I reproduced the problem and learned something new.

There's some AAC audio tracks that the Chromecast fails to play for whatever obscure reason.

In fact this transcoded CC video played just fine with audio in VLC, so this is a Chromecast problem,

probably choking to decode audio produced by some AAC encoders.

I have not found a way to automatically determine which AAC streams do not play and require forced transcoding, thus I will

have to add a way to force it manually (tested working).

Samsung tv's

Hi @bubbleguuum, I sent you an email about samsung tv's not streaming video files if I connect from my ddns ip address but only from wan or lan ip address, please have a look.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Satyricon:
Great to hear that! Are you planing to release it soon?
[Android Apps and Games] Kutzki:
yee

Is there any way to implement a way to send the audio to the phone/headset instead of speakers? I love bubbleupnp but LocalCast is the only app with that feature and tbh its kinda ****. It's 2015.... We have the technology ;) I mean we must at this point, no? Lol
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It's the only one to have this feature because...it requires manual syncing every time you play a video or seek. Too cumbersome.
[Android Apps and Games] demoleon:
I would like to see the option to have single item branches in the drill down tree skipped. For instance, If I have a tree set up as Label\Album\Discs\Tracks and there are multiple discs then I would see the Discs level but if there is only one disc then it would skip directly to the tracks. Don't know if this is possible but would be nice to have the option.

Thanks,

The "subs" extra doesn't seem to work with multiple subtitle files on v2.3.3. I only get the first subtitle. In the subtitle selection menu (when casting to chromecast) could you display the base file name of the subtitle (similar to mx player) instead of "untitled"? I tried explicitly setting it with the "subs.name" extra but you don't seem to support it.

BTW, do you have any documentation of all the extras you support?

popcorn time (phone 2 DLNA TV)

For whom would be interested in streaming popcorn time or other streaming video from smartphone to DLNA smart tv:

The phone must have 2 wifi antenna's to do so like the galaxy S5.

Needed: dual WIFI antenna smartphone / installed: popcorn time app, mxplayer, bubbleupnp licensed and smart tv thats connected to the same network.

In the popcorn time app you must choose mx player as the default video player.

in bubbleupnp you must choose your dlna tv as renderer, I've set the upnp action timeout to max in upnp tweaks, also I've set wifi video transcoding in networks en settings to 720p/128Kbps audio.

in mx player decoder settings I've checked the H/W+ decoder (network) box, also checked all H/W+ videocodecs

so for making this work start popcorn time and start viewing what you want with desired subtitles, video now opens and plays in mx player normally there you need to choose the share to bubbleupnp in the options-> tools section. Now bubbleupnp opens and after a while the video start playing on tv. smartphone can now be locked to save battery, this method doesn't take that much battery from my S5

Dunno if the wifi video transcoding setting has effect and is neccessary, also dunno if video quality on tv is 720p by setting this option. Because in popcorn time you sometimes can choose 1080p but this is maybe useless and therefore better to choose 720p.

good luck
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes only 1 sub is supported. This is a consequence of UPnP/DLNA sub support only supporting 1 sub as I cannot think of a media server sending multiple subs.

This could be changed but not trivial so no plan for now.

Same for supporting naming of subs.

There are these additional ones:

"artist" : artist (String)

"title": title (String)

"cover": cover image (file:// or http:// Uri)

and for sent http:// music items only, these optional extras:

"album": album title (String)

"bitrate": the bitrate in Kbps (int)

"samplerate": the samplerate in Hz (int)

BubbleUPnP does not modify the folder structure of media servers. You'll have to find / configure a media server with the structure you want.

I suggest MinimServer for this task as it's browse tree is very configurable.
[Android Apps and Games] Lakorus:
Hello,

that's a pity, especially because I guess that it would be a matter of simply adding the tag field to the "Show meta-data"-screen that is already capable of presenting tag-values in quite a variable way (depending on existing content).

Anyway, I tried the app you suggested and it works very well in principle, but it has a VERY long way to go; only about 10% of the songs I tried were found in the database. I will continue to monitor the progress, maybe it will get better.

Best regards

Lakorus
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Media servers do not expose lyrics metadata and extracting lyrics tags from files/streams is beyond the scope of BubbleUPnP.

As for the QuickLyrics app, it will be as good as the database it uses for lyrics. Musixmatch is probably much more complete.

That may also be the reason they ask 25K $ / year to license their API (for direct use without going through their app).
[Android Apps and Games] demoleon:
OK. I use JRiver to create my browse tree so I can look into that. I guess I wasn't asking that the browse tree be modified. Just that a single node branch would be skipped. So instead of me pressing the single item to go to the next level BubbleUPnP would "press" it for me behind the scenes. No modification of the tree, just a quick move to the next level where appropriate.

I tried QuickLyric too and noticed if a track has a number in front, or is renamed some other way, it fails to find the lyrics, but manual search finds it.
[Android Apps and Games] Lakorus:
Hi Bubbleguuum,

please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to troll you, but please take a look at the attached screenshot: MinimServer makes the lyrics accessible for internal use, if you add "Lyrics" in the "itemTags"-section (for the screenshot, I've added "Lyrics" to the "indexTags"-section). As you can see, the text is formatted as well, so that the contents should be usable.

Feature Request

Hi

My name is Luis Meira and I currently have licensed Bubble DS Next and BubbleUPNP.

I bought Bubble DS Next because I needed to have Gapless in my Linn DS.

I recently installed BubbleUPNP server on my Synology Nas.

I've registered my other renderers in Bubble UPNP as OpenHome Renderers ( Denon Ceol NCD-N8 ).

Now I'm able to control all my renderers an Linn DS with Bubble DS Next.

It all works great.

Unfortunately I miss a Bubble UPNP feature, Continue Playback here.

Any chance this feature can be implemented in Bubble DS Next ?

regards

Luis
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Already done. Looks like you missed this post in the same subreddit.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Maybe, but no promise.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You could try to configure MinimServer to map that Lyrics tag to the Comment tag, and you would have your lyrics displayed in the metadata dialog (tap on cover in Now Playing).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok I'll look into it. In fact, BubbleUPnP does already do this but restricted to only for the root folder (if it contains a single folder), for whatever reason I do not remember.
[Android Apps and Games] Eye4Tech:

Yes, I noticed that, too - but for doing an almost manual search there are better apps, I think. "Lyrically", for example, has an impressive list of lyrics available and seems to have a better search engine.

Hello Bubbleguuum!

In the post 8724 I ask one question some days ago!

" I like to know, that you are thinking of returning this feature, or this is over, never going to happen again?"

Yes or No sufficient!

Thank You for your time! sz.

[Android Apps and Games] cmstlist:
A week or two I was able to select my LG Smart TV as the renderer, select Dropbox as the source, and play an mp3 podcast to the TV.

Now when I open BubbleUPnP, I very briefly see the Cloud option and then it vanishes immediately. Any idea what's going on here?

Just now I got into the app fast enough to tap Cloud and Dropbox, and I could see the folders of my Dropbox... then BAM it switched to my media server and Cloud vanished from the menu again.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The cloud folders are part of the local media server. Select it as a Library in the top side menu, then go into the Library tab.
[Android Apps and Games] cmstlist:
Hah OK, yeah it's there. Just really counterintuitive as it's not local at all.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Maybe. Local media server = media server running locally on your Android device serving local *and* cloud content it manages.

[REQUEST] Wifi SSID Black list for server connection

Hello,

First of all thanks for this wonderful app, I'm using it everyday and it's really got all you need for wireless multimedia things... (maybe it's just missing airplay renderers support)

I'm also using the server side bubble app, which is also nice btw, and I'd like be able to prevent the client to connect to the server when I'm at home.

To be more precise:

My connection setting to the server is active for both "Mobile / Wifi / Ethernet"

So the libraries relayed by the server are always present in the device/library list

When I'm [MENTION=313982]home[/MENTION] I don't really care to have those library listed

But when I'm [MENTION=408485]work[/MENTION] or [MENTION=1660591]friends[/MENTION] homes, I want those libraries to be reachable over wifi (to save mobile's data quota)

So i came to the conclusion that the possibility to blacklist a WLAN by specifying its SSID (inside the server connection settings) would the right solution.

What do you think? Any chance to see this (or a smarter) feature implemented?

Cheers.

no subtitles streaming to samsung tv!

Hi

i have searched the internet hi and lo for an answer, and can't seem to find one. my problem is that when i stream to my samsung tv via dlna/upnp there is no subtitles!

i have added a srt with same name as movie, and when i check metadate in bubbleupnp while playing movie i can see two streams, one with movie and one with subtitle! but the subtitle is not showing on the tv.

noticed that the movie name and subtitle name is different in the metadata, don't know if that has something to do with it??

cheers

Update

Thanks for the guidance - it was the setup of FFPROBE/FFMPEG that was causing the initial difficulties.

With the built-in FFMEG in Raspbian Linux, I could play some MKVs and MP4's, but not AVI's and multi-soundtrack MKV's - I've tried (1) a pre-compiled FFMPEG (2) compiling my own FFMPEG, including H264 etc.

With the FFMPEG/FFPROBE from my own compilation, it'll now play pretty much anything, but it's very slow - I have to use the "superfast" rendering setting, which loses a lot of quality.

I need to find/compile the right build of FFMPEG to see if I can improve performance - the original default RASPBIAN ffmpeg seems to perform pretty well on MKV's, but won't play other formats or handle multiple soundtracks. The compiled version will play a lot more formats, including AVI and MPEG, but at a loss of performance compared to the "vanilla" ffmpeg that ships with Raspbian Linux.

Hi,

can you make it possible to add musik streams into playlists?

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Sure. Thank you for the report.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
in the playlist tab, Menu > Add Stream URL. Only http/https streams are supported.

You can also add custom URLs in XiiaLive.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Maybe have a look at the compilation options used for the vanilla ffmpeg in case there are special optimization settings. In any case, video transcoding requires looots of CPU that can keep even a powerful PC busy (unless just audio in video is transcoded), and I doubt a Rpi2 is sufficient in all cases. It will definitely won't be powerful enough for 1080p video.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's no standard to transmit subtitles via UPnP/DLNA, and not all renderers support them.

BubbleUPnP supports a few ways to transmit subs but it is not guaranteed to work.

When supported by the renderer, It's quite complicated to have subs working as it requires cooperation from the

media server, the control point and the TV.

In the app, see Settings > About/Help > Tips for the long explanation.

Samsung theorically supports subtitles passed the "AllShare(tm)" way and BubbleUPnP has some support for

that but I never could test it personnaly (no Samsung TV).

If you wish you can send me a log file playing a video (see first post of this topic).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes this would be a good thing to have.

The problem being for BubbleUPnP to identify that it is running on the home network.

Adding a SSID setting would work but that's yet another obscure setting (and there are too many already).

I may add this ability if I can find a way that doesn't include specify a SSID. Comparing the public ip address of

BubbleUPnP Server and the public ip of the Android device may work.
[Android Apps and Games] tr0m4tik:
Hi,

Thanks for taking my request in consideration. I agree about the obscures settings thing.

In the end I think your approach is smarter.

I'll be glad to test it whenever you'll decide to implement that.

Can BubbleUPnp be used to turn off DLNA?

Hi, your app sounds incredible. I'm wondering if it can also be used to stop all DLNA activity on Android devices? Although I have heard about DLNA for years, I didn't get a chance to experience it until two days ago when I unexpectedly found a picture I had taken earlier in the day on my Galaxy S3 displayed full screen on my MK808b Android TV.

This functionality game from the stock Gallery app and is also present for music and videos in their respective apps.

I have since figured out how very cool and useful this is, but I also realize I have no way to shut it down completely. I've read interesting anecdotes of people going to work and finding their pictures popping up on DLNA enabled devices in the office.

If your app doesn't also happen to contain a way to shut down DNLA, is there a companion app you know of that would? I would love to start using your app and the features of DLNA, but I also want complete control of what my device is doing.

Thanks,

Bob

Streaming Tidal audio by DLNA

Hi,

First of all thank you very much for this wonderful app! I've been using it for 3 years at least and I have to say this is the best audio app available in google play!

Well, I am trying to stream Tidal songs to my home devices - Panasonic BP, Yamaha Receiver or Panasonic TV - but I get an error message on devices (format not supported). Bubble just stops playing without any advise. Are you able to reproduce this scenario? It would be great if you fix that on the next release :).

SSL certificate problem again

I just bought brand new Nexux 9 and installed Bubble on it. I have already running Bubble server in cooperation with Serviio. Local network playback is provided without problems.

Not streaming Google Drive

I have some MP4 videos on Google Drive, and these SAME VIDEOS are also on Google Photos (Google+).

Is unlicensed Control Point able to control licensed Renderer without limitations?

Hi there,

I'm a happy BubbleUPnP user on an Android tablet (Renderer) and an Android phone (Control Point). I'd like to get myself a license but my phone has none of the Google stuff hence no Google Play app (and no way to get it sideloaded), and I read in this thread that this makes it impossible to get the license app to work.

My tablet has Google Play though, so I wonder if licensing the tablet/Renderer alone would be enough to remove the 16 tracks playlist and 30 min control limitations from my unlicensed phone/Control Point? I tried to test this myself but couldn't get it to work within the Google Play refund window...

Any hint from the dev team or any user with a similar setup?

[Android Apps and Games] fp.ath.cx:
I'd like to add my thoughts to this feature request. I also had this problem (having the BubbleUPnP-Instance of my servers on my home-network, where I didn't need them). But in the meanwhile I found a very pragmatic solution: I just use the BubbleUPnP-Instances of my servers *only*, even when I'm home. That's easily possible by hiding (= existing BubbleUPnP feature) the original instances of your mediaserver when you are home. So in the end you use the proxied servers, no matter if you're on the run or at home. I made speed comparisons, and there is no significant difference in speed when browsing etc.

Apart from the simplicity of this solution, there's another huge advantage to this approach: Playlists (made within BubbleUPnP). These now work independently no matter where you are. Because entries in a playlist point explicitly to one or the other mediaserver, which results in incompatibility with your idea.

Next version adds supports for the ICS music lockscreen for basic playback control of the local renderer and now playing info (the same lockscreen controls than Google Music). Obviously available only on ICS devices.

Bubblegum,

Just wanted to say that I LOVE your app!!! It's the best app I’ve purchased this year and I love that I can stream my entire movie collection over the internet to my Samsung Skyrocket with ease. Thanks!! So here's my question. While internet streaming to my Skyrocket, I can’t see my subtitles and I don’t get the option to select them. This goes for movies with multiple audio tracks too. Is that normal when internet streaming? When I'm at home connected to my WIFI connection, I have the option to select both subtitles and audio tracks in dice player (small icons). Well thanks again. BTW, all my videos are M2TS files and I'm using Windows 7 64bit and XBMC. Everything else works flawlessly. :p

Hello,

BubbleUPnP working great within the home network but I can't see my "devices" from the outside. Running 0.5.3 beta server on Win XP Pro with port 58050 forwarded on my router. Also using dyndns host name for access.

When I run the wizard, the connection test is successful on Xoom and PC server settings. When I try to apply various "active on connection" options in "Remote UPNP Network" settings, I see a quick message that says "connecting to home, loading device list" that flashes for one millisecond. I keep hitting apply to see what the message says.

This happens with the following selections:

Wifi / Ethernet

Mobile / Wifi / Ethernet

However, I can hit "apply" and the settings will stick if I choose "disabled" or "mobile"

Is this a limitiation of the free version? Been playing around with the free version for a while, definitely interested in buying a license if I can get this working.
