I'm using BubbleUPnP on my ZTE Blade in combination with my popcorn hour A-210. It works great. I can assign the popcorn as library and as renderer.

My GF has a SE Xperia mini pro. But on her phone the popcorn isn't detected at all. How come?

on my popcorn I have the standard UPnP and the Illite media server installed.

other question: I never see album art. Is there any way of making this work in this set-up?
[Android Apps and Games] SorryGoFish:
I'm having trouble streaming a few MKV files through BubbleUPnP server. They work when I'm on my home network. I can play other MKV files, so I don't think it's the container.

Here's a link to the lines that show up in the log.

When I run `file` for the non-playing file I get "EBML file, creator matroska". Another MKV file that does play correctly is reported as "Matroska data" by `file`.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Indeed

It looks like you are doing case-sensitive substring search to me instead of case-insensitive.

Several CPs accessing the same renderer is a recipe for chaos and flawed since forever.

That's what OpenHome renderers are for, even if you probably still not care about them.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Android bug on this phone ? router bug with this phone ? PCH bug ?

These are not things unheard of.

Probably your PCH does not index album art thus does not expose it to the app.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Does ffmpeg runs without error if on the command line you execute:

ffmpeg -async 1 -i "http://192.168.1.15:52308/%2525/0A00A6CD5FCCB1F4CB1A7EC7DFB39491%252FStargate%2520SG-1%2520-%25202x04%2520-%2520The%2520Gamekeeper.mkv" -vf scale="trunc(oh*a/2)*2:240" -ab 64000 -vcodec libx264 -preset medium -acodec libmp3lame -ac 2 -f avi test.mp4
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Agreed, on app startup it shouldn't search for the previous (non-local) renderer on mobile data or without network since the only available renderer is the local renderer. Il will fix that.

The "searching for devices" popup on app start *only* appears if the last current renderer was an external renderer (eg it was not the local renderer). But there seem to be a bug when there is no network, as shown in your screenshots. I will look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is probably not a real format not supported error, but a subtle DLNA error because of the app returning something else than what the TV expects, when it makes stream requests.

Can you send me a log file as explained in the first post of this topic, playing a youtube video to your TV ?
[Android Apps and Games] mcaulifn:
I am also having this issue with my Bionic. I haven't installed an new UPnP apps since it first worked. I tried to run the netstat (w/ and w/o parameters) but nothing is showing up listening. Also, a log file is not being created. I checked the directory.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can you explain again in detail what the issue is ?
[Android Apps and Games] mcaulifn:
Looks like it didn't quote both.

On startup, I get the message "There was a problem initializing the UPnP service (check that you have some kind of network connectivity) BubbleUPnP will exit"
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is possible the problem is something else than a network problem.

Can you record and send me a log (bubbleguuum at free.fr) with the free app aLogcat

(if your device is running Android 4.1+ this is not possible anymore) :

on your SD card, create an empty file named force_log in directory Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp. This will force app logging since you cannot enable it manually in the app settings

install the free app aLogcat: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat

launch BubbleUPnP

launch aLogcat and use Menu > Save to save a log file on the SDCard. It will be located in directory "alogcat" at the root of the SDCard.

Send me that file

on you SD card remove Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp/force_log
[Android Apps and Games] mcaulifn:
Thanks! I sent the logs this moning.
[Android Apps and Games] andrewfg:
Ah-Ha!! I didn't even think of that :(

I guess it is a bit more complex than "case sensistive" vs. "non case sensitive", because I think the LMS search engine accepts a word to begin with a capital or lower case letter (i.e. "mouse" or "Mouse") but it does not allow for two capital letters at the start "ZZ" as opposed to "zz" or "Zz"...

Yup! The Whitebear is in bed with UPnP, and he does not like to think about other things :)

But, (joking aside), my point is that if you would adopt my suggestion, it would be a big step in avoiding (or at least ameliorating) said chaos...
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok, the log shows that you are affected by this Android issue, which

happens on some rare devices while enumerating network interfaces, due to a bug parsing interface indexes > 255.

This bug is fixed in Jelly bean think.

Try rebooting your device to try reinitializing that interface index. If the app still show the same error then it cannot be fixed.

Album Art

Hi All. Running Bubble on my Samsung Galaxy 2 phone. Media is on a Windows 7 PC running Windows Media Center at home over WiFi. The issue I have is I don't see Album art when viewing music in the Album view. Now the interesting point is that i DO see the album art when you drill down to individual tracks/files. It's like the art is associated with each individual track and not associated the 'collection' of tracks as a whole. Has anyone seen this ? I've tried disable album art caching then re-enable, tried reinstalling bubble, reboots of phone etc, even tried media scanner (force manual scan) app as suggested in this forum. Help !!!

DLNA on Onkyo ABX-N300 stopped working with recent update

Hello,

my Onkyo ABX-N300 stopped working with BubbleUPNP (Error 501) - the Onkyo works with Windows Media Player and BubbleUPNP with my other DLNA Device, though. I haven't been at home for a while, so there were version changes of the OS (from 4.1.x to 4.2.1 ) and BubbleUPNP.

Any Ideas?

Kind regards

M3u Playlist

Hi,

Thanks for this great app.:good:

Works like a charm on my galaxy tab7.7 getting music from my nas and streaming it to my xtreamer sidewinder3 media player.

I have one question.

Is it possible to load M3u playlist wich are on mij nas drive where also my music files are.

The M3u files are relative to the music files.

................

Have the answer already.

Didn't look on mij tab in the library, there is a map added called playlists by BubbleUPnP, but its not on the place where i was expecting them.

There are all mij music playlists stored bij BubbleUPnp.

Thanks anyway, i love this app.

BubbleUPnP Server proxy

When I try to play FLAC files transcoded to LPCM my renderer does not play them (no error message, just silence) when I use Asset UPnP (which I prefer to use) as server. If I use Serviio as server instead I get sound. Seek however does just give me white noise.

The difference between the two servers seems to be how the LPCM file is advertised.

Is this something that could be corrected by using the BubbleUPnP Server proxy? The current version of the proxy does not fix the problem and it seems the Asset UPnP developer does not intent to fix this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] sjbenes:
One question, one possible issue.

OK, I love this app, and I had a question about it's functionality. Am I able to select two or more renderers at one time, to sync playback in multiple rooms? It doesn't seem like that's the case. If not, is it possible with BubbleUPnP Server?

Also, I noticed a quirky thing. I run CM7 on my nook tablet via a bootable SD card. The app works really great on it, but I noticed that when it goes into screensaver mode and blacks out the screen, when I try to wake it up and log into it again, it reboots the operating system. The that the screen is dark, the music does continue to play without any glitch, but logging back into it seems to cause it to want to reboot. My current solution is to set the screen time out to the max (30 min), and hope that I'll go over and touch the screen before that time is up. I'm not sure if this is a CM7 issue or a BubbleUPnp issue. Maybe there's a setting I'm missing? Anyway, still love the app, and I'm planning on receiving a Galaxy Tab 2 for Christmas to use as my home entertainment device, but it would be nice to know what my current problem is :silly: ...
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Theorically a BubbleUPnP Server proxy of Asset would work but you'd need to have Asset not set a LPCM stream resource (for the proxy to replace it).

I do not think you can configure Asset to not set a LPCM resource per item.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Exepected as I don't think WMP / WMC returns album art for folders containing albums while it does for individual tracks.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Try rebooting your Onkyo ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Synced playback to multiple renderers is not possible with UPnP: you'd get 0-5s lag between renderers.

Second problem is very unusual. Any app causing Android to reboot is a ROM issue, not an app issue.
[Android Apps and Games] sjbenes:
I thought as much on both questions. I suspected that two different devices wouldn't be able to access the same file at the same time, that would probably take a separate proprietary network altogether (maybe similar to what Sonos uses). Not a big deal, just curious. For the second question, I'll post that question to the ROM developer. Thanks for the response.
[Android Apps and Games] jne67:
Actually I think you can. From the Asset UPnP manual:
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP 1.6.4 will soon be available on Google Play:

1.6.4

added Genres and Artists Google Music folders. Requires a Sync for these folders to appear

browsing the local media server Filesystem folders detects music album folders, sorts them by track number and shows eventual embedded cover in audio files

playing http URLs from other apps extracts metadata from the stream (also apply to action "Add stream URL")

recently played items can be accessed by remote devices by browsing the local media server's "Saved Playlists" folder

"Settings > Control > Kill on Inactivity" now also apply to mobile connections

fixed several Google Music issues

fixed playback issues in some scenarios

fixed several playback issues playing to Xbox 360

fixed unneeded search for previous renderer when app starts on mobile data connection

fixed local renderer sometimes not selected when app starts without network

fixed local media server items stored in saved playlists not playable when remotely browsed

fixed 2 image viewer crashes

fixed various stability issues
[Android Apps and Games] rkirmeier:
BubbleUPnP won't find my tablet when it's tethered to my phone via the built in hotspot. I can in fact communicate between the devices with other apps and tools so I'm guessing it's only searching the primary data connection and not the hotspot WLAN. The tablet sees the phone without any issue but I want to control the tablet from the phone. Can you take a look at this, if nothing else maybe an option to manually define a connection via IP address would work,

Thanks and happy holidays!

Changing default public IP look up

Hello!

Is there a way to edit the config so Bubble doesn't call a "what is my public IP" website, and I can enter in google's public DNS address instead? The reason I'm asking is listed below.

I'm using Google's public DNS for my router's static IP set up, and keep getting time-out errors like the following:

HTTP: ERROR: cannot reach external server to perform test: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

HTTPS: ERROR: cannot reach external server to perform test: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

I did a nslookup, found the Google server address, and added it under Bubble's web config settings, but I'm still receiving this error. I'm thinking that if I changes the public IP to Google's public DNS (8.8.8.8) than this error would go away? I've got my ports forwarded correctly as well.

Thanks,

John
[Android Apps and Games] SorryGoFish:
Yes, it runs if I run that command, edited to use your copy of ffmpeg: /usr/share/bubbleupnpserver/ffmpeg.

VideoPlayer says "Can't play this video" and MoboPlayer says "This file cannot be played...." (message is too long, and I can't read it fast enough before the toaster alert goes away).

Deezer streaming

Ever since I got the BubbleUPNP Lisence I tried to stream deezer to my renderer. But somehow it failed. In the update of bubbleupnp of today I found out that streaming deezer isn't anymore in the descripton.

Feature request - scan for devices

Please add:

(1.) a history or favorites list of media servers that were previously detected and that will be initially visible in the devices list, even if a scan is currently still ongoing.

(2.) a button to cancel an ongoing scan for devices, or to send a long-running scan it to the background.

Sometimes the entire UI is frozen for 30 seconds or so just because BubbleUPNP is searching for devices! I wish I could do something useful with the player in the meantime.

PS: yes, I purchased the full version. Great work altogether.

It would be nice to have a button or menu option to force an immediate re-scan of the network for media servers. Currently this requires a restart of Bubble UPNP.

Can not stream Google Music to Renderer

i currently purchased the bubbleupnp license in order to be able to stream from google music (great add btw) to a philips fidelio speaker (A5). for some reason, this is not working for me...i'm always receiving an "action timeout" when trying to play a song. switching to local renderer fixes the problem, but that's not necessarily what i want to achieve (i'd like to have my music played on the speaker, not on my tablet). any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] winxi:
Hi, if you access the web interface from the local network (i.e. from the LAN in which your Synology DS is located), you won't be prompted for username/password. There you can set u/p and allow BubbleUPnP Server to be configurable over the internet.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Try increasing the timeout to a higher value in Settings > UPnP Tweaks > UPnP Action timeout.

On some renderers playing Google Play music can take some time due to the various indirections involed.

If it still doesn't work, try after enabing Settings > Local Media Server > Content > Use proxy, although I doubt it will have an effect
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
And what happens with MX Player ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Deezer never worked. When I wrote this in the description I meant dailymotion.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'm not sure what you call "ongoing scan". Is that when the app display a "Searching for devices" popup on startup ? This only shows up to wait until the last used external renderer is found on the network. This is indeed not cancellable and it probably should be.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
long titles: when long-pressing, maybe. Othrewise you can see more of a title in landscape.

rescan: While the app is running, it always add /remove devices that appear/disappear.

Moreover, in case a device would not properly notify its appearence, each time you enter the Devices tabs it broadcasts a search message on the network so any interested device can notify its presence.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I remember testing WiFi hotspot some time ago and I think it worked. Will check again although on your setup it seems to work partially.

Maybe you phone is missing the multicast route for discovery to work while your tablet has it.

Not sure I understand what you asking that the current image viewer doesn't already provide.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Weird error here, it means the "what is my public IP" website did not respond in a timely manner.

Anyway, can you make the connection test in Android BubbleUPnP ? If it works there you should have no issue despite of the error displayed.
[Android Apps and Games] SorryGoFish:
You win. It works with MX. Thanks for the help. I love this thing.

New topic: (bug?) Exit + restart troubles

On my SAMSUNG Galaxy S II, I could observe the following behaviour:

After using the "exit" button, the BubbleUPNP window closes. Then:

1.) If I restart BubbleUPNP within 1 or 2 seconds from the launcher screen, I can see the window opening, but it closes again immediately, sending me back to the launcher screen.

2.) If I wait for more than 3-4 seconds after, I can see a gradient, and the BubbleUPNP app freezes completely. I can only leave it with the HOME button on the mobile phone.

3.) Only if I wait for more than 5 seconds, BubbleUPNP starts normally again.

Maybe a conflict of a long-running shutdown hook with the restart attempt?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's expected because the previous instance of BubbleUPnP is still in the process of closing down cleanly in the background and

that can takes a few seconds.

The alternative is a non cancellable popup displaying "Wait for app to shutdown" but I'm not sure many people would enjoy that.
[Android Apps and Games] Snowknight26:
BubbleUPnP isn't being killed on inactivity.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok, I could see that it was not killed.

What prevented kill timer to kick in, is that at some point you paused the track that was playing instead of stopping it (long-click on play/pause button).

Paused playback disable killing, as it is expected user will get back to playing shortly.

I may very well change this behaviour in the next version (and ignore pausing) as stopping is not very discoverable.

VLC Plugin or WMP connect to BubbleUPnp Server

Absolutely AWESOME APPS !!!!!!!

I use your BubbleUpnp for Android and it works GREAT !! I recently installed BubbleUpnp Server on my Windows Computer at home that I use to access my media. I have TVersity installed as my DLNA media server. I installed BubbleUpnp server so I could access my media over the internet remotely. Your Server has solved the issue of UDP Multicast DLNA accses over the Internet !!!!

I installed BubbleUpnp Server on my computer on my home network (always on) that has my TVersity DLNA server and my media instlaled.

I did the network setup on my Bubbleupnp on my Android. Actually I connect to my home server via a Windows VPN - so I did not have any Firewall issues. It works GREAT !! I can now access ALL of my medial (Video, Pictures, Audio, etc.) on my android (Atrix 4G) from my phone over PPTP VPN to my home network !!! No more UDP Multicast DLNA issues !! Works Wifi and Cellular Data modes too !!!

I have installed FOOBAR2000 and the UPNP Pugin on my Laptop. Again I have successfully set everything up !! When I connect via Windows VPN to my Home network - FOOBAR2000 can see my BubbleUpnp and i can drill down and see my TVersity DLNA. I can play all my audio via FOOBAR2000.

Now here is my request - I want to do the same thing from my Windows Laptop for VIDEO and PICTURES (Foobar2000 is ONLY AUDIO). I.E. I want to access my DLNA server on my home network over the Internet from my Windows Laptop. I connect to my home network via Windows PPTP VPN and I can accssess all of my home networked computers. I can Remote Desktop to my Medis server PC where BubbleUpnp server is installed. Is there a way using VLC or Windows Media Player to connect log into to the remote BubbleUPNP Server like Foobar2000 so I can access ALL of my media from my laptop.

Thanks - Kevin K.

P.S> Tried to use the UPNP Tethering. Does not work for me becuase of my using Windows PPTP VPN for access my home network. And of course UDP Multicast does not work over Windows PPTP VPN either.
