Saved Playlists

I did a quick search and was not successful finding this question here or elsewhere.

I created a long playlist for my son's bridthday party in my smartphone that I stored as a Saved Playlist, but now I realize that I'd prefer to dedicate his tablet to this instead. After all, he will want to have his favorite music with him.

I assumed that the Saved Playlist would be saved in the DLNA server (Twonky Server running from my QNAP, in my case). However, I

am unable to find the Saved Playlist from his tablet. Am I doing something wrong, or this is just not possible that way? Is there a way to do what I want? So far my best alternative seems to be enabling an OpenHome Renderer, settting up the playlist from my smartphone and checking to see if he can edit it from his tablet.

More Cover Arts Size Options in Bubble UPnP

Dear Developer of the BubbleUPnP Android Program!

I like to say Thank You for the wonderfull program BubbleUPnP !!!

This program is truly perfect, nicely designe, piece of arts !!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Developer.... it is posible to give more options to change the CoverArts

pictures size than we have now? (Only the Original size and Fitt the Screen)

Something like 25% / 50% / 75% / MAX

Here is why:

I'm usinng a 10'' tablete Wi-Fi connected to a Seagate Home NAS UPnP.

My Audio Collection is on the HDD by folders (1 folder its 1 cd album)

Every cd folders contains the Audio files (flac) / Cover Arts (i use only external) / playlist file (m3u)

When i open to play my cd folder with BubbleUPnP, the CoverArts on the Now Playing window is way too small.

I think BubbleUPnP accesing only the Seagate NAS HDD database made cover arts that only 160x160

and not the original pictures that is in the cd folder.

And when i maximize that 160x160 pictures on 10" tablete, the picture is just way too ugly, big, not clear....!

Maximize 160x160 picture to a size of half screen of the 10" tablete its just not nice!!!

(I'm not suprize that 160x160 picture not look nice in the 500x500 resolution!!!!)

Please give us the options to change cover arts size other than "Fitt to Screen"

I know some rule can't be change... if the UPnP policie is dictate that accessing only the database

made cover Arts and not the original in the audio folder, that fine with me!

But i like to inform you that Seagate Home UPnP NAS made his database only with 160x160 cover arts pictures.

And if Seagate doing this, i'm sure other doing that too!!

And chaning resolution to a 160x160 pictures to a nice lookable acceptable level is something like 20-30% (Fitt to Screen

is out of questions)

Thank You very much for listening me! I wish you guys all the best!!!! :) szkzs.

Please forgave me for my bad english!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It seems your media server sends 160x160 images as full res album art to BubbleUPnP. Some Media server do that (notoriously: Twonky) and can be configured to do otherwise.

In the Now Playing screen, if you play that track do you see a high res or obviously low res image ?

If in BubbleUPnP you download the untranscoded track from your media server (not going through BUbbleUPnP Server), is the resulting downloaded cover not 160x160 ?

There are very few Media Servers that handle single FLAC + cue properly. foobar2000+foo_upnp does it but it runs on Windows (and Wine).

If must be named ffmpeg, not ffmpeg.sh, and must be in the PATH. If you installed BubbleUPnP Server with the Ubuntu package I can give you more specific instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If you play these tracks selecting your regular NAS in the Device tab (not its BubbleUPnP Server proxy), do the tracks play properly as single tracks ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There 2 way to copy the saved playlist:

- If you run the licensed version of BubbleUPnP (on the smartphone), on the tablet, select his smartphone as a Library in the device tab. Now in the Library tab you should be able to browse the saved playlist stored on the phone (with the "Saved Playlist" folder that is *NOT* in the virtual folder section). Enter this folder and long-click on the saved playlist you want to transfer, select "Add to saved playlist.." then select "New playlist" and give it a name. The new playlist will now be stored on the tablet in the "Saved playlist" virtual folder.

- saved playlists are saved to file on the SD card and you can simply copy them between devices. The location is Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp/playlists. Copy the playlist file from the phone to the same location on the tablet and it will appear in the "Saved Playlist" virtual folder.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The problem is your Media Server sending only 160x160 covers to BubbleUPnP, instead of full res covers.

This probably can probably be changed in the Media Server's configuration. It it Twonky running on this NAS ?

Do you have a Wiki page? I 'm willing to add this fabulous bit of knowledge once I have a spare time, if you want.

Repeating Tracks

I am still experiencing repeating tracks and stopping mid track when using BubbleUPnP with foobar for my renderer and asset manager. I noticed that there have been some updates since I sent in my log files and I have installed both the BubbleUPnp and foobar updates but still are having issues. I know you mentioned turning off gapless but as I listen to mostly classical gapless is essential. I tend to listen to whole albums in track order so I am not jumping around to different tracks from different albums or anything confusing to the control point like that.

Thanks,

John

Hi,

Bought the license and liking it so far, except this:

I am trying to access the playlist i created on google music which includes some of my own uploaded tracks and some from online. I does show the playlist but plays only the uploaded ones.

Would be possible to support playing google music that's not been uploaded but added to the playlist?

When browsing the library and playing a file, I am taken to the now playing screen. When going back to the library tab, is it possible to make it so it goes back to where I left off?
[Android Apps and Games] onmomo:
The cover is low res if i play the track directly. When I download the Album without transcoding, the cover is also 160x160.

Splitted all single flac files, problem solved.. ;)

Sounds interesting, I installed BubbleUPnP Server with the Ubuntu package, I would really appreciate more specific instructions.

thx!

Just paid and installed this wonderful app on my 4.2.1 Asus Pad.

Unfortunatelly, my WMP library isn´t showing as media server.

I'm on Win7, and have all 3 streaming options "turned on" in WMP settings, as well as all "share" options available.

BubbleUPnP server is installed on my PC, running fine, as status indicates.

Could you tell me what am I missing here, please? :confused:

Hi i wonder if bubble works over bluetooth hotspot, when i try the "test" on my tablet it says successful but i can't find any libraries. at the same time i can find the libraries on my phone over 3g which is the hotspot
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Problem reproduced and identified.

Currently BubbleUPnP doesn't manage bluetooth network connectivity properly with at least 2 problems:

- doesn't retrieve media servers managed by BubbleUPnP Server even if the connection test is successful (what you reported)

- tethered bt device and device providing bt tethering do not see each other in Library

It will be fixed in the next release of BubbleUPnP.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Is it for accessing WMP on the LAN or remotely through BubbleUPnP Server ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok so your media server is defnitely returning 160x160 covers to BubbleUPnP, so it must be changed in your media server's configuration (Google it)

In /usr/share/bubbleupnpserver, rename the ffmpeg binary to ffmpeg.real and make an executable shell script named "ffmpeg" that look like this:

add the params you want before $*. Make sure to not add params that will break stuff. You can monitor ffmpeg command line executions with params in the BubbleUPnP Server log file in /root/.bubbleupnpserver
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I do not understand your question.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:

I browse my library, play a video, go to the now playing screen. If I hit the back button, it closes the app instead of going back to the library screen. If I then reopen the app and go to library it starts at the top level and I have to navigate back down to whatever folder I was in before. Can the back button function as "previous screen"?
[Android Apps and Games] Zootopia:
Thank you for replying.

Mainly, it's for accessing the WMP library through the LAN.

I've tried shutting down the firewall, no sucess. But I'm getting the feeling it may have something to do with the default windows firewall, that probably automatic activated when I shut down the one I primarily use.

Will have to check when I get home later on, in about 6/7 hours...

Does any dlna server software support searching?

Hi bubbleupnp and others,

Are there any dlna servers that support searching? All of the servers I've tried to do it with (minidlna, plex, wmp..) , using the bubbupnp app, prompt the message that they don't support searching.

I'd also be interested in your opinion on which dlna/upnp server software is the best? What do you use?

Cheers and thanks for the great software!

Don’t know exactly what happened, but when I got home yesterday, turned on my table, opened BubbleUPnP and without ever touching the laptop, my tablet automatically discovered my “PC – Library” as it was supposed to in the first place.

Anyway, all is good now.

Great app, wonderful work, 3,50 € very well spent. :)

Volume changes back to 100 on xbox renderer

Hi,

first of all great app!!

I'm using this app to control my xbox and stream songs using the twonky server in my router.

When I add songs to the playlist and change the volume during playback all works fine. But when the next songs starts, the xbox always reverts to a 100% volume level. BubbleUpnp controller still shows the volume that I have set. When I change the volume again all is fine until the next song starts to play.

Is this a known issue?

Is there a workaround for this issue?

font size for Library view

I can see the library option for text on multiple lines but is there any font sizing for the library view,its a bit small on a big tv screen for quick browsing,

also Is there any way to make the library show folders first or last,If browsing a upnp server its very odd that it displays alphabetically with folders and files mixed.

Other apps viewing the same upnp don't do this so it seems to be just bubbleupnp
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This is a known Xbox 360 bug (one of the weirdest one, where the volume just resets to 100% for no reason) and I workarounded it some time ago, so I was surprised by your report until I tried it and could reproduce the bug.

I have now fixed it I think for good and the fix will be in the next version. The workaround is as weird as the bug and consist in waiting some time between 2 specific commands sent to the Xbox when playing a track. Without this, nasty xbox will reset volume.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
WMP supports search.

Try Twonky, it has the best search support
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No option for that. Are you using Google TV or something else ?

BubbleUPnP displays files and folders in the order your media server returns them. What is you media server ?

Hi, i bought the license a few weeks ago, and i couldn't be happier with the app. There's just an issue that's been bugging me. I'm using Serviio as a server on the pc (where my music is streamed from) and bubbleupnp on my android stick (MK802III) that is connected by HDMI to my Yamaha Receiver. I also control it from my android phone. The problem is that if i use the open home renderer, i lose gapless playback. When i use the default local renderer, gapless works fine. I only noticed it today, i never really noticed it before. Was it always like this, or was there some sort of update that changed it?

Anyway, thanks for the great app!

If I select the search field the suggestions/last-searches dialog pops up. As soon as I hit the first key on the physical keyboard the dialog closes and the first element of the currently displayed items gets selected.

All my music library appears on my tablet, but it's impossible to play music. :( I succeed in finding 2 musics only to play successfully, but all the musics left are impossible to play.

Can you help me please ?

Thanks in advance

And please remove your 1 star Google Play review for what is likely to be a problem with mediatomb, or the way it is configured.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
OpenHome renderers (whether through BubbleUPnP Server or Android BubbleUPnP for the local renderer) cannot drive gaplessly a regular renderer that supports gapless (very few do). I may add this functionality later although no promise as to when.

Only regular UPnP AV renderers can be controlled gaplessly (if they suport gapless of course).

WMP should work fine. Check that "repeat" is not enabled in WMP.

Suggestions

Nice app, thanks for the great support. Bought myself a license some time ago, and been using it ever since. However, got a few minor gripes:

1. I built myself a long playlist with all my .flac music on the server. All that music is in various folders, so I just "selected all" them folders, and added to my "All" playlist. Trouble is, this way, aside from .flac files, I also get .m3u files in the mix as well which I do not want (BubbleUPnP chokes on them). Can you make it so the "select all" action ignores them .m3u files please?

2. Would you consider building a widget that launches and controls the playback of a certain playlist? In other words, I don't want to have to turn BubbleUPnP on and choose a certain playlist prior to using one of the existing widgets.

Many thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. I'm not sure I understand exactly the problem as when browsing, there are just folders and items, no m3u. Can you say what is your media server and exactly how you play these items.

2. No as the playback buttons of the widget control the content of the Playlist tab, aka the playback queue
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP 1.6.10 will be shortly available on Google Play:

1.6.10

support for playing "All Access" tracks. For All Access tracks part of a Google Music playlist to be playable, the track must be part of your Google Music library

better buffering when the local renderer is using its own decoders (FLAC on older Android, ALAC, WAV, LPCM) to avoid potential audio skips

the local media server "Filesystem" folder now lists and loads supported playlist file formats (m3u and many others) as folders

added Settings > Local Media Server > Allowed remote clients, to specify clients that can remotely browse based on ip address

added Settings > Now Playing > Scale cover to fit > On (Keep aspect ratio). Will scale cover to fit to width or height, keeping aspect ratio

"Show metadata" context menu action on a video item now shows long description sent by some media servers (for example, movie summary)

Display > Show track numbers now apply everywhere a track title is displayed (Now Playing, notification, widget)

Display > Show thumbnails doesn't show the "no cover" image in Library when disabled (makes more room for the title on super small screens)

added UPnP search query listing all tracks whose artist match the query string

trim additional whitespace between words in UPnP search queries (useful with some custom keyboards adding extra whitespace)

the local media server "Filesystem" folder lists .mpo files (associated to image/mpo)

workarounded again Xbox 360 100% volume bug on track change, hopefully for good this time

fixed UPnP device discovery not working with bluetooth network connectivity (tethering) and failure to fetch devices from BubbleUPnP Server on bluetooth

fixed " and ' characters not displayed correctly on some renderers (T+A, Pioneer)

fixed some Sony BDP devices not listing BubbleUPnP as a media server in all media sections

fixed local media server "Filesystem" folder not listing some subfolders in some cases

fixed a few crashes

other minor changes

I think the most recent 1.6.9.1 update broke compatibility with my Sony SMP-N200 renderer; it is no longer detected. I'm using BubbleUPnP on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 with 4.1.2 OS. What can I do to troubleshoot this? For instance, how do I force a re-Detect Devices sweep? I've been closing and re-opening the program but I don't know if that was re-doing the network (UPnP/DLNA?) search.

UPDATE: I just saw that there's a new 1.6.10 version and it seems to have fixed the issue. It also triggered a fresh Detect Devices sweep, which may have been the issue all along?
[Android Apps and Games] Aqua1ung:
Lemme see if I can describe it differently: I have a folder that contains various files, among which FLAC files and .m3u files. I add the whole folder to my playing list. As a result, the playlist shows a bunch of .flac files (as it should), as well as .m3u files (as it should not). My request: please add only the .flac files to the playlist, not the .m3u files.

What I need is a shortcut on the "desktop" that, when clicked, launches playback of a certain playlist from wherever it left off. Is that so hard to do? I was thinking of doing that with Tasker, though I can see how others might benefit from this, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to incorporate this "functionality" into BubbleUPnP as well.

Can't See Files?

Hey Guys

I have been tearing my hair out trying to get this to work properly. I'm running BubbleUPnP Server on my Ubuntu 11.10 server and having no problems connecting to it and browsing folders.

I am however having trouble seeing any files in those folders, they just don't appear. Sometimes I can see the album art for one or two folders but other than that there is nothing.

I have checked the permissions on the folders and even given one album 777 permissions but still nothing.

Would be awesome to get this working so I can stream my music.

Hi bubbleguuum,

Thanks, I just updated.

When you say it must be part of your library you mean uploaded?

I could play uploaded music even before this update, so I don't understand.

I was hoping "All access" support means play all songs whether uploaded or not.

Maybe I am missing something? Could you clarify please?

Thanks

Update:

OK, so probably won't play until I actually upload it to my library. Like I said earlier playing uploaded tracks already worked before, hence my confusion with current update.

Would be great if it is possible to make un-uploaded tracks to play too.

BTW, I get this error when i try to play tracks that are not uploaded but are visible in the playlist:
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I agree the wording is not crystal clear.

- For All Access music that you added to your music collection (eg that appear in Google Music > Albums), there is no problem playing it

- For All Access tracks that are part of a Google Music playlist (eg that appear in Google Music > Playlist), some of these tracks may not play if they were added to a playlist without being added to your Google Music Library (as All Access tracks). In short, playlist track must reference a track that is in your Google Music library.

It is not easy to describe because I have not access myself to the All Access service and I don't know how the UI looks like to add All Access tracks to playlists. If you only add in playlists tracks of your Google Music collection (whether uploaded or All Access) you should not have a problem playing them.

Tabs at the bottom dissapear

I'm not sure if this is intended or not, but whenever I perform a search (using WMP or Twonky) the tabs at the bottom dissapear (now playing/playlist/library/devices), and will only come back after clicking the back button. It's a bit annoying.
