Yes, it should work, assuming the Audio Cast Xposed module in BubbleUPnP can load correctly on your ROM (you can check in Settings > Audio Cast).

Then you'd use the Spotify app to play to Chromecast (via BubbleUPnP's Audio Cast). It will be a continuous WAV stream, thus there will be no loss of quality.

hi bubble!

as a user from the early times and all kinds of devices I have one question:

can I choose wlan over lan for advertising a renderer in an existing wlan network?

have a cheap hacked, rooted mediaplayer which has lan and wlan on board attached to my tv, and its working only with a plugged lan cable. BUT I'd like to use wlan.

is there a config option or known method to disable lan completely in android-so wlan would be choosen?

anyone with a similar prob?

thanx 4 Your wonderful sw! 2b2b
[Android Apps and Games] obsidianwings:
I am getting "audio cast not available. Reason: xposed module not enabled or load failed". It seems like I have everything installed right though.

Also I know when using audio cast you control it via the original app you are casting from, but is it at all possible to control it from bubbleupnp as well? Would come in handy as I have a tasker set up so I can control bubbleupnp with my screen off.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Did you enable the Xposed module in the Xposed Installer app ? Verify that it is enabled, and do a full reboot (not just a soft reboot).

What do you mean by Audio Cast control ? Turning it on/off ?
[Android Apps and Games] obsidianwings:
Thanks for the quick reply. It is enabled, I had rebooted twice but they were only soft reboots so I just tried a hard one and no difference.

Sorry, I probably didn't word my second question very well. When reading information about audio cast I have seen that you use whatever app you are casting the audio from (for example Spotify) to control it (stop, play, next, back etc). I was just wondering if it is also possible to use the bubbleupnp app itself to do this also? That tasker I have set up that I was referring to is so that I can go "next" and "back" in bubbleupnp with the screen off. Not a big deal anyway, was just wondering if it was possible, and since I can't check myself yet I thought I would ask.
[Android Apps and Games] obsidianwings:
I found the problem. I had it enabled in xposed installer, but not in xda labs. I guess the two were interfering with eachother. I'll be able to find out the answer to my other question myself now
[Android Apps and Games] dave1210android:
First off, I think this control point software is fantastic. Until recently, everything has been working flawlessly to control/stream TIDAL directly to my network enabled DAC. My DAC can display album artwork, and album art was displaying properly until recently. Album artwork from TIDAL displays as expected in the Bubble UPnP application, so I'm not sure why it is no longer streaming to/displaying on my DAC. I don't think I changed any settings in the app. Music plays, sounds great, but no album art. Any thoughts? Anyone else having a similar problem?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can use Tasker standard media control actions (play/pause/etc) to control the playing app (spotify in your case).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This is probably due to a recent change on how Tidal http servers serve images.

I see that it uses chunked encoding which is slightly unusual and may cause your renderer to fail loading the image.

If you wish, you can report it to the manufacturer giving them this url so they can test it:

http://images.osl.wimpmusic.com/im/im?w=600&h=600&albumid=57273408
[Android Apps and Games] obsidianwings:
Yeah I had a fiddle around with different apps yesterday once I had audio cast working. It all works great, and only takes a second to switch which player tasker controls when needed.

Now it's all working smoothly I will have to pick up the premium version.

Thanks again for the great app

Why does local render playback of shoutcast stations take so much time to actually start playing music?

On my LG G2 running CM13 it takes up to 6 seconds to start playing ElectricFM (MP3, 128kbps), and on my Alcatel V860 used as media renderer (Android gingerbread, Bubbleupnp v1.8.6) it takes up to 12 seconds!!

I want to use my old Alcatel with my speakers so I have a wireless stereo system, but this slowness is giving me second thoughts about doing so.

WaxRain's AirPlay/DLNA Receiver app works incredibly fast, however, music gets paused when I lock the screen on my stupid gingerbread phone (unless I previously interact with the menus to enable background playback BUT that setting has to be set manually every time I set this stupid phone as the media renderer on bubbleupnp from lg g2's side )

What can I do? Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
Is there an option to remember or prioritize servers and renderers? The app never seems to remember the last renderer, defaulting to Chromecast or local when I never use these with bubble.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The Android MediaPlayer API responsible of playing the stream does a lot of buffering before playing. I cannot change it. This is a problem for live streams such a Shoutcast. Most apps able to play shoutcast do not use MediaPlayer for playing it, but BubbleUPNP converts the Shoutcast stream into an http mp3 (or aac) stream, for compatibility with renderers.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The last renderer/server is made active on startup if discovered within 20s.
[Android Apps and Games] msssm:
How do apps like UNDOK switch the play mode, like for my Hama DIR3000 radio receiver it can switch from FM to DAB to Internetradio or Media-Player. For all the rest that is sending streaming jobs for Internet streams or file on the network share, BubbleUPnP does a far better job and I like to have one application for all devices in the DLNA cloud here. Is this mode switching part of DLNA or could be added to BubbleUPnP as a custom feature outside the DLNA standard?
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
I'd suggest that time window or a fixed default renderer should be user selectable, as it is not working properly for some DLNA receivers. After playing a 1 hour mp4 from my phone directly to my Samsung DLNA, I closed the app, played with phone for about 5 minutes and reopened the app and it had switched to Chromecast again. All this time, the TV remained on, so discovery should have been quicker (I know it did discover the TV because my TV always pops up a message when i start Bubble).
[Android Apps and Games] gabripranzo:
I tried to stream audio to my TV (I don't have the chromecast yet) and I got the message "action failed code 501" , while the TV shows an alert saying it can't play the file. I suppose it depends on the kind of file (probably it can play only video files), I'm I right?

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

If I look at the TV info shown in the renderer it says many audio formats are supported (wav, m4a, mp3 and many more), so I think I was wrong, there must be some different issue. It's a Lg webos 2 tv.

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

Or could it be due to my device which isn't able to stream audio? I have a galaxy note 8 running Android 4.4.4
[Android Apps and Games] gabripranzo:
Well, I found the solution ;)

I changed the audio cast setting, in audio format I switched from auto to wav and now it works like a charm!

I'm going to buy the bubbleupnp licence when I get my new chromecast, yeah!

Chromecast Audio Disappearing from Renderers

I'm using the latest upnp server on a windows machine and I've had an issue where my Chromecast Audio disappears from the list of available renderers. It generally disappears after a few hours.

Restarting the server generally doesn't fix the problem but rebooting the computer generally does. I'm sure the cast device is okay because I can access it from the Chromecast configuration app with no problems and its status light shows it connected. Any ideas on how I can debug the source of the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the report. It's indeed broken and I opened an issue for it on the youtube-dl bugtracker.

I expect it to be fixed within a few days.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Is your PC using a Wifi connection ?

You may want to check that your WiFi router firmware is up to date and update it if it is not.

You can also try rebooting your WiFi router.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
2.6.1 is the latest. The version on the Xposed repo is older and I will update it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP does not support device or manufacturer specific commands (which often are issued using a prorietary protocol that is not UPnP).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I should work in Poweramp, using regular hardware volume buttons (I just tested and it worked).

Maybe you have another Xposed module hooking volume buttons and getting in the way ?

What ROM are you using on that device ?

[Android Apps and Games] GloryUprising:
Ok. I got the most craziest bug.

When using foobar + bubbleupnp server + foo_out_upnp + CCA with newest firmware for 24bit flac files some of the time, I get white noise. But if I stop and play the SAME file multiple times, eventually it will play the file like normal.

When foobar switches to the next track, same issue: it may play like normal or I may get white noise.

The white noise is 'different' each time.

I made sure all the firmware and everything is up to date.

This only happens with foobar. When I try the same files on the same network/server with BubbleUPNP on my Nexus 6p no issues.
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
Not to belabor the point, but is there any way to force Bubble to default to a certain renderer? I never use Chromecast, but it's always default. I can even watch a movie on my Samsung DLNA, stop Bubble but leave TV running, then restart Bubble and it's reverted to Chromecast. I understand that there is a 20 second discovery time, but that does not seem to be working properly when it forgets the renderer it used 5 minutes ago and is still running.
[Android Apps and Games] mcdanishdk:
I have experienced a lot of messages that the app could not verify the purchase of the license. My phone tells me that the app is installed but the licence can't be verifyed. I am on Marshmallow, is that the culprit?? A LOT of my apps are acting way different on my new Galaxy S7, running Marshmallow. I have BubbleUPNP 2.6.1 and version 1.4 of the license. Galaxy S7 and Marshmallow 6.0.1
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Likely the ****ty Samsung "Smart Manager" app getting in the way.

To fix it:

- start the Smart manager app

- go into the Battery section

- tap the "Detail..." button

- in the list exclude BubbleUPnP (both the main and license app) from any "Optimizations"
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If your TV is not discovered within 20s it is not a BubbleUPnP problem but a renderer or network (router, Android ROM) specific problem, with the discovery packets emitted by BubbleUPnP not reaching the TV or reaching the TV but the TV's response not reaching BubbleUPnP. Independently of that most devices broadcast their presence at regular interval ranging from 1 min to 15 mins, hence some devices still being discovered at random times if the initial search did not work.

As a workaround you can exclude renderers from being listed in BubbleUPnP. You will have to enable the Devices tab in Settings > Look And feel > Bottom Tabs. Once you have the Device tab, you can mark a device hidden with its 3-dot menu, then effectively hide devices with Filter > Hide hidden.

Hidden devices will never be auto-selected as renderers. But this solution does nothing for your TV to be discovered faster, which again is not something that can be fixed in BubbleUPnP. For that, you may want to check that your TV and router firmware are up to date (and upgrade if not), and reboot your WiFi router.
[Android Apps and Games] mcdanishdk:

Is there any way or chance to force the bubble server proxy to a certain transcoding setting directly ?

Background: Running Kodi on the local desktop but my ("old") samsung tv doesnt like most of the files.

Of course it works smoothly with universal media server and its profiles.

But the uber-solution would be to use my kodi and bubble server just sits in as a transcoding proxy when choosing its proxy upnp server on the tv.

i hope my explanation was understandable ;)

all the answers i found here and in the FAQs are involving android bubble

thanks and keep up the good work !
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP Server is not a general purpose transcoder for videos. You need a media server with transcode ability and profiles such as UMS, Serviio (recommended) or Twonky.

Google Music stopped working / playing

Hi Bubbleguuum,

I used the licenced version for quite some time now. This seemed to be the only app allowing to play my Google Music content to my Yamaha RX-475 AV-receiver. Worked great until a few days/weeks ago.

I cannot play any song from Google Music anymore, not even locally on the tablet (Nexus 10).

Browsing the library works, but the songs won't start playing. The stay at 0:00s.

This is what I've tried so far:

- revoke access in the settings: Says "revocek access successfully", but doesn't seem to help

- sync lybrary: takes forever and no help so far

- reinstalling the main app and the licence app

- activate "use proxy"

- disabled gaples control and gapless playback

Playing local content from the tablet works (both local playback, as well as streaming to the AVR!). It seems to be a specific issue with the Google Music access...

Any Ideas?

Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] rikksa:
Yes, the PC is using a Wifi connection. I updated router firmware but the problem persists. Does/can it log network activity that might help to figure out why this is happening? Bubble is an amazing solution for bridging JRiver and Chromecast when it works.

Media link extraction does not work with every web page in existence. The fact that it ends with 'mkv' is not a guarantee of success.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's been no change in scrollbar behaviour in the last version.

The scrollbar should shortly autohide when not scrolling (if that's not the case, let me know).

When it is visible, it has a touch area larger than the visible scrubber. It overlaps the 3-dot button and

if you tap that area, it will scroll. This is expected and how the Android fast scroller works and I cannot change it, unless wasting

some precious horizontal space which I do not want to do.

You need to install Oracle Java 8 update 77. The OpenJDK Java 7 won't cut it.
