Thanks for the response and explanation. I understand why you decided not to pass the transcoding-parameter to external devices, although I think that it would help in my situation. In my experience, BubbleUPnP-Server is much more versatile in understanding different media-formats (and possibly "normalizing" them by transcoding) than a typical TV-set.

I just tried your suggestion of enabling the "Advertise on LAN" option within BubbleUPnP. As soon as I do this, the TV can directly access the remote media-server (with its own browsing abilities), just as you said. There is *no* "[tether]" appended, though. And transcoding doesn't happen, neither. :( I didn't try the tether-client, as I don't have a machine available here.

I have to say I don't quite get the difference in both approaches anyway. OK, in the second scenario, the media-server is advertised on the LAN. But *tethering* is happening in both scenarios - even if I don't explicitely advertise the server, right? Is the media-stream in any of the approaches routed via the BubbleUPnP-client (Android), or is the stream directly between BubbleUPnP-server and renderer?

I have an idea. I know that new options in an already powerful app are not always the best idea, and should be questioned. The simpler the better (UI-wise) is a good principle. But what about a simple option within the transcoding-options of BubbleUPnP, whether the transcoding should also be active for external renderers?

SSL certificate problem

After several months of proper work of Bubble system, now I got on my Samsung S5 error as on attached photo.

"The server cold be joined but failed the SSL certificate check"

How can I resolve the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Did you upgrade to Lollipop recently ?

A few things to try:

- check that if you entered a https server URL, that is uses port 58051 (and not 58050)

- check if the https connection URL works in a web browser (it will complain the connection is not safe due to the self signed cert but you can bypass it)

- restart BubbleUPnP Server
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You are right, "Advertise on LAN" does not enable transcoding, nor does it append [tether] to media server names. Both of these are only done by the standalone tether client. I'll see if I can add a setting to extend transcoding to all devices (it would be disabled by default).

Search is not working anymore

Hello, I love Bubble app and I use it everyday. Unfortunately the Search feature suddenly stopped working – when selecting Search from the menu, nothing happens. I have a Twonky server on WD Live and I was used to search music, it was not fast but it was reliable. Now I can't search anymore. Any idea why? (I did not change anything in my network configuration nor on WD Live disk.) Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] Jinx Lumos Joke:
Hi!

I'm using Bubble for a while now, but I started to use it on my Nexus 5 Lollipop, and have been eagerly waited for the feature to Cast from Google Play Music. Now that Xposed is available for Lollipop, I could finally enable it, but the Bubbleupnp app still say that "Audio Cast not available". "Xposed module not enabled or load failed." But I've enabled it...

Can somebody help me how to fix it?

BubbleUPnP not detecting folders

I'm sure this may have been covered at some point over the last 800+ pages of posts but I couldn't find anything specific to my issue. I had everything working fine using the server to stream my videos from my computer to my chromecast and then I had to format my computer. I'm not 100% the problem lies with the server or the app either. I'm using Wibdows Media Center to create the libraries but Bubble doesn't recognize the folder with the movies in it. It recognizes the 'Recorded TV' folder that defaults just fine which is weird.

Running Windows 7 on the PC and 5.02 on my phone.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I fiddled enough with Media Center and got it to work

BubbleUpNp download directory

Hello bubbleguuum, have tried to change the download directory to my SD card in my music folder instead of the default "bubbleupnp directory" and when i try to download a track from synology nas to the new directory then the download fails. But if i change it back to the default directory "Bubbleupnp" then everything goes fine. No error failure message after downloading a track. Am i doing something wrong? Is there any setting i should bare in mind to force bubbleupnp to download my tracks to a specific folder?

Thanks in advance!

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
On KitKat and higher, apps cannot write on additional external storage. This limitation is imposed by Android.

The only way to have it working is to root the device and restore write permission with a helper app (sdfix).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Although you got it working, I do not recommend using Windows Media Player as a media server with Chromecast, as it can

be problematic. Serviio or Kodi are a better choice.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's a weird problem. So you select search, and nothing happens, the search textfield doesn't appear ?

Noone has reported such issue yet and nothing changed recently concerning search.

You can clear the app's preference and cache in the Android settings but I do not think it will make a difference.
[Android Apps and Games] Dimman_S:
Got it.

Thanks anyway, but i will do the old fashioned way, move files manually from the default directory to my sd card. I just hoped i could skip this path.

But...thanks.

Songcast with BubbleUPnP

Maybe I'm missing something here but is BubbleUPnP supported as a Songcast Receiver?

Is the Linn SongCast software for windows compatible with BubbleUPnP or that version only for Linn devices? http://oss.linn.co.uk/trac/wiki/Songcast

BubbleUPnP doesn't show up as a Songcast Receiver in the Linn Songcast Preferences.

If not, is there another version of SongCast for windows that works (or maybe just doesn't like windows 8)? Or a different BubbleUPnP config?

I also created an OpenHome Local Renderer, but that didn't seem to detect in Songcast either.

I am able to use BubbleUPnP as a receiver for other DLNA applications so the app itself seems up and running successfully otherwise.

Thanks for any guidance on this.

Support for lyrics

Hello Bubbleguuum,

I would like to suggest a new feature:

I appreciate that BubbleUPnP works very well with the app "Musixmatch" in order to display lyrics, but lately the permissions of that app are getting a bit out of hand: permission to access identity, photos and such. It would be great to incorporate a further lyrics-app that doesn't need all those permission or - preferably - to provide the lyrics in-app using the information that is already in the ID3-tag.

I've already made this request a while ago and you said that this would be a non-trivial task. Maybe it helps that MinimServer is able to provide the lyrics, so that the control point can work with them. Possibly that makes it easier to have them displayed in BubbleUPnP!

Best regards!

Lakorus
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It's not a Songcast receiver and OpenHome renderers managed by BubbleUPnP Server are not either.

I looked at your log and I don't know why your Sony TV doesn't want to play this Plex movie. It seems it begin to stream, then immediately stops with no error.

I admit being defeated by Sony here. When testing, do not control your TV as an OpenHome renderer created with BubbleUPnP Server. It just makes things more complicated.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Maybe. Although this app should be considered dead an nobody should use it.

Hello,

any chance you could add option to use USB HDD as a location of the media, I use TV box? I can't use huge disk which get's mounted by the system to

You can already do this. Add your folder as a custom mount point in Settings > Local Media Server > Filesystem > Custom Mount Point. Then the mount point will be listed in the Library tab, at the root of the local media server.
[Android Apps and Games] Galaid:
I don't see how do I reach "Custom Mount Point" when in Filesystem...

right, Filesystem root folder is /sdcard, I need to escape to /mnt/ or /mnt/usb_storage
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Since I seem to not be able to explain it with words, here's a few images:

- Click on Settings > Local Media Server > Filesystem > Mount point. It opens a folder chooser showing the *** ROOT *** of your device (screenshot 1)

- navigate to the mount point ( /mnt/...) and click OK. I selected /mnt/obb for this example

- now go in the Library tab, make sure the local media sever is the current Library and that you are at its root

- it's magic, /mnt/obb is listed and browsable (screenshot 2)

Question about gapless playback

Hi the BubblePUnP Team!

First I have to say is I enjoy your application a lot since about 3 years as it's the more stable and efficient I've found out from the Playstore. Congrats!

Recently I've tried out some functionalities thanks to some changes in my configuration detailed below:

- One of my source of files is a box given by my internet provider acting also as a router and as a UPnP serveur. All my audio files (encoded as FLAC) are on this box.

- Devices with BuubleUPnP installed: Samsung Galaxy S4 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S

- One of the renderers at home is a Marantz Melody Station MCR603.

Question 1/

When I'm using my S4 as a renderer I hav big variations in the time line of the songs, which turns horrible to ear every track. Sounds like an old tape that have stayed under the sun...

With the Tab S, the time line is regular and it's OK to listen to the tracks. Can you help me to find out what's wrong with the S4?

Question 2/

With both the S4 and Tab S, despite having activated the gapless mode in playback options, the result is definitly not gapless, still a little interruption between 2 tracks.

I also have the Neutron app on my S4 (just to liten to music from my Android device and LAN sources, no streaming capability here) and I can ensure you not only the time line is OK and also the gapless mode is a true one, with the same source audio files from my box. Do you have any clue to help me figure out what's wrong (may be in my settings) with BubbleUPnP for this usage and help me to solve it?

Question 3/

When I'm using the MCR603 device as renderer, I also have no gapless playback. In this case, I found some stuff on internet telling this device can not play gapless for some obscure rationales about electronic component choice (explanation was too technical for me). Do you know if it's definitely something impossible to play gapless on this device or if there is a way to stream the tracks properly, may be with BubbleUPnP or something else?

I thank you very much in davance for your answer.

Kind Regards.

Problems with WD MyCloudMirror and Non-Public Folder

Hi,

I'm new to this forum, hope someone can help me.

I use a WD MyCloudMirror as Media Library which works fine with the content in the PUBLIC Folders (Music, Video, Pictures). However, I tried to add a NON-Public Folder with limited access rights (Readonly, Media Streaming is enabled). In the WD Dashboard it looks fine, but I can't access this folder from BubbleUpnP.

Is there a way to influence this via the Network Settings? I use my Server address 192.168.1.25 , If i use the test button, the device is detected, but I got an error message: "Connection failed The remote Server could be joined but returned HTTP error code 404 (Not found)" What is wrong?

Disaster

I have now twice experienced a big disaster when using the BubbleUPnP server: My audio files has been completely wiped out. Around 550 GB worth of music files. The rest of the files and folders on the disk was left untouched.

I have no idea how this could have happened. It happened overnight. In both cases it happened one or two days after I streamed from BubbleUPnP server to my work computer. Before I started using the BubbleUPnP server my system had been running without problems for months. Also, running the server at home was no problem. But very soon after I streamed on my work computer this happened. Twice.

I am not saying that the BubbleUPnP server was the cause of the disaster. But could it? What other possibilities are there? Has anyone else experienced this?

My setup is as follows: A hard drive attached to a ASUS RT-N56U router. A Raspberry Pi running Minimserver and Mediaplayer. A Banana Pi running BubbleUPnP server. At work I have Foobar2000. I connected both with and without the tether client. And it worked perfectly, also on my phone. But now I don't dare to use it anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This cannot be BubbleUPnP Server: it doesn't know the file path of your files as it only access them as http streams exposed by your media server.

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1 and 2.

Samsung has integrated its own FLAC decoder to Android, replacing the stock one used in most other devices. This can be problematic with Samsung specific issues when playing FLAC. Neutron use its own decoders so immune to such issues.

Moreover, BubbleUPnP will switch to its own FLAC decoder for playing non-Subset compliant FLAC (for example encoded with flaccl) as the Samsung FLAC decoder cannot play them, so this complicates things further.

So I can see what happens in case 1 on your S4, please send me a log file playing a problematic FLAC (see first post of this topic for instructions).

3.

Most renderers do not support gapless via UPnP/DLNA. There' no easy solution to that problem.
