It is probable that the NMT send bogus (unparsable) time data. Please record and send me a log as explained in the first post of this topic

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bjrmd:
That is what I wanted to do so as not to add another piece of software to my windows machine
[Android Apps and Games] be-nelli:
Now that I got the server running, my first try was just to use it try to stream my music wiith it instead of using the standard server only which is supplied with the DS210j (I guess the hope was also that it might be able to parse the time data correctly, see other post). When pointing BubbleUPnP to the server, I can browse and assess my collection, load the playlist, etc., but NMT does not play a single track and the app pops up the message window as shown in the attached screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] UksusoFF:
yes I totally agree with you
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What is the provenance of the displayed track in the screenshot ?

1. directly from your DS210 (your Twonky server)

2. from a configured remote network with BubbleUPnP Server (ie your Twonky server accessed through BubbleUPnP Server, would appear as <your Media Server name [network name]> in the Device list) ?

3. your Twonky server, LAN proxyfied by BubbleUPnP Server (would appear as <your Media Server name [proxy]> in the Devices list) ?

2. is not very useful on your home LAN (except very specific cases) as you can do 1.

3. is mostly useful to fix bad XML sent by some Media Servers when they are browsed
[Android Apps and Games] be-nelli:
BubbleUPnPServer doesn't stream to PCH NMT A-110

If a track is coming directly from my DS210j: BubbleUPnP does its control point job and my Poppy (A-110) plays the tracks (configuration 1.)

If the same track is streamed using configuration 2. or 3.), i.e. as "DS210j [Home]" or as "DS210j [proxy]", it is not played at all but the message box pops up.

This behaviour is somehow strange, as the message explicitly states that the renderer does support mp3, but obviously the stream is not recognizable as mp3 stream to the poppy???

If you need more information or logs in order trace down the bug, just let me know.

Thanks.

Maybe some more information:

Accessing the "DS210j [proxy]" server directly from the UI of the NMT (i.e. without a control point) and selecting the same track again, it will play without problems. It appears that the BubbleUPnP app is doing something weird to the stream.

Hi I am the user that purchased full license.

May I change the useragent ID in bubbleupnp?
[Android Apps and Games] hyde:
Hi,

i just installed the BubbleUPnP server on my Synology DJ211.

It is able to run successfully and stream music and video to my android via internet.

Currently I am accessing my NAS thru putty on my PC. If I close the putty session on my PC, BubbleUPnP server will shut down too.

Now I need some help to allow me to auto run the BubbleUPnP server when I start up my NAS server. Or anyway to run a script to let BubbleUPnP to run in background.

Anyone can teach me how to fix this? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] flash5000:
Hi,

Would you mind to post a step-by-step guide how you managed to install the server on your NAS? Pretty please? :D

In order to keep it running, I think it's necessary to run it as a daemon. This is what I used to run pyLoad on my Synology DS209. It keeps running when you logoff with putty, but you have to restart it in case your NAS is restarted.

Maybe there is a way to include it in an autostart script, but I unfortunately have no idea how to achieve that.

This is what starts pyLoad as a daemon, I guess you can adapt it:

screen -dmS python /opt/pyload/pyLoadCore.py

As a starting point, maybe you can use anything of a guide for pyLoad (I know this is a python script, but I guess you can achieve similar things with a java application...). Unfortunately, it's in german language, but the code remains the same, and in case you're a Linux pro, maybe you can do anything with it... ;)

Google for the Synology wiki and pyLoad, there are instructions on Autostart/Stop!

(Sorry for not linking the URL - not allowed to post links yet...)
[Android Apps and Games] hyde:
Tks juangonzalez2, I'll try it out tomorrow on your tips.

I actually followed a the guide here to get java 1.6 installed onto the NAS.

http://www.markinthedark.nl/news/ub...ation-media-server-pms-on-a-synology-nas.html

I stopped at the step just before -

Now we are going to install MPlayer. We can only install this (as far as I know) through SVN:

Once you successfully installed BubbleUPnP server, maybe you can figure out to run as service or start up service. Then u can teach me how u do it, Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] abgestumpft:
I have a QNAP NAS, but it may work the same way on yours. This is what I have added to my autostart (the & at the end will send it into background, so you can also use that command in a putty session):

This will log all output to BubbleUPnPServer.log. If this is not wanted replace with /dev/null. And I guess you have to adjust the path to java too:

#remove old logfile
rm <locationOfBubbleUPnPServer>/BubbleUPnPServer.log
#Change directory is needed, otherwise BubbleUPnPServer will use configuration.xml in root director (/). Config is lost after reboot because QNAP cleares this dir on every startup.
cd <locationOfBubbleUPnPServer>
#Start the BubbleUPnPServer
/share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/JRE/jre/bin/java -jar <locationOfBubbleUPnPServer>/BubbleUPnPServer.jar >> <locationOfBubbleUPnPServer>/BubbleUPnPServer.log 2>> <locationOfBubbleUPnPServer>/BubbleUPnPServer.log &

hyde,

thanks for sharing!

I'm not sure how long it'll take me to try this, but I will post here if I succeed...
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can you give more detail on "the playlist seems to reset to an earlier copy" as I do not understand what you mean exactly.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'll have to install MM and check this, but provided that MM sends all the artists individually, it is probable that the problem is that BubbleUPnP only keep the last one.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's been quite a few fixes concerning .m3u handling. How do you open those .m3u in BubbleUPnP ? From an external app like a file manager or web browser ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. Ok. BubbleUPnP doesn't have an equalizer but will spawn third party Equalizers apps (if there is just one equalizer app it will spawn that one, otherwise it will let you choose it). In your case I believe it is the stock equalizer of your device that is spawn. What is your Android device ?

I can only fix this issue if I can reproduce it. It would help a lot if you could find a simple way to reproduce it not involving bluetooth.

Btw this issue might even be equalizer app specific.

2. Do you browse these MP3 from the local media server Filesystem folders or the Music folders ?

3. Ok, will test. EDIT: can you precise to which renderer you are playing dropbox files

4. What does "won't react" means ? This issue is a bit too vague for me to be able to do anything unless you can send me a log showing it

Cannot see other upnp devices anymore

Hi,

First of all: BubbleUPnP is one of the best apps I've ever came accross:good:

Now my question:

For some days now, my android devices cannot see themselves anymore.

It's very strange, they see twonky fine, twonky sees them, but they don't see each other anymore...

My setup:

QNAP NAS

Twonky

WLAN

Various Android devices (galaxy, logitech revue)

BubbleUPnP Pro installed on all Androids.

The devices just don't show up anymore as renderers, but the NAS server is shown fine.

What can / should I do?

(I also need to add that initially, everything was fine, All devices could see themselves).

Thanks so much for your help, really don't know what to do...

added display of item metadata and stream infos by selecting "Show metadata" in an item's context menu, in Library, Playlist, Now Playing (cover)

added ability to open https links pointing to supported playlist file formats

added ability to open supported playlist file formats from file managers

added handling of image items in supported playlist file formats

workarounded issue on some Philips renderers preventing playback

fixed multiple artists not picked up with some media servers (MediaMonkey). Also aggregate multiple genres, composers

fixed wrong track displayed in Now Playing when switching to a playing renderer in the Devices tab

a few other minor fixes
[Android Apps and Games] Andre Gosselin:
Could more metadata be displayed ?

Thanks for those improvements in v. 1.6.7 !

Would it be possible to display more metadata with the new "Show metadata" selection ? As a classical music user, the two metadata I miss the most are "Composer" and "Conductor".

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] Kreon100:
skydrive not listed

hi there, awesome app, the only one I know, that works just fine with my Phillips-TV.

It would be great to have skydrive in the cloud-list as well, apparently there is only google music and dropbox. I do not use Google music but all my fotos are stored in my skydrive. Cannot see any way to change that in the settings. So I am not yet convinced to buy the pro-version.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The metadata shown for an item is the metadata sent by the Media Server which extracts it from file tags, with various degrees of completeness.

If there is a composer and the media server sends it for an item (a big "if"), then it is shown

Conductor is actually ignored by the app even if the media server sends it, but that could change.

What is your media server ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Skydrive is on the potential list of cloud services to add, although no promise it will get added.

Mark video as watched/viewed

I really need this app as it's seams to be the only (good) way to watch video's stored on the drive of my cubieboard running minidlna of Serviio on Linaro.

I only have a biggggg issue I hope that will be able to be resolved.

I cannot see if I already wathed/viewed a certain video/episode of a series or folder.

This is really a "deal breaker" for me as I can't remember what episode I watched a week ago :crying:

I would happily pay for the app if only someone could find the solution.

Pocket Casts 4 Integration Not Working For Me

I love the app, but the Pocket Casts 4 deal is not working for me on my Galaxy Note 2, but it works on my Nexus 7. On the Note 2, I have my library set to Local Media Server via the Devices tab. I switch to the Library tab and all I have is the following:

LOCAL MEDIA SERVER

* Music

* Video

* Images

* Filesystem

CLOUD

* Google Music

* Dropbox

BOOKMARKS

* Albums

* Folders

VIRTUAL FOLDERS

* Saved playlists

* Recently Played

* Random Tracks

The Pocket Casts folder is missing on my Note 2, but I see it on my Nexus. The only immediate difference that I can think of is that I store my podcasts on an a separate 64GB SD card on the Note 2. Obviously the nexus only has internal storage available. I love your app, and I would appreciate any help you could provide.
[Android Apps and Games] chileboy:
Let me add my thanks and recognition for this great app. I've paid for less than 5 apps on my phone, but this one is the only one that I feel is well worth it!

I posted earlier I was having trouble with gapless playback on my Droid Razr (Android 4.1.2), but somehow I straightened that out. I saw that someone fixed that by disabling Eventing, and I did that, but I changed some other settings as well, and also restarted Twonky, so I'm not 100% sure what fixed it, but it is working flawlessly now. I am happy!

Just thought I would pass something else along - I wanted to see if it were possible to stream from my NAS without Twonky (or any DLNA Server) by simply browsing to the share, and I figured out a way to do that, by installing CifsManager app (had to root my phone first, but easily done). I then mounted the network share into a local folder on my Droid (under storage/sdcard0) and by browsing to Library -> Local Media Server -> Filesystem, I can access my files as easily as though they were stored locally - it works perfectly, and I'm not prone to the idiosyncrasies of Twonky any longer.

I would note that, I first tried using AndSMB to mount the share, because (in theory) that does not require rooting the phone, but I could not get that work, and finally gave up.

It would be nice to have the capability within BubbleUPnP itself, but this works so well, I don't mind the extra step or two.

- Mark
[Android Apps and Games] seacamel:
That's interesting to know. But before I will risk going through the process of rooting my phone, I would like to know if I use CifsManager I would be able to play my NAS videos directly from MXplayer? Did you try that?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ah indeed I forgot that Pocket Casts let you change the podcasts location. Currently BubbleUPnP expects to find them in the default PocketCasts directory at the root of the SD Card. I'll have to add a setting for that.

I also recenlty found out that you can send downloaded and not downloaded podcasts to BubbleUPnP, from Pocket Casts itself:

In Pocket Casts, in a (subscribed) podcast list, long-click on either the play icon (for downloaded podcasts) or the down-arrow icon

(for not downloaded podcasts), then in the menu select "Play in external player" or "Stream in external player", then select BubbleUPnP in the app list to play the podcast to the current renderer.

This already works, but the imminent release of BubbleUPnP 1.6.7.1 improves on it by displaying more complete metadata, and cover art.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the feedback and the tip. SMB / CIFS handling is best left to dedicated apps and should appear in the Filesystem folders as you describe.
[Android Apps and Games] chileboy:
I don't have MX Player, nor any videos on my NAS - I really only use it for music.

But, the remote folder, once mounted, appears to behave identically as true local folder, so I don't see any reason it shouldn't work.

How are you playing your NAS videos now? What format are they? I'd be willing to install MX Player and give it a shot, if you like - is it a free app?
[Android Apps and Games] seacamel:
It's WORKING! I actually forgot that the android device I wanted to use for it, my Uhost (mini pc) is rooted by default. So it's working and now I can watch my video's directly from MXPlayer without going through BubbleUpnP!

The big advantage, and the biggest issue I had with BubbleUPnP, is that now my video's are marked as watched/viewed!!

CifsManager is the perfect solution. I can watch video's on my harddisk connected to my Cubieboard (an other Allwinner A10 mini pc running Linaro) and use my cubieboard server for bittorrent.

I still have to use BubbleUPnp for watching video's on my Samsung S Advance which is not rooted. I hope one day BubbleUPnP will be able to mark my played videos as watched/viewed.

Thanks man for your very useful hint!!

Composer and Conductor metadata

Hi,

I tend to alternate between 2 media servers: MediaMonkey and Foobar 2000 (with foo_upnp installed), but I use MM most of the time. Both media servers feed on the same media tree.

You were right about the Composer metadata. When using Foobar2000, the Composer is indeed displayed when activating the Show Metadata item. However, it is NOT shown when using MM as media server. So, it could be a problem with the MM upnp layer software, but I do not understand why since the Composer is a standard tag in MM.

The conductor is not shown, either with MM or Foobar2000. I verified that the conductor tag is indeed known by Foobar (by going to the Properties menu for any given track). As for composer, conductor is a standard tag in MM.

Thanks for your help, great app!
[Android Apps and Games] texneus:
:highfive: Many thanks Bubbleguuum for this hint. Best I could tell as to what is (was) going on - I have hardware decoding enabled but for streaming it appears that after a few seconds MX Player switches to the software video decoder. It seems as the switch occurred is when the "aborted" message would appear in the server, and it would seem for a few particular videos the switch would also lock the phone up. Changing MX Player to default to SW video decoding for streams has resolved all issues and it's working perfectly.

Now if you could give us the option to download (rather than just to stream) videos, there would be a very convenient mechanism to transfer media to the phone (hint hint) to enable the use of skip/rew buttons or for situations where there is no (or very limited) data.

Cover / Logo Internetstations

hi @ all,

i've bought the licence for bubbleupnp and it works very well, i love this app. :good: :)

when i stream internetradio i can't see a cover or a logo from this station in "now playing" or in the "playlist". :crying:

what the to do's to see them? :confused:

can anyone help me?

thx...

greets... maikel
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I checked and MM does not send conductor and composer. I suggest you make a request in MM forums. It is easy to add, for each item they just need to add:

I've modified BubbleUPnP to display conductor in the metadata popup, if present. foobar2000 sends it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
How do you stream that internet radio ? From your media server having a radio list ? Something else ?

Downloading transcoded videos could be interesting.

Although BubbleUPnP Server transcoded videos are not seekable, the app let you resume playback from a position: on a transcoded video item, long-click and select "Play from position".

Version 1.6.7 installed 04/04/2013

BubbleUPnP updated to version 1.6.7 yesterday without incident.

Thanks for the "show metadata" feature!!! And thanks for enabling text-wrap on the tags in that new window. Now I can get a better view what I am selecting when the screen is not big enough and be certain I am selecting exactly the selection I want.

Would like to see it support multiple value tags in the future (such as Album Artist); only the first tag value is currently being displayed. Non-standard custom tags also.

It would also be nice to supress the stream portion and display all tags instead as an option - perhaps a configuration option to either display (1) all tags or (2) the current limited tags with the streams.

But I am very very very happy to have what you've done. You're the first to do this. Yeah!!!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's no such thing as non-standard custom tags with upnp. Keep in mind the metadata displayed is the metadata extracted by your media server from the file tags and sent to BubbleUPnP. With upnp there is only a fixed set of standardized metadata, thus no custom tags. The amount of metadata sent for an item is really media server specific: some media server are more complete than others.

On top of that, BubbleUPnP does not store the metadata it doesn't need (for example, comments stored in tags), to save memory and make folder loading faster.

About multiple tag values: if your server sends multiple tags for example for artist or genre, they will show up. Again, it depends on the behaviour of the media server.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP 1.6.7.1, a minor update, is available:

ability to change Pocket Casts podcast folder location in Settings > Local Media Server > Pocket Casts. If you changed this folder in Pocket Casts, set the same value here

better support for playing podcasts from the Pocket Casts app itself:

In the Pocket Casts app, in a subscribed podcast list, long-click on a podcast's play icon (for downloaded podcasts) or down-arrow icon

(for not downloaded podcasts), then in the menu select "Play in external player" or "Stream in external player", then select BubbleUPnP

to play the podcast to the current renderer

[Android Apps and Games] joe15000:
Search Function does not work as expected for "All Music"

Hi!

Maybe this was touched on somewhere else in this thread, but neither here nor on Google did I find any mention of this particular problem, so I hope someone here can help me.

The setup:

* Synology NAS (Disk Station DS411j) with the most current DSM 4.2 and "Media Server" running as the DNLA / UPNP server application on the Synology

* > 20.000 Songs on the Synology that are being served by Media Server

* Samsung Galaxy S3 (Android 4.1.2) with BubbleUPNP (1.6.7 basic version, not yet "pro" version) as the Upnp remote / renderer / client.

The problem (All in BubbleUPNP on the Android):

1) The Synology NAS is recognised by BubbleUPNP.

2) When I go to "Library">"Synology NAS">"Music">"All Music", he loads for a long time (as there are > 20.000 Songs on the NAS) and shows a "Search" magnifying glass in the top right of the screen.

3) When I click the magnifying glass and search for a specific song title that I know exists on the NAS and have found / played on the NAS before, BubbleUPNP tells me that nothing was found.

4) AFTER this happened once, the "Search" magnifying glass disappears and is replaced by a "Play" button and an "Add to playlist" plus symbol. This persists until I quit BubbleUPNP completely, even if I go to other menu items and back to "All music"

5) The same happens when I wait long enough for BubbleUPNP to return the first songs found on the NAS (and it lists them) - the "Search" option just disappears.

6) If I try to use the search function before I go into "All Music", it also finds no results.

7) If I go to another menu option, such as "By Artist", it loads very quickly (as there are not as many artists as songs of course), the search button persists and actually finds the artist in question (though only artists, not song titles).

8) To verify that the Full Library Search is working on the Synology Side, I have connected via Windows Media Player using Upnp and went to "All Music" there, it took a moment to load the song list but then when I searched for the same song, it was found without any problems. This is via the same network (Although the Android connects via WiFi and the Windows PC via Cable LAN)

So I am left wondering if the Search function in "All Music" is broken when there is a very large list of songs being served up by the NAS - as the search function for smaller lists (such as artists) works as intended.

As I very much search for music by song name (I don't always remember the artist name and the artist name is not always correct/available in the ID3 tag), this makes BubbleUPNP very difficult for me to use.

I really really like this software and want to set up my Home entertainment with an old Samsung Galaxy S as the renderer connected to the Stereo, running BubbleUPNP Server and control it all via my Galaxy S3 with the Pro Version of BubbleUPNP.

However, until this issue is resolved for me, I have to hold off.

If you can help in any way, it would be much appreciated!

Thank you,

Joe
