Do you mean sending a playlist without requiring the app to stay running ? That's what OpenHome renderers are for. Refer to BubbleUPnP Server for info. This assume the content is not served from the local media server in which case the app must be running to serve the content.
[Android Apps and Games] sorepinky:
A few things...

In the last couple of updates, BubbleUPnP has been mixing up the cover art of albums recently added to my JRiver library. It seems to correct itself after a while. Here is a screenshot with the wrong covers showing:

Here it is corrected after a while:

Also the icons for "Audio" and "playlists" have gone super tiny again:

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
OK. I'll try to reproduce it. The app uses an entirely new library for thumbnail loading since a few versions.

Can you find a pattern where this issue always happen ?

This change was done on purpose
[Android Apps and Games] mrbo:
It does appear that way when you first glance at the documentation, but the DocumentsProvider class actually supports getting both directories, as well as actual file streams. It essentially seems to be a higher-level abstraction of a file system.

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/DocumentsProvider.html

So, at least theoretically, it should be possible. Anyway, I was just thinking that it would be the next logical feature to add, since the local server already supports playing files from Google Drive, Dropbox, etc....

Yeah I tried that, but as you rightfully pointed out, you can only send one file at a time, so it's not very good for playing entire albums of music, and also the fact that you have to exit out of the playback app and select the tracks from ES File Explorer just makes for a clunky user experience. Being able to pick stuff directly from withing BubbleUPnP would be much better.

I hope you can find some time to look into adding support for this. Your app is really quite fantastic, and it is already my most frequently used media player, but this would make it even better.
[Android Apps and Games] bigmem:
Ok here is the log file, hope you can help.
[Android Apps and Games] beebock:
Hi

It is internal and a Samsung the local player does not have the issue nor does the Google one making me think the issue is inside bubble.

Changing those settings does solve the problem but introduces a few limitation. No gapless and no seek either. Is there anything else that can be done?
[Android Apps and Games] bigmem:
Here is the log file, finally found it. Hope you can help. I've tried everthing,
[Android Apps and Games] sorepinky:
Seems to happen after importing new titles to the JRiver library. Once it sorts itself in BubbleUPnP it seems OK until I import some more new titles. For example I turned on BubbleUPnP just now to check and all looks good (since I didn't rip and import any new CDs since last posting. Yes the problem only showed from a few versions ago. :)

Hope that helps.

Edit: Just turned BubbleUPnP on again (no intervening library imports) and it seems that if I scroll down throught the albums (only in "Recent"), there is muddle in the cover art.

It's all good if I go by "Genre", "Artist", "Album" or "Composer". The cover art muddle is only under "Recent".

Funny thing is that it seems to sort itself after a few minutes.

Cheers.

Hi bubbleguuum,

I am a BubbleUPnP Pro user since a lot of time on Android.

Right now, I am moving in a different city, so I would like to set the BubbleUPnP server to be able to access my library on demand by my mobile or PC. I have already created router scripts that auto-wake up my server pc when I access a particular port or I can also just access it by SSH and wake it up so I'm setup there :)

Now, I am having a weird problem straight away after having installed BubbleUPnP Server: the service exits after some seconds without giving out any reasoning in the log:

I tried changing ports for the sake of testing (I checked out with netstat they are not in use) with no luck.

What could be wrong here?

[edit]

Noticing the 32-bit Java requirement on your website, I tried uninstalling Java x64, and running the server again. No differences, unluckily :(
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can you post the content of BubbleUPnPServer.log.0 in the install directory ?
[Android Apps and Games] ErMeglio:
Oops, I was looking in the wrong log file, then! Sorry. Anyway, I'm unable to find references to the main exception in the log, which seems to be:

org.boris.winrun4j.ServiceException: java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Implementing class

The file was quite full due to the tests I did, so I cleaned it completely and started the service once again. The full log is available here:

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Something is clearly broken but I have no idea what. This error just shouldn't happen.

I can't of course reproduce it, using the same Java version.

Can you try uninstall and reinstall both BubbleUPnP Server and 32 bits java ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The log files ends too soon. I need a log filre recorded for the duration until the problem happens, that is at least 30 minutes long.
[Android Apps and Games] ErMeglio:
I noticed a lot of weird VirtualBox network devices left there by a previous installation and removed them all, it was not easy too (device manager refused to do it).

Then I uninstalled all Javas and BubbleUPnP Server, reboot, reinstall. It did the trick, as of now, it works! Thank you ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ErMeglio:
bubbleguuum, a little question: would it be possible to use our own certificate for the https web server?

Firefox here completely refuses to open both http and https:

http gives out error code:

ssl_error_rx_record_too_long

because, in short, it always changes http:// to https:// by itself with no apparent reason;

https gives out error:

sec_error_unknown_issuer

which is the common "non-trustable connection" message (subject and CA aren't OK), but without the possibility to add an exception even if you want to.

I had to take Chrome back to access it!
[Android Apps and Games] bigmem:
The error happens at the same time frame so even if I move the slider along to the 28min 58sec I let it play and it happens. Its the same error. Do you really need me to have it play for the 30min? It stops with the same error if it plays to 29min 30sec or if I fast forward to just before and let it play. And it can't be started past 30min into the file or has the same error.

I have trouble finding how use a http video stream as source? I have a mp4-stream that I want to cast to a Chromecast but I cannot cast it directly because the format is not supported by Chromecast. So I thoght I could do it via my Nexus 5 + BubbleUPnP + BubbleUPnP Server.

But looking at the features.. I think it can't be done?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You get this error if you connect via https using the wrong port (58050 instead of 58051).

If you use https://<ip>:58051, it should work fine (Firefox will ask to add a security exception).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It can be done (with BubbleUPnP Server). What is your exact problem ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
OK. I didn't see you seek to the problematic position in the log. The logs shows seeking and the renderer reporting playback has stopped shortly after. No hint on why it stops playing though... What happens if you force the screen of your Android device to stay on while streaming ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is definitely a problem with FLAC decoding on this particular Samsung ROM. It doesn't happen with other music players because it is a http streaming specific bug, and other apps do file streaming. BubbleUPnP always do http streaming, even for playing files stored on your Android device.

There's no solution unless Samsung fixes it in a future ROM, or your use a non Samsung ROM that will not have this problem (by using stock audio decoders).

The "own FLAC decoder" supports seeking, but only for FLAC files that have "seek points". Seek points can be added to any exisiting FLACs with the command-line tool metaflac (with the --add-seekpoint option), part of the FLAC distribution.
[Android Apps and Games] Konstigt:
Can't figure out how to choose the http stream as source? Only different filesystem and cloud sources.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Go into the Playlist tab, then Menu > Add Stream URL.

Alternatively, you can click on a stream URL in a web browser and send/share it to BubbleUPnP.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This is super difficult to troubleshoot as I cannot reproduce it.

Can you describe exactly "it seems to sort itself after a few minutes" ? Do you mean that exiting and reentering the "Recent" folder fixes it ?
[Android Apps and Games] sorepinky:
I can't reproduce it either today. All is looking good, but when the "Recent" list had muddled covers, leaving the "Recent" folder, going to say the "Albums" folder and then returning to the "Recent" folder would sometimes see the correct cover are appear, but not immediately. After a few minutes (of visiting other folders) it would sort itself. I did observe that sometimes the occasional cover art was missing but appeared as a faint "ghost" of the correct cover art and then it flled in with solid colours later.

This is a minor issue and I'm not complaining. Just posting to help you out. Don't waste too much time on it. I had other apps running and it may have been a memory issue on my tablet.

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] ErMeglio:
The problem was that I previously did that error once, and from then on FF refused to connect again even with the correct protocol and port. It didn't provide the "add exception" option either. Quite weird. After a cache cleaning everything got working again ;)

still dropouts within kitkat

In the meanwhile I have tried neutron - it too can play my mp3 without any dropout.

And I have learned that playing with wifi settings of Android can reduce the dropout frequency. But of course I need zero dropouts.

I really like bubbleupnp and would continue to use it (thus I bought it some months ago). But I cannot accept dropouts!

Any idea?

Follow-up about viewing multiple images in viewer when playing music

I thought I'd post a follow-up about this in case anyone is interested or searching later on......

I wished to use BubbleUPnP control point to view image files located in the album folder for the track that is playing. For example, the back cover, liner notes, etc. Turns out the server has to supply this for BubbleUPnP to handle it. I use MinimServer and don't wish to change, but it won't serve multiple images in this way.

I found a good work around that, unfortunately, is only good on Samsung androids (unless there is a third party app that will do this for other brands). It is the Multi View feature that allows two apps to be displayed split screen.

I am using ES File Explorer which allows viewing of files on the LAN. MultiView won't display this app natively though. I had to root and install MultiView Manager, which allows any app to be added to the split screen. I have the BubbleUPnP / ES File Explorer pair saved, so they both will open in the split screen with one tap. ES File Explorer allows a default folder when it opens - so it opens with my Music folder on the NAS.

I maximize the BubbleUPnP portion of the screen so it is split ~ 6:1. Then I can just tap for swapping which app is in the larger portion. Cool! :cool:

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------

On to the next!

I added a url stream to BubbleUPnP for an internet radio station - http://89.16.185.174:8004/stream

When I play it, it only plays for three seconds and stops. In the Now Playing screen, it actually shows the length of the "track" as three seconds. Same result with other stations.

I tried the same thing using the setting for playing XiiaLive through BubbleUPnP with the same result on multiple stations.

Hard to search for something like this in the thread or it hasn't come up before. Any ideas or need more info?

Thank you.......

Chromecast Streaming through Google Drive

My sense is that this is more of an issue with the Chromecast update than with BubbleUPnP, but since Google never seems to respond to customer concerns, I thought I might have better luck with you.

Prior to the latest Chromecast update, I used BubbleUPnP to cast videos directly from Google Drive and it worked beautifully. Since the update, when I try to cast videos from Google Drive, it displays the filename and thumbnail and the loading bar, but hangs there.

When I use my phone as the renderer, the video plays normally. So my current workaround is to mirror my phone for casting. Not only does this involve a lot more steps, but the picture isn't nearly as smooth.

Like I said, I realize that the issue isn't really with BubbleUPnP...just thought you might have some insight into why this is happening.

Cheers,

Kevin

Last.fm

The official Last.fm app is crashing whenever I use it. It seems like I am not the only one with this problem. This has of course nothing to do with BubbleUPnP, but I loose the artist lookup function. Does anyone know other apps that can replace the Last.fm app? I have tried some, but these are mostly for scrobbling only.

Streaming showbox to PS3

HI everyone, thanks in advance for any help you can give. I've searched this thread (and the internet) for clues but I haven't been able to get anywhere. As the title suggests I'm trying to use BubbleUPNP to stream showbox from my tablet to my PS3. My friend assures me that this is possible but I'm not having much luck. With Bubble running on my tablet I can use the XMB to navigate to the folders on the tablet and play the files there.

As far as I understand the process for using the app to stream to the PS3 is to select it as a renderer however when I open the list in the app "local renderer" is the only option. I've installed the app on my Andorid phone to see if the issue is only on the tablet but it's not on that list either.

I've heard nothing but praise for the app, so I'm sure it's just something that I'm missing. Can someone give me a few pointers on setting this up?

Thanks again.

[Android Apps and Games] sedardna:
A new bug found in payed version. I can cast to chromecast an avi video. I read the documentationand all is ok:silly:
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You need BubbleUPnP Server to transcode AVI. You did not state if you have installed it or not.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
- try to reboot your WiFi router, Tomato, Android device

- make sure your WiFi router is updated to its latest firmware
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The PS3 is not a renderer that is remotely controllable (unlike Xboxes): it will not appear as a renderer.

You can only browse and play from media servers using the PS3 itself. Currently, if you want to play Showbox movies, you have no other choice than to download the movie on your Android device, then on the PS3, in the Video top menu, browse the BubbleUPnP Local Media Server and play it from there.

[MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION]: I'm using MiniDlna as MP3 server (there are still problems detecting it we wrote a while ago)

If I add a new mp3 to MiniDlna and in Bubble Upnp I reload the directory list, the new file gets the picture of the file below. The below file gets the picture after this etc.

Only go to settings and clear cache helps
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's likely a problem with minidlna not having stable thumbnail URLs on rescan (eg when you add or remove files).

As BubbleUPnP cannot efficiently detect this, there's no other way than to clear the app's thumbnail cache.
[Android Apps and Games] defim:
Can't you just save in the cache the name of the file the picture was saved for?

Btw, I mentioned this before: Please add a long-touch action to "stop" button: sleep timer. Like the forward 30sec

Installing BubbleUPnP Server on ReadyNAS NVX

If I'm not mistaken, there's no BubbleUPnP Server package for ReadyNAS NVX (intel x86, Raidiator 4.x) available, right? :confused:

Still, as it says on the product page the application can be installed on any device running Java, which I installed last week to get MinimServer running (check!). Now I've been searching the ReadyNAS forum, the MinimServer forum, this thread and well... basically the whole Internet. Can't find an answer. :(

This is impossible, obviously, the Internet has an answer for everything. :p Probably it's user error all over... can anyone help me out?

How on earth am I going to get BubbleUPnP Server on my ReadyNAS? I don't care if I have to build the package myself or get root access to shove it in. Just need (step by step) instructions, because I'm trained to understand, not to act. :)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Use the zip distribution of BubbleUPnP Server. It can run anywhere Java is available.
[Android Apps and Games] Robin_vdp:

minor enhancement VBR

Hello!

Currently if one plays VBR encoded music the bitrate from start of track is shown on the now playing screen. Instead that display a prefix like VBR and output the current bitrate.

Thanks, Michael

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

I'd like to playback music recorded by my SAT receiver from some German radio station. That music is available in two tracks, one stereo mp2 and one ac3 multichannel. The app BS player can decode that data, bubbleupnp itself not. For video playback one can select an external app. Please enhance bubbleupnp to use an external app for audio decoding, too.

(BTW that would also fix my dropout issues during locl music playback.)

Thanks, Michael
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Do other apps detect your Chromecast ?

Try to reboot your Chromecast, Android device, WiFi router.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The displayed vbr is an average vbr computed by the media server. There's no way for BubbleUPnP to display the dynamic vbr as the track plays,

since it doesn't have access to this info.

Selecting an external music player apps is not possible because only 1 track at a time can be manually sent to it, which is not very usable for most case.

However, I will look into exposing the streams URLs in the item metadata dialog and make them clickable for sending to another app able to handle it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I don't understand what you are doing.

Just unzip the zip in a folder on your nas, then start these commands in a shell while in the installation folder (assuming Java is working):

[Android Apps and Games] zekeblue:
That was on a Samsung tablet. I found that it works if I use local renderer. When I specify my usual Stream Magic 6 renderer, the problem happens. So, it may not be an incompatibility with Samsung but one with the Stream Magic. I'm assuming there is little I can do if it is compatibility issues, but worth checking to see if there might be a setting I haven't found that might remedy this.
