Scrobbling on Open Home Renderer

I've detected an issue with scrobbling on an OpenHome Renderer.

If I play music on my SG2 or Galaxy Tab2 to the local renderer or the "normal" renderer of my stereo, everything works as expected with scrobbling and last.fm.

If I create an OpenHome renderer with Bubbleupnp server on my stereo and play music to this renderer, scrobbling only works for the first track, or the first track after stopping and restarting playback. If I skip a song or the next song in the playlist begins, scrobbling doesn't recognize there is a next song. Tested it with the official last.fm app and simple last.fm scrobbler, both apps same behaviour.

Can only seek once on transcoded .mkv video

Bubbleguum, first off thanks for the effort to get chromecast to work with bubbleupnp! I purchased

a license as small token of appreciation, and because I am going to love the chromecast setup.

Here is my small problem with v1.8.1 and 0.8.1 server. When I play a transcoded .mkv file I can seek

_once_. The player performs that seek correctly, but at that point there is no longer a blue position/seek

bar, and the remaining time is no longer displayed. (I attached a screen shot)

The android app works and seeks fine at every .avi, .wmv, and .mp4 files in need of transcoding (usually

because the have ac3 audio)

I also attached a log file from the server. I played the video about 35 seconds, then seeked to about 19:09.

Thanks for the work and support!

This is driving me nuts

My apologies if this has been asked and answered before, but a thread search turned up nothing. I'm sure this is a simple issue I'm having, but I haven't been able to figure it out because I'm 98.96% retarded when it comes to networking. I downloaded BubbleUPnP Server for my windows 7 box, and since installing it, I have been getting these errors when running an Internet Connectivity Test from the status page:

HTTP: ERROR: external server performing test returned error: Illegal character in authority at index 7: http ://[ip redacted] :58050/res/connectiontest

HTTPS: ERROR: external server performing test returned error: Illegal character in authority at index 8: https ://[ip redacted] :58051/res/connectiontest

Is this a router issue I'm having, or does it have to do with Java?

I've got a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH router, and I'm running Java 1.7.0

Edit: Just as an FYI, I've made sure that the ports are opened on my router.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Known issue, now understood and fixed in the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There shoudn't be a space after [ip redacted].

This should normally not happen if you did not set your ip/hostname manually.

In the Network and security web page, did you enter manually your ip ?

In either case, remove any extra space in the public ip/hostname field, then hit the "Apply" button and the connection test should be successful (assuming the required ports are opened)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, for OpenHome renderers, scrobbling should be implemented in BubbleUPnP Server and that's not the case. No plan to add it currently.
[Android Apps and Games] TheTractorGuy:
I went to the Network and Security tab, and clicked "default" for the public host name. It's working now. I don't know how that happened, as I didn't modify that field to begin with, but whatever happened, that fixed it. Thank you very much :good:
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Great! I've modified BubbleUPnP Server to remove any surrounding space to avoid this happen again.

issues with firmware update on WNDR3700

bubbleupnp was working fine for me up until i upgraded my Netgear WNDR3700v2's firmware last night to V1.0.1.14. Now it still connects to the media server but it only displays a partial list of my library. i have two android devices that are running bubbleupnp and both show the same incomplete library listing.

Hello,

First off, love the hard work you've put into this app. This is what I use.

Media server running XBMC 13.1 (Gotham) with SPDIF passthrough to Logitech Z-5500 5:1 speaker set.

Nexus 7 tablet running a rooter rom, Xposed and the full version of Bubble UPNP.

I've been using Bubble UPNP and MX Player to stream video files from the media server to the tablet without problems for the past months. But now I want to stream Spotify from the tablet to XBMC. I can't get this done. I've rooted the tablet, enabled Xposed, selected XBMC as the render, local library as the library, but it just doesn't play.

When I change the codec in BubbleUPNP from Auto or LCPM to WAV, it does play (I can see the source being played on xbmc), but it produces a horrible noise. With Auto or LCPM, it just doesn't play at all. I've mailed you the error log.

Any clue what's wrong? Any setting I've missed?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
XBMC 13 beta is totally broken with WAV and LPCM streaming. With 12.3 it works perfectly.

Hey guys,

First of all, thanks for making Bubbleupnp server, I bought the premium version a while ago.

I bought a new Netgear RN10200 NAS and tried to install the Debian package on the NAS, but the UI says: bubbleupnp succesfully installed, but then nothing happens and bubbleupnp doesn't show up in the NAS.

What can be a fix?

Just to check, regarding subtitles on Chromecast, any limitations on the languages support, and if so, what/where is the bottleneck? Media server, bubbleupnp server, or something fixable in future update?

Serviio, BubbleUpnp server, Chromecast, Nexus 5.

English embedded/external subs work fine, but simplified Chinese subs fail to load, with an error toast.

How should external subs be named for multi-language support? The usual *.en.srt/*.chs.srt doesn't seem to work - library listing says subs not available until I name one of them to be exactly the same as video filename.

Serviio itself under the Delivery/Subtitles tab has an option to extract subs embedded in video files - should that be enabled in regards to Chromecast? Does the character encoding field has anything to do with the chinese subs failing?

Sorry for all the questions, trying to get this setup going hehe.
[Android Apps and Games] mcondor:
solid update

I really gave this the wringer for the last hour or two - tossing every ill behaved video at it,

and it performed flawlessly.

Multiple seeking works fine.

Only thing I noticed, and it may be due to the infrastructure of all the interconnects and

the trascoder, is that sometimes after seeking it may take 3-5 seconds for the audio to

start after the video. BUT the audio is is perfect sync, so this is NOT a real problem.

Thanks for the quick update - for my fairly generic DLNA setup - I think everything is perfect.

Manual External Subtitle

First of all, I can't say how amazing this app is! it is one the apps you never regret paying for. It works flawlessly on my Chromecast and transcodes almost every video file I've fed to it; local and streaming :)

I have a request that would make the app much more awesome and I'm pretty sure many people would find it useful.

My request is the ability to manually select the subtitle file for a movie instead of having to rename it in a certain way. The way I watch my movies is I stream them online and they usually don't have subtitles embedded into them. They're not locally stored so I can't put an .srt file next to them. It would be great to be able to manually assign an .srt file to the currently playing file. I don't think it's a hard function to implement as the developer has already shown us how talented he is!

One way of doing it, for example, is to give the option to always show a subtitle icon at the top of the currently playing video, and it gives the user the option either to use the embedded subtitle (if available) or "external subtitle..." that calls a standard file picker and then once the file is picked, use it with the currently playing video file.

I hope the developer implements this feature because it will allow me to use Chromecast to watch all my movies, local or cloud based.

Thanks!

Itunes from Synology NAS

Is it possible to play music from my itunes library from my Synology NAS via Bubbleupnp?

I can do it from my PC and other applications can do it from my NAS. I love the app but am getting very frustrated with this.

Please help
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Both of these app are not supported by Audio Cast.

For XiiaLive you can use direct intergration (see Settings > About / Help > Tips > Interacting with other apps
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, I've already thought about adding something like that and probably will.
[Android Apps and Games] wdm79:
where can I find a list of applications compatible with Audio Cast?

XiiaLive now it works ... thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What is the error toast message ?

Moreover the current font used for subtitles is missing glyphs for Chinese, Hebrew, Arabic and a few other languages. I need to fix that.

Subtitle naming is media server dependent but BubbleUPnP doesn't support multiple srt sent by the media servers currently (provided the media server sends them all which is another story).

For subtitles copied to the BubbleUPnP/subtitles directory, only 1 srt is supported per video and must be named <video title>.srt.

Multiple subtitles are supported embedded in MKV, independently of the media server.

You can do it (and it will work independently of BubbleUPnP subtitles features) but this should really be the last resort as it will force an unneeded video transcode to burn the sub. It may even cause a double transcode (BubbleUPnP Server) if Serviio produce an incompatible video.The better solution is that we find why these subs fail for you and make it work so everyone can benefit.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Most work with Audio Cast. The notable ones that do not are: Tunein, XiiaLive, GoneMAD Music Player.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP doesn't know anything about your itunes library on your Synology NAS, unless the UPnP media server running on your NAS expose it to the app. If it doesn't appear, then no.
[Android Apps and Games] Hughkinloch:
Itunes from Synology NAS

Thanks for your reply.

Bubbleupnp can see the itunes library but it will not play them. It will play the same files from my PC (as a server). The Pioneer app (which is not very good) will play them from the Synology.

.h264 10-bit profile

Let me first say, awesome job with the app and all the work you've done so far, getting media from my desktop to my big screen has never been easier with bubbleupnp. Bought the app as soon as chromecast was supported :)

Now a question. Just about all my media works well using bubbleupnp for android and the bubbleupnp server on my desktop with a plex server , but .mkvs with 10-bit profiles just show a black screen when they are flung to the chromecast. The sound is coming through fine, even subtitles are showing up fine as well.

I've also been using plex for android, and these videos show up fine, but using bubbleupnp just gives me a black screen. Can bubbleupnp soon support transcoding these types of videos with 10-bit profiles? will be in the future? Thanks again for all your work.
[Android Apps and Games] tom0:
Start additional the media server on the Synology if nothing want work.

The media server works with Bubble.
[Android Apps and Games] wideasleep1:
Forgot to report the latest version fixed the Google sync issue! Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
It just says "failed to convert subtitle".

I will wait for your update then. :D

Understood. Based on your previous reply it looks like you might be supporting multiple user chosen srt in future? But I'm not sure how it would work on Chromecast given how it's dependent on what it receives from the media server. Would Bubbleupnp server be able to parse the playing directory of the video file and give the user choice of the available srts in the folder? That would be great. Having to remux subtitles into mkv is time consuming, not to mention most of my files are mp4s. :(

Thanks, I would rather not activate those options yet. Chinese support is mainly for my father in law who enjoys those action movies, but is otherwise lacking in english understanding.

Unable to cast files on DLNA to Chromecast (but local files work)

Bubbleguuum, your work is nothing less than

genius

, it is light years ahead of the misguided rest, like Avia and other similar failures! I'm looking to buy your full version the license, but I cannot make the app send a video to my Chromecasts from any of the DLNA servers I've tried - tvMobili, PS3MS, UMS, and others. BubbleUPnP does successfully send videos from the SD on my Android locally, with .srt subtitle no less (.srt is crucial for me, as I have a disability), but the same exact file when on a DLNA server on a wire-networked PC doesn't play on the Chromecast (BubbleUPnP sees the DLNA server, and the files, plays them locally). The name of the file flickers on the TV for a split second (with the yellow line loading animation), and then disappears. At the same time, BubbleUPnP would cast that video perfectly (.srt and all) from the DLNA to any DLNA renderer in the home.

If I copy the same exact video file, and it's .srt to the local android storage BubbleUPnP casts like magic! I have the BubbleUPnP Server installed on the same PC as TvMobili, the dlna server is visible by the BubbleUPnP Server, I've tried with proxy, without proxy, with the BubbleUPnP Server running and not running, still the same result.

DD-WRT router, UPnP enabled there, all other official Chromecast apps (Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, etc.) cast flawlessly (therefore I don't think it is an issue with my network setup.)

Sorry to bother you with this, I hope you find a moment to respond, and keep up your amazingly high-quality work!
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
Sent as requested.

Hmm....that would still require manual transfer of srt to the phone/tablet being used. Is there anyway to automate that process i.e. bubbleupnp server sees the file, automatically transfer it to the device, then deletes it after playback? Since more srts are relatively small in size anyway, and nearly all srts are stored alongside the video file anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] s44:
Have you made sure multicast (with whatever multicast options DD-WRT has) is enabled? I know it's set off to default in a number of Tomato builds.

Also, IMO Serviio is the best of the servers.

Transcoding Support not found

This app was AMAZING until the most recent update. After updating the app to 1.8.1/1.8.2 and the BubbleUPnP server on Windows 8.1, the app is no longer recognizing transcoding support for me to send to Chromecast. I was able to stream mkv's, avi's, etc from a shared hard drive but can no longer do so.

E-mails from Bubble told me to check my firewall settings but even after turning it off I get nothing...

All that I've read says that there are no additional settings needed to be changed for LAN transcoding. HELP! I LOVE this thing and am looking forward to the subtitle options - that would make it the PERFECT app for me.

Thanks for your quick response. I attach the log as requested. For the log I played 1 mp3 file from itunes successfully but it would not play a .m4a file.

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What is the language of these subtitles ? Currently srt in UTF-16 and some other non standard encoding will fail conversion. I'm working on a fix.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Even if you did not get this error, the playlist would stop at the first video because a playlist of videos of is only currently supported playing to an external renderer like a TV.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Discovery issues like theses can be difficult to troubleshoot.

- first, make sure BubbleUPnP Server is really running, by opening its configuration in your web browser

- try rebooting your WiFi router
[Android Apps and Games] ishvar:
is there some other solution or app that can be used to watch a playlist of videos off of the google drive?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's no magic solution for BubbleUPnP to find srt. Either:

- the media server provides it and BubbleUPnP use it. Serviio and Twonky do this. Many media servers are not able to do it at all (Plex, XBMC, ...)

- the video is managed by the local media server: in that case, BubbleUPnP will detect a srt if there is one with the expected naming whether the file is stored locally or the cloud

- there is srt that was put manually in the BubbleUPnP/subtitles folder with the expected naming

- the subs are embedded in the video if coming from external media servers only (thus does not apply to the local media server)

I will add another option that consist in manually opening a srt on the SD Card (will be remembered and have to only be done once per video).

There is no miracle and BubbleUPnP cannot access or invent srt out of nowhere. Even if srt are present on a media server, if the media server doesn't expose it to BubbleUPnP, then it doesn't exist.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There is indeed a problem.

The m4a is converted to WAV by the Synology media server and this WAV seems to be invalid and not playable.

I advise you ask on Synology forums how to disable this transcoding because BubbleUPnP is able to play m4a directly.

Is this m4a AAC audio or ALAC ?

[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
Thanks for the explanation. Much appreciated.

But you do have to admit with all the solutions you have implemented (the local folder being the most practical due to the vagaries of media server output), it still requires one to manually copy the srt over.

How about the ability to manually select a folder on the device to house the subs/srt instead of being hardcoded to bubbleupnp/subtitles? Could then use something like Dropbox to sync subs from desktop to phone/tablets.

I've got a similar function going on using Dropsync, but that's a paid app, might not be practical for all. :D
