Pandora is in the short list of apps that technically cannot work with Audio Cast.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The limitations do not limit discovery of devices. It looks like there is a general discovery problem of this TV by your phone. I suggest you try a different WiFi router if possible.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Vain:
Hi,

i use my tablet (nexus 7) to stream via bubbleupnp spotify to my raspberry (upnp activated).

I've realized it with the AudioCast function of Xposed. If i activate it in BubbleUpnp and choose XBMC installed on my PC, then it works fine.

But if i choose XBMC of my Raspberry (upnp activated) then ther is "working..." for 5 sec on the screen of the raspberry and after it there is nothing.

Has anyone the same problem with audiocast and xbmc on raspberry?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=289244]yoda16[/MENTION]

I found the cause of this. Will be fixed in the next BubbleUPnP Server update. It may also concern other servers than UMS but should be rare.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes there are issues with Audio Cast and XBMC on the rpi while XBMC works fine on a PC.

Try this:

- make sure to use XBMC 12.3 as XBMC 13 has issues with Audio Cast

- force WAV in Settings > Chromecast > Audio format

- increase "audio buffer length" (only if necessary)
[Android Apps and Games] Careless_:
using a synology ds712, im finding that playing MKV files over the network onto my HTC Desire Z results in the video playback, but no audio.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP doesn't play video. It is handled by your external video player app, so try several ones until your find one that works for that particular file.
[Android Apps and Games] Bodymore420:
Hey Bubblegumm! Thanks for your awesome app! Ive bought the pro version and im running 3.2.1 with mx video player and ps3 media server. I cannot figure out what is causing the issue but my video files, even when placed in a playlist, are not playing sequentially. After each video I'm sent back to the bubbleupnp app but would like to figure out a way to have the next video in order play. I've done my own troubleshooting with mx and other upnp apps but to me it seems as if it has to do with bubbleupnp. Anything you could do to help remedy this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Album artwork update "Now playing"

Hi bubbleguuum,

I bought BubbleUpnp a few days ago and I'm impressed, it works fine on my new Transformer Prime together with Twonky server on a QNAP NAS and WDTV live.

There is just one issue: Artwork in "Now playing" view doesn't change or update sometimes when using the keys for next / previous track.

Is there any solution or workaround for this problem? I already adjusted the settings in Twonky to "bubble DS control point".
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'm assuming you are playing music tracks here (correct me if I'm wrong).

Can you tell me what is the album name and track title displayed in the Now Playing screen, for two consecutive tracks for which the cover is not updated for the second track when you hit Next ?

In some rare cases, BubbleUPnP could consider that two consecutive items are from the same album (thus not updating the cover) while they are not.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Track advance for a playlist of videos played to the local renderer does not work at the moment. I will try to make it work for the next release, if I do not hit some technical limitations. So for now, videos must be played manually one by one. This does not apply to a playlist of videos played to an external renderer.
[Android Apps and Games] Knorz:
You are right, I'm talking about music. The problem occures when playing samplers like Charts containing tracks from different artists with different cover artworks. To group all tracks in one "folder" I used the "album" tag (e.g. "Charts 2011"). In the playlist screen all cover artworks are shown correctly, only "now playing" does not update after switching to the next track.

Caro Emerald - Charts 2011 - A night like this

Neon Trees - Charts 2011 - Animal (artwork of Caro Emerald is shown)

...

I appreciate your great support!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok, it confirms what I thought: second track cover is not updated because the app considers that those 2 tracks are from the same album "Charts 2011". I will probably add an advanced option to force refresh of cover on track change. I'm not sure it is a good idea to use the album tag as you did though...
[Android Apps and Games] Bodymore420:
Can't wait! Thanks for the quick reply!
[Android Apps and Games] Knorz:
Thanks! It would be great if you could integrate this option in the next revision.
[Android Apps and Games] Rickalicious:
Great App, I bought this yesterday. :)

I just wondered if there were any plans to add an EQ to the music player? or the ability to change the local music player?

I was in the bath listening to music thats all, and the speakers i had connected are rubbish at low frequencies, so could do with an EQ to sort that.

Also, as a random thought - related to being in the bath... would Voice controls be a feasable addition? :cool:

Apologies if this has been covered in the thread before
[Android Apps and Games] nicovolley:
I can't connect my Asus eeepad to the server...

All is in the title... I don't understand why my tablet don't connect to the bubbleupnp server which is seems activated..

Sorry for my English.. I'm French.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I can not connect to my Samung TV. It says resource not found (code: 716). On my TV DLNA normally works well.

I have a HTC Sensation XL

Please advice, thank you
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
On Android 2.3+ you should be able to use any app that allow to configure the system equalizer (it will work regardless of the app playing audio). For example, with CyanomgenMod7 there's a cool app named DSPManager that does just that.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
More info needed. Your goal is to access your Media Server through the Internet, right ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'm assuming you are playing from local Media Server to TV, right ?

This error is due to a bug that prevents to play on some picky DLNA TV. It will be fixed in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] honefr:
Yes, thank you for your reply.

I look forward
[Android Apps and Games] winxi:
hi bubbleguuum,

three things:

1) i don't really know if this is a bug or a feature: if a video is tapped in the library view, the current playlist is cleared and the selected video begins to play imediately (even if the 'track tap action' option is set to 'enqueue tapped track'). for music tracks it works as intended.

2) a suggestion concerning the UI: a 'search' tab would be great (in addition to 'now playing', 'playlist', 'library' and 'devices' tabs). sometimes it would be great to switch from a search result to another view without loosing these search results. so the suggestion would be either an additional tab, or to integrate the search results with the library view.

3) a question about BubbleUPnP Server: Do you plan to integrate a media server with the software? this would be my ultimate dream - bubble media server running at my NAS. I'm quite sure, many people (including me) would pay an adequate price for this.

Even though i'm repeating myself - i have to say that this is a really great software you have developed. I have tried many upnp software for android (free and comercial), but BubbleUPnP is by far the one best working, it's nearly perfect!

many thanks, winxi
[Android Apps and Games] xaps:
Sorry if this already has been suggested:

It would be great if BubbleUPnP could be enabled by other apps to play certain files. An example: I listen to a lot of podcasts and my favourite podcatcher is Pocket Casts. If you long press a podcast episode you can select "Play in external player". If i click that I can choose between different players that I have installed. It would be great if BubbleUPnP could be utilized this way, too.
[Android Apps and Games] RamenBooko:
Anyone having issues with version 1.30? Any time I load a file through Ps3 media server and try to pay it in either mobo or vplayer, it just hangs at the respective loading screen. Can't get anything to play now it seems.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's no solution for that unless you can make SSDP discovery work on your VPN (and the Chrmecast is connected to the VPN).
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Vain:
cool, the format force did it! :)

[MENTION=5820037]nhathaway[/MENTION]

ffmpeg fails on this video with obscure errors and there's no workaround that I can see. It probably has to do with the source is was encoded from (TS mpeg2 stream I suppose). I will probably report it as a bug to ffmpeg.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=5820037]nhathaway[/MENTION]

In fact, there is a workaround. What is failing is copying the unmodified h264 stream of that video. But transcoding it works, which you can force by changing Settings > Chromecast > Max video bitrate to 5000. This will force a transcode of the video because its bitrate is 5680 Kbps.
[Android Apps and Games] nhathaway:
ffmpeg bug

Unfortunately, whilst my server can just about keep up transcoding CD MPEG2, it can't keep up with transcoding HD H264, unless it is able to pass through without transcoding. So, please do report it as a bug to ffmpeg.

Help with bubbleupnp server

This is driving me crazy. I have not been able to set it up the server properly. I have all the port forwarding on my router; I can check from another computer on my network that ports 58050 and 58051 are open on the computer with the bubbleupnp server; but still get the following error

and

at internet connectivity test. Could somebody help me pls with this error?

What am I trying to do? I want to be able to get audio with my .mkv video files (dts audio track) on chromecast.
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
Why do you need any external connectivity? You are trying to play to the Chromecast over the internet?
[Android Apps and Games] newbie2014:
So, I don't need that? No I am not trying to play it over the internet; thank you very much for the quick reply.

Since, I was not getting audio in some mkv files, I thought that was the problem,

Thanks.

Dynamic DNS with no-ip

Hi,

I'm currently having a problem using my dynamic DNS hostname. I know it works properly because I can use remote desktop to connect to my home server from work. I can also connect from bubbleupnp to bubbleupnp server if I use my home IP address. Trouble is BT (my ISP) change that on a regular basis ! I'm putting 'blahblahblah dot no-ip dot biz' in the 'Network and Security' tab, and 'blahblahblah dot no-ip dot biz:58050' (with http in front - forum won't let me post external addresses !) in the 'server address' field in bubbleupnp, which was initially saying that the address had invalid characters. After I connected with the ip address it stopped saying that even though I am entering the same DDNS address, but still doesn't work.....

Any idea what's going wrong, and why I can't connect with the dynamic dns address ?

Thanks,

Nic
[Android Apps and Games] chrisphillips72:
Can I please have a refund? When I first tried the software back in Dec I had a Linksys WRT310N router. After Xmas I bought a new router a ASUS RT-AC68R. It must be the phone. I will have to try different apps untill I find something that works. Thanks;)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Internet connectivity is not needed unless you installed BubbleUPnP Server on a non-Windows machine and the ffprobe binary is not available. In that case, ffprobe is called from the cloud and requires Internet connectivity.
[Android Apps and Games] Iwarsson:
Just discovered this awesome app.

But when I'm trying to cast audio to PS3 or my Onkyo 3009 it just says "Xposed module failed to initialize" Tried different downloads, restart exposed, and Googled myself crazy...

What am I doing wrong? Rooted One X.

Both PS3 and reciever can play music stored in phone but not Spotify.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can send me an Android BubbleUPnP log file, attempting to connect (see first post of this topic for details)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Did you enable the BubbleUPnP module in the Xposed installer app (then reboot) ?
[Android Apps and Games] Iwarsson:
Yes.
[Android Apps and Games] RealZogger:
Hi,

Hopefully a quick question - probably more related to UPnP in general..

If I select another android device running BubbleUPnP as both the library and the renderer, and start playing music, does it stream the music from the remote device to the local device and back to the remote device again, or is it clever enough to bypass the local device and just play the music locally rather than use up battery streaming it back and forth?

I have a feeling it is probably the former..

If it makes any difference, the remote device has open home enabled.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The latter, as a renderer always streams directly from the media server holding the media being played. When dealing with non-OpenHome renderers, the controlling instance of BubbleUPnP must be left running to perform track advance.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can you try uninstalling and reinstalling the app (and enable the module again) ?
[Android Apps and Games] bennybaz:
Still nothing works.

The log file is attached.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The log shows that you play an URL send from another app, and the link does not exist (error 404):

http://50.7.57.195//d/mvi4g3d5qm752...rviving.Jack.S01E04.720p._.X264-DIMENSION.mkv

It has nothing to do with BubbleUPnP or OpenDNS.
[Android Apps and Games] bennybaz:
I'm trying to play this file

from Chrome Beta. When you click Download Link it gives you the option to open with bubbleupnp. Try it yourself.

It worked in the past I don't know what happened.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It worked for me. This site says "This direct link will be available for your IP next 24 hours".

Maybe it gives you an expired URL ? try to Clear the Chrome cache...
[Android Apps and Games] Iwarsson:
Tried it before and tried it again. Still the same result. From time to time I also get "transport is locked code 705"

I really appreciate all help. Is it me that is doing something stupid or is this mayby not compatible with Slimrom SlimKat 4.2?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Could well be a ROM issue with Xposed. Do other Xposed modules work ?
[Android Apps and Games] bennybaz:
Hehe. I installed the Chrome browser (not the beta) and it works if I open the file from there. weird.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Btw I used Chrome Beta, so it must be a cache issue giving you an outdated link.
[Android Apps and Games] Iwarsson:
I´m just using one more module and that one is working as it supposed to. I´m trying to use as few apps and extras as possible.

I can ask in Rom-thread if anyone is using this module.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can you send me the full logcat (bubbleguuum@free.fr) recorded some time after you phone has finished booting ?

You can use an app such as CatLog for this.
[Android Apps and Games] Iwarsson:
Of course. But in a couple of days, I'm busy today and will be in Denmark tomorrow eating good and drinking to much beer. ;)

So if I understand you correctly:

Download and install CatLog.

Reboot phone

Make CatLog and send it to you.

Ok?

Help please

Hi

I've got a degree in computing and can programme in BBC basic and machine code, Z80, 6502, STOS, Visual Basic etc..........

I'm 74 and new to this Android stuff. Everyone seems to assume that mnemonics are commonly known so things like ROM, RAM etc

fall into normal language.;)

However, I'm not averse to learning new ones as long as somebody tells me that PYOF means "pick your own fruit".:D

I've freely shared my expertise in forums for decades but I find a reluctance among the Android "highbrows" to explain

to beginners - assuming I already know the answer to what I am asking or search dozens of forums to acquire different knowledge. For

example I found Drupal very rude when I complained about a lack of help with Java. :good:

I use DMX lighting for performances and it took several weeks to find out how it worked and how to set it up. The retailers were amazing!!

e.g. "DMX just means 'Sound to light'" :rolleyes:

Right - that's off my chest!:fingers-crossed:

Now...................

I've set up my Troncast which works on my TV.

I've downloaded and installed Bubbleupnp.

I used the demo set up to try it which works fine.

But.................

I want to talk to my own equipment and remove the demo setup.

Unfortunately the "Wizard" is not very good at performing its tricks

and I don't know what to do to remove the demo and link to my own WIFI.

Any offers of help please without abbreviations?

Regards to all
[Android Apps and Games] :
The bug in the Freebox is now solved by a firmware update. M2ts files are now available within bubble upnp. But it seems that it is not possible to chromecast these files. It requires a server for transcoding. I don't understand why because m2ts is natively supported by chromecast.

Any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
m2ts is not natively supported by the Chromecast.
[Android Apps and Games] Philips9:
Hi guys,

I have problems with streaming on chromecast of file.avi ..... every 2-3 seconds freezes, as if he has difficulty making transcoding; I do not think is a network problem or because the speed adsl. mp4 go-smooth .... It 's strange because even the. mkv okay; while the. avi freeze every 2-3 seconds and then resume and crash again .... how do I fix? In bubbleUPnP Server settings I left everything default, maybe I can fix by lowering the parameter settings in the "video encoding quality"?

FOR INFO: What is the "trascode hig-res audio to 44.1/16 or 48/16 FLAC"? should be checked or not (in other words what is basically)?

PS: the quality of the files that do not require transcoding is the original file? (For example if I have a 1080p movie that is to be transmitted to a chromecast. Mp4 and therefore does not require transcoding, I will play on the tv to 1080p?) while those that require transcoding are played in lower quality?

PS: maybe is my pc that has 2core(3.10 GHZ) and with 2gb ram, windows 8.1 64bit?

[MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION] can you add the circle head to the seeker in the app please? Its sometimes hard to drag the seekbar and and the circle head will make things easier
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
To remove the demo server, go to Settings > Network and Settings > Demo, then hit the "Clear" button.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is either due to the CPU not powerful enough for transcoding or to network bandwidth too high for the WiFi:

Refer to this link to detailed troubleshooting of video stutter and possible solutions (the "Troubleshooting video stuttering issues" parapgraph): http://bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver/#cc_transcoding

This setting doesn't apply to Chromecast but to remote streaming via the Internet.

1080p when it is transcoded because it is in incompatible codec or to meet the max bitrate setting, is always transcoded to 720p.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No plan to add it back.
[Android Apps and Games] Kingell:
OK Thanks then?

Many thanks :good: - how do I connect to my own network please?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
If you don't need to transcode with BubbleUPnP server, the android app will detect your Chromecast as long as your device is on the same WiFi. It should also detect any DLNA servers you have on your home wifi without need to setup any network stuff in the app.

Hi!

First of all, congratulation for this great app.

I'm writing because I've been using it for a couple of days now, and I can't find an option allowing subtitles synchronization tweak (so, if the subtitles do not match exactly the video they can't be adjusted).

Do you plan to add the possibility to recognize subtitles from plex media server in the future?

Thank you!

P.S. Sorry, I forgot to mention: I use this app with Chromecast.

Hi

Thanks for the reply. I don't have Chromecast. I tried it and found it was too restricted. I use Tronsmart which BubbleUPnP has found OK. I just can't get BubbleUPnP to connect to my home WiFi. I don't understand everything it's asking for.:confused:

I think that the problem there isn't my pc, because If I use Plex for android, the streaming is smooth....

While using bubble upnp server in my destktop pc and bubble upnp from my smartphone I have problem with streaming and in most of case the app don't recognize my plex media server in my desktop pc.
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
Ah OK, it looks like you need the EZcast app from the Play Store to configure your Tronsmart!

After that you could use BubbleUPnP to play content to it via DLNA (it should show up in the list of devices to select as renderers).
[Android Apps and Games] ashjas:
After a few minutes of using bubbleupnp with my TV, the slideshow for pictures starts showing delay to transfer data to the TV.. Due to which,the slideshow starts counting down 3..2..1 and closes.. and resumes the slideshow again... If I force close bubbleupnp ,the problem gets resolved... So is there any setting so as to increase this timeout? So that the thing that actually plays on the TV lasts a little longer before counting down?

I can't figure out how to install ffmpeg on a mac so that it works with bubble server. Where do i put the binary? Do you guys have any links to good instructions? I've spent way too long trying to figure it out on my own.
