That's a question for Plex really.

But if you just want to play shoutcast streams to any renderer, you can do it without Plex, using the app's integration with the XiiaLive app.

To learn how it works and how to enable, in BubbleUPnP go into Settings > About/Help > Tips > Interacting with other app and check the "Playing Internet radio with XiiaLive" paragraph.

It is probable this device sends non-compliant XML for its description.

Which apps detect it ?

No
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The only way on MacOS would be using foobar2000 + foo_upnp plugin (as explained in BubbleUPnP Server doc page), through Wine, maybe using Wineskin.

Without log, no idea. See first post of this topic if you want to make one.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can already have Media Servers of LAN1 appear as UPnP devices on LAN2, through the Internet. This is the UPnP Tethering feature of BubbleUPnP Server alhough for now only Android BubbleUPnP is able to actually avertise (eg make them visible to other UPnP apps) on LAN2 the devices of LAN1. You can refer to BubbleUPnP Sever's doc on tethering but basically you need to enable advertising in Settings > Network and settings > UPnP Tethering so Media Servers of LAN1 appear on LAN2 (and can be accesed by LAN2 UPnP device like TV etc as regular devices).

Now this works only with LAN1 and LAN2 being separate networks linked by the Internet.

The only thing missing is a separate small Java program that you can execute on any machine on LAN2 that would connect to BubbleUPnP Server and enable tethering so Android BubbleUPnP is not required for this. Maybe I'll write it at some point.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want to achieve but here's general info:

LAN proxy Media Servers created in BubbleUPnP Server are only useful on a regular LAN. Not on a VPN (see below for VPNs).

Media Servers managed by BubbleUPnP Server and seen by Android BubbleUPnP or foobar2000+foo_upnp (when remotely connected) have all the characteristics of LAN proxy Media Servers created with "Create a proxy media server on this LAN". In particular they automatically fix some deficiencies (bad data) of the real Media Servers. In other terms, they are also proxies although intended for remote access use.

If you want to connect Android BubbleUPnP (or foobar2000+foo_upnp) to BubbleUPnP Server through a VPN, you can, but there a few restrictions (vs an Internet connection):

- you will be able to only play content from BubbleUPnP Server to your android device runnning Android BubbleUPnP (or to foobar2000 if connecting with it). In other terms the only renderer

you can play to is the one making the connection to BubbleUPnP Server (because there's no discovery).

- you cannot tether the UPNP devices (since there is no discovery availabale)

- to connect to BubbleUPnP Server on a VPN, use its LAN ip instead of its public IP in the connection settings.

Although you can do it, don't try to proxy proxies...

Yes I understand all this and I have Bubbleupnp Android and Foobar2000 working over VPN. I am extatic with Bublleupnp over vpn - can do everything i need - picture, audio and video.

WIth Foobar2000 - it is the only renderer and I can only do video and Foobar is not a nice media center - just a good audio renderer. I am asking if you could enhance the Foobar plugin when acive to not only do what it is doing now - but enable an "advertize on local lan" feature so that it creates proxy's of the DLNA servers it finds when it connects to Bubbleupnp server.

another way would be to give bubbleupnp server the abiltity to find other bubbleupnp servers via a unicast method and adverzied the dlna servers it is told about.

Either way would give you the only DLNA solution that can bridge lans over the internet. I can tell you this is the Holy Grail of DLNA !!!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] weerrib:
Great app!!! I am using the licensed version. One question however. Maybe a known issue but it is difficult to search in this forum.

When I use my tablet (nexus 7) out of reach from my wifi/NAS it looses its library. The next time it is in reach of the NAS the BubbleUPnP library has to rebuild itself again. With over 1000 albums it takes half an hour.

Is it possible to store the library more permanent, and only reload it on command?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
you CAN'T do that. Reread what I wrote. There no LAN1 and LAN2 on a VPN. There is just LAN1, your VPN.

For what you want to do you should really forget VPNs.

With tethering, a device on LAN2 makes direct http stream connections to LAN1 (true for album art request as well). Thus it doesn't go through the phone connection. Only Library browsing requests go through the phone which use little bandwidth.

Forget it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP doesn't build a library. It just browses folders returned by your Media Server. And it doesn't take half an hour to browse 1000 albums.

[Android Apps and Games] glimmling:
Hi, I just bought the license of this app to replace upnplay. The reason is primarily the better UI.

I thought, it would remove all the limitations of the free version, but it doesn't do that for my main purpose.

My DVB-S Receiver (Kathrein UFS-913) has a built-in UPnP-server. It provides playlists with all my tv stations and recordings.

With upnplay I could access all my content fine and stream it to VLC on my tablet. But with the paid version of BubbleUPnP I only see the first 16 tv stations and recordings.

Wasn't the 16 track limit only meant for the free version? Please help.

There is one other thing. Is there meanwhile a workaround to render videos on a Samsung TV? I get an error message about missing resources. It works with imediashare.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The 16 tracks limit is for the Playlist tab only. There's no limit when browsing. It happens that when browsing, first browse request asks for 16 items. So the first request is succeeding, but the subsequent request (which ask for much more items) fails. Can you send me a log file, browsing to this folder (see first post of this topic for instructions) ?

No, it doesn't work with some Samsung TV models (audio plays fine). And it is not for a lack to have tried to make it work, several times. Without such TV for testing, it is nearly impossible to make it work, even with logs. I guess imediashare have Samsung TVs.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'm not angry. Simply, after all your messages, I still do not understand your network setup and exact use case.

I don't regularly use VPNs either so I may be missing something.

If you wish, you can send me a PM (or email: bubbleguuum at free.fr) with more details so I can picture your VPN network:

- ip addresses of all your UPnP devices, what they are and their physical location

- your usage scenario in simple terms (I want to play stuff stored on UPnP device X, using app Y, to UPnP device Z, from physical location L).

This is not a guarantee that what you ask is possible or will be implemented, but at least I will understand your request.

Smart Sort

Even though I have smart sort enabled, it insists on listing album tracks in alpha order by track title.

I have the filenames set as track number + title.

I am using an Iomegas NAS drive, and they appear in track number order if I access them with ES File Explorer.

Can you please offer any advice? .. this is really annoying as I am mainly playing classical music.

I love the app and otherwise it works with my tablet and media box just as I want it.

Thanks.

**** Since posting this I have discovered this was because I was accessing it via folders. If I use Albums all is in the correct order.

Using the other options to access tracks, it seems that albums is the only one that uses smart sort. Is this correct? I can certainly live with that.

DLNA (Proxy) servers not showing up with Windows Media Player OR Windows Media Center

I have the Bubbleupnp Server on my WIndows computer that stores all of my media. I use the WIldMediaServer(WMS) for my DLNA server. I have Bubbleupnp server setup to create proxy DLNA server on my network of WMS. When I use XBMC and Foobar, VLC, etc both the WMS and WMS(Proxy) DLNA servers are visible on my network. But I can only see WMS with Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center - WMS (Proxy) does not show up. Any idea why ?

BubbleUPnP Android stops listing devices from BubbleUPnP Server

Hi!

I love this software! It's worth every penny for working media on my Linkstation NAS.

Everything is fine connecting directly on the LAN. But recently, I've run into a problem

streaming remotely

. The Android client has stopped listing the devices on the home network when connected to the BubbleUPnP Server over the internet. It makes no difference it's connected via 4G or WiFi.

Tests:

The BubbleUPnP Android client shows "connected" to the BubbleUPnP Server on my home network via 4G.

If I hit "test" button in the client, it confirms that everything is fine.

The BubbleUPnP Server web interface says both HTTP and HTTPS are accessible from the internet.

Yet... my [Home] network device doesn't show up in the devices list.

Next Steps:

I recreated Home network in the Android client it says "loading device list". Still nothing shows up under libraries.

I restart the BubbleUPnP Server and computer, but still nothing shows up.

So I uninstalled the Android client and reinstalled it and set up the Home network again. Magic! The Home devices show up again.

Then after a couple of days... they disappear again.

Any ideas what's happening? It seems to be a client issue. But I can't figure it out.

Thanks,

Matt

So is there an unlocked apk available somewhere? The functions that I want (remote control) do work but are limited in the free version so can we bypass the license not working by downloading an unrestricted version? I really want to continue using the app as it has all the functions I require but this time limit on the remote makes it unsuitable for my needs.

Again, great app.

Video transcoding with foobar

Hi guys,

I have a BubbleUpnp Media Server at home and I access it at work as a remote server with foobar2000. I installed foo_upnp plugin to browse my medias. It seems possible to enable video transcoding with this plugin (i've enable 360p / 128Kpbs audio transcoding), but when I try to play a transcoded video with vlc, it read a file called "360.ts" and it doesn't work. Does anyone has an idea of how to make this work ?

Here is the file path it tries to read :

myserver:58050/stream/video/542557e836c819cdbf58c8eb6336f871.avi?args=-vf scale=trunc(oh*a/2)*2:360.ts

Thx.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Transcoded video played through foo_upnp will work with BubbleUPnP Server 0.6.4 to be released later this week. For now, only non-transcoded videos work.

I had to change the transcode video container from AVI to MPEG-TS for these video to play with VLC and many other PC players.

It also has the benefit to be compatible with more video players on Android, and to fix the bogus video time reported by AVI containers.

[Android Apps and Games] Reichi:
Hi,

First of all let me congratulate for this great piece of software.

I am a dreambox Developer and i do primarily use BubbleUPnP for initial testings of our UPnP Implementation because it has a pretty reliable and clean UPnP Implementation (which you can't say about many clients out there...).

The previous market-release (the one before the current) version of BubbleUPnP caused our system to actually segfault when trying to play a youtube video via BubbleUPnP.

I assume the problem this was connected with was what you called

"- fixed some tracks not playing, displaying "internal error" message"

in your changelog.

Though this was fixed in BubbleUPnP I'd desperatley like to have a look a the segfault / the cause of it.

Any chance you can send me an apk of the version WITH that specific bug?

Thank's in advance,

Reichi
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I assume you mean playing youtube videos from the youtube app using semperVidLinks ?

I doubt it was the "internal error" fix which prevented some tracks to play because of invalid XML characters in DIDL-Lite sent by some media servers. These characters are now filtered.

You can download previous version here
[Android Apps and Games] Reichi:
Hi,

well basically a user reported that problem and attached a crashlog (which showed a segfault). As i don't know about any other solution than semperVidLinks i guess so.

Maybe he updated that one, too but i'll still give it a try.

We had no Problem with the DIDL-Lite (because i actually do filter invalid characters before parsing it...). But i'll still give it ashot.

Thx for the link!

WOW - this is rare.... someone is able to repeat a problem that I found !!! From what I can see WMP and WMC are the ONLY DLNA rentereres that I have come across that do NOT see the Proxy DLNA servers. Unfortunately - I actually like WMP and WMC and are trying to use them if I can. Also my familyand friends use lots of Windows Laptops - and since WMP and WMC are already installed - mind as well use them.

Also unfortunarely there are some "issues" with my Media Server (Wild Media Server) and your Bubbleupnp Server Proxy fixes all of the issues that I have seen - tested with VLC and XBMC.

Please let me know if there is anything I can tweak to make the Proxy's show up.

Thanks KJK

P.S. - Really reallly AWESOME APPS !! Having way too much fun. I Will send you a private email telling you about how I have configured OpenVPN (WIndows) in TAP mode so that UDP Multcast/UDP Broadcast messages are now trasnferred between networks separated by the internet . :)

BubbleUPnP Server 0.6.4 is available. Ubuntu packages will be available in a few hours.

0.6.4

transcoded videos now use MPEG-TS as container instead of AVI:

compatible with more video players on Android

fixes bogus video duration reported in most Android video players (duration is 00:00 as the stream is not seekable)

necessary change for these streams to play on a PC with foobar2000 as client, with optional transcoding (see here) to a video player such as VLC

transcoded audio streams <= 64Kps use Ogg Vorbis for codec if ffmpeg supports it (compiled with libvorbis). This improves audio quality at low bitrates. Works with Android BubbleUPnP and foo_upnp.

new command line option -webContextPath allows to change the root of all generated URLs by the server.

For example if webContextPath is set to /myprefix, all URLs will be of the form http://<ip>:<port>/myprefix/...

The server's web interface will be found at http://<ip>:<port>/myprefix.

This URL must also be used as the Server connection URL in both Android BubbleUPnP (requires v1.6.5) or foo_upnp.

This setting allows accessing BubbleUPnP Server through advanced proxies like LemonLDAP.

fixed proxy devices possibly not discovered by other UPnP software, when proxies are started before (in particular, software based on Platinum UPnP: XBMC, foo_upnp and many others)

fixed several OpenHome'd Xbox 360 issues

fixed slow retrieving of the WAN IP on startup when the primary server is not responding

fixed server remaining stuck on crash instead of exiting process

fixed server returning unplayable stream URLs if Internet connectivity appears after the server is started

fixed "Invalid pad bytes!" error (or similar message) preventing server startup on some exotic Java platforms (Solaris in particular)

fixed blinking popups in web configuration with Chrome 24

[Android Apps and Games] jaykraly:
I've been having a problem recently that I'm pretty sure is new to my system. Not sure what has changed but thought I'd start at the front-end software and work my way backwards. I'm running licensed BubbleUPNP 1.6.4.2 on 3-4 androids running ICS and JB, a twonky server on ubuntu, a Rygel renderer on the same Ubuntu server, plus two Rygel renderers on Rasberry PIs. When I play a new album to any of the three renderers, the volume always starts at 100. I can lower it (quickly before it blows the speakers) and it will maintain the lower volume from song-to-song, but not if i disconnect from the renderer and re-connect.

Any ideas where the problem might be? A couple weeks ago this did not happen. When I used to play music it would start at a nice medium volume and maintain the volume after that. Nothing has changed on the Twonky side or the Ubuntu Rygel renderer. The PIs are new since then. And I think the BubbleUPNP app on my droids has been updated a couple times. Thanks in advance!

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 PM ----------

Just re-checked this and the volume doesn't revert to 100 when I switch albums, its when I switch renderers. Or if I were to stop and restart BubbleUPNP on the droids. I don't see an option, but is there a way to set the default start volume when connecting to a renderer?

In regards to the Custom Tag question ... what about standard tags (Year, Composer, Comments, etc)? It would be nice to have an Info icon to see those, or to be able to customize which tags are displayed.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This issue is very weird as BubbleUPnP *never* changes the volume of a renderer by itself. Volume changes is always the consequence of user interaction to change it. Now it may be a bug in the Rygel renderer that is trigerred in newer versions of BubbleUPnP.

You can if you wish send me a log file showing this issue (see first post of this topic for instruction) so I can check what happens.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Although fuppes is old and unmaintained, if Android BubbleUPnP detects fuppes, BubbleUPnP Server should detect it as well.
