oops ... since it's seen in bubble as renderer i just supposed it beeing a upnp-device. ok tks. Just to find out whether or not cromecast ist suitable for my needs: what kind of renderer is chromecast?

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------

errormsg is, that upnp-ports are possibly in use by other app. bubble is automatically shut down. and yes, restarting the tablet works, but no, there are no other apps in use before i start bubble ... checked via appmgr and stopped all apps and widgets (useless, restart of tablet is reqired).

when i disable wlan after getting the error msg, bubble starts with no error but ... as expected ... only displays local renderer and server. enabling wlan now doesn't bring back network capabilities for bubble. restarting bubble again produces error msg and shutdown of bubble.

cheers, ot

I sent you a PM with a link to my log. Would a logcat also help?

Thanks!

Just a quick note. I tested several other 3rd party apps that I know haven't been updated since the release of Chromecast Audio and they all seem to cast just fine to it. I can't imagine this being a tough fix.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'm on it and will have probably a fixed version later today, thanks to your log.

The issue comes from the fact that unlike most other apps (except maybe Youtube), BubbleUPnP detects Google Cast devices via

SSDP rather than mDNS, and makes a few assumptions that proves wrong for Chromecast Audio devices.

Fixed as well is the failure to play to Chromecast Audio (thanks kundica).

Share from Google Music - wrong track order on OpenHome renderers

When I share an album, radio station, or playlist from Google Music to BubbleUPnP, the tracks get added in reverse order to OpenHome renderers. I have tried both the BubbleUPnP's local OpenHome renderer and with MPD on Voumio, with the same results. Non-OpenHome renderers get the tracks added in the correct order. I have tried this with BubbleUPnP 2.5.1.2 and 2.5.2p2 on two different devices.

Displaying composer and album artist on BubbleUpNp

Hello bubbleguuum, i,ve just realized that when i tab a song on bubbleupnp on android to show metadata i can not see the composer and neither the album artist (If the artist, albumartist and composer is the same person)

E.G.

Artist=Foy Vance

Album Artist= Foy Vance

Composer= Foy Vance

I used to have the setting on minimserver properties when i could see all the above but since i reinstalled the minimserver on synology and lost the settings (didn't make any backup of those) so i don't remember what commands i had on the settings. I have posted on minimforum about this issue and Simon thought that this appears to be a BubbleUPnP issue. MinimServer is sending all these values but BubbleUPnP is only displaying the Artist value.

But if i have defferent names on tags E.G.

Artist=Foy Vance

Album Artist= Various

Composer= Foster

then all three appears on "show metadata". MinimServer is sending all three values to BubbleUPnP but BubbleUPnP is only displaying the Artist value (when all three values are the same). This is not related to MinimServer settings.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks Dimman_S

Default or Preferred Renderer

Is there a way to set a default or preferred renderer? My music is stored on a shared folder on my PC and my renderer of choice is my Denon AVR. When I load Bubble after having everything turned off I have to chose the renderer again. Is there a way to keep my Denon AVR selected as the renderer even after it is turned off?
[Android Apps and Games] MisterWooster:
Hi - not sure if this has been flagged in previous pages or not, but my install of BubbleUPnP on Android (Nexus 6, Android 5.1.1), has stopped seeing my Chromecast (firmware 1.15.38401) altogether.

I've done multiple restarts of both devices, and reinstalled the app from a fresh download from the Play store.

Any advice?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Wouldn't be totally surprised it is due to some Sony app squatting UDP port 1900.

Normally this is not a problem, except in the case with some rare apps that do not bind properly to this

port, preventing other apps to use it.

Can you install app 'Netstat Plus' (on the Play Store) and check if it lists a running app using port UDP 1900.

If you do not find any, please send me a log file trigerring the popup error (see first post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
When you launch the app, the last renderer that was active is normally auto selected unless it is disabled via 'Setting > Control > Wait for renderer on startup' or if the renderer cannot be discovered within 20 seconds.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This is how I intended it to work: Composer and Album Artist are not listed if the same than Artist.

[Android Apps and Games] fausto975:
Hello I have the pro version. I have a problem with chromecast and flac files. With the last update (2.5.2) flac files 5.1 (6 ch) playing only in stereo. With the old apk version never problem (transcode in wav 6 ch.). I know that now chromecast support flac file. If chromecast don't support 5.1 flac, it's possible insert an option to transcode anyway flac files in wav lpcm. Thank's.

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Reboot your WiFi router and (if necessary) Android device.

Yes this corner case functionality has been lost. No promise it will come back as it is annoying to handle now that Google Cast devices can natively play FLAC.

OK, I have an observation, and so far this is probably a watch and see if it continues. Every 5 or 6 songs down the playlist, BubbleUPnP on my Samsung tablet forgets the Chromecast Audio. Music stops, and when I flip to BubbleUPnP it says local renderer. I click that a few times and Chromecast Audio sometimes shows up again, or I have to close BubbleUPnP and then when it restarts no problem. I'm going to try controlling from my phone tonight and see if it is a strange behaviour of the tablet only or universal.

Other than that, I really like how the current version sends native FLAC to the Chromecast. I'm ordering a micro-Toslink adapter today so that I can use my own DAC. Also paying for the full license for both my wife and son.

Multiple Genre/Artist Local Media Server tag for mp3/FLAC

I use foobar2000 media server and it is absolutely fantastic and does everything I could ever want and more. However I am not always at home or near a network that I can access that so I have a 128GB card in my phone which I store a ton of music on. Is there any way to get the "local media server" to read tags properly and sort them accordingly in reference to multiple genres and artists. In the foobar media server if I load one and only one song with two genres and two artists on it, that shows up as two distinct and different artists and genres in the library. However, if I put that same song, and only that one song on my phone bubbleupnp only sees one artist and one genre.

Is there a way to get this to work properly?

I use mp3tag to create/edit the tags on my files and as far as I can tell it actually adds multiple genre and artist fields in the id3 tag.

thanks

I will first say that I have loved BubbleUpnp server ever since I started using it. I use it with foobar to play Tidal music.

About two days ago I started getting an error when selecting the "albums" under an artist on my android app. Everything loads fine up until then but then I get a "400 bad request" message and I can't access albums on Tidal.

I have the latest versions of everything...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yup this error is new and I'm looking into it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I still haven't received my Chromecast Audio to do extensive testing.

The issue you describe would happen if Google Play Services lose the connection to the Chromecast and

notify BubbleUPnP about it or if the WiFi connection of the Android device drops intermittently (even just a few seconds).

If you can reproduce this issue, can you send me a log file up to the point the connection is lost (see first post of this topic for instructions) ?

Media Server Download naming

I am using the download function to download music off of a media server but under the "download" section of the settings there is no way to set how the files are named when they are downloaded. The same file gets named and placed in different locations depending on how it was found or searched for. Is there a way to set the naming convention properly. I was hoping the "preserve folder structure" would do this but it does not. It is very silly having the same file loaded on the phone in multiple places...not to mention it takes up unnecessary space.

Example, I have a genre called Bens Hits (songs I like I put in this genre). Some of these songs are from the ACDC album Back In Black. I also really like to hear that entire album sometimes but not all those songs are on my Bens Hits genre. Using BubbleUPnP I "downloaded" all of Bens Hits and then copied some full albums I wanted on my phone as well including Back in Black. When downloading BubbleUPnp created a filetree that looks like this:

"Folder-->Bens Hits-->songname (01 - Hells Bells.mp3)

AND ALSO

"Albums-->AC_DC - Back In Black - 1980-->songname (01 - Hells Bells.mp3)

Hence it is in two places at once.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Ben
[Android Apps and Games] Note10.1Dude:
Thanks,

This was stable from my phone yesterday, so I am taking a wait and see. I'll spend some more time using the tablet over the weekend - it could easily be that my tablet is dropping off wifi at times.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Tracks in album folders (that is folders that BubbleUPnP displays with the album header) are downloaded under the "Albums" folder.

Standalone tracks not in album folders go into the "Folders" folder, in a subfolder having the same name than the folder they come from.

There is no plan to change that. Download folder structure pretty much mirrors the structure of your media server.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP uses the metadata extracted by the Android media scanner. It has some limitation (in particular it doesn't handle 'album artist'. Not sure about tags with multiple values).

If you have more complex needs, use a full blown local music player with its own scanner such as Poweramp or GoneMAD.

BubbleUPnP Not Useful Without Folder View

BubbleUPnP does not add much to the raw stream I get from my home server.

I have my media files on folders on external hard-drive linked to my Windows laptop in my study. I watch the media on the big screen in my lounge. My raw stream offers me the option to browse (no search) according to 'date' or 'all'. With either option, I just get a scambled list of files that totally ignores my Windows folders. Episodes of a series appear in different parts of the list. It is a mess.

I used to own a Blackberry tablet and an Apple iPad. With both devices there was an app which allowed me to view my Windows folders on my mobile device and playback accordingly.

I bought BubblePnP because I thought it would give me the same access to my Windows folder system but all it does is replicate the same mess as my raw stream. I can only browse (no search) according to 'date' or 'all'. There is an option in BubbleUPnP to create playlists but I have nearly 4TB of media and thousands of files and it would take too long to browse through the chaos to find all the episodes of a series so I can play them back in the right order.

The only way I can play my media in the way I want to play it, is to copy my Windows folders to an sd-card and playback from the card. BubblePnP lets me link the sd-card to my big screen but I feel it is a 'botched job' rather than a real solution.

I was happy to pay for the app because I like supporting creative people and, honestly, Android apps are dirt cheap so there's no excuse for not buying. I will re-purchase and pay a premium if the developer(s?) can give me access to my Windows folders on my Android devices. If Blackberry and Apple can do this, I see no reason why Android cannot since they all use essentially the same language (or so I was told - I'm no expert). Surely I am not the only user who wants this option? I think there's a market for it. If the option already exists on BubblePnP (or some other Android app) then please tell me because I haven't found it yet.

Many thanks!

I've just bought this app, I thought it was great until finding out that it doesn't work properly with my setup: android, tidal and amplituner onkyo tx-nr509. Best quality that I could obtain with this config is AAC320kbps, although I have tidal hifi and it plays well in the app with local renderer. Also my private FLAC collection is played streamed properly to onkyo. Only Tidal stream creates problems. I've tried to adjust settings inside of the app (transcoding is off, etc.) but nothing helped. Please advise.

Me too! The v2.5.1.2 I still have on another (tablet) device sees my chromecast fine. The 2.5.2 (earlier this week) 'lost' the chromecast. Today's release (2.5.3) also fails to show the chromecast.

I have restarted the device running 2.5.2/2.5.3 (slim-4.4.4-build.9.0-OFFICIAL-8282 on an SCH-I545), the wireless access point, the chromecast(current firmware), and FDR reset chromecast several times.

I'm having problems playing any local network files (other than pictures, which work fine) using any Local Renderer on my device. Flinging to my Smart TV works fine, I just can't play any network music or video files directly on my phone. I've tried the default video player, MX player, ES Media player, and the only thing that happens is the blue loading circle just spins forever. Videos/music stored directly on my phone work normally.

I have multiple DLNA servers around the house (Serviio on 2 different computers, WD My Cloud, Netgear r7000 router), and the problem persists when using any of them.

I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling the app, MX player, and various other apps to see if it would make a difference but nothing helps.

What bugs me is it used to work fine using Local Renderer, but now it just doesn't work anymore. I barely use local renderer anyway, but one day recently I tried to use it and now it's bugging the hell out of me that it doesn't work. I have no idea when it stopped working.

Everything is working fine and normally on a cheap RCA Voyager tablet that I have, which makes me guess that it's not a router/network issue. Both versions of BubbleUpnp are 2.5.2 (edit- I just updated to 2.5.3 and the problem still persists), and I've went step by step through each device to make sure the settings are identical to one another

The phone is a stock/unrooted Sprint Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900P, using Android 5.0

I'm a licensed user of the app.

I'm at a total loss of where to go from here. I'd rather not factory default my phone if it is avoidable at all.

Please help..?

Send me a log file attempting to play a TIDAL track to your Onkyo (see first post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
also [MENTION=6984154]MisterWooster[/MENTION]

Since v2.5.2, the app detects Chromecast via Google Play Services, which the standard way used by most cast apps. Google Play Services does the detection via multicast DNS (mDNS) and notify the app. In previous versions, Bubble detected Chromecast itself via SSDP discovery (which is also used to detect UPnP/DLNA devices), but it could not be used to handle Chromecast Audio.

If BubbleUPnP does't detect your Chromecast, other apps should not see it as well (except maybe Youtube, a special case).

If rebooting the devices (including the router and switches if any) doesn't fix it, this is not a good sign.

You can still send me a log file logging the first minute or so after app startup (see first post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It looks more like a problem of the video player app used. BubbleUPnP just pass it the stream URL to it.

In MX Player, you can try various decoding engines (S/W, H/W, H/W+) to see if it makes a difference.

If you switch engines make sure to exit MX Player and BubbleUPnP to test the new setting.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You need a proper media server such as Serviio to index your media. It will also allow to browse the folder structure.

BubbleUPnP crashes frequently after update to last version

Hello. After last update BubbleUPnP there is problem with application crash during streaming Tidal music to foobar2000 renderer. The same problem is with streaming to JRiver renderer. After selecting track for playback application user interface disappears and user is returned to Android home screen but playback starts correctly on background despite of this error. This happens approximately with 30% probability. Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Android 5.0 stock ROM.

EDIT: I realized that this problem is not limited only for TIDAL streaming. The same problem is with streaming from Synology Media Server to foobar200 or JRiver renderer where BubbleUPnP acts as control point.
