Hello, I´m still actively looking for a solution for my question here.

I can´t get BubbleUPnP starting with the NAS- the only way to run it is to start it with Putty and run Putty in my computer- when I shut it down the server shuts down as well.

I can use the command

cd /mnt/HD/HD_a2/BubbleUPnP

java -jar BubbleUPnPServer.jar

to start it in Putty but obviously I shouldn´t be forced to run that in a computer when wanting the server to work. I shouldn´t be needing a daemon I read, so I was wondering if there´s something wrong with my file in ffp/start?

It´s now:

#!/ffp/bin/sh

cd /mnt/HD/HD_a2/BubbleUPnP && sh ./launch.sh

but it doesn´t do a thing like it should. Could anyone paste me (or send a Notepad+ file) the correct line(s) to autostart the server with NAS boot and keep it on until NAS is shut down?

Any help would be really appreciated, as I´ve been struggling with this for over a week now. :(

A skip forward/back 10 seconds controls

Hi guys,

First of all thank you for your amazing job !!!

But there is a little functionnality that is missing according to me. It could be great if there was a button in the player to skip back and forward of a constant time like 10 seconds. When you miss something in your it's difficult in the player to skip back of just 10 second.

Thanks from France

Use nohup to detach it from the terminal (Putty):

If you want to run BubbleUPnP Server on your NAS, you first have to install Java on it: http://minimserver.com/ejre-installer.html.

Then use the zip package of BubbleUPnP Server.

If you are not familiar with Linux and command lines this is not going to be easy.

That's why I recommend to install it on a Windows PC if you have one that runs 24/24.

....aaaaaand you got yourself a paying customer! :) Thank you sir, I will be making the purchase this weekend. This worked like a charm!

Just one question- I do have quite a load of music in my fileserver so I can understand the process is slow, but any idea why I keep getting timeout on browsing music after adding my (5000+ songs) library to shares? The artists, etc are showing after some waiting and reloading, but as soon as I click e.g. artist, it loads until it gets a timeout. Any idea what could cause this? All tags are done carefully, so it shouldn´t be of those.

The two songs I shared first as a test worked without any problems, so I could guess it´s about taking some time, but getting timeouts every time for two hours in a row shouldn´t really be normal, right?

Possibility of implementing DayDream.

Hey I was just thinking it would be cool to be able to use bubble upnp through daydream to use my tablet to display slideshows of photos pulled from my network. That would be another great function to what is already a great swiss army knife.

v1.7.3p3 beta available shortly through the beta subscription:

local renderer: high quality downsampling of > 48Khz lossless audio (FLAC, ALAC, WAV, LPCM) to 44.1 or 48Khz, with the SoX resampler. Also fixes the old hires audio downsampling bug producing mono output. Not supported on GoogleTV.

workarounded Medion renderer bug preventing track advance

download manager improvements:

recursive folder downloading discards eventual duplicates (ex: artist folder containing albums as separate folders and an aggregate "All Tracks" folder)

do not redownload a file if it was already downloaded (allows syncing of a folder)

report downloaded, failed, existing file counts in notification

Hi,

My local rendereres used to show up in my Lan perfectly till a few days back, but now it just does not show up!

Tries it in my note2, tab2, and android stick!

I was able to play media from my phone/Tab on my smart tv/android tv few days back!!

I have tried re installing multiple times, today i installed the latest beta too, still the same problem.

My Lan has no issues as everything else works fine, also not bubbleupnp renderes are visible!

Can no longer see B-UPnP renderers from other controllers on LAN

I'm having the same problem as described below. I've been using BubbleUPnP for a while now, with multiple renderers in my LAN (phones, tablet, HDMI stick, etc.) -- just recently, I'm no longer able to see any of the renderers from the LAN.

This is a problem, as I've become quite dependent on this typically great piece of software.

Currently running 1.7.2.2 w/license

If none of your devices are discovered anymore, this really looks like a router gone kaboom issue or some other networking problem unrelated to the app. Try rebooting your WiFi router and double check your Android device is connected to the correct network.

IOS Support

Thinking about going from Android to iPhone 5s (Love the Fingerprint Reader - among other things) but the main thing holding me back is the wonderful capabilities that Bubble UPNP has provided for me to access my DLNA media source with my Atrix 4G Android phone.

I know in the past you you have not been interested in supporting IOS - but have you re-considered this or at least thought about an IOS app similar to your windows App where you just make the DLNA devices available on the remote devices network (UDP Multicast to UNICAST - back to Multicast). Then you would not have to do a fulll Media player/renderer port to IOS - just the DLNA re-broadcast - IOS users could choose their own DLNA app on their iPhone then.

Would you be willing to work with an IOS developer to farm this app out to them ?

I would personally be willing to contribute $50 to $100 to this effort.

Any thoughts ??

my god! +425 pages.

its gonna be impossible to me to read the full post to find the answer to my question, so sorry.As i read in the specs, Internet streaming can be sent to a smartv but I'm not Sure. An example : got a tablet and i can watch TV shows and mobies via certain apps with built in player (no way to choose). its possible to send this streem to the smartv? i have tried local media and it works ok with this software.

thanks in advance.

I was going through the thread to look for a solution to get DLNA streaming MKV to an Apple TV using BubbleUPNP. Saw this but this seems to work only for Audio?

I got a software for Beamer for Mac that allows you to just drag and drop a MKV and stream to the Apple TV... Why hasn't there been anything like that for IOS or Android. DLNA Server to AppleTV.

Anyone here can tell me if there are other software out there I can run on a server to get this going?
[Android Apps and Games] tacchan23:
These last few days I have been trying many UPnP/DLNA apps and BubbleUPnP was really the best one for my intended usage:

1) can display external subtitles

2) the photo gallery correctly rotates the photos based on exif

No other apps could do both (only XBMC could display subtitles but photos weren't working at all)

But as number 2) is working perfectly on my Note2, on my new Android Box the pictures aren't being rotated.

I made a Titanium backup from my phone to the box, so all the BubbleUPnP settings are the same too.

In both cases, I am streaming directly from my Win8 PC with Mezzmo to BubbleUPnP Local Renderer

Any idea why it happens and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

[Feature request] cloning User-Agents

Hi bubbleguuum,

me again. ;) I think it would be a really great feature if BubbleUPnP had an option to read the Renderers User-Agent and forward it to the library(e.g. plex) instead of "User-Agent: Android/4.3 UPnP/1.0 BubbleUPnP/1.7.3p3". You know why I am asking this, but I think it could be very useful for other users, too. So the library could load its profiles/preferences for each Renderer. Would you mind to implement it? :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the great work you do! ;)

Greets!
[Android Apps and Games] c0l3:
hey bubble,

I'm using your app for several weeks with an android phone for sending and an andriod phone for recieving content and absolutely loving it.

I mostly use other apps (youtube, soundcloud) to select content to stream. Which leads to my question. Everytime I share an app with BubbleUpnp the track is immediately played. I would like an option where tracks would be appended to the playlist instead overnighting everything.

Another thing I noticed but sadly issn't in your control is the fact that you can't skip the SemperVid Links app all together and forward the youtube link with Default Quality to the reciever. You always have to do a second click to share to BubbleUpnp. The Soundcloud app has this option to directly go to BubbleUpnp. Sadly the SemperVid Links Developer seems missing.

Keep up with your good work

BubbleUPnP not available to other devices in network

Just to be clear, my problem is just with BubbleUPnP not announcing itself to the network (or not being accessible). To other devices on the network it doesn't appear as a source or a renderer. All other DLNA apps, servers, renderers, etc. in my network appear and work just fine, both wired and wireless.

This problem appeared on all my android devices running BubbleUPnp around the same time, after the recent update earlier in September -- at least that's the closest I can pin it down to.

To my eye, the logfile doesn't look especially helpful for this issue, but I'm sending it along to the author via email in case it will help get this issue resolved.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, I need to add an option to make it possible to choose between "enqueueing and playing" and just "enqueueing", with the ability to select one of these action as the default or to ask interactively (annoying as it adds another intermediary step).

I wish it was possible too, but it can only be done in semperVidLinks...
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Even if it might seem a good idea, it is neither practical nor desirable.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No idea why you get rotated photos on one device but not the other. Unless Mezzmo is performing the rotation ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No plan for such iOS app although I can see how it would be interesting.

Note that if your iPhone is connected to a WiFi network on which you can run java programs, you can use BubbleUPnP Tether Client to rebroadcast BubbleUPnP Server managed media servers and have them visible on iOS

LG tv has gone missing from renderers list

Hi,

I'm using the licensed version on bubble and have been enjoying it for a while now, however I recently bought a second LG smart tv and after connecting it to my network the original tv has disappeared off the list of render's.

I've gone through settings checking everything, changed the names on both sets so I can differentiate between them to no result.

The offending tv can see my media server as well as some of the bubble client servers but none of my android devices that run bubble upnp can see the tv.

Any and all help very gratefully received.

Many thanks

[Android Apps and Games] tacchan23:
I tried also TVmobili and TVersity but I got the same result. Images are correctly rotated on my Note 2 but they aren't on my Android Box.

I also noticed that on the Android Box the images are stretched in height to fit the screen but not in wight... so all are deformed.

This also happens when use QuickPic or Android Gallery to show images on local folders.

So I guess there is something related to Android itself about displaying images...

Turned out to be just a Networking/Router Issue

Well, here's my mea culpa. Sorry for spinning up about nothing. No problems with BubbleUPnP, just a temporary problem with my network/router. Strange behavior, since other UPnP/DLNA stuff was still working, which is why I didn't just reboot the router at first.

After a router reboot, everything, including the BubbleUPnP nodes showed up just fine.

Rule#1 of UPnP: Reboot/Fix your router before bothering anyone else with your problems. ;)

Sorry about the noise, now back to real issues.

Can't install Pro

I bought a Android $.1.2 tablet in China and live in California.

I installed and tested the free version of Bubbleup and it seems to fit my needs so I bought the license, but during installation of the license I get an error saying it cannot install on either the internal or external memory.

Other apps do not seem to be available that I have on my other android tablets and phones.

I'm thinking the tablet thinks its in China and this app, and others are blocked internationally?

I have set the correct Pacific Time zone.

I have registered the tablet on Google. I have 6+ g space on the sd card.

What's happening?

Missing Composer tag on library track listing + Item height issue, etc

I am a new user of BubbleUPnP, which I use in conjunction with MinimServer, and my primary interest is in classical music. So far, three problems have arisen.

I have set Display/Item height to 'large' in BubbleUPnP to enable the display of the Composer tag but there appears to be a bug, or at least an inconsistency, in the presentation of this tag when browsing a library. For example, when drilling down to Bruckner's 8th Symphony, I first see a screen showing the album cover with 4 lines of text beside it for Work (provided by MinimServer remapping my custom Work tag to the Album tag), Artist, Composer (correctly showing 'Bruckner') and a track count. However, when I then select this item to view the tracks, the 4 lines of text beside the album cover now show Work, Artist, [blank] and Genre. The composer name does not appear anywhere on this screen even though there is a blank row beside the album cover and within every track description. I would be very grateful if this omission was fixed.

Another issue is that the 'large' item height setting has been implemented in a rather basic 'all or nothing' fashion. For example, every list of composers, genres, albums, etc, preceding the selection of a specific album or work is also presented using the same large vertical spacing when only one line is needed. This triples the amount of scrolling required and serves no useful purpose. I realise that this might require a bit of work to resolve but I think the user benefits are obvious.

My final point is that I think it unnecessary for the composer name on the Now Playing screen to be preceded by the words 'Composed by'. To my eyes, this appears both redundant and slightly patronising. When selecting one of your own recordings of a work called, for example, 'Symphony No 5 in C minor', with the name 'Beethoven' underneath, you don't really need to have it explained that Beethoven was the composer, especially when it only appears if you have deliberately selected the Now Playing/Show composer setting. Removing this prefix would allow more space when you have multiple composers and would be more consistent, as BubbleUPnP doesn't show the prefix for the Composer tag in the library listings.

Despite these points, I still consider the combination of BubbleUPnP and MinimServer to be a 'dream team' for classical music :)

David
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. Ok, fixed.

2. Not sure I understand what you mean but unlikely there will be a change here

3. Ok, I've removed the "Composed by" prefix entirely, with the side effect of more room available for the composer on phones.
[Android Apps and Games] haggis999:
Many thanks for fixing items 1 and 3.

The top level of my MinimServer library browsing tree looks like this when Item Height is set to 'small' (ignoring Bookmarks and Virtual folders, which double the length of this list),

128 albums

925 items

Genre (4)

Sub-Genre (7)

Composer (214)

Work (652)

[folder view]
​

That list is displayed as follows when Item Height is set to 'large'. The extra vertical spacing creates nothing but user inconvenience, as more scrolling is required.

128 albums

925 items

Genre (4)

Sub-Genre (7)

Composer (214)

Work (652)

[folder view]
​

For space reasons, I have deliberately used a relatively short list as an example. Obviously, the problem is much worse with my list of composers. I've only ripped 128 CD albums so far out of a collection of over 1,000 CDs and I already have no less than 214 composer names. Over the next few months, that list will grow much longer.

I use a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 'phablet' and will be faced with a considerable amount of vertical scrolling to reach Wagner or Vivaldi if this problem is not addressed. As far as I can see, no one benefits from applying your Item Height setting to such lists, which will always be limited to a single line of text. It is only when you drill down past any category lists to view things like albums and track listings that the variable Item Height setting serves a useful purpose.

BubbleUPnP 1.7.2.2 – bugs/missing features

Hi,

I tested various UPnP/DLNA Control Points/Renderer and BubbleUPnP is one of the most sophisticated. Nevertheless I encountered the following issues:

1.	No seeking in ALAC files (m4a)

2.	No gapless play for ALAC files (m4a)

3.	Song will not play if there is a question mark ("?") in the "album" tag - tested with MP3 (ID3v2.3 Tag) and ALAC files (MP4 Tag)

4.	"Now Playing" sometimes shows incorrect metadata:

4.1.	wrong codec, "AAC" when playing ALAC file (transcoding is switched off)

4.2.	wrong bitrate, e.g. "41kbps" when playing 320kbps MP3 file (ID3v2.3 Tag, transcoding is switched off)

4.3.	wrong year, e.g. 2013 and the "year" tag is set to 1995 (MP4 Tag)

I could've sworn I asked this already, but a search pulls nothing. I have my large music collection on PogoPlug Cloud Unlimited...is there a way to get that Cloud service added to our Cloud Services List? AFAIK, PogoPlug isn't particularly API-friendly, but StorageMadeEasy (SME) has a Cloud services aggregator that works with PogoPlug, so I'm hoping a decompile and inspection may help give clues to signing in with PogoPlug Cloud.

Ok, I've fixed the large height of some folders to be of standard height, in "Large" size mode. So unused vertical space is gone.

In case you didn't notice, you can fast scroll any folder holding a large number of items using the fast scroll thumb on the right (start scrolling normally, then scroll the blue thumb). it will even show an alphabet.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. Correct, I've fixed it

2. Not possible because ALAC doesn't go through the Android regular media player, providing gapless. If you want gapless with ALAC, you'll have to configure Twonky to convert it to WAV.

3. Probable Twonky issue.

4.1. weird

4.2. probable Twonky bug as BubbleUPNP displays the bitrate set by the media server

4.3 probable Twonky bug as BubbleUPNP displays the year set by the media server

For 3 and 4.x problems, send me a separate log file (see first post of this topic for instructions).

Note that Twonky 5.x is old and 6.x or 7.x is much much better.

I am very grateful for your rapid and positive response :). Thanks also for reminding me about your excellent fast scrolling facility.

Another issue that has begun to come to my attention is the long time it can take to step back to the root of the library. I was therefore pleased to note in the What's New section for BubbleUPnP on Google Play that version 1.7.2 provided a solution, i.e. long-pressing the back key. However, this does not work on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (running Android 4.1.2). A long press on the back key just takes me back one level.
