+1 to this, or at least something along the same lines. On Android 7 with dark theme enabled everywhere (except notifications as Android 7 does not support dark notification) selected items can be hard to discern from the background. The attached screenshot should demonstrate it, although the user feel may vary depending on brightness settings which would not be revealed by the screenshot.

I could reproduce this issue. It only happens on 8.0. Not on 8.1 and higher (of course my test device runs 8.1 so I never noticed).

I will see how I can fix it but in the meantime there is a workaround: disable

'Settings > Control > Exit (X) Button' and restart app if needed. You should see

proper color for text.

Ok, I'll make the selected background more visible.

Why they removing stop button? Do anyone know how to restart video since I cannot use stop button. I want to restart video to make local subtitle works on my video. Anyone can help me regarding this?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=7391492]crozac[/MENTION]

Long-press the Pause button in the Now Playing tab to Stop. Next update will show an explicit Snackbar message to inform about this, so it cannot be missed.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=9378815]Webtel[/MENTION]

This would require reading the dynamic track metadata that is in the Shoutcast stream. Not practical when reading to external renderers as it would require the stream to be read twice: once by the renderer for playback, once by BubbleUPnP to extract dynamic metadata. So dynamic metadata is not supported.
[Android Apps and Games] crozac:
Is there anyway to make the subtitle work without restarting the video? It will be so good if Bubbleupnp having this feature.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=7391492]crozac[/MENTION]

You can associate a subtitle to a video prior to playing it: 3-dot menu on video > opensubtitles.org.

Then if you play the video and have subs enabled it will play it directly with subs.
[Android Apps and Games] crozac:
It's work. Thank you very much. ??

Hi! I have a problem: BubbleUPnP can't play to foobar2000 renderer from Poweramp (it worked some time ago :confused:). Though it can stream from Transistor app (sometimes not from first try, even after BU restart it continues to show warning about PA, even if I closed PA by its [x]. But if I close PA from Task Manager, then no warnings from BU).

Got this warning popping up:

BubbleUPnP Audio cast: Poweramp: cannot play: failed to create resampler

Tried BubbleUPnP from Play, also from your site, result is same.

Xperia Z5C Nougat stock w/ GreenKernel, Magisk, Xposed + BubbleUPnP Xposed module.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=4849838]kryosan[/MENTION]

This surely happens because Poweramp use 64-bit native code (dynamic libraries) while the resampler for Audio Cast is 32-bit native code. This is incompatible. It also only happens if the track you play has a samplerate different than the Audio Cast samplerate which is hardcoded to 44100 Hz.

If you can get Poweramp to resample its audio to this samplerate (look in its settings if it has a resampler, I do not rememenber), it should work as the resampler in Audio Cast will not need to kick in.
[Android Apps and Games] kryosan:
Could you please add the option to bypass resampler? Wouldn't be better to offload resampling to foobar2000? Or there's complications on upnp streaming itself?

Thanks!

Some missing album names in library view sorted by year

Hi,

First of all, thanks for your extremely useful app (and the most responsive support). I use it literally every day.

I've noticed a bug in the new graphics update, which I would like to report. I'm using the library view that shows albums, with their cover art, two per row, sorted by year. For some albums, the album name is not shown (or perhaps it's hidden behind the image). I notice that it only happens for images that appear in the same row with a change of year (but only for some of them). In the example attached below, see the image in the same row with 1984 - the album name (and the other information) is not shown.

This is on an LG V30 running android 8.0.0 and version 3.0 of your app.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
it cannot be by passed: Audio Cast is fixed 44.1/16 PCM stream. If incoming audio is not that samplerate, it must be resampled.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thank you for the report, will look into it.

EDIT: confirming fixed in next udpate.
[Android Apps and Games] alonwa:
Excellent, thanks

bubbleupnp server behaviour on power loss/outage

I was curious if my following use case scenario is intended behaviour or a bug.

Upon a total power outage/failure at my premise the bubbleupnp server running on my ubuntu server comes back online but the 'Create a DLNA renderer' is not ticked/enabled under my chromecast audio. I must manually go to the web based bubbleupnp server configuration page and tick/enable the 'Create a DLNA renderer' setting.

This of course is not an ideal situation. Perhaps the devices aren't online when the server restarts? There are too many variables here but hopefully there is some solution instead of the dlna render simply disappearing? Manually have to fix this is a real pain.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Zayeen:
Does the app support a Webdav connection ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It doesn't. No plan to add support for it currently.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=5784648]minipretzel[/MENTION]

Weird as normally the 'Create a DLNA renderer' is saved to configuration file whenever you click it and remembered between BubbleUPnP Server runs. When this setting is enabled, it doesn't matter if the renderer is started before you start BubbleUPnP Server or after: the DLNA renderer is created/removed whenever the Chromecast Audio appears/disappear from the network.

Artist Sorting

Just a small niggle with otherwise great new design. In the 'Artist' menu scrolling down to a specific artist is no problem but when I go back the menu defaults back to the top rather than where I had scrolled to - pretty sure previous version just went back. This feature is useful if, say, I want to go through artist permutations starting 'Miles Davis' without having to keep scrolling down from top.

Hi,

There is a problem on latest Samsung devices with detection of services in local network. Tested both on S9 and Note 9.

Tested on both 2.9.4 and 3.0 with the same result. Is it a known issue?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=419992]andrzejeq[/MENTION]

Try to turn WiFi off then on. Or reboot the device. If not sufficient, try rebooting your WiFi router.
[Android Apps and Games] amigokin:
Great product. Happy paid user.

Two things:

1) The bar that indicates how many seconds or minutes had passed is very difficult to control in Samsung S devices because of the curved design. This bar is too close to the border and it's almost impossible to manipulate from or to the border if you want to jump to the first minutes of a long video.

2) You should add a jump 30 seconds back or toward buttons like Netflix does.

Thanks and congratulations!

BubbleUPnP Server, Chromecast and gapless

I have installed BubbleUPnP Server on my Synology DS1815+.

I am aware that BubbleUPnP Server does not support gapless playback to a Chromecast Audio, because the Chromecast Audio does not natively support gapless playback.

Would it be a possibility to add functionality to BubbleUPnP Server so that it sends the playlist to the Chromecast Audio as a continuous PCM stream (similar to how Philippe's CastBridge LMS Plugin works around the lack of gapless playback in Chromecast Audio)?

Thanks alot
[Android Apps and Games] bris28:
Hi bubbleguuum.

I've been using the app for a long time and think it's amazing. I also like the latest update very well.

Anyway, I have a few questions:

1. Is it possible to have "Years and Genres" displayed on the "Now Playing Screen" similar to the one on tablets.

2. Is it possible to move the "floating device chooser button" away from cover art in landscape mode.

3. When I use the app away from home, embedded cover art does not appear until the next track on the album starts or the screen has been updated. It appears that large images have easier to be shown right away.

When I'm on a Wi-Fi away from home, and I'm streaming to Chromecast, cover art does not appear on "Now Playing Screen." Is there a setting somewhere that can solve this problem?

Regards

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=4966645]amigokin[/MENTION]

1. Interesting as I was not aware of that. For precise seeking, there also the Now Playing > 3 dot menu > Seek to position. A media must be playing for that menu entry to be present.

2. It's already there: in the Now Playing tab, long-press the ''next track" or "prev-track" button while a video is playing to seek by +/- 30s.

Duration is configurable in Settings > Now Playing , and there is a setting ('Seek on tap') to invert the behavior of the button (tap seek, long-press go to next/prev item in Playlist).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=6428809]jacobacci[/MENTION]

It's possible and I've thought about doing it this but quite complicated to implement and make it reliable and seamless.

BubbleUPnP v3 has taken all my attention these past months, but I may look at this again in the future (no promise though).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=2320570]bris28[/MENTION]

1. No, but full metadata is just one tap away (tap the cover)

2. currently no but this may be improved (especially on tablets), although no promise

3. In both cases, what Library is holding the problematic track ?

Quick question:

I would like to be able to access my Kodi Library from home when I am outside my LAN. I already use Kodi's UPNP Library sharing functionality within my LAN, for example to continue playing a video in the bedroom exactly where I left of in the living room.

I understand I can install Bubbleupnpserver on my main Kodi device, make it available for Android Bubbleupnp, setup portforwarding in my router. Then install the Tether client (for example on a Raspberry Pi3 with OSMC that also runs Kodi) and access my home server Kodi Library remotely as if I am home.

But do I actually need the Tether Client to do this? Would Kodi not simply allow me to fill in the credentials of my BubbleUPNPserver?

Also, using this setup, would Bubbleupnp also sync the watched status and allow playback of subtitles?

Kodi UPNP Library sharing supports both, but that's ofcourse only within my LAN.

Btw I am not planning to do transcoding, for me internet is fast enough to stream the files without any transcoding.

I'm a paid user of this great app.

One query: With the latest version I notice that the notifications of my mobile obscures the album cover.

Is there a way (using settings perhaps?) to have the album cover to not use the very top of the screen?

How the previous version displayed the album cover worked better.

Thanks

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

Another problem (unless there's a setting I've missed?). While listening to an album and after playing a few tracks and I want to pause, the app has disappeared.

I have to start the app again
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=5341153]KraftwerkElectro[/MENTION]

Not sure I understand. Can you take a screenshot ? BubbleUPnP now uses the standard media notification also used by many other apps.

Is the problem that you paused and the app is not there anymore when you want to unpause, or something else ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It's that size for being aligned with top bar text and other item (rows) text, while leaving as much horizontal space as possible for album metadata (title, artist, etc).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=2953771]zilexa[/MENTION]

yes you need it. Kodi cannot connect to BubbleUPnP Server. The Tether client will make Kodi see your remote Kodi as any other local UPnP media server. You can also do the tethering with Android BubbleUPnP (Settings > Internet access with BubbleUPnP Server > (choose name of remote network) > Advertise on LAN.

Normally yes, this should be transparent, if it already does it when you access Kodi via UPnP on your LAN.

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
To what renderer are you playing to ? Is it an OpenHome renderer ?

If it is an UPnP/DLNA renderer the app must be running to perform track advance so if it disappeared playback would stop at the end

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Well it could sure be larger on tablets. The current size in for phones.

I need to spend some time on tablets with v3, to increase size of some stuff.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=5341153]KraftwerkElectro[/MENTION]

Ok, so this is an OpenHome renderer.

These renderers can continue to play (track advance) when BubbleUPnP is not running.

To save battery, v3 introduced a change where 'Settings > Control > Kill on inactivity' will now kick

in when controlling an OpenHome renderer (to save battery). The default is 15 minutes, so the app will kill itself after 15 minutes that the screen has been off. This is what you are observing.

The best solution for your use case is to disable 'Kill on inactivity' and to enable 'battery saving mode' (in the renderer selection dialog). Make sure to read the help on this page though to make sure you do not use a feature that requires 'battery saving mode' to be disabled.

With these, the app will both not kill itself after 15 min and not drain battery running for a long time in the background.
[Android Apps and Games] KraftwerkElectro:
I've adjusted the settings you recommended.

I'll see how I get on.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dez93_2000:
Thanks. If it helps:

Problem 2 would be nice to have, 3 & 4 might be more due to problems 1 & my phone being slow but if not would be nice but not urgent, 5 you already fixed.

Problem 1 is the real issue: can't use bubble since v3.1 renderer on android 4.4.2 cyanogenmod nexus S doesn't show up as a renderer. No settings edited since 2.9.x. Let me know if you'd like logs; I might try installing the last 2.9.x apk unless you have any ideas.

The changes to the new UI are a huge improvement, thank you. Now I can see the Artist, Composer, Album, Title and Track No. tags all displayed clearly. It's sensible again!

Suggestion: the bottom tabs take up far too much vrrtical space, more than in the old UI. But I need them. How about allowing an option for displaying them as

a) icon and text

b) icon only

c) text only

Suggestion 2: the splash screen was better when it was yellow. I already have a flashlight app. Being blasted with white light is not a useful feature or an appealing introduction.
[Android Apps and Games] elenhil:
Cool new UI! One suggestion, though: make a Select Library button on the left side, opposite the Select Renderer one.

it's just 8dp taller, not that much.

Doing this (icon and text combination) is not pratical given the component employed for the bottom nav bar.

However I may add the option (has to be an option otherwise somebody with fat fingers will inevitably declare the app unusuable)

to have them a bit less tall, reducing the font size and indentical in height to tabs in the "Youtube Music" app.

Might make it black. Because everybody loves black and it is the hotest color of 2018 and the industry going gaga about "dark modes".
[Android Apps and Games] julian67:
Yes, everybody loves black. I was recently at Tehran Fashion Week and all the designers and models at the catwalk said it is the hot colour. It's the new black.

Height concerns:

actually it is quite a problem as now the cover art actually makes Android's status bar invisible. See attachment for example where I have set side by side BubbleUPnP Now Playing with white and black cover art examples. This is on Nougat with Nova launcher but I did try with LG's very stock official Android UI and it's the same, so not a glitch with 3rd party launcher or similar edge case.

I think it's obvious that there is very big excess of empty vertical space used at the bottom of BubbleUPnP's UI, while the top is actually where a little extra is genuinely important and required.

See you at the catwalk at the next Riyadh Coco Chanel expo. I'll be the one in black.
