Send me a log file, playing a video until there is the problem (see first post for logging instructions). I wouldn't be surpised the WiFi disconnects for a short while or something. This can happen with some routers. Also make sure that you do not have battery saver apps that kills WiFi or any root apps that do bad things to other app or the system.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
To install the license app you would need to install Google Play + add your Google account used for the purchase. I think you can find instructions Googling around.

It's an interesting and powerful device. Something can probably done with it but it is not available for purchase in the EU, so I can't test.

[Solved] Thanks Developer team

Hello, Bubbleteam!

I am very glad to the developing team because in the latest beta - BubbleUPnp 1.8.6p1 this feature was included,

and I downloaded the Beta and it works flawless - external subtitles with chromecast in Mybooklive NAS DLNA.

KUDOS for you. You have a very skilled team, and very responsible too!!!

Hi Bubble Team,

I am using a Synology DS413 NAS and followed the instructions on your site, installing java 7 and installing the spk of bubbleupnp server. unfortunately for me, it does not want to seem to start. when i manually start in in package center, it just stops. My synology NAS is currently running DSM 5.0. I also opened the ports and firewall.

Anyone can help me out here? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! I'm having problems streaming Google Drive videos to my chromecast.

I've set up the bubbleupnp server on my main PC, and can send locally stored videos to the Chromecast, but if I try to send anything from drive(I've tried multiple mp4, mkv, avi, m2ts etc.) it shows the loading bar on the chromecast for a brief moment and then goes back to the BubbleUPnP splash screen.

From the server log it looks like ffprobe is failing and redirecting to a fallback?

Running Windows 8 64 bit
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No plan for a sale soon.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Answered by email. Not working due to a http error 403 "forbidden", which is weird and not supposed to happen (but with Google servers, anything can happen).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Cannot help you much there as I do not have a Synology.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:

I am really new to Chromecast and BubbleUPnP. I searched the thread, but couldn't find an answer to my question.

I am trying to watch mkv files on chromecast, which has DTS Audio. On the local renderer I can watch over MX Player with the speciall codec activated, but whenever I switch to chromecast to watch the movie, it only playes video but not the audio.

Is there anything, i can do to hear the sound?

I am trying to find a solution, i really don't want to convert my files to mp4 and ACC.

Any help would be really appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] alecksh:
You're right, turns out I'm a complete moron. The server is running fine, except for a connection error. I get this on the Webapp:

And this in the server terminal:
[Android Apps and Games] genetic608:
Got it working! Turns out that the 403 was due to files in drive being "Shared with me".

Logging into the file owner's account works perfectly.

Thanx for the quick reply and excellent app!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
For on the fly DTS transcoding you need to install BubbleUPnP Server. Also see Settings > Chromecast in the app.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Normally this folder is supposed to work (I just tried on an mp3 and it worked).

Maybe it depends on some permissions that the owner set.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can you send me the BubbleUPnPServer.log.0 log file, found in the install directory to bubbleguuum@free.fr ?
[Android Apps and Games] genetic608:
From what I can tell, it seems to only affect video files.

I've checked the permissions on the folder and the accounts I tried both have "can edit" for everything.

I'm going to snoop around on the owner account and see if there's something I can change.

Something to note that may or may not be affecting this. The owner account is over it's storage limit(we payed for a larger drive storage plan and have since downgraded).

TS-112 JRE Issues

Just for anyone else if they're having trouble starting the BubbleUPnPServer on a QNAP TS-112.

If you see an error stating "JRE QPKG is NOT installed. Please Install First!", but you have actually installed java via the QPKG manager, this is a quirk because it is no longer called 'JRE', but now 'JRE_ARM' on this QNAP server.

To fix this issue:

1) Telnet into your NAS

2) Edit /share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/BubbleUPnPServer/BubbleUPnPServer.sh

3) Change ..."/getcfg JRE Install_Path"... to ..."/getcfg JRE_ARM Install_Path"... in two locations (about line 6, and line 22)

4) (save!)

5) Attempt to again start the BubbleUPnPServer via the normal qnap web gui. You shouldn't get the JRE missing error

Hopefully this helps anybody having issues...

Yes

Yes it shows up on my KooRaRoo and my ASUS RT-AC68U and other DLNA software
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
But does it show up on other upnp apps on your Android device such as UPnPlay?

Otherwise, try to to reboot your router an make sure it is updated to the latest firmware.

Feature Request: configure static server addresses

Hi Guys,

first of all: Thank you for this great app. It's one of the best best upnp-clients out there, even if compared to other os' clients ;).

As many other guys before me, I want to acces my home UPnP-server through a VPN by bubble upnp. As it was already mentioned in this thread, this is not too easy with the most VPNs, as ip-multicasts are not supported directly. There have been posted some scripts with manually routing multicastas as unicast-packet to the client with a fixed ip in the vpn, but this is not a very generic sollution.

The normal way to workaround this upnp-restriction, that is suggested by the bubbleupnp devs, is to use the bubbeupnp server (which also is a great application). Problem for the most VPN users as me is that mostly the vpn is "already there" and using an additional proxy-server seems to be an unneeded overhead. In my case i am additionaly running my upnp server directly on my home hardware-router (embedeed device with MIPS cpu), where a complete java runtime environment for running the server is simply not possible. My suggestion/feature request is, to add an option to bubbleupnp, to configure a static url to a media-servers device description to be independen of a the ssdp-discovery.

Are there any chances, that such an option is implemented in the future?

Maybe some more arguments for such an option:

- I think all VPNs available on android (without rooting your device) are layer 3 VPNs, so a briding mode (to transfer multicasts through the VPN) is not possible

- Many hardware routers have build in upnp-servers and also support VPN connections out of the box. Without modding your router (which in most cases is anyway not possible due to the limitted ressources) or using an additional device, where you can run the bubbleupnp server, it is curently not possible to acces the server remote

Greetings,

pasdVn

Casting images from network share

First off I love this app, it has made my Chromecast what I wanted it to be from the start.

The one problem I am having is that I am unable to cast images that are stored on a network share accessed via Universal Media Server. I am able to cast videos just fine. Images that are stored locally on the phone/tablet also work fine, as do Google+ images. If I try to cast an image from Universal Media Server, all I get is the BubbleUPnP text on the screen. If I change images on the phone/tablet, the text on the screen flashes, but never shows an image. I have also tried accessing the images via shared Windows Media Player library, and I get the same behavior.

I tried to get a BubbleUPnP log from both the server and the tablet, but in both cases nothing seemed to be generated.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Authentication Problems

I have just installed and am running BubbleUPnP server version 0.8.2 on a Ubuntu box running OpenJDK 1.6.0_30. I have port forwarding set up and the server shows both http and https as reachable from the internet. The server is up and running fine and I can connect to it from the free BubbleUPnP version 1.8.5.1 just fine.

I seem to be having a problem with the login/password settings though as no matter what I set the login/password to on either the server or the control point it always connects to the server and displays the WAN media servers and allows me to browse and play from them without any type of authentication failure at all. When I test the network connection from the Networks and Settings I get the "connection successful" toast no matter what I set either the login or password to. I have tried changing both the login and the password on the server, restarting the server, changing both the login and password on the control point and exiting and restarting the control point and nothing seems to make any difference. It always successfully connects no matter what combination of login/password is used.

Is there something I am missing to enable authentication?
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
Try authentication while NOT connected to your home WiFi. If you have an android phone, try it from your mobile data connection (turn WiFi off) so it will actually connect over the WAN.
[Android Apps and Games] mpuckett54:
I am using a Kindle Fire that has been flashed with the latest CM Kit-kat roms, so no mobile data connection. Guess this means that I will have to try this from another external WiFi connection then.

Hi,

congrats for your bubble family apps, they are greats.

I have a problem with bubbleUPnp setting a server.

The data is correct and it does connected to the server (test button says is ok).

But then nothing appear on the libraries, just my local media server and not the remote server.

Hello. I'm trying to use bubbleUPnP to stream Flac files into my chromecast. I've read in the application description that it uses transcoding in order to play these formats (not supported by the chromecast). My question is if there is any type of compression or if the resulting WAV files are lossless and fully compatible with the chromecast. Thank you :)

DirecTV Streaming

Has anyone ever been able to get streaming to/from DirecTV to work with any of the BubbleUPnP apps? I am able to stream music via WMP but nothing else seems to work. Is DirecTV a UPnP device or is there some private protocol going on with WMP?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. Do you mean it is not detected in Settings > Chromecast (all options ungrayed), while connected to your home WiFi ?

2. I don't have a Synology NAS so I'm not sure what version of ffmpeg come with it. If it is not too old it might be usable. Such a NAS will probably be powerful enough to transcode only audio (including audio in videos). If necessary, there are instructions to use alternate ffmpeg binaries, provided you can find them for your platform (Googling can help)

3. It is done automatically when BubbleUPnP Server is detected by the Android app and Settings > Chromecast > Preserve multichannel audio is enabled (it is by default).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No plan to add ability to connect to a device directly. I think someone had some success making SSDP discovery work on VPNs but it is not too easy nor universal.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If you long-click on this renderer in the Devices tab and select info, it doesn't list either WAV or LPCM ?

Most devices support either WAV or LPCM.

LPCM is mandatory format for all (certified) DLNA devices.

No current plan to add mp3 as a format for Audio Cast.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Sharing to BubbleUPnP directly doesn't work: you must share to semperVidLinks, then to BubbleUPnP.

When sharing to BubbleUPnP, it supposed to redirect automatically to semperVidLinks (or to display instructions for installing it) but this is not working anymore and I fixed it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The license verification depends on Google Play being installed and your Google account used for the purchase setup.

I think it is possible to install it on the Kindle (Googling it might help).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is not possible as the Audio Cast stream is a single continous stream.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's no degradation of quality when transcoding audio as WAV is used, which the Chromecast plays.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Some devices were only tested with WMP or expects WMP...

No problem here playing image from UMS to Chromecast. Maybe remove the share in UMS and readd it.

Chromecast Transcoding support greyed out

Hi, great app - I've been using it for a while, but now that my Chromecast has arrived I'm running into some issues with transcoding support. The options are greyed out in the Android App.

I'm running BubbleUPnP Server (0.8.2) on my Raspberry Pi (Raspbian) and have ffmpeg compiled and both it and ffmprobe are sitting in PATH (and in the BubbleUPnP Server install directory for good measure). The server shows as having audio and video transcoding supported in the web view and the logs show ffmpeg as found. I've opened ports 58050/tcp and 1900/udp on my Pi and the modem. I have restarted both my router and my Nexus 7. In case it makes a difference I have all my devices connected to a Netgear75 router in access point mode connected to my modem - both were restarted.

Still the server is not found in the app :(

Is there anything I've missed? Any help is appreciated.

Cheers.

P.S. I'm aware the Pi may not handle on-the-fly video transcoding well if at all.

Hey,

I have BubbleUPnP on my Nexus 4 and my Nexus 10 and I also have a DLNA Samsung TV, however for some reason BubbleUPnP takes forever to detect my TV but yet it is able to instantantiousley detect the other Nexus device...

It can take upto 10 minutes for it to find the TV even though it has a static IP...

Also, if I try and send a video that I have recorded on my Nexus 4 or Nexus 10 to the TV the TV rejects the media saying that it doesn't support media over 30+fps, how can I transcode or something to get around this?

Any ideas on what to do to solve these?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Your Samsung TV is not receiving UPnP search requests emitted by BubbleUPNP but will announce its presence every few minutes or so (that's why it finally appears). Try rebooting your WiFI router. Make sure its firmware is up to date.

[Android Apps and Games] mpuckett54:
Yes, it is quite strange. Using DirecTV and running against foobar and foo_upnp, browsing the library works just fine, however when attempting to play anything, the playback always fails. Using a profile that transcodes to mp3 produces nothing, transcoding to LPCM just plays random noise, but at least there is some sound output.

Running against WMP, browsing works exactly the same as against foo_upnp and the audio playback works as it should.
