Try disabling Settings > UPnP Tweaks > Gapless control and let me know if it works.

If you still have the problem, send me a log file until next track doesn't play (see first post of this topic for instructions).

Yes there are several depending on what you want to shuffle:

- the "Play shuffled" action in folders context menu and in the top menu of folders containing items (albums, playlist, ...)

- the Shuffle button in the Now Playing screen to play the content of the Playlist tab shuffled without modifying it

- Menu > Shuffle tracks in the Playlist tab to shuffle the content

There's a detailed section on this topic in Settings > About/Help > Tips > Using saved playlists

playlists

Thanks for this help.

Can't believe I missed all those shuffle options!

I have set the gapless control as indicated. I will test it properly this weekend and let you know if it makes a difference.

Regarding playlists, I have had a read through the tips section. Does this mean that only playlists created from within bubble can be used on bubble? I play music on several different systems for different purposes: itunes (on my desktop mac 10.8), the default android music player, winamp for android (though it's a bit buggy on playback) and bubble for streaming to my devices. I suppose there is no universal playlist system that can be used across all these systems is there? I find it easiest to create playlists on itunes on my mac. Is there any way to import and use those playlists on bubble?

Thanks kindly.

Installing on a Zyxel NSA325

I'm trying to install BubbleUPNP on a Zyxel NSA325. Is there a package for this?

I've found a HowTo for installing Java (and Serviio) on nas-central.org (topic: "[HowTo] Serviio 1.3.1 for Zyxel NSA325" -> sorry not allowed to post links ;))

Is it possible to follow the standard procedure for "other java platforms" after I got java up and running following this article?

As the QNAP TS-220 is nearly identical, ist there a way to change one of the qnap packages to a zyxel package (zypkg)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, what is called "Saved playlists" in BubbleUPnP are entirely managed by BubbleUPnP: you can add to them any item that BubbleUPNP can list but it will only be accessible (playable) by BubbleUPnP or by any other Control Point or renderer that can browse BubbleUPnP as a media server (a PS3, another BubbleUPnP instance, another UPnP app...) .

I don't know how itunes store playlists but several UPnP media server recognize m3u playlists and make them browsable to Control Points like BubbleUPnP.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, once you got Java 6 or Java 7 installed and working.

Maybe, but I'm not familiar with QNAP packages.
[Android Apps and Games] savedave:
Thanks - I see I can export as m3u. Can I put the file on my phone somewhere for bubble to see it and read it or does it need to be on my computer via xvmc - in which case where would it go?

thanks

Android 4.4 KitKat

Hi,

are there any known issues wirth Android 4.4 KitKat?

I have three devices running the licensed BubbleUPNP version (latest) in the same configuration.

The Nexus 5 (Android 4.4) and the Nexus 7 2nd (Android 4.3) are detecting each others renderes/servers. But only the Nexus 7 is detecting the renderer/server of the IdeosX3 (Android 2.3.3).

Thanks for your support!

Renderers disappeared

Hello,

Yesterday downloaded BubbleUPnP for my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini. Worked all fine, recognized a Android media box as a renderer as well as a Samsung Smart TV.

Today, both devices have gone from the devices list and now am unable to play any file on external renderer.

Any idea what might have gone wrong? I tried to purchase the license app but this seems to be unsupported on my device (S4 mini)

Thanks for your reply.

(P.S. I am almost sure that the above issue has already been addressed in this topic but I wasn't able to find it)

Server is running on NSA325

I got it up and running! :)

I can see it is running in Putty. Open Home renderer with my Philips AW3000 is working and Libary from Twonky also running on NSA325 is found correctly. Saved Playlist working like charm!

1) When I access it via WAN the Interface shows no entrys on status page. "Internet connectivity test" gives error:

HTTP: could not execute test

HTTPS: could not execute test

2) How do I configure autostart/autorestart?

Right now I have to start it manually via Putty ("java -jar BubbleUPnPServer.jar")

3) When Putty session in which the server was started is closed the server also closes.

4) Sometimes, not always I get asked for login and password when I change tabs on configuration page, althoug I'm still logged in.

Just bought the licence yesterday for this wonderful app ! It is just perfect :)

I don't know if it has already been asked, but do you think you can add owncloud support ??

Thx.

More often than not, the 4x1 widget is replaced with an error ("Problem loading widget") on Android 4.4. Can't see anything in the debug log about it, sadly.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I can't reproduce this on a Nexus 5 running KitKat.

Any particular pattern when this happens ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. No as BubbleUPnP doesn't substitute to the media server's job which is indexing, categorizing media hierarchically.

It is usually not a good idea nor practical to open folders containing huge number of items (several thousands).

2. No

3. No. There is no way for BubbleUPNP to modify metadata on your media server anyway.

4. No
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Try rebooting your WiFi router and devices.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
In the server install dir, run the server with :

nohup sh ./launch.sh &

This will detach it from Putty. Let me know if you still get the "execute test" errors and login/password popup.

continuous playback issue

Thanks for this. I made the changes you suggest and now bubble is doing continuous playback every time. However it is still problematic. There is now a significant pause between tracks - up to ten seconds. This sometimes gives my Samsung Smart TV time to switch back to regular TV before it picks up the signal from Bubble and plays another track. This didn't used to happen, on those occasions where randomly continuous playback chose to work. I had thought this was something I was eliminating when purchasing the premium licence.

My situation is improved thanks to your advice, but it is possible to reduce this playback gap at all?

thanks

Any idea, why the Nexus 7 has no problem discovering the BubbleUPNP renderer (running on Android 2.3.3), but the Nexus 5 does not find it?

I checked every entry in the settings. Same configuration!
[Android Apps and Games] Mr-Brot:
After a few months break waiting, I continued using BubbleUPNP combined with using Mizuu.

I get the impression that something changed in the latest releases impacting my setup (should be: Mizuu handing over BubbleUPNP the file path - BubbleUPNP establishing handshake between WDTVLive and ReadyNas Duo).

Currently I am experiencing lags when I am playing via Mizuu and BubbleUPNP which are not there if i stream directly by my WDTVLive UI. Also if I exit BubbleUPNP during playback, playback stops.

It seems to me, that BubbleUPNP is not establishing the Handshake between the library and the renderer, but streaming via the mobile device.

What could be the problem here?

Thank you!

Marantz M-CR510 Renderer

Hi

I have Marantz M-CR510 DLNA 1.5 and a Nexus 7 Android 4.3

On the Nexus 7 I have the licensed BubbleUPnP 1.7.4

The Marantz Renderer is showing up sometimes and sometimes not.

Can you imagine why?

On Win7 the Marantz Renderer is always shown.

Thank you

Kind Regards
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Do you still have this problem with v1.7.4 ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
When you stream a Mizuu item sent to BubbleUPnP, BubbleUPnP will proxy the stream to the renderer, thus it must be left running.

Mizuu creates and manages a http streaming URL for files that it access through SMB/CIFS, and that is what it sends to BubbleUPnP.

That's different than browsing your NAS from BubbleUPnP or from the WDTV itself and playing from there: in that case, the WDTV streams directly from the NAS without going through Mizuu and BubbleUPnP (which could explain the lag).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
To which Amazon cloud service you are referring to ?

There's Amazon Cloud Player (Similar to Google Music where you can upload your own tracks) for which there is to my knowlegde no official or unoficial API, and Amazon Cloud Drive (similar to Google Drive) for which I don't know if there is an API.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It looks like the install procedure didn't complete sucessfully...
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Discovery issues like this are difficult to troubleshoot.

- reboot your router and the Marantz, and check if it is reliably detected

- if not, update your router firmware to the latest version (routers sometimes have bugs with multicast discovery). Also update the Marantz firmware if applicable.
[Android Apps and Games] crco:
Sorry for being unclear. I meant the mp3 cloud player, to which one can upload mp3s but also the purchased Amazon mp3s go.

If there is no API that means that sonos and Amazon teamed up for the feature I have seen on the Sonos player. So no chance for that kind of feature? Or any other way to get the cloud player mp3s in my bubbleupnp playing?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I doubt Amazon would ever reply to my requests. Big companies only talk to big companies. If they wanted broad support they would have released a public API at this point.

That, and on regular Android, the vast majority of users are using Google Music for this kind of service...

What's cool with music locker services of today is that more often than not you are locked to whatever way they provide you to access their content, with interoperability not at all on their radar. This is progress I guess...

Album art resolution: some uncommon sizes prohibited ?

Hi,

I have a small issue with tracks tagged with an 709x701 jpg artwork. For those tracks, album art simply does not show in BubbleUnP. I did some tests with different artwork sizes, replacing the problematic artwork with 500x500, 600x600, even huge 1400x1400 jpg files, and in all cases artwork is correctly shown. I am using MinimServer as the music server, since I confirmed with the author that MinimServer never resizes artwork.

Could it be that BubbleUPnP has trouble displaying artwork in uncommon sizes like the one giving me problems (709x701). Or could it be an Android limitation ? I admit that I have rarely seen such a size, but it comes from a file downloaded from Channel Classics commercial web site.

I appreciate your help on this.

Best server with transcoding - Subtitles - Seek support

Hi,

Sorrry if these questions have been asked before but I bought this app just a few days ago. So far it's really great.

Btw testing it with Plex Plexpass and Serviio Pro I noticed I cant obtain at the same time all the features I need (transcoding for my 3g, subtitles and seek support). Can anyone tell me if they are possibile using these servers and I'm doing it wrong or if it's not possible and in this case if I can use any other server to get them?

Thanks a lot

Shuffle Library error

Hi All,

thanks for this great app!

I have a little problem with the last version v1.7.4 on Samsung Galaxy - local library, local renderer.

If I play [Shuffle Library] --> [Shuffle Albums] and long press the next button for new random album,

then I get sometimes the "Shuffle Library error" message.

How can I debug it (activate log writing or extended messages)?

Thanks!

Gapless playback & BubbleUPnP server : any news ?

Hi bubbleguuum,

Some months ago, you talked about the possibility of adding gapless playback to the functionalities of BubbleUPnP server. Is this still on your mind ? I really like this software, but using it means, unfortunately, that I must then go without the UPnP AV gapless playback featured by my renderers and which is supported by BubbleUPnP. Also, if if gapless playback is ever implemented in BubbleUPnP server, will this feature be offered only on renderers implementing the proper UPnP AV protocol, or on all UPnP renderers ?

Thanks again for those great softwares you have written.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Discovery issues like these are really tricky to troubleshoot...

Do another UPnP app like UPnPlay running on your N5 discovers your Android 2.x device running the BubbleUPnP renderer ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
See first post of this topic for logging instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'm not sure what exactly you are asking but transcoding with BubbleUPnP Server disables seeking, although you can initiate playback from a starting position in a video (long click -> Play video from position).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No current plan to add gapless support to the OpenHome renderer implementation in BubbleUPNP Server as it is not trivial, will only be useful to very few users and requires an UPnP AV renderer supporting gapless playback (to answer your last question).

This doesn't mean I will not ever add it but this is really not priority.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Already answered. It turns out that BubbleUPnP cannot load jpeg in the CMYK format (using the Android standard jpeg decoder) which is rather uncommon for album art.

OpenHome

Bonjour, Merci pour votre aide mais après 1 mois d'utilisation intensive je rencontre toujours le même problème. Je possède un NAS

Qnap TS-419

où est installé TwonkyMedia 7.2.51.0, JAVA (JRE) 7 et BubbleUPnPServer 0.6.5. Dans l'onglet "Media Renderers", j'ai crée un OpenHome pour le lecteur multimédia

WD TV Live

et pour

Foobar2000

mais comme signalé précédemment, les 2 renderers OpenHome s'affiche très lentement (environs 10 à 20 minutes) sur mon

Galaxy s3

. Lorsque je me rends à nouveau dans l'onglet "Media Renderers" et que je décoche puis recoche "Creer un OpenHome Renderer", la détection sur mon galaxy S3 est

immédiate

. Le problème vient très probablement de

BubbleUpnpServer

. J'ai aussi un problème lorsque je me connecte au BubbleUPnpServer où j'ai souvent le message d'erreur "ERROR: cannot reach external server to perform test: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out" qui s'affiche. Je dois alors redémmarer JAVA et BubbleUpnpServer plusieurs fois pour qu'il fonctionne. La fonction OpenHome est capitale pour moi mais je dois toujours attendre 1/4 d'heure ou manuellement décocher puis recocher la création des OpenHome renderers.

WMA Plays LPCM white noise via UPnP Server

Hi

You have probably answered this before, but despite searching this thread I cannot quite find a reply about my problem, sorry. Using Bubble UPnP on the LAN I have no problems playing WMA files from TwonkyServers. But when I access the same WMA files via BubbleUPnP Server (on LAN or mobile), the Local Renderer is seeing a LPCM file instead of WMA and plays white noise. When I look at the audio file metadata in BubbleUPnP Player via BubbleUPnP Server I can see 2 streams. Stream #1: WMA, 128Kbps, 4 MB, and Stream #2: LPCM, 16 bits, stereo, 44100. Stream 2 is shown in green and just plays white noise. If I play an MP3 file, I also see 2 streams, but with MP3 Stream #1 is Green and plays normally. I think I have tried all the bit rate / transcoding options on the player but I cannot change the behaviour. Can I stop/ignore the LPCM stream or make it play properly? Using BubbleUPnP player on LAN direct from TwonkyServers I just see the WMA or MP3 stream, ie no LPCM. On the Samsung Tab7 the metadata screen also shows the http link to the wma (not visible on the S3 Mini screen) and if I click the http link the Local Renderer does play wma via BubbleUPnP Server.

The problem just seems to be caused when accessing WMA files, via Play List, via BubbleUPnP Server, when LPCM becomes the default and plays white noise?

I have this problem on Samsung S3 Mini, Samsung Tab7, Nexus 10. I am running BubbleUPnP Player 1.7.4 Licenced, TwonkyServer 6.0.39 on QNAP NAS and TwonkyServer 6.0.32 on Windows 7, BubbleUPnP Server 0.6.5 Beta on QNAP NAS running 4.0.2, Java 7v45.

Thanks for a great product. Best wishes

I'm not familiar at all with the Sony smartwatch but if you can find a generic app that run on it that send Android media key events (play, pause, etc) to the Android device BubbleUPnP is running (most likely via bluetooth), then it would work for playback control.

It would would work with most music players too. That's how car bluetooth work by the way.

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I can reproduce what you decribe except for the LPCM stream that plays normally (no white noise).

The LPCM stream is added by BubbleUPnP Server as a fallback compat stream for renderers not able to play WMA natively.

Most Android devices are not able to play WMA unless the manufacturer has added support for it.

BubbleUPnP normally detects if an Android device supports WMA, although there's the possibility it can get it wrong.

Are you able to play WMA from regular Twonky ? I doubt it as if it was the case, BubbleUPnP should have played the WMA stream instead of the LPCM one when Twonky is accessed through BubbleUPnP Server.

Now the LPCM stream being white noise is unusual. Can you send me (bubbleguuuum@free.fr or Dropbox etc) a WMA file for which you get white noise when transcoded to LPCM ?
[Android Apps and Games] lugiber:
Ah, I see!

Unfortunately the existing apps seems to be tied to a specific player. Eg, no apps are generic.

Thanks for your reply!
[Android Apps and Games] Dyane602:
Thanks for the reply. I sent you a sample WMA file to [MENTION=222278]FREE[/MENTION].fr which plays NORMALLY through BubbleUPnP direct from TwonkyServer but Bubble UPnP then tries to play as LPCM (white noise) when connecting to same TwonkyServer via BubbleUPnP Server (either on LAN or mobile). The BubbleUPnP player Metadata shows both WMA and LPCM streams but is choosing the LPCM

There is one extra bit of information which I forgot and might be significant. I do have to un-tick "Mime-type check" otherwise I get "no codec" message when attempting to play WMA direct from TwonkyMedia so perhaps there a problem recognizing WMA?

I have several hundred albums I have ripped to 128K WMA using MS MediaPlayer over the years, all files I have tried have this problem. (MP3 files are working fine). MS MediaPlayer, Netgear MP101, Philips TV, Logitech Squeezebox, Creative Labs players, and other Symbian and Android phone players seem happy with these files directly and through the same TwonkyServers.

Thanks for helping.
