folder refresh/wdcloud and youtube 1080p+?

hey there,

first of all i can only thank for this program changing my media life at home for almost half a year now. so im very thankful and a proud "buyer" anyway. good job mate.

i currwntly got 2 questions:

1) while sometimes the library keeps folders when exit/starting bubble (or minimizing app and reopening it) it throws me back to the "videos / musik" root selection library screen 75% of the time. is this a wdmycloud/twonky problem or CAN bubble create that reset? if anyone knows how to stop that, it would be awesome! smartphone: n5 4.4.4 rooted.

2) will there be 1080p and maybe 4k youtube quality in future releases. i stopped using sempervidlinks today, cause it crashes all the time since the new releases and also loads for hours (omg), but good thinf i "found out" that bubble can handle this its own at current version but only provides 720p. would be awesome to have that, at least 1080p would be a comfort.

thanks a lot!

[Android Apps and Games] hacktek:
Thanks for the reply! The app does detect the server. I don't think sending the log would be useful because there's literally nothing in it after the app detects the renderers, nothing is actually written when I try to play the file (I tailed the log). I did find out what the problem is though. I recently multihomed this server (two ethernet interfaces) and the default route out of it is in a disjoint network. My phone (along with the rest of my devices) go out to the internet using a different default route. I have verified that this is the problem because if I bring down this secondary interface and set the default route to be the same as the rest of the devices, everything works fine.

Any idea why this would matter? All the files are in a local network and the app has access to them. This should all be Layer 2, why is it breaking due to Layer 3?

Thanks!

Action timeout (code:15)

I keep getting an action time out (failed to launch bubbleupnp app on chromecast code:15) and i tried restarting my phone, restarting chromecast, restarting my home wifi and even a factory reset for the chromecast but nothing worked. i tried using other apps and it worked fine but non of those apps match bubbleupnp capabilities. the problem started when i stopped using chromecast for a while and when i stared using it again there have been several updates for the app and for chromecast so a don't no when the problem started.

bubbleupnp no recheable through internet

Hello everyone,

I am having no luck making the bubbleupnp reacheable remotely.

I tried firewall disabling, port forwarding, setting my computer to DMZ in the router config. I do not know what to do. always getting error

"HTTP ERROR. Cannot connect. Check that the public host name is valid and that port 58050 is opened in your router"

I attach the screenshots of cmd ipconfig route print , my router config and the bubbleupnp LOG just in case someone knows how to help me

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] tputkonen:
I enabled logging in server and noticed the following entry there:

ffmpeg -async 1 -seekable 1 -fflags +genpts -i <nasaddress>/disk/NON-DLNA-OP01-FLAGS01700000/O0$1$8I1120524.flac -map 0:0 -c:0 libmp3lame -ac:0 2 -b:0 320k -f matroska -

Does this mean that the file does get encoded to mp3 for some reason, even though that should not be the case when I want to play FLAC with Chromecast?

License with old version

Dumb question before I buy the license app : it will always be compatible with the 1.8.6 version of BubbleUPnP that I need to use on my Android 2.3 device ? I suppose yes, but I prefer to ask.

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes the license will remain compatible with Android 2.1+.

Beware that 1.8.6 will never be updated and some stuff might not work properly anymore (Google Music in particular).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Make sure the license app is installed and send me a log file (see first post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Looks like you've found a regression introduced in v0.9.

FLAC should be transcoded to WAV (incurring no loss of qualkity), not to MP3.

I will fix it soon, using the v0.9 auto-update feature for the first time.

When it is fixed, it will use less CPU.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Code 15 = Google Play Services notifying of a timeout communicating with the Chromecast. I don't know why this happens on your setup.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Difficult to say what happens without seeing logs and understanding how you setup your network. Assuming Settings > Chromecast shows that BubbleUPnP Server is detected and If you play a media to Chromecast but do not see anything regarding it in the BubbleUPnPServer.log.0 log file, it means Android BubbleUPnP failed to reach BubbleUPnP Server somehow. Or that it denied access because it considered the request was not from the LAN (make sure "Allow to access server from the Internet" is enabled in the "Netowrk and Secutiry" tab).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1080p is not really possible as unlike lower resolutions, 1080p streams are in MPEG-DASH format that most renderers will not play.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Probable Naim bug not notifying properly end of track.

Try disabling Settings > Control > Gapless control.

If you still have the problem send me a log file up to the point the next track doesn't play (see first post for this topic for instructions).

Can't reproduce it on a Nexus 5 and Nexus 10. You can still use the back button.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The only renderers exposed by BubbleUPnP Server are the OpenHome renderers that you eventually created by enabling the relevant toggle in the "Renderers" page. These renderers can only be seen by software that work with OpenHome renderers and that does not include WIndows Media Player nor JRMC.

Now if your issue is that you do not see regular UPnP AV renderers in other software, it has nothing to do with BubbleUPnP Server.
[Android Apps and Games] stargate125645:
So, I had to use Google Play Music to make the album art display again for newly played music. It appears that Google indeed uses Play Music for that aspect of the media server. It would be nice to get around that, but it's a minor quibble I understand.

Thumbnails not showing for Android Media Library images

Hi.

I've tried emailing the developer regarding my problem, but have not received a reply so I thought I would try here.

I have one small problem that I hope you can resolve for me. If I go into the Local Media Server and then the Android Media Library and select the Images folder I see a list of images that are stored on my phone, but there are no thumbnails and so it is very difficult to find the image I am looking for. If I select each icon individually the image is displayed and from there I can render it to my TV. If I select the DLNA server on my NAS and browse image folders the image thumbnails show up correctly as expected. It is only images stored locally on the android device that don’t have thumbnails. I have tried clearing the thumbnails cache in settings, but this has not resolved the problem. Please will you let me know what I have to do to get the thumbnails show up correctly.

I am using version 2.1.1.1 of BubbleUPNP on an HTC One X+ running Android 4.2.2

Thanks for your help with this.

Regards, David Peck.
[Android Apps and Games] phrenq:
Yes I know, no problem, for me the app is fully sufficient as it is now, I never felt any need of extra feature (I sincerely don't plan to use either Google Music, Chromecast or any other proprietary system, UPnP serves them all). I suppose anyway that at some point I will change my phone to a newer one with Android 4.

Congrats ! What a great emotion for a developper, like when the first child says its first word :P

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Great! Can you send me a log file with gapless control enabled, up to the point next track doesn't play, so I can understand why it doesn't play and eventually exclude this renderer for gapless control ?

Library shuffle timeout

Advancing to the next track often times out when using library shuffle mode with my Seagate Wireless Plus (running minidlna):

[Search-run ] WARNING - 10:05:14.77 - StreamClient : HTTP request took a long time: 6549ms: <URL REMOVED>:8200/ctl/ContentDir

Settings->Local Renderer->Gapless playback is disabled and Settings->UPnP Tweaks->UPnP Action Timeout is set to maximum of 60s, but these timeouts still occur.

Is there any way the shuffle timeout can be increased?
[Android Apps and Games] dark0shark:
Dear bubbleguuum,

could you please rename all installers at http://bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver/ by adding the version to the filename? F.e. "BubbleUPnPServer-installer.exe" will become "BubbleUPnPServer-0.9-update1-installer.exe" so one can figure out, when a new version is really ready for download. This would help especially with the NAS and Linux packages.

Best greetings from Hamburg, Martin
[Android Apps and Games] fp.ath.cx:
It's possible to hide renderers/libraries by adding the "devices"-column at the button, hiding the elements there and setting the filter to "not hidden". This works at first. As soon as remove the "devices"-column again via the "look and feel"-settings, the filter disappears and all devices are shown. When I add the "devices"-column again, also the filter works again. Is this expected behaviour? I would prefer the filter to remain, even if the "devices"-column is not shown.

Album art errors

Hello BubbleUPnP,

I have always had trouble with incorrect or non-existent album art on your app (on a Nexus 7), even where I have embedded the art into the MP3/FLAC file and/or added it as folder.jpg in the relevant album folder (using Music Bee on a W7 PC) on the media server (Western Digital My Book Live Duo).

Typical symptoms are no art at all, incorrect album art (often in one album some of the tracks are correct, whilst the rests have the art from another album which can sometimes be from an album I have recently added), incorrect in the Library list but then correct in the Now Playing window.

I have searched this forum and see others have had similar issues but no cure that I can find.

Any ideas?

Many thanks for your help,

Alex

I'm getting a really strange problem with Bubble UPNP and Chromecast. Unless I untick 'preserve multi channel audio' I only get music/background sounds, no speech. If I untick then I get everything but just in stereo.

Any ideas? Maybe something to do with the version of ffmpeg?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
A probable ffmpeg bug / issue transcoding the original multichannel audio to 5.1 AAC.

What's the audio codec and channel count of the video ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No need as since v0.9, installers always install the latest version at the time of install.

Also, since v0.9 there's no need to rerun the installer to update to a newer version. BubbleUPnP Server will autoupdate itself automatically,

if enabled in the Settings > Updates web page (It checks for updates everyday at 4am).

If the "Auto-update" setting is disabled, the update will be downloaded but you will have to apply it manually on that same page.

That page also has a button to manually check for updates.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
foo_upnp only handles music.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Not possible with the new installer I uploaded a few days ago. If you still get a warning,

that's the old installer probably from the web browser cache.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Hidding devices only works when the "Devices" tab is shown to avoid users forgetting to have hidden devices at some point, and wondering why "they aren't discovered".
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Increasing the timeout to get next shuffle track is not really the solution for best experience. Minidlna has known issues with UPnP Search performance. I suggest using MinimServer instead of minidlna as it will return next track super quick.

Please support Audio Cast with Raspberry Pi

Hi!

First of all I would like to say that this bubbleupnp app is simply amazing! Love it!

But there is something that I miss so much: Audio Cast support for Raspberry Pi (RPi) and Logitech Media Server (LMS).

There already several threads everywhere reporting the illegal MIME type error 714 while trying to cast to RPi (Squeezelite via picoreplayer or something else) or any other Logitech's Squeezebox.

IFAIK, LMS can play almost every existing audio format, but it fails to play any Audio Cast stream... Already disabled MIME type check in UPnP settings, changed auto type to WAV, LPCM, nothing works. I paid for bubbleupnp because it is great software and worth every penny but also looking for this function to work, maybe the developer could explicitly tell us that it is only supported to work (and tested) with XBMC/Kodi?

Regards!

ps.: using bubbleupnp v2.1.1.1
[Android Apps and Games] wlbx707:
Maybe. I just ignored the warning. The program works fine and everything's good now. :) ;)

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Weird. One of my test video has an AC3 track similar as above with music and voice, and everything can be heard (with my Chromecast hooked to a stereo setup, so with the resulting 5.1 AAC transcoded track converted to stereo probably by the Chromecast or the TV it is plugged to).

Can you send me a linnk to that video (bubbbleguuum@free.fr) so I can test it ?

The AC3 passthrough mode when enabled is just a flag passed to BubbleUPnP Server to inidcate to *not* modifify the AC3 track in any way in the transcode, so it has a chance to be decoded by a Dolby Digital (AC3) hardware decoder plugged to the Chromecast output (which is supported since firmware 19084).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The Squeezeboxes UPnP renderer based on the Logitech UPnP Plugin is known to be potentially problematic (buggy). First, this renderer doesn't claim to support WAV in the mime-type list it returns. It claims to support LPCM except it return a mime-type error when being passed a mime-type it declares to support for LPCM. Squeezeboxes can be turned into reliable UPnP renderers with Whitebear, but it is Windows only.

On the RPi, Audio Cast should work with latest stable XBMC. LPCM is broken in Kodi betas (Kodi bug) but WAV should work.

It shoould also work with upmpdcli.
[Android Apps and Games] neufena:
Thanks, it's a big file so once it uploads to my Dropbox I'll send a link.

I've done some more testing. My set up is

Chromecast -> HMDI switch with optical out -> Cambridge Audio amp/decoder.

With or without the 'preserve mult channel' option the decoder detects standard 2 channel PCM. With the 'enable passthrough' flag the decoder detects no input.

On another channel of the HDMI switch is and Xbox 360, this outputs DD surround as expected.

Marantz Multi zone receiver issues

Firstly great app with great features. Wish I had found it sooner.

Was this issue ever resolved. I have a marantz NR1604 and have the same issue. The receiver only shows as one renderer and as soon as I stream to it the input of the main zone is changed to the bubbleguuum stream. If I then turn off the main zone bubbleguuum will stream go to zone 2.

There's no concept of zones with UPnP AV, just renderers. A renderer can output to a single device or multiple ones, but BubbleUPNp doesn't know about it.

lollipop notifications

Lollipop introduced the concept of sensitive notifications, but it is up to developers to mark their notifications/playback controls as not sensitive.

Would it be possible to mark the BubbleUPNP controls as not sensitive so I can use them without exposing truly sensitive data?

I'd post the links, but XDA. You can see the relevant info in the Android 5.0 Changes and APIs pages.

Got a problem since today. I just updated to a new xbmc Version and the Audio Cast doesn't work anymore without problems.

The normal music streaming works just fine.

When I stream my Audio Cast to XBMC I only can hear a white noise and the music is very quiet in the background.

Don't know if this could be seen in a logcat. Should I send one? Do you understand my problem?

Nevertheless, thank you very much for this amazing product!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If you mean you are using Kodi, it is a Kodi bug that broke LPCM streaming. Just because XBMC/Kodi have become

experts in breaking LPCM in their betas.

You should be able to have Audio Cast playing on Kodi switching to WAV in Settings > Audio Cast > Audio Format.

BubbleUPNP vs DS414j

Hello,

I bought Synology DS414j, but I am not able to see the Media server (DLNA) on my Samsung TV (UE40C67)...

I manually enabled required ports, but TV just doesnt want to communicate with NAS :crying:

So, I installed the BubbleUPNP (Java Manager + Java 7.0.51 installed before) server on the NAS, disable the Synology Media Server, Video and Photo Stations...

But once I click to start BubbleUPNP it dies in second :(

No error produced :confused: just status changed from Running back to Stopped

Any idea why? Thank you.

[Android Apps and Games] Bluecharge:
@ Bubbleguuum: Thanks for your great support here! :)

My only problem with BubbleUPnP is, that it won't continue playing a playlist reliable (Pro-Version). So, if I create a playlist on one device to control the other that is connected to the speakersystem, it will play some songs and than stop continuing with the next in line, in spite of showing the play symbol. This happens by chance, its never the same song.

To coninue, I have to choose the over-next song, wait until it begins to play, and than return by tapping the right one in line.

What may be the reason for this unreliable behaviour? Oh, doesn't matter where the musicfiles are located.

Would the logfile be helpful? Of both devices?

Thank you for all your work so far.

I think I figured out why BubbleUp won't autostart on Windows.

It looks like when you have multiple media servers it wont start. No errors in the log.

I have Serviio and Plex set up to autostart and if I turn one of them off (autostart) BubbleUp autostarts fine. With both mediaservers autostarting BubbleUp won't autostart.
