Problem with Yamaha RX-V775 Receiver

Hi,

this is my first post to this thread.First of all thank you for this great app, works like a charm.

There is only one existing problem with my new receiver (Yamaha RX-V775).

If the receiver is in network standby mode,it is not possible to start playback via bubbleupnp.I get an error "action failed code 501". Doesn't matter if I use the device itself or the openhome instance. The only way I found is to use the Yamaha AV controller app in order to power on the device and switch to input source "server" Afterwards all commands from Bubbleupnp are recognized and work perfectly.

Is there a way to make the receiver wake up when I use BubbleUpnp? It's quite annoying if I have to use the Yamaha app just to power on the device :)

Hope anybody has a solution for this.

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

Nexus 5 (4.4.2) does not play mp3 files (local)

Hi

Nexus 5 (4.4.2), HTC Desire Bravo (2.3), Motorola XOOM2 (4.01), SONY KDC (TV), IOmegEZ (Twonky), PS3MediaServer...

All is working perfectly (Fotos, Videos...) playing local files and remotely, servers and renders, except playing mp3 files in Nexus5.

No matter which server is selected, when I try to play mp3 files on my Nexus5, does not work.

Is not a volume problem, the progress bar of mp3 file selected, does not move, the album art cover and song title are perfectly, but the progress bar does not advance.

Same opperation in HTC Desiré or on XOOM2 (XYBoard), works ok.

Any ideas?

Unusual but you can send me a log file playing a mp3 to your Nexus 5 (see first post of this topic for instructions)

It is not possible to do this with BubbleUPnP. Maybe it is possible with Wake-On-LAN but I no plan for this.
[Android Apps and Games] Doemer:
Thx a lot. The Tethering Client would actually do the job but if I run this service on my friends Laptop he/she would have "permanent" access to my media collection which include all our photos and private videos ^^ :)

My Galaxy SII was not able to playback any Videos on a TV screen using a MHL USB 2 HDMI adapter. One week ago I got myself a Note 3 and the MHL 2.0 that should arrive in a few days. I guess it should be able to playback the transcoded (or maybe even real 1080p) movies on a big screen. Carrying around a HDMI Cable and the Adapter would still be more handy than having the OUYA and its controller in a bagpack :)

Keep on the great work and thx again for all your effort.

Regards

Not if your friend does not have your login/password to connect to BubbleUPNP Server.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No plan as it would require root and is extremently non trivial to do.

So non-trivial that there is only 1 app that I know of that can do that.

Unlike a PC, Android provides no standard mean to capture audio at the system level.

SD-Card access

Hello,

I'm really happy with bubbleupnp so I bought the licence. Unfortunately my music is arranged by directories and filenames not properly by mp3tags. The music is lockated on a sd-card in my samsung note2 with android 4.3. Now, I find no way play the music from the sd-card by going over "filesystem". Just the way over the tag libary works to access the sd-card. What's the fault?

Thanks.

Changing sortorder by folder

On my WD Live Book, I can use Twonky or miniDLNA. Both give me the same result by browsing my music.

I always use Sort by folder. The list get then is sorted by the titles of the songs. I prefer to sort them by artist.

Is there a possibility to do this?

Problem playing WAV files from Twonky (metadata problem ?)

Hi,

I use BubbleUNP since 2 years and have a license since almost a year now. Works great, love it.

I have a very specific problem with WAV files in a particular setup.

- Music ripped with dbPoweramp in WAV

- Stored on a Dlink NAS where a Twonky server 7.0.11 manages the library

- Renderer is Cambridge Media Stream Magic

- BubbleUNP is installed on a Asus TF101 with Android 4.0.3

When I use Bubble to "remote control" this setup, the selected file is sent to the renderer (I see the name on the Stream Magic display) but refuses to play...

I know that Twonky is not able to analyze metadata from WAV files (shows Unknowned for all fields...)

However, the same file can be played with the Stream Magic when I use their clunky menu to browse directly Twonky

Similarly, I can read the file directly on my tablet with Bubble browsing Twonky.

Finally, everything is perfect if I use "standard" files like WMA or FLAC. But all my classical music is ripped in WAV...

I suspect the problem is caused by Bubble inserting some problem when transfering the instructions to the renderer if the metadata is not right...

Do you think it could be solved ?

Thanks again for your good work

Default player issue

Hi,

Using BubbleuPnP with MXPlayer on a Nexus 7 (2013).

Until yesterday all was working well. Suddenly, I am getting prompted by a 'program to complete task' box when I try to play any video. MXPlayer is the system default (I *love* it) and loads/plays when a file from the DLNA server is played locally.

MXPlayer is not in the list of options for me to choose. Is there any way to make MXPlayer the default player for BubbleuPnP again? I have installed and uninstalled both apps several times without any change in this behaviour.

Thanks

Sound is playing but screen remains black

Hello all

For most of my movies that I stream on my tv via BubbleUpnp there is no problem and BubbleUpnp is working fine.

But for some of my movies, the sound is playing but the screen remains black...

The movie is a .mkv file. I ripped a DVD with dvd decrypter, then I created a .mkv file from the created ISO file using handbrake. This normally works fine except for some movies...

Is this a known problem? Can anyone give me a little help with this problem?

Thank you, much appreciated!!

Random playlist generated by BubbleUPnP server?

Hi,

I recently switched from a Squeezebox based setup to a DLNA setup because of the addition of an AVR to my hifi setup.

Even after playing around without for some hours, I soon discovered some drawbacks of the whole DLNA system compared to squeezebox. All of them have to do with the fact that the renderer and media server cannot function independent of the controller, pfff. The fact that your BubbleUPnP Server solves some of these issues (like a server-side playlist) is one of the reasons a purchased BubbleUPnP for Android.

A feature that is missing now (and could probably be added without too much difficulty) is adding a

"random shuffle"

functionality to the OpenHome renderer's playlist

on the server itself

. So *not* having the controller generate a random playlist, but just ask the BubbleUPnP server to fill the OpenHome playlist with random songs. This way a user can just click on "Shuffle Songs" or "Shuffle Albums" or something on his Android phone and the rest is handled by the server...would be much nicer than it is now (as it would reduce the waiting time to 0 as it can start playing the first song while completing its random list, and it can keep adding random songs for ever in the background).

What do you think?

Cheers and keep up the great work!

Hello, thanks for making this awesome software!

I've been using bubbleupnp for my android tablet as well as with a portable version of fb2k on Windows.

As of the recent upgrade, bubbleupnp server stopped working. When I try to start the service through the Windows start menu shortcut, the cmd window comes up as always, but the server never starts. Thus, I can't get it to work at all.

I tried opening BubbleUPnPServer.exe in my installation folder instead. Didn't work.

When I looked at service.log, there's an error that's logged in every time I try to start.

"Service control dispatcher error: 1063"

Any clues?

bubbleupnp only streaming through wifi

Hi

ive downloaded this app for my Samsung s3 but it will only connect to my nas through wifi.

Do I have to purchase the license so I can stream from Internet on my phone?

Thanks

I need some help with Bubbleserver.... recently it was updated to the latest version 0.7. Everything seems ok, except Bubbleserver can't see my local LAN's DLNA server. And only Bubbleserver can't see it. my Samsung TV... and just about everything else sees it fine.

I logged in to the WEB GUI for Bubbleserver ... and in the Media Server tab, it's completely blank. So I am not sure what's going on.

BubbleUpnp also see the bubbleserver from outside of LAN but will not detect it.

Any help would be greatful
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Looks like an automatic Java update gone wrong. This happen somtimes.

Manually reinstall Java from this page. Install the Windows x86 version even if running on Windows 64 bits.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Maybe a firewall blocking it ? If running on Windows, manually authorize BubbleUPnPServer.exe again in the Windows firewall settings.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You must install and connect to BubbleUPnP Server for Internet streaming.

To stream for more than 30 mins you will need the license.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This would require custom extensions to the OpenHome protocol. You best bet for now is to generate a random track list (Library > Random tracls) and add it to the (OpenHome) playlist.

What's missing is a similar way to generate a random album list.

As for implementing Shuffle tracks / shuffle albums in BubbleUPnP Server itself, I understand how it would be useful but no promise.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's a weird problem and sounds like a ROM bug. Are you using a custom ROM ?

Otherwise try to modify in Settings > Local Renderer > Video Player - Local Control.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This looks like a renderer specific problem (even if it plays browsing from the unit itself).

You can send me a log file playing the problematic WAV file (see first post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No, unless you can configure the media server to use the sort order you want.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If your music is on an additional sd card, you can add it as a custom mount point in Settings > Local Media Server > Custom Mount Point 1.

Then the mount point will be browsable at the root of the local media server, in the Library tab.
[Android Apps and Games] sofakng:
Does BubbleUPnP Server support any type of automated bitrate adjustment when streaming? (for example, increasing the bitrate/resolution if more bandwidth is available and lowering it if the connection gets worse, etc)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No it doesn't. It's CBR for audio. For video bitrate depends on the configured target resolution for the transcoded video.

I investigated HLS video but I could not find a way to generate HLS streams from exisiting http streams (while it is easy to do from files).

[Android Apps and Games] Yoshi8765:
I've uninstalled java and reinstalled the x86 version. Still the same error: Service control dispatcher error: 1063.

I've tested that it is installed with their testing website as well (http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp). I also reinstalled bubbleupnp server to be very sure. The installer itself starts the server and opens the config page. That didn't work either.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This error happens if BubbleUPnPServer.exe is run on the command line or by double-clicking it in Explorer.

Not sure if you did that but it is only meant to be started as a service, either automatically on boot or manually started/stopped with the entries in the Windows Start menu.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Since it is a discovery problem, check that port 1900 is not bound by a program (netstat -an) either as TCP or UDP. It has been found that port 1900 can sometimes be used by dhclient if very unlucky.

And of course check that trafic on port 1900 (UDP) is not blocked.

If you can't solve the problem send me the BubbleUPNPServer.log.0 log file (in /root/.bubbleupnpserver) to bubbleguuum@free.fr with the output of the route and ifconfig commands.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You have to install BubbleUPnP Server somewhere on you network and connect to it in Android BubbleUPnP.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Theorically, the remote PLAY/PAUSE and volume control should work, with you renderer taking the command from your remote and BubbleUPnP reflecting the change in its UI. Assuming Skip skips to the next track, this can't probably work.

If BubbleUPnP doesn't take into acount PLAY/PAUSE state then it is probable the Pionneer doesn't notifiy it properly to the UPnP state.
[Android Apps and Games] niggle1:
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think you're right - prompted by your response, I just tried Pioneer's own Android Control App, playing music stored locally on the Nexus7. Even in this simple scenario, none of the PAUSE/PLAY/SKIP buttons had any effect (other than lighting up a blue light on the speaker, confirming that the IR remote is functional). Extraordinary. So anyway, the problem definitely seems to be with the XW-SMA4 firmware, and I'll try raising the issue with Pioneer.

Many thanks again for your help, and for a great app.
[Android Apps and Games] gibbylinks:
OK old version didn't work either.

I have a request, what I'd like to do is check that the information being passed by Mediatomb to BubbleUpnp is correct, then I want to check that what is being passed by BubbleUpnp to Last FM is correct.

Problem I have is I don't know which package is causing my problem, so I want to eliminate each step starting with Mediatomb on my NAS.

Could you let me know what BubbleUpnp needs from Mediatomb to scrobble or let me know where I can find that info.

Thanks

Hi,

I have a problem watching pictures with the local renderer.

I have turned off the transcoding to optimize bandwidth in bubbleupnp for pictures.

But all pictures come in the resolution: 320x240

I use Mezzmo server.

When i click on Show metadata in Bubbleupnp i see 2 streams:

Stream #1: jpg 3648x2736 5mb

Stream #2: jpg 320x240

Seems the locale renderer picks stream 2.

But when i stream to my tv it shows stream 1 big pictures.

Any idea what setting i am missing to get big pictures to my phone :confused:

Have been and done a bit more digging, and solved the problem by doing a hard reset on the mcr603.

Off to purchase.

Thanks again,

If anyone stumbles across this thread and is wondering how to reset a Marantz MCR603. Pull the power cable out, hold down both volume buttons, up and down. Plug the power cable back in, when ENTER and >/= light up, release the volume buttons. Front screen will say Initialize and that's it.

I need to install the BubbleUPnP Server on my router (E4200 with Toastman's Tomato) or on my Logitech Revue (Honeycomb). I assume it can be done only if the two have Java installed, right? Does anyone know if any of E4200 or Revue have Java?

v1.2.2.2 is now available on the Market. It is basically identical to the beta with a few fixes.

Very soon I will post a beta APK of a local Media Server app that will allow BubbleUPnP to access local phone/tablet media for streaming to external renderers or to the local renderer (making BubbleUPnP a standalone audio player).

Once this get tested, the local Media Server will be integrated in the next release of BubbleUPnP.

1.2.2.2

UI improvements for tablets (Better use of horizontal space), ICS devices

Transparent UI on tablets (can be configured in Settings > Experimental Settings)

Landscape UI is now similar to portrait UI

Library / Playlist: configurable item list height (Settings > Item height)

Library: added option to hide Bookmarks and Virtual folders

Library: fixed downloading of a playlist folder not working

Now Playing: fixed wrong Composer displayed in some cases

fixed Playlist track advance not working or reliable with some renderers. Now using polling instead of eventing. Eventing can still be enabled in advanced settings (slightly more CPU efficient)

fixed local renderer skipping tracks to end of Playlist on some devices

fixed some thumbnail covers not displayed properly with file cache enabled in rare cases

fixed device discovery not working using a VPN over a mobile data connection

fixed playback to some external renderers not working anymore since 1.2.x (including Roku)

fixed olders Rygel based renderers not being discovered

clicking the volume slider updates volume by -5/+5 steps

stop local renderer playback when switching to another renderer

other tweaks and fixes

How about porting/tweaking the BubbleUPnP Server to work with Dalvik, or, even better, design it against a GoogleTV SDK background? Would that require a huge coding effort? (Kinda anticipating the 2012 flood of GoogleTV devices...)

Hey bubbleguum. I'm using BubbleUPNP along with foobar and I had a few issues. I noticed that neither the library or playlists update over time.

I've got several auto-playlists based on date and number of plays and they never update in BubbleUPNP until I restart foobar. The same goes for tracks added to my library while BubbleUPNP is running... they aren't available until I restart foobar. I've never seen this before using UPNP with foobar, so I'm not really sure why it's doing it.

Another issue I'm having is regarding album art. It works for most tracks, but often some tracks in an album won't have album art, and never seem to get it, while others on the same album will. It's not a big deal, but still kind of odd. I'm using folder.jpg with nothing embedded.

Thanks for your help and making such a great UPNP app.

Action Timeout with Pioneer VSX 921

Hi bubbleguuum,

I'm using the licensed version of Bubble UPNP together with the Pioneer VSX-921 AV Receiver. In general the app works great but I'm having still some issues which became a little worse with the last update.

Whenever I'm trying to change the volume or to skip forward / backwards it takes very long till the action is transfered to the receiver (or till the receiver reacts) and most of the time I'm getting this together with a "Action timeout" message. Sometimes even the playback stops at all.

Attached you can find the log files for the problem.

Really appreciate your help!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's a foo_upnp issue. Playlist (and ML) content is cached the first time it is browsed then never updated. I'll see what I can do to fix at least playlists for the next version of foo_upnp, but it is still a bit far off.

Did you try the latest version (1.2.2.2) ? It fixes an issue that could be related to this. After installing the new version make sure to clear the album art file cache (Settings > Clear album art cache) before browsing the Library to check if the problem is fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This renderer seems super slow to answer to http requests (commands). In the log there are plenty of theses:

[cling-8 ] WARNING - 09:11:05,115 - org.fourthline.cling.g.a.a.d#a: HTTP request took a long time: 12993ms: http://192.168.178.28:8080/AVTransport/ctrl

At this point I would try to reboot it to see if it helps.

You can also revert to the behaviour of the previous version to get the renderer's state, by enabling "Settings > Advanced Settings > Use eventing". This will not hammer the renderer with requests and may help.

How does this renderer behave if you use Windows Media Player as a Control Point ?

Thank you for the awesome app, I use it every day.

Hi bubbleguuum, I'm using licensed vercion.

My setup: foobar2k with foo_upnp on Win7/64 and BubbleUPnP 1.2.2.2 on android - that's OK, all work as intended.

Then I've bought JPlay and after installing its plugin for the foobar2k I've got the problem.

BubbleUPnP can't remote foobar2k any more - jplay plugin shows an error message:

"open failed error=123, 192.168../(here likes some HEX word but no name of track).flac".

Firstly I think that JPlay service running in Win OS is guilty but they said to look at another android app - and, yes, it works with JPlay installed into foobar2000.

Maybe foo_upnp?

Is any chance to handshake BubbleUPnP with JPlay on the Foobar2000 platform?

P.S: your app is awesome, thanks a lot.

[Android Apps and Games] manonmoon:
Rebooting the Pioneer renderer indeed improved the behaviour, but this is degrading again rapidly. Windows Media Player also shows some delay but far less than Bubble UPNP - also I do not experience any degradation with WMP.

Pioneer also provides a dedicated App with far less functionality than Bubble UPNP, but this App manages to control the renderer without any delay. Would some log of the Intel UPnP tools when contorlling the device via the Pioneer App help?
