Playback problem since last update

I have been using Bubbleupnp for several years and was always very satisfied. I use a Samsung S6 and streame music (FLAC) from a Synolgy NAS (with Synology media server) to a DENON receiver.

Since the last update, the music playback stopps after a few seconds. You can see on the display of the DENAON that the buffer falls from 100% to 30% and finally the music completely breaks off. The interesting thing is when you close the app, the music suddenly continues.

Where is the problem? Will the problem be fixed in the next update?

Synolgoy's (DS Audio) app lets you play music without problems.

Thanks for a quick help.

credentials for media server

I have used BubbleUpNP for years now, but now I am not able to play music from my NAS (Twonky). There used to be a page to enter the NAS settings, including credentials, but I cannot find it anymore. I always used an IP-address without portnumber and my own credentials. I just removed the app from my phone and reinstalled, but now I cannot even find my NAS anymore.

What has changed?

BubbleUPnP server seen on 1 client only

Hi,

I set up BubbleUPnP server on my Synology NAS (DS415+). It runs ok, I got up 2 OpenHome Renderers and connected them with Lumin and Kazoo apps on my iOS device. Everything went well, but the problem began when I tried to reach renderers from her devices: they are not seen. I tried my wife's iOS device with Lumin and Kazoo apps and my Mac with Kazoo app and it didn't work. Is this some kind of limitation? All 3 devices are in the same LAN as I do not enable web-access.

Can you help somehow? Is this a bug?

Best regards,

Andrzej Browarski

Any idea why I can't get audio cast to work on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A (SM-T585)? It works with the same renderers on two other devices.

I can turn on the audio cast switch and it seems to be connected, but I don't hear anything.

Same problem here with Synolgy NAS. I hope this can be solved. Already sent log file.

0.9-update23 mov conversion on mac

Hello,

I am running 0.9-update23 on mac. Video conversion works fine except mov conversion. Anytime the video container contains mov (can be .mov or mov in .avi) video conversion fails and I get audio only. Is there any way to correct this behavior - possible ffmpeg upgrade or something like that...?

KR,

Issue with Twonky

If I try to stream from my PC using Twonky my Android's Bubble client shows only "all songs" - category. I've disabled that from Twonky, the only selection that is available is Folders. This problem occured today. What has happened? My streamer amp shows only the folders- option and is working correctly with Twonky. So the problem is only with the android client.

Hello

Any chance to change the color subtitles to yellow?

Many thanks for your great work

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Color of subtitles can only be changed when playing to a Chromecast or Google Cast device. In which case, go to the Now Playing tab, tap the 'speech bubble' icon and select 'Appearance'.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP displays whatever folders Twonky returns to it. Check the Twonky web's config. Especially the profiles section and make sure Twonky is sending its full tree (I do not remember the exact wording but it has simplified browse trees and the full browse tree).

I am quite new to broadcasting.

On my computer I run windows, I installed Kodi and enabled a folder of videos shared through UPNP.

On my android device, running android 6 and bubble, I see the shared folder from Kodi under ''lecteur local'', then I go to the folder of the video and start playing a video, but the video plays on the computer and the phone is like a remote, controlling the play, pause, the skip...

I can even play videos from the phone to the computer, within Bubble.

how do I watch the videos from the computer on the phone ?
[Android Apps and Games] jmath07:
I experienced the battery drain again yesterday. I don't believe the pause function was the culprit. Here is the series of events, let me know if I can get you logs somehow.

Played a SoundCloud track to my UPnP renderer on my linux machine

The SoundCloud track finished, then I played an album from the library on my linux machine

The music finished. I did not open the app for a few hours

After a few hours, I noticed the battery drain. I opened BubbleUPnp to see that my selected renderer had somehow changed to the Local Renderer on my phone. At this point I hit the stop button, just to make sure it wasn't paused. I hadn't been playing anything on the local renderer, and the linux renderer had finished its playlist so it should've been in stop state as well.

My phone battery continued draining all night, until I force stopped BubbleUPnP this morning.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is not technically possible for BubbleUPnP to control subtitle appearance on any other device than Chromecast.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
'lecteur local' (or 'local renderer' in english) refers to your Android device as the playback device. If you want to play a video locally, you have to select 'lecteur local' in the 'Lecteurs' section of the top side menu to make 'lecteur local' active. Then play a video and BubbleUPnP will ask for an external video player app (MX Player, VLC, ...).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=5260018]jmath07[/MENTION]

Thank you for the detail report. The method used by BubbleUPnP to determine if it must kill itself (eg if it determines it is not actively doing something for a period of time. Properly detecting that in all cases is surprisingly not trivial at all) has probably some edge cases where it is not working. In particular if for whatever reason (network issue, renderer bug notifying its state) it thinks a renderer is playing while it is not.

Even if automatic 'kill on inactivity' now work in most cases, it is still a good idea to manually exit the app (Menu > Exit) when you are done using the app.

Whenever possible (and for long BubbleUPnP use), I suggest plugging your phone to power cable.

Hi.

Running the current version of bubble on Android 6.0.1 client with a windows media server music library.

I can't seem to get an album to play songs in the correct order. The songs appear in the players in the correct order but playing them has the play cursor jumping around in apparent random order - I can't see a pattern.

Any tips on what to try to get the songs to play in the order of the play list?

Thanks.

It happened in my first post on a LG Gpad 8.3 with Lineage OS. Right now it happens also on a Nexus 7 tablet with AOSP 7.1.1, see screenshot. It happens when WiFi connection to all libraries fails for any reason and the devices own library is not activated.

Is there a detailed set-up video/how-to for getting from the tablet to the TV via BubbleUPnP transcoding? I'm getting [play] on the tablet, but I can't seem to go from kodi on the tablet to the TV *scratching head*

The chromecast shows up on the PC [MEDIA RENDERERS] list. Should I also checkbox [CREATE A DLNA RENDERER]

Thanks-in-advance :)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Problem reproduced and fixed in next update.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This feature is for local playback over a mobile (or non home WiFi) connection using BubbleUPnP Server and its goal is to reduce bandwidth. That's why is uses mp3. Why would you want FLAC ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
To share video from Kodi to Android BubbleUPnP you need to configure Kodi with a custom playercorefactory.xml. You may want to Google it for more info.
[Android Apps and Games] :
unlimited cell plan & lossless
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Then disable transcoding to play your files as is:

set 'Settings > Network and settings > Mobile max bitrate' to 'Disabled'.
[Android Apps and Games] :
DSP chain too. (EQ then LoudMax)

(stream uncompressed realy too much)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
OK, I see.

In BubbleUPnP Server's web config, in the 'Settings > Advanced' you could enable 'Transcode high-res audio to 44.1/16 or 48/16 FLAC'.

The thing is that it will work only for audio > 48 kHz and/or 24 bit. If you configure the DSP chain to met this condition it should work.

I assume you use foo_upnp in foobar2000 as media server ?
[Android Apps and Games] :
foo_upnp in foobar2000

YES

ok i'll try. Thank you.

resampler (only) doesn't work in that case.

stream going with source (file's) rate and depth. (DSP chain working, due to FX)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Do you mean you cannot use a resampler in your chain for final output ?

Just upping bitdepth from 16 to 24 would work too (without resampling).

Also when you make changes in your DSP chain, make sure to reload the folder containing tracks in Android BubbleUPnP (restart the app, or 3 dot menu > Reload).

Setup: Bubble server 0.9u23 running on Win7, Bubble app 2.8.8p1 running on Samsung Galaxy Note 4

There's been no changes to my entire setup but the last couple of weeks, all of a sudden Bubble stops playing mid-track to a DLNA device (Chromecast, Sonos) and shows an empty playlist where there had been a full album. Anyone else see this behavior? I should note this doesn't happen every time, and it seems to happen either during or just after the first track of a playlist.

Annoying unintended playback again

Hi,

any news on that issue? Things got even worse. I established a multiroom audio system now using snapcast. Thererfore I have a BubbleUPNP OpenHome renderer which is called "Multiroom". Everything works fine until you stop playback to that renderer because afterwards every single room renderer plays its former playlist unintended served by BubbleUPNP server. That's really not usable because you then have to stop each renderer by hand and clear the playlist.

I've been using BubbleUPNPserver for years now but that makes it more and more unusable for me.

After starting my bubbleupnp android app the server on windows is NOT seen (chromecast transcoding is grayed-out).

After I restart the bubbleupnp server on windows via the web interface my still running android

bubbleupnp app instantly recognizes the server, the transcoding isn't grayed out anymore

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=7125384]Mr. Odd[/MENTION]

This is likely caused by another UPnP/DLNA control point issuing commands to BubbleUPnP as a renderer. Most likely "Stop" command.

This has the effect to clear the Playlist tab as BubbleUPnP expects to be remotely controlled.

Do you happen to have JRiver Media Center running on your network (I suspect it to cause this) ?

You should be to workaround this issue by disabling 'Settings > Local Renderer > Allow remote control'

Cover Art Shows Differently Depending On Library View

I'm having an issue seeing cover art in certain views of my local library. Phone is Samsung S7, latest version of app installed. Here are the differences:

Select: Library >> Music >> Albums - Only a few recent albums have cover art showing. Select: 'Show Metadata' for an album >> Covert Art --> Error downloading image from server

Select: External SD Card >> Music >> subfolder (arranged in genre) >> album title - Cover art shows. I can play the album and then the art shows in Now Playing and Playlist views.

The cover art is embedded somewhere, just not showing in Library view. I'm wondering if there is a way to recover it? thanks
[Android Apps and Games] msssm:
Hi, for podcasts and livestreams at home, I have a local media-server at home providing that. Leaving home while playing the streams seem to continue while switching to mobile connection, but and restart via mobile connection doesn't work of course as the local media server is not available. As for the single radio live-streams I could just copy those to my local bookmarks. But for the podcasts that are daily refreshed on the media-server that does not work. Is there any way for bubble-upnp to keep any RSS-Feeds with Podcasts as bookmark? Afaik it is only supported to parse certain supported websites

However this one should be supported, adding that URL as stream, BubbleUPnP starts to download 2 required files but always fails.
[Android Apps and Games] ox_eye:
Hi all,

I am using BubbleUPnP on my rooted Android 6.0.1 Tablet. Before I used it on a tablet with Xposed Framwork and everything worked fine. But on my new tablet all renderers are able to play videos from tablet but also all are stopping after 5 minutes.

WiFi option in standy is on. Also i put the App into the white list of battery management.

Can it be, that the app stops because the tablet goes into deep standby? Something I can do?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
In the first case, BubbleUPnP gets album art from the Android media store database. Sometimes its info is incomplete or points to non existing files, including album art.

You may want to rebuild this database to force a rescan by 'clearing data' for the "Media Storage" app (in Android settings > Apps > 3 dot menu > Show system. Then reboot for a rescan to be performed and wait for a while until it completes.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
A possible solution would be to access your home media server on a mobile connection via BubbleUPnP Server. That way you can access your home media server provided podcasts list on the go like you would at home.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Please give more details:

- what Library (media server) is holding the video

- to what renderer are you playing to

You can try to force the screen to stay on to test if the problem could possibly be that the tablet goes into a low WiFi

perf mode when the screen goes off (although BubbleUPnP tells the system to prevent that, but some ROMs will do whatever

they want in the end).
[Android Apps and Games] ox_eye:
The Videos are on the tablet itself. As renderer I am using Kodi on Fire TV or my Grundig TV which is able to find the tablet.
[Android Apps and Games] rcaudio:
That worked beautifully, thanks a million. After about a half hour it rebuilt 1000+ albums on my SD card. All but a few showed art; strangely at least one of the "no art" albums had it before. I selected my SD card from the Library view, drilled down to the album, did 'Reload', back out to 'Music' in Library view, did another 'Reload', back into Library view and voila, have all my art. I don;t know if these extra reloads did it or time but all is fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] ox_eye:

I tried with keep my tablet on all time. Then its working with no problems.

I've been having the same issue..tried different network hardware to no avail.

Streaming Tidal Hifi through RPi3 results in random stuttering and restarting of songs. This only occurs in the first 10-20 seconds of the track.

I'm emailing a log file. Hopefully that helps find the issue.

BTW I don't have this issue with streaming 24bit 192khz from my NAS through Minimserver so it's not a bandwidth issue of my LAN.

Also I don't have any stuttering issues with the Tidal program on my windows laptop.

So I think I've ruled everything out except the BubbleUPnP implementation.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Try forcing proxying in 'Settings > Local and Cloud > Use proxy'.

Do you have this issue playing to the local renderer ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Looks like your ROM is doing something to WiFi when the screen goes off.

Look into the devices settings if you can find a related option.

Also double check that a battery saving root app (eg Greenify and others) you may have installed is not interfering.
[Android Apps and Games] ox_eye:
Yes, I think you are right. I have no battery root app installed. And in the WiFi options I can only make the options to leave WiFi on during standby.

Any other idea what I can try?

I have similar question: stock android (starting with 4.4 I believe?) plays at 48kHz. Is music played through bubbleupnp (CD quality 44.1kHz) upsampled to 48 or is it bitperfect? I tip on first one, since you probably would need non generic drivers for devices DAC otherwise?

Firstly I wanted to say thanks for a great app, I've been using BubbleUPnP for a while now to stream music from my phone to my PS4 (through the PS4 Media Player app).

A little while ago, a strange issue started whereby any folders or tracks from BubbleUPnP would show up on the PS4's Media Player as preceded by what appears to be a binary representation of folder/track numbers.

It appears my post count doesn't yet allow me to post images to demonstrate, but this proceeds through all folders, albums, track titles - the only list unaffected appears to be the artists list, which displays normally without the numbers before each one.

I suspected this was something to do with the PS4 Media Player initially, and indeed that may still be the case; however I browsed my Plex installation through the Media Player app and that doesn't appear to exhibit the same issue. The folders and track titles show only text with no preceding numbering.

Has anyone encountered this issue, and if so, are there any steps I can take to correct it? I've tried various BubbleUPnP settings including 'Library -> Track number' on/off, however even after a re-sync with GPM and a restart of the Media Player, the issue persists.

Thanks in advance :)
