The local media server now recognizes .mts and .m2ts.

If your problem is something else, please be more specific.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I do not see m2ts files from freebox v6 media server
[Android Apps and Games] Doemer:
I would like to add something to the wishlist too :)

In the Remote Upnp Network settings there is an Option "Active on connection" Could you please add the possibility to NOT make a remote Connection when connected to a specified WLAN Network Name (SIDD) Its awesome to have have remote upnp network avaiable wherever I am, but not on my WIFI Network at home :)

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
And you assume that BubbleUPnP is responsible to make them magically appear ?

BubbleUPnP lists whatever videos the freebox return to the app. It there's no mts, then it doesn't support it.
[Android Apps and Games] :
m2ts are on my freebox but i do not see them within bubbleupnp
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Well, I give up on explaining why...
[Android Apps and Games] mhagnumdw:
Other DLNA player can view the m2ts files that are being provided by its Freebox v6 media server?

I am not sure: but if the Freebox v6 media server does not recognize the M2TS files such as video files, it will send these files to the player DLNA?

I'm having trouble with getting bubbleupnp working on my Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet. It was working a few months ago.

When I try to connect to my foobar2k at home, I get this popup when testing:

"Connection Failed

The remote server could not be joined: java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "[My external IP]": Non-recoverable failure in name resolution "

I saw that someone in the thread asked this a while ago, but it wasn't really answered. I'm suspecting it has to do with the fact that I started using openDNS on my router, but I have no idea how that creates a problem or what I should do.

1.8.1 + server 0.8.1 I still can stream to my chromecast from the WAN side. (Ie if I take my Chromecast to a friend's house)

The video files are MKV. At Home the MKV works just fine locally via Chromecast. Music works though

Is this by design or a bug?

Can't Pause MX Player Remotely

I have a licensed version of BubbleUPnP with MX Player. When I use my bubble on my phone to remote control an Android mini PC with bubble and MX player the pause function doesn't work.

hello, thanks for all the hard work you've put into this great program. but i'm having an issue.

i've installed 0.8.1 on windows and everything works fine. it will transcode my mkv files to play via chromecast. however, i have installed 0.8.1 on raspberry pi. i have forwarded 58052 and 58053 to the pi's internal IP address and changed the ports in the configuration.xml file. the server is running and both http and https is reachable to the internet. when i go to play a file to the chromecast it acts like its going to send, the chromecast shows the movie title and yellow progress marker, but then nothing.

i've looked at the log files and can't find anything that sticks out to me. i've compare logs from pi to windows and nothing i can see. i am not running both windows and pi server at the sametime.

i'm at a loss to why windows works but pi won't. even though pi doesn't show any errors, etc.. i have a copy of the pi's log file if you would care to take a look.

i've gone into bubbleupnp on android settings/chromecast and it sees the server and says transcoding is available, but the pi server for whatever reason can't get video to chromecast.

any help would be greatly appreciated as i don't want to leave a windows machine on 24/7 to transcode videos for chromecast.

FLAC, Chromecast and BubbleUPnPServer Transcoding

Hello,

I am running BubbleUPnPServer version 0.8.1 on a Mac Mini, and the latest control point on a Nexus 7 tablet. I purchased and updated a Chromecast yesterday. Works great with supported media. I can play MP3 and AAC files via BubbleUPnP to the Chromecast without difficulty - really, really cool solution and nice work!

When I attempt to play a FLAC file (16 bit, 44.1kHz), it looks like it's going to start playing and then it hangs at 0:00. I looked at the server, turned on logging, restarted everything, but I don't see any output into the server log file. So, I'm not sure what to try next to trouble shoot.

I have verified in the BubbleUPnP control point that the server is detected, shows the same version, and that transcoding is enabled. I am alternating between Twonky 7 (on a NAS) and MinimServer on the same Mac Mini as BubbleUPnP Server. The files playback without errors to other renderers.

Is anyone else getting FLAC transcoding to work to their Chromecast?

Thanks, in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] ajw1980:
Ok. Yes I see that now. I would not say it works well with transcoding, though. It is not possible to hit skip several times in a row to skip like 2-3 minutes right away. Every time you hit the skip button, you have to wait for the stream to seek before it can be pressed again which takes a few seconds. It would be nice be able to able hit skip a few times before the stream actually started seeking.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Let's say that seeking combined transcoding is special and impose some restrictions.

However it might be possible to improve seek by +/- 30s and make it reasonably fast, if only audio is transcoded.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It works fine on my setup. Send me an Android BubbleUPnP log file attempting to play a FLAC (see first post for logging instructions)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Send me the Pi BubbleUPnP Server log file (bubbleguuum@free.fr). There can be quite a few causes of failure such as ffmpeg with missing codecs or failure to call ffprobe in the cloud. Btw, the Pi is not powerful enough to transcode video but should be sufficient to transcode audio (in music), and audio in videos.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
- are your mp4 subtitles external srt ?

- what about the mkv ? Are they embedded or srt ?

If your media server associate srt to a video, BubbleUPnP shows it next to the codec. For example it would display "MKV, subtitles" instead of just "MKV".
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Roku is known to not work with Audio Cast.

It is due to Roku doing brain dead WAV buffering, incompatible with realtime streams like Audio Cast.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I will have to check but it is supposed to work.
[Android Apps and Games] GJSmith3rd:
Bummer. Thanks, I tried to search the thread but most references were to a roku audio streaming device. Indeed, everything works fine with audiocast and xbmc.

It is true that Audio Cast should be made easier to toggle but I've been rather busy with Chromecast lately.

Only shows one of the drives on my NAS

I've just bought the licence for the bubbleupnp app on Android hoping that it would resolve my issue but to no avail.

the app identifies my dlink 320L NAS under devices but when I browse my library it only shows volume1 as folders and not volume2 where the main bulk of my videos reside.

I want to avoid using a pc based server if possible as I don't want to keep my main pc on every time I use the app.

Does anyone have a similar issue or know how to resolve it?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's not a BubleUPNP issue since it will list only what your media server returns.

Check the configuration of your Dlink media server, if you can specify paths to scan.
[Android Apps and Games] brian_lewis67:
Sorry if I'm being thick but what media server would that be as I'm not aware that I have a media server set up anywhere other than Plex
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If Plex is running on your DLink NAS then configure it with the paths containing your media (eg volume2).

Check in its interface that it indexed all your media succesfully then try browsing again in BubbleUPnP (use Menu > Reload in the Library tab to refresh, if you made changes to Plex).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can anyone experiencing seeking in Chromecast video transcodes only working once (that is: after seeking, elapsed time is updated but total duration is lost, making seeking again impossible), send me a log file seeking once in such video (see first post for instructions) ?
[Android Apps and Games] icebox4u:
Hey all,

I am currently attempting to configure BubbleUPnP Server / Universal Media Player on my HTPC. I would also like to use the Android app to stream via a mobile network connection on the road.

I have configured UMS to share my folder with media on it, and I can successfully play video from BubbleUPnP for Android via MXPlayerPro on my home WiFi network (shows video in Library that I added to UMS).

Unfortunately, as soon as I disconnect from my WiFi, and connect via a mobile connection (which is successful.. the Library still populates the contents of my shared UMS library), I am no longer able to play any video. There is a pink background/green movie reel icon on the left hand of all media in the library, and all of the movie titles are now organized in an #----TRANSCODE----# folder, unplayable.

Any ideas, thoughts, or suggestions on getting this to work properly? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] thra1982:
Yes, my .mp4 subtitles are external .srt files, with same name as the .mp4

And so are the .mkv subtitles. External .srt and same name as .mkv

The .mp4's just show up as "MP4" and the .mkv's show up as "MKV, subtitles" and works fine.

Located on the same NAS shared with DNLA.

THanks for the quick responses.

Plex server runs on my pc. The Nas has it's own media server but that is set up for both drives which is why I'm confused on why I see one but not the other. I'm in the process of rebuilding the NAS server and will reload the bubble app to see if it sorts it out.

bubbleupnp - current renderer

Great streaming APP!

But since one oft the last updates there is not to see last selected renderer after APP has been activated after sleep modus. Everytime it has switched to local renderer after wake up so I have to switch back to my used one. Before it was fine.

I use tablet Nexus 7 (2013). No other changes or other updates were done meantime.

Some ideas?

Regards

Andreas
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok. For some obscure reason, your NAS media server doesn't associate srt to mp4, thus BubbleUPnP doesn't have the info (and unlike popular belief, cannot "guess it").

A possible solution is to copy the srt in the BubbleUPnP/subtitles directory on the SD card.
[Android Apps and Games] thra1982:
Thanks. Now it shows up, "MP4, subtitles (local)", when put on the SD card!

Could it just be my NAS or is it a general problem? Can I provide any log or something?

Update: Pausing remotely from my phone does work with the default Rockchip DLNA renderer/player named eHomeMediaCenter. In this case I have bubble on my phone as the remote, and eHomeMediaCenter as the DMR playing content from my NAS and I have bubble disabled.

Perhaps the problem is with MX Player. I tried about 10 other Android players with bubble, but I guess MX player is the ONLY player that is supposed to support pause.

Errors with FFMPEG

First off thanks for the work in the Bubbleupnp server. I'm trying to play some files on my chromecast. They are mkv files with audio encoded in AC3, so if they are not transcoded the video works fine, but there is no audio, so I'm trying to do the audio transcoding on my raspberry pi.

I installed ffmpeg and the bubbleupnp server and I'm using the BubbleuPNP on my tablet to send it to the Chromecast. However the file doesn't play and I see the errors below in my BubbleUPNP server log. I did a little searching around and I think it may be a version of ffmpeg that uses a different syntax for some of the options.

How would I fix this? Do I need to get a different version of ffmpeg? If so how do I tell the bubbleUPNP server to use that version? Or is there someplace I can edit to change the parameters used to call ffmpeg? And what should I change them to?

Several times my phone went to sleep while playing a file from Upnp (via Serviio through Bupnp server to Chromecast. After waking up the phone, trying to stop playback from the app didn't work, neither did adjusting the volume. I had to force exit the app, then run it again to regain control.

Maybe the app should try to regain connection to Chromecast when woken once the phone has gone to sleep for a period of time?
[Android Apps and Games] mrbo:
I'm running it on a fairly powerful quad core Linux system, so performance isn't an issue. I went ahead and built a new version of ffmpeg directly from the git repository source code and transcoding works fine for me now, but I still can't get the 1080p phone video to play smoothly. The transcoding speed doesn't seem to be an issue, because when I monitor the CPU usage on the server, it doesn't get anywhere near 100% (it's somewhere around 35% when ffmpeg is running). You mentioned that I should be able to tell it to down-res to 720p but I don't see an option in the app to enable that. For what it's worth, I can stream high definition content to my Chromecast from Netflix all day long and it never pauses to buffer, so I don't think the WiFi bandwidth is the problem. Any other suggestions what I should look at?

[Android Apps and Games] mrbo:
I got it to play the phone video smoothly one time, but haven't been able to repeat it since then. I'm at a loss what could be wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This is a known issue on the Pi: the ffmpeg version on the Pi (0.8.6) is too old and rejects some of the newer ffmpeg command line options.

The solution is to use a newer version of ffmpeg.

There are recent binaries available here. To make use of them, just drop the ffmpeg and ffprobe binaries in the BubbleUPnP Server installtion directory (where startup script launch.sh is found).

Make sure the binaries are executable. Then, assuming you use the launch.sh script to start the server, it should automatically pick the new ffmpeg/ffprobe versions, which you can check looking at the log.

If you test this, please report if it is working or not (so I can document it), and if it is not working, send me the server log file (bubbleguuum@free.fr)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is not really supposed to happen, unless bad things happen like WiFi disconnections.

What is your phone and Android version ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
First, Netflix (and others) use adaptive streaming: that is, it adapts video bitrate to your Internet bandwidth available.

BubbleUPnP Server doesn't do that (it can't, as it works exclusively with existing http streams, not files). If you play a video whose bitrate is higher to the max bitrate specified in Settings > Chromecast (that is definitely the case for these 1080p cam videos) and if "Enforce max bitrate" is enabled, then it will transcode the video to make its bitrate lower or equal to the specified max bitrate. By default, the max bitrate is 10000Kbps. Maybe it is too much (you can bet that Netflix videos are much much lower than that). Try 5000. If you still cannot have it play smoothly, please send me the BubbleUPnP Server log file (bubbleguuum@free.fr).

Additionaly, 1080p videos that get transcoded to meet the max bitrate are always transcoded to 720p. This is necessary because transcoding 1080p to 1080p requires way too much CPU, even on super powerful PCs.

Another possible cause of not smooth playback of such video is that the CPU cannot transcode fast enough, but according to the CPU usage you reported, this is not the case.
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
Doubt it's wifi disconnection related, the Chromecast and phone are right beside the router. DLNA PC is connected via powerline ethernet which has been rock stable so far. But that's my uneducated guess. :D Also, during adjustment of volume there was a toast saying that volume adjustment didn't work because it wasn't connected iirc.

Nexus 5, 4.4.2.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok. Given how the Chromecast works, it is very well possible the connection is lost after some time. Can you give me the exact toast message you get when operating volume ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Additional questions:

Is your Nexus rooted and did you remove some permissions to Google Play Services or used any other app that can affect how Google Play Services operates ?

Desperately needing BubbleUPnP Android serving my phone's media files to Syabas PopcornHour C200 renderer! Sorry to repeat #5542 from p555.

Objective:

Android phone -> BubbleUPnP ?) -> {PopcornHour C200 -> HDMI} -> TV screen **)

?) currently only gateway out of Android phone?

**) TV without built-in UPnP

BubbleUPnP Android should serve to PopCornHour the media files from the Android phone.

(I'd like to use my existing 'PCH C200 HDMI-dongle' because I do not have a Google 'Chromecast HDMI-dongle' and Amazon does not ship one to my country).

Currently, BubbleUPnP Android doesn't provide a working PopcornHour server profile. It does not hand over the media files in a way that PCH C200 can understand. (My uneducated guess is that PCH C200 may not be smart enough to fully understand BubbleUPnP Android's advanced handshake dialog syntax to play the selected media file.)

On the other hand, BubbleUPnP Android as renderer (using BSplayer and MX Player as external players) plays all media files from PCH C200 library. The handshake dialog works perfectly well in this direction the complete filesystem down to each selected media file. Even direct jump to new time positions on the time line work flawlessly (successfully tested with several 3+ hours opera videos in 720p HD).

Other servers, like Serviio, WMP, old myiHome, Nero MediaHome 4 (from year 2009) serve well from Windows to PCH C200. Why not BubbleUPnP?

Any ideas?

Please comment and help!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I've fixed the problem with MX Player. Media keys action only works directed to MX Player when sending a key up event. Before, it was key down.

Pausing is supposed to work with any video player app handling media buttons for control.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
They are all doing transcoding, which is propbably required to have most stuff playable on the PCH.

The BubbleUPnP local media server doesn't do any transcoding: if the renderer is not able do play the media natively, then it doesn't play.

In any case, you can still send me a log file playing a problematic video (see first post of this topic for details).
