bubbleupnp problem

Hi,

I'm using Bubbleupnp in such configuration:

- WD mybooklive acts as upnp media server

- motorola milestone acts as upnp renderer

- motorola xoom acts as upnp controller

I use these devices for music streaming. They are in the same LAN network. Very often I get problems related to renderer which is stopping streaming music for a while than starts again, controller is loosing connectivity with renderer thus loosing control of it, errors occurs with prompt "...invoking..".

Please let me know how to fix this. Which configuration of bubbleupnp would you suggest for me...

Regards

Was playing with Free version until then, but today I discovered that I was able to play files from my Note reaching my NAS with DLNA on my Yamaha RX-V773 :eek:

Going to buy the full version!!!!

Interference Issues

Hi All - I've just installed the app on a desire hd phone, which I have connected to my home hifi system. I am sending music to it from my HTC One phone. However, I am experiencing interference in the form of skipping type noises, like you get on DAB radio if the signal is not strong enough. This even happens when the sending phone is next to the receiver. Also, the tracks on the sending phone sometimes skip or don't play for a while. Anyone have any suggestions please? Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Weird but will look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Indeed. For that particular use case to work, I believe BubbleUPnP Server should embed the external SRT in the transcoded MKV so subs starts at the correct position.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This really looks as intermittent WiFi connectivity issues on the renderer. Sometimes this happen with some router / android device / android versions combos. Sometimes it is DHCP related and assinging a static ip to the device helps.

On the renderer I would check the WiFi with WiFi Analyzer app.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I suppose you play files stored on your HTC one to your Desire HD ?

What type of files is it ? Is it local tracks or cloud tracks ?

What is the Android version running on your Desire HD ?
[Android Apps and Games] bsmith1051:
Just installed 1.6.10.1 and now my Sony renderer is undetected again. What can I do to troubleshoot this? Is there a way to manually force a device search, or is it happening continually in the background (on some timer or scheduler)?

I recently moved and I have a new AT&T U-Verse router so I've considered it might be a router (or UDP multicast) problem. Except that it works sometimes! Can I download the previous 1.6.10 version as a test?
[Android Apps and Games] lcholmfirth:
That is correct - They are mp3 files, all around 6 meg each. They are stored on the actual phone, locally. I am running Android 4.1.2.Additionally, when I try to stream from my Google Nexus 7 tablet, it works ok, but I also have a similar problem, to the previous poster too, where sometimes the renderer doesn't appear in my list of devices.
[Android Apps and Games] twinkybot:
Hello,

I noticed that when I add multiple albums of an artist that the songs are listed by their numnering and are not grouped by album. I think it is also valid if I enabled smart sorting.

This is especially anoying while listening to audiobooks with multiple cds. It's kind of confusong :)

Cheers and keep up the goodwork!
[Android Apps and Games] Aqua1ung:
Hello, would you consider adding client FTP music streaming capabilities to BubbleUPnP please?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Your issue looks like an intermittent discovery issue on your network, possibly due to your router. Make sure to upgrade it to the latest firmware.

Discovery problems can be hard to find the cause.

BubbleUPnP emits a device discovery request each time you enter the Devices tab.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Your media server is responsible to return items in the correct order. "Smart sort" can sometimes fix it when it is not correct, but not always.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No plan for FTP
[Android Apps and Games] twinkybot:
Ah I see. Thank you. But :) I just found here for miniDLNA: http://sourceforge.net/p/minidlna/discussion/879957/thread/3bb0e3d9
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPNP doesn't ask for a specific sort order, so it is still the responsibility of the media server to use a default sort order that makes sense for the folder being browsed.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr-Brot:
Hey,

I figured out a nice way to organise and play my movies and series from my NAS to my WD TV Live via Android Touchpad Running CM9.

Mizuu as organizer with nice UI and Metadata Grabber

Mizuu uses BubbleUPNP as default player when I start to play a file

So BubbleUPNP works as m-dmc to make the WD TV grab the selected movie from my ReadyNAS DUO

Theoretically this is should work fine, but practically i get an error when BubbleUPNP is trying to play the movie coming out of Mizuu.

I get "Cannot play: Invalid mime-type: mkv".

If i search this movie and play it within BubbleUPNPs built in library it works fine. So the files are compatible for BubbleUPNP.

For me it seems that there is a problem the way BubbleUPNP and Mizuu communicate the url and the type of the movie file?

Can someone help me out with this issue? I already tried "Ignore Mime-Type" in bubble UPNP.

Or is there a different way/app that Mizuu can adress to send the movies to my WD TV Live as a Renderer?

Thanks in advance!!

Edit: Added the log file containing playing the file with BubbleUPNP stock library and then trying to play the same file via Mizuu and BubbleUPNP
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This Mizuu app is indeed super nice.

Mizuu is returning a bogus mime-type for mkv (it returns "mkv" instead of "video/x-mastroska"). I could easily workaround it to make it work and will probably notify the Mizuu developer to use valid mime-types.

On my setup, playing Mizuu managed videos from a Samba source did not really work either in MXPlayer, VLC (pc) or to XBMC via BubbleUPnP: video playback was constantly loading as if Mizuu could not deliver the file fast enough. No problem though with a local mkv stored on the SD Card.

Anyway, if you can play videos stored on your NAS from Mizuu using MXPlayer works for you, it will also work through BubbleUPnP.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr-Brot:
On my system playing videos from my nas over Mizuu using MXPlayer works fine. It would be really nice if you really could do a quick workaround to make Mizuu and BubbleUPNP work together :good::good:

This setup is a really amazing way to manage a homecinema and your complete movie library !
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The workaround is done. Interesting you can get Samba streaming to work while it is unusuable for me.

random pausing

Hi

first off. Lovely app really like it.

I have been hitting an issue where the play back randomly pauses. Alwayd when the screen is off.

using an s4 never happened on old s2. what do you need to track?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can send me a log file, logging until it unexpectedly pause (see first post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] beebock:

All enabled, just waiting for the crash

cheers

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

Paused and stopped. Log sent, thank you
[Android Apps and Games] Mr-Brot:
Thanks a lot. That was quite fast :)

When will the update usually be availbale in the app store?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks. The log shows that BubbleUPNP lose the audio focus while a song is playing:

When it does, it pauses the song.

Normally audio focus is lost if another audio app is taking the focus, for example if you start a music player and play a song.

Since I suppose you did not that, something (another app) is taking the audio focus in the background for whatever reason.

Hopefully you can disable audio focus handling for the local renderer in Settings > Local Renderer > Handle audio focus.

With this setting disabled, it shouldn't pause unexpectedly in the middle of songs.

But you still have a weird app misbehaving with audio focus...
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's an update planned for tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] beebock:
Cool, I'll disable that and test further. I'll update you if it does it again with that disconnected.

support for playing standalone All Access tracks in a Google Music playlist, not also part of the Google Music library

added proper folder chooser when a folder must be selected (download folder, ...)

added info on how to play SoundCloud streams to the current renderer, using the share action of the SoundCloud app and the new third party SoundCloud DLNA/UPnP app available on Google Play.

For details, see Settings > About/Help > Tips > Interacting with other apps

if several UPnP devices have the same name, append ip address for differentiation

workarounded browse error for some media servers (Freecom, Buffalo NAS) returning invalid XML

fixed streaming from a remote BubbleUPnP's local media server not working over a tethered connection when the remote Android device provides the tethering

fixed volume control not working for Yamaha renderers (and possibly others), in some scenarios (Yamaha bug)

fixed a few own audio decoders issues

fixed video playback invoked from the Mizuu app not working

fixed Now playing cover not respecting aspect ratio on app start if set to "Scale to fit (keep aspect-ratio)"

fixed failure to play BubbleUPnP Server cached tracks if album name contains some special chars (ex: square braquets)

fixed rare crashes

How can I fix this mess?

Everytime I flash a rom or do a factory reset, the Saved Playlists don't work properly. I have to create Playlists all over again. It's a headache.

I'm using Galaxy i9100 running JB 4.1.2, Omega rom v23. Windows 7, either with XBMC / Windows Media Player. Tweaked ALL settings to save me from redoing playlists, but no good.

I thought I'm supposed to save time when I use Titanium Backup to restore BubbleUPnP but why does this keep happening? Is there a way for playlists to work even after flashing / resetting my device?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] purplet:
hey there!

Awesome app, but theres a bug/not working as intended in your playlist parsing.

First, it sorts after title which is mediocore, if you find time to add the option to sort by tracks ur gonna make a lot of users happy that use a lot of audiofiles, hand/badly tagged ones.

Any adds to the audio functionality id welcome, but tbh im fine with how it is, the google music/drive implementation is awesome.

On the other hand since it is that awesome id welcome more functions so i can ditch the whole google music player:D

Secondly, it doesnt parse the titles right if they begin with 1,2...10,11 right, instead its going 1,10,11...2 (im sure u know how to fix that, i had the same issue a long time ago but i cant remember where and how i fixed it).

To clarify, if theres an audiobook with titles 1 - car, 2 - bike, 10 - bobbycar its gonna sort it car, bobbycar, bike which is wrong:)

Changing the titles to 01,02...10,11 fixes it of course, no major issue just that little, annoying one.

Regards,

jan!

I checked wifi with wifi analyzer and other tools. My wifi looks pretty solid. There are some interferences but minor ones. I noticed that when I set playlist and start it takes about 30-40 mins that it is working fine. After that time it stops streaming and shows this code501 error on the controller. When I close bubbleupnp on controller and start it again it works again for similar tiime and again there's a problem.

Any idea how to troubleshoot this?
[Android Apps and Games] Mr-Brot:
Thanks for the fix...the Error disappeared and BubbleUPNP takes the file :)

Sadly, i am running into a new problem. All .avi files are correctly played via Mizuu, but if i start an .mkv BubbleUPNP is like hanging in a loop and not starting to play the file.

I added 2 logs. One containing the try to play an .mkv and one succefully playing an .avi.

Nevertheless I am really impressed about the possibility i recieve by using Mizuu and BubbleUPNP in combination. It's the most advanced and beautiful method to manage the home cinema!

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Saved playlists are stored on the SD card in Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp/playlists.

Either tell Titanium Backup to back up this folder or backup it manually and copy it to the same location when reinstalling.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This is difficult to troubleshoot. You can if you wish record a log file on both the renderer and controller and send me the 2 logs (see first post of this topic for instructions). Record the log up to the point when the renderer stops rensponding.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I don't think the mkv log is complete. Can you record it again ?

I didn't try avi but could not play mkv in my test, even with MXPlayer selected straight from Mizuu. It would attempt to load the movie indefinitely.

I will do some more testing as I have a WDTV.
[Android Apps and Games] Topfjoer:
Dear Bubbleguuum,

First of all thanks for the great work that you're doing on both the Android app as well as the server!

My setup consists of a headless ubuntu server running minidlna (but also testing with xbmc upnp server), and the bubbleupnp server. I have a Sony ns410 wireless speaker and a Galaxy S2 running the bubbleupnp app, both connected to the same wifi network .

I've used the bubbleupnp server to create an openhome renderer for the ns410 to hold the active playlist. I'm using the android bubbleupnp app and the Linn Kinsky app for OSX as controllers.

When I stream songs from the phone directly to the ns410 all is well. I can fully control the stream from both my phone and kinsky.

However, when I'm using openhome renderer, I'm not able to pause the stream. I can stop the stream from the phone by holding the pause button, effectively stopping it. In kinsky, I can only stop the stream by deleting the entire playlist.

Most likely, this is caused by the fact that the ns410 does not have a pause function, as the manual states. However, since the stream can be paused when coming from the phone, I was wondering if it would be possible to pause the stream coming from the openhome renderer as well.

I guess that such a feature is currently not implemented in the bubbleupnp server or did I miss something? Would it be possible to include this in a future iteration?

Best wishes,

T

Network Shares

Sorry, if someone ask this, but i don't find anything:

Either i don't find it or it is not possible, but i would like to have the possibility to access on network shares. Bubble plays only local files an i diddn't managed it to render files from my NAS-shares.

And by the way, sorry for this ugly english....

VPN connection

I am using BubbleUPnP Pro to connect to my Twonky Server. Works fine at home on LAN.

Unfortunately mobile it does not work through VPN. Server is not listed at "devices". Using "Test" in connection settings it gives me this message "The remote server could be joined but returned HTTP error code 404". Any hints?

Bubble want not play FLAC

Hi the newest Update dont play my Flac Files.

Everyting looks fine. It found the DLNA Server. It found the DMA Renderer. I can add Files to Playlist. I can say nex Music Title. I can stop the Music. But I cant play the Flac Files.

With other UPNP Software Arctic (Horible Interface) everithing works fine.

Do you have any tip for me.

DLNA Server is Plex

DMA Renderer Oppo 105

Thanks in advanced

Just to make sure I have not been misunderstood: I am asking for the capability to see and stream music from FTP servers (i.e. not act as an FTP server itself). Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] numatau:
That's a good idea, but, this don't work with pictures and an other program is needed.

I think a program which plays and renders mediafiles from local media shood be able to do this from network shares, too.

[Android Apps and Games] vampyrex13:
Is there a way to add a feature that encodes downloaded MP3s with the folder.jpg when you download the files to your phone? When it downloads the cover.jpg to my phone, it adds a picture for every album to it's own folder in my Gallery app making it harder to navigate. I don't have the time to sit and encode every MP3 on my server with the cover art; it's just easier to use a folder.jpg instead.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This should work normally. Can you send me (bubbleguuum at free.fr) the BubbleUPNP Server log file, after trying to pause the OpenHome renderer ? If you installed the ubuntu package, log file will be in /root/.bubbleupnpserver/BubbleUPnPServer.log.0
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Could happen if your media server changes urls when reindexing. Try clearing the cache (Settings > Display > clear thumbail cache) or disable it in the same page.

yes, with BubbleUPnP Server
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Device discovery is not supported by most VPN.

To access your Twonky Server, you must access it through BubbleUPnP Server which will allow to bypass regular device discovery.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Send me a log file playing a FLAC file (see first post of this topic for instructions)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You have not been misunderstood. The response is the same.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Or you could install an UPnP Media Server on your PC, which is what BubbleUPNP access.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Currently, downloaded album art is named cover.jpg. In the next version of BubbleUPNP I will name it Folder.jpg which is ignored by the Gallery app.

In the meantime you should be able to find a tool to batch rename all cover.jpg to Folder.jpg.

Mp4 streaming problem

I share my media files via ushare, and everything works fine except mp4. All mp4 files, which I have, played only as audio. Tested using latest BubbleUPnP and Nexus 7 with latest firmware.

If I select in context menu 'Show metadata' and then tap on URL ( ...... /file.mp4), I can see as video without any problem. Hope you can override/change default mp4 files handler / behaviour.

Volume buttons in widget only switch from 10 to 12 and back

Hi

first of all - this app is reaaaallly cool!

I use an old android phone (desire s) connected to my hifi equipment to play all the music on google music!

Just one small issue... I use a htc one as remote (also with BubbleUPnP) and have placed the widget on a homescreen.. this works.. but the volume up and down only change from 10 (directly) to 12 and back... I tried different "volume jump" values.. didn't help.

any idea how I can fix this? I activated the volume control in "Now playing" and this works perfect...

wanted to install it for a friend as well.. but with the htc legend I cannot see any remote devices.. is this a known problem?

Library Search Not working with TF700t keyboard

Firstly to the dev, a fantastic app, license purchased - keep up the good work!

I've found that the keyboard dock of Asus TF700t with stock based ROM (CROMI various versions tried currently 4.6) doesn't work with the Library Search. When typing in the search box the first keyboard stroke moves the input focus to the library list itself - nothing is typed in the search box. This might be similar to some other comments in this thread where the 'bluetooth keyboards' are not working with the search?

If i remove the keyboard dock and use the touch keyboard it works - however the media is via the usb port - which is part of the keyboard dock hence not a good workaround.

Can you help please? Hopefully I described the issue well enough - hit me if you want more info :)

Translation

I've tested some UPnP/DLNA app including Skifta, Twonky... BubbleUPnP is the best for me. Thanks for your app.

I searched this thread and read your negative comment about app localization(translation). But, How about to use Transifex (transifex.com) or Getlocolization (getlocalization.com) or something similar web based localization tool? Many users are waiting localized app and willing to volunteer for translating their native language.

Hi

I've got an ubuntu box running:

Minidnla

Gmediarenderer

Bubbleupnpserver

I want to play media on my ubuntubox and control it via android device/bubbleupnp.

Well, its almost working fine. The only Problem is that the OpenHome renderer created by bubbleupnpserver only shows up some times and only with big delay.

For example i start bubbleupnp on myphone, minidlna and gmediarenderer show up immediately. But openhome renderer shows up after 10mins. Sometimes it does not show up.

At the moment it is like after 10 mins the openhome renderer is listed on bubbleupnp at my tablet. But at my phone its not listed...

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks

EDIT:

I edited /etc/default/bubbleupnpserver to run as my default user instead of root. Now it seems working properly !

EDIT2:

It's NOT working properly. It's only working one time:

-start bubbleupnpserver -> OpenHome shows up in both androids.

-select OpenHome as Renderer, start playing. Exit Bubbleupnp on android.

-start up bubbleupnp on android again -> no OpenHome renderer!!

Any ideas?

So new Information regarding Mizuu and BubbleUPNP!

It seems that Mizuu is the Problem regarding playing MKV files and only on my HP Touchpad...It doenst even play the files with MX Player.

On my Nexus 4 i am able to stream everything with BubbleUPNP and Mizuu from my NAS to my WD TV. Excellent...

Just the respones times are a little long...some possibilities for me to improve that?

Thanks!
