http://..../mycoolmovie.mkv => http://..../mycoolmovie.srt.

That's the exception rather than the norm.

MX Player (and I suppose VLC) check for this derived subtitle URL.

BubbleUPnP doesn't and rely on the media server properly sending the subtitle URL (which most of the time is different than the one above) via upnp metadata. Serviio, Twonky and others do it. Mediatomb doesn't.

I will evaluate doing what MXPlayer is doing so it works with mediatomb, although no promise.

You may want to try Serviio as it will work without requiring BubbleUPnP Server.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
EDIT: the above may not be true, and instead MX Player and VLC probably simply extract the embedded subtitle from the video as they integrate everything that's needed to do it (full video framework). That's beyond the scope of BubbleUPnP which rely on BubbleUPnP Server (ffmpeg) to do it. No plan to do it differently.
[Android Apps and Games] geecko:
Given that the MKV from my server is being encoded (only the audio), re-muxed & streamed in real time by mediatomb+ffmpeg, I doubt VLC or MX Player could extract the subtitles.

Edit: Also the problem seems unrelated to mediatomb server. I tried using XBMC as the server and it doesn't solve the problem.

Visualisation / Visualization option for music?

Apologies if this has been covered, I searched first.

I'm new to Bubble & DLNA and still working out the kinks with it, but LOVING it so far, it's a game changer.

When playing audio on my TV, the screen displays a track number (1/1 i.e. not linked to playlist) and the album cover (IIRC) and song progress etc etc. It would be great to have a visualisation option. Does anyone know whether it's possible? I imagine the TV would have to be told the incoming stream was a movie, with the audio, plus video being the visualisation plugin, optionally with track info on top?

Hi.

I am relatively new to understanding the nature of how streaming theough upnp works.

At the moment i am only interested in playing music stored on my nexus 5 to airplay speakers on my home wifi. Is this possible? I have downloaded the app and have played around but cant seem to understand how to set it up. My apologies if its a dumb question. I am rooted if that is a requirement.

Thanks in advance!!

automatic play better bitrate

Hi,

I have stored some music both as mp3 and flac (mp3 to use it on flac-non-compatible devices).

Now when I listen to such an album with bubbleupnp, every song is played twice (mp3 and flac).

Is there a way, to say bubbleupnp, play the song with the better bitrate? Or: if there is no flac of that song, use mp3

Thank you very much
[Android Apps and Games] musicalsound:
Thanks for creating this superb software. Must be one of the best if not the best out there.

Would it be possible to output music to an external DAC (via USB) at full resolution? I've tried connecting a HERUS to my HTC M8 but I think BubbleUPnP down sample to 16/44.1 before outputting it. In addition, I can not control the volume on the HERUS.

This would be the killer app if it could be done!

Cheers!

[MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION]: I noticed my device got IPs for 192.168.1.0/24 and 10.0.0.0/8 while connected to Wlan. I've not configured the 10er IP, I think it's a leftover of my mobile connection.

Could be the reason the app does not find any Upnp servers?

How is it handled when multiple private networks are detected?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Normally no as UPnP device search requests are emitted on all local subnets.

If no device at all is detected, check if you do not use a firewall app that block UDP trafic on port 1900.

Also check if other UPnP/DLNA apps (such as UPnPlay) detect devices.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Currently, for local playback, all high res audio > 48Khz is converted to either 44 or 48KHz and 24 bits converted to 16 bits.

That's because the Android audio hardware does not support anything higher than 48/16.

In current Android, there's no way to query external DAC capabilities in term of max supported samplerate/bitdepth.

Although it seems they will be supported officially in Android 5.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You didn't tell what media server manage your FLAC and mp3 albums. If duplicated albums are stored in separate folders,

the only way would be to browse and play the desired folder.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP does not support Airplay.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's not possible unless your renderer (TV) has visualization features on its own (example: XBMC).

Hi

Thanks for the response, actually the device that i want to stream to is an Android tv box(himedia q5) that supports airplay inbuilt.

My hometheatre is connected to that TV box.

Is there any alternative way of achieving this.

Like running some service on my himedia and them streaming from my phone.

I dont mind hit and trial, just point me towards the right direction. :)

Installing bubbleupnp on the android box should do the trick.
[Android Apps and Games] shamps:
Hi.

Thanks for your input, so i should install bubbleupnp on my tv box.

Another question.

Then i will have to use my box to search the phone and access my phone's library and play the music?

Or i could also use the bubbleupnp player on my phone to play music on my tv box.

I hope i am being clear, i am looking to control playback from my phone and not on my tv box.

Thanks in advance!!

Cheers!!

bubbleguuum: I would first like to say thank you so much for all your hard work with regard to this app :good: :). It is amazing that it is free and yet so powerful. I have come upon one issue with the audio cast function and hope that you might be able to help. I can cast from Pandora and some apps without a problem to my Sonos system. This is a miracle and adds huge functionality to the Sonos system because I am no longer locked into using their controller. My problem is that for some reason certain apps like Tunein Radio, This American Life, and Public Radio International do connect and stream but the audio is distorted and slowed down to the point where it is almost unrecognizable. To be clear the sonos speakers do show up and they can connect but the audio is somehow half the speed it should be. Any help you may be able to offer would be greatly appreciated. - Tom
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the report. These are mono streams and AudioCast does not handle these properly which I just fixed.

Btw, Tunein is not supported by AudioCast which would stream silence if Tunein is playing.

dropouts within kitkat on lenovo yoga 10

Thanks for this great app - it works smooth on my old Archos 70b and on my new yoga 10 running jelly beans.

But after upgrading my yoga 10 onto the new kitkat release by lenovo, all music playback is distorted by dropouts all 20..30s. The same titles play fine if using Google play within kitkat. Thus I guess that something might be wrong with bubbleupnp and kitkat. I have sent to you already a logfile (but I don't discover any spurious error message wihtin that log).

I had some problems with other apps, too. But they all were resolved by an update of the app (problems with oruxmaps and google maps).

Hope somebody has a suggestion....
[Android Apps and Games] tdmoreno:
Thank you for the quick reply :):):):):):) and it is great to hear that you were able to fix the problem with mono streams. Does this mean that you will be including the fix in a future update? Just out of curiosity why would tune in not be supported?

I have a question about bubble server. I use it to play music to my sony BRD player without the need of my controller to be online during playback. However, I have noticed that if I stop and turn off my renderer the synology disk where bubble server is running will never stop and keeps the NAS awake. This does not happen if I stop playback with bubbleupnp. Is there no server side detection of the player being on / off and a possibility to stop trying to play music to the renderer that is already turned off?

Although a minor inconvenience it would be nice if I did not neccessarily have to startup bubbleupnp again just to stop playback.

Thanks

Hi,

I am new to BubbleUPnP Server and have put the new release on to my NAS (Buffalo Linkstation Mini LS-WSXL).

I am facing currently the following issues:

1)

When I add some script into /opt/etc/init.d/ which has the following command inside

cd /usr/local/BubbleUPnPServer/ ; sh launch.sh

and reboot my NAS, the server seems to start automatically but fo whatever reason the web config is completely empty (pls. see attached screenshot). When executing either my start script or the launch.sh manually, the server loads as it should.

2)

I cannot make ffmpeg transcoding work. Latest static build from official ffmpeg website (ffmpeg.static.32bit.2014-07-16.tar.gz) has been put into the BubbleUPnPServer folder. When I start the server via ./launch.sh, ffmpeg (and ffprobe) will be regocnized but not correctly (pls. see 2nd attached screenshot). What is my mistake or what do I have to do to make transcoding and ffmpeg work?
[Android Apps and Games] fozzibab:
The 0.8.3 update seems to have...broken, I guess, the server.

After updating to the 0.8.3 server build of Bubble UPnP...well I have no idea how to properly describe this.

The server is gone. The service is no longer running, and when I attempt to start one up all I get is a blank Cmd prompt window that closes itself after a few seconds. The server configuration shortcut keeps attempting to find "configure.url" but never does, and while video streams fine to my Chromecast through Bubble, audio doesn't.

Updating the server is the only thing I've done. So, are the previous versions available? I'll go back to the last build rather suffer a complete breakdown of the service.

Could this possibly be the result of my running the 32 bit server in a W7 64 environment? According to the Google+ post for this release, the 64 bit version wasn't release due to Java's misuse of RAM.

Addition: My upnp-servers which buubleupnp cant find are on my pc and on my wlan-router, so my android device is in the same subnet and can't find them. But if i'm using the bubbleupnp server they are all accessible - but only if the PC runs. So the upnp discover forks for the server

My Bluray player has never problems to detect it. Now i tested the BubbleUpnp Server, it can also see upnp devices.

As i wrote some pages before, my device gets sometime multiple private ips, like the 192.168.0.x + a 10.x.x.x. The 10.x.x.x seems to be a leftover of the mobile connection, there are no public ips used.

Maybe there's a problem with uninstalling or Java, difficult to say.

Can you check these points:

- do an uninstall if necessary (again)

- start the Windows task manager, click on the "Show processes from all users" button and check that there is not a lingering BubbleUPnPServer.exe process. If that the case, force kill it

- delete c:\Program Files (x86)\BubbleUPnPServer entirely if necessary in Explorer

- reinstall the 32-bit java JRE on the Oracle download page (choose Windows x86):

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1880261.html

- reinstall the 32-bit BubbleUPnP Server install 0.8.3 (not the 64-bit one that was shortly available if you got that)

If it still doesn't work, send me these files located in the install dir (bubbleguuum@free.fr):

- service.log

- BubbleUPnPServer.log.0 (if it exists)

Then after doing this, you can try doing the same with the v0.8.2 installer although I don't think it would work either as there is really

no difference with the other installer:

Hi,

okay, I had the same feeling on this.

However, I have downloaded the static binaries from ffmpeg website which were in the 32bit repository and they are for Linux Kernel 3.2.x and above. According to the info from command

my Kernel is v3.3x. So that shouldn't be the issue.

Could someone please share a working version of ffmpeg and ffprobe for Linux with Kernel 3.3.x, e.g. via Dropbox or similar?

That would be great because I am trying since days to make this ffmpeg work without any success :(
