I am having trouble with the equalizer option. The option is only sometimes visible in Menu in Now Playing, while most of the times it just vanishes. I am unable to figure what makes it to go away n then come back. Can you help?

Playlist not transferred..?

Hi All,

I think I have the same problem, but I'm not sure.

I have a NAS running a DLNA-server, an Android Mini PC in my soundsystem running BubbleUPnP as renderer and an Asus tablet running BubbleUPnP as controller.

When I queue multiple song on the tablet the music plays fine on my soundsystem. But when I turn my tablet off, the music stops after the current song has finished. It does not continue with the playlist.

My conclusion in this matter is that only the current song is tranferred to the renderer and not the playlist.

Since I'm currently testing BubbleUPnP with the free app, it could be that it's not doing what I expect because it's the free version. But perhaps someone can confirm (or deny) that?

I'm more then willing to buy a license if I would know that this could work, but if this is an unsolved bug then I'd rather wait until it has been fixed.

Many thanks to whoever is willing to respond.

Regards,

Lars

The Equalizer menu item will only show up if the local renderer is the current renderer as it only apply to local playback.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There is no transfer of playlist: you must leave BubbleUPnP on your tablet running for track advance to continue.

However if you want the Playlist to be transfered to the renderer and be able shutdown your tablet (or just exit the app) with track advance continuing, you can make

the local renderer an OpenHome local renderer (on your Android Mini PC enable Settings > Local Renderer > OpenHome Renderer).

Then on your Tablet, select the OpenHome renderer in the devices tab and control that instead of the regular renderer.

AVRCP Track Metadata

Hi,

I am loving the application and mainly use it for local rendering of music playback and control of XBMC boxes and Foobar2000 from an unrooted SGS3 with latest stock JB ROM.

I recently got a Sony MW600 BT headset with display for track details which works fine with the S3's stock music player but no display from BubbleUPNP. I understand that support for AVRCP 1.3 is required to make track data work, any chance that you can add this feature in the future?

My understanding is that this will also allow the app to display the info in cars etc which have BT A2DP and AVRCP input.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I think I've found the issue, PM'ed you with a test version.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
AVRCP is in the todo list
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
In the next version of foo_upnp it will be possible to right click a video to launch a video player like VLC.

For images I'll see what can be done.

UPnP tethering can only work on a real WiFi target network (vs VPN). It would work if you connected to BubbleUPnP Server from a remote WiFi without going through your VPN.

I just noticed that pause and seek don't work when I use my Denon CEOL (RCD-N7) as renderer. When I press the pause button, simply nothing happens. Trying to seek using the seek bar I get a code 501 error. This is what it prints to the log file doing this:

[main ] INFO - 01:01:05.199 - AndroidUpnpService : pause: main thread

This happens with all formats I tried (MP3, AAC, FLAC, OGG Vorbis) and with any library (local, foo_upnp).

Should I send you a full log file, bubblegum, or do you believe this device just doesn't support pause and seek?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It doesn't support it. This is rare but some renderers just do not support pause and/or seeking.

You can still stop playback by long-clicking the play/pause button.
[Android Apps and Games] xaps:
Thanks for your quick reply!

That's a shame, listening to hour long podcasts without the ability to seek is a bit painful.

The Denon also supports AirPlay, seeking and pausing works fine with that. Do you have any plans to add controller functionality to AirBubble? :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] airbourne76:
yes you did! thx for the help & this great app! :good::good::good:
[Android Apps and Games] jainanshal:
Oh.. is this a technical limitation? It would be great if this can be implemented.

I have another feature request, is it possible to implement changing of track sequence in the playlist?

Again, thanks for the wonderful app!!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Kind of. Although technically not impossible this would be a lot of work for little benefit and would increase CPU usage a lot.

If you mean reordering tracks in the Playlist tab, just drag'n drop a track cover up/down to move a track.
[Android Apps and Games] jainanshal:
Thanks! Didn't try from the cover... works like a charm.

Surprisingly my Bubble UPnP doesn´t support pause or seek of music files if i stream from my pogoplug library. but my other library accept that commands.

if i want to pause the song playing, the pause button just begins blinking and nothing happens.

Is this a bug of Bubble UPnP or PogoPlug?

next track not played

Hi,

since one of the last updates the next track in playlist is played with quite some delay or not at all. Seems to be when phone is locked- the app does not start next track. When accessing the app - the next track is played immediatly.

HTC Wildfire with WD-Live and DNS323 NAS.

Everything else is perfect.

May I miss some (new) setting?

thanks

Blame your player, see above. Long press the pause button to stop playback.

Couple of unusual things connecting to my Dlink DNS320 Nas -

- Nexus 7 Tablet (Jb) finds the NAS even when its in standby mode but my HTC One X (ICS) doesn't

- Cant seem to play mp3's from the NAS on either the Nexus or HTC. A message flashes up really quickly when I choose an mp3 but it disappears quicker than I can read it. When I choose play nothing happens.

Any ideas?

Dlink DSM 510 playing issue

Hi to everyone,

even with bubbleupnp licensed versione I've problems with streaming my videos or images in DLink DSM 510 media server as renderer.

The app is installed in my Galaxy S2.

With this render I succesfully stream audio (actually even some mp3s fail to be played) but no chance to play videos or images.

While if I use the local render all media are played succesfully.

I've tried also to use Bubble UPNP server for transcoding but again no success.

The server is TVersity.

Do you have any clue on how to solve this problem?

Thanks and regards

Search/sort

Great app.

I'd love it if you could do some local searching. Along the same lines, grouping by artist and album would be a nice addition, I'm sure you can handle a string search and a little sorting.

I love shuffling my 3,000 FLAC files. All other programs seem to think we all have just 20 files.

no libx264 support on Synology Server

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays to everyone :)

I recently play with BubbleUPnP Server for Synology by winxi.

Mostly my idea is to bypass all the mulfunctions of serviio server itself due to lack of interest from developers to provide more and more profiles for new devices on the market.

I believe I managed to play most of the content via [proxy] feature, still missing some content though.

In BubbleUPnP Server status window I got:

Version:	0.6.3 beta

Audio Transcoding supported:	yes

Video Transcoding supported:	no (ffmpeg has no libx264 support)

Image Transcoding supported:	yes

I have seen some topics above the solution for Qnap server installation, Synology unfortunatelly is different. Due to some unknown to me reasons ipkg install is not welcome by DSM developers possioble though. So I have bootstrapped my DS few times but every time was worse and worse causing more and more problems with built-in apps. So finally I gave up and don't want to boostrap any more.

As far as I understand the subject basically [proxy] allows to connect any device without dedicated app or plugin to use BubbleUPnP Server transcoding and that way provide most of compatibility possible. Without video support it means video stream is being transferred intact which means if Serviio stupidly is converting it in improper way with no proper profile - video stream stays unplayable for my device.

Is there any chance to fix the issue of no libx264 support?

Any thought of a plugin for VLC like Foobar ??

Would it be possible to creat a way for VLC to log into BubbleUPNP Server like FooBar2000 does ??? Then the Audio, VIdeo, and Pictures would all be available. I would imagine this would be huge for BubbleUpnp if there were support in VLC !!!!!

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

BubbleUpnp client for Windows

Are you developing a BubbleUpnp client for Windows similar to the Bubbleupnp for Android ?? I am suggesing a Windows client with similar capabiliites as the Android version. I.E. able to log into the Bubbleupnp server over the Internet to all Remote windows user to connect to home network media over the internet WITHOUT the smart phone tethering method. I would definitely pay for this app !!! Would get around multicast problem that now have trying to connect my tablet PC to my home network to access media.

This client could use WMP or VLC as the rendering method - similar to the Android version that uses Vplayer, or MXPlayer, etc.

This is a MUCH needed app for us that use WIndows and want to access ALL of our media remotely easily !!!

I personnaly think this could replace Windows Media Center - since it could access EVERYthing !!!!

Thanks,

Hallo,

i have a problem to play music from Google Music to a WD TV Live Box.

Local Music is not the problem. If I play music from Google Music to one of my WD TV Boxes, it doesn't play anything.

I have one WDTVLive Rev. 1 with WDLXTV Firmware and one WDTVLive Rev. 3 with the original firmware. Both the same problem.

I have changed the settings "Use Proxy", but it doesn't help.

Can anyone help me, i can also test something to fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This error message is very unusual but has been observed on at least a NAS. Try restarting your Media Server and browse again, or reboot your NAS is you use a NAS.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What version of Android are you using on this phone ?

Could be some weird phone specific WiFi issue when the screen is off especially if using Android <= 2.2.

Eventually record and send me a log file showing the problem as explained in the first post of this topic.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No idea why your One X doesn't detect the NAS. Could be some weird issue between One X and WiFi router.

For mp3 playback failing, there is a very specific workaround in BubbleUPnP for Dlink NAS streaming to work (here it doesn't it seems).

Can you send me a log file as explained in the first post of this topic, playing a mp3 that doesn't play ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Hi,

Can you describe the Serviio problem you are trying to solve using a proxy server ?

Actually a proxy server can help sanitize data sent by a misbehaving Media Server (I doubt Serviio sends invalid data), and add some DLNA compliance for audio only. But a proxy will stream videos unmodified (eg there is no optional transcoding like it is the case for Internet streaming). Adding transcoding ability to LAN proxies is a functionality that could be added if there is an interest for it.

As a side note, video transcoding require a powerful CPU and most NAS are not up to the task. I'd day you would need at least an Intel Core i3 for video transcoding.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Since I wrote foo_upnp, I guess that yes I support it.

Note that with the upcoming version of BubbleUPnP Server, you will be able to browse videos in foobar2000 (with foo_upnp) and play them remotely (for example using VLC), with optional client transcoding specified in foo_upnp settings.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Record and send me a log as explained in the first post of this topic, until the problem appears.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The only Windows client that exists to access BubbleUPnP Server is foobar2000 + foo_upnp. Refer to the BubbleUPnP Server documentation for more details and on how to setup. Currently it is only possible to access music, but next version of BubbleUpnP Server will make it possible to access videos for playback with your video player of choice (VLC, WMP, ...).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's surprising as it works on my WDTV Live (tyhe original model) using firmware 1.06.15.

You may want to send me a log file as explained in the first post of this topic, playing some Google Music to it.

Make sure to leave "Use Proxy" enabled so I can see what requests it makes.

License

Hi,

Can somebody explain the license construction to me?

I love this app and want to use it to the full extend but have some questions for which I couldn't find the answer:

1) Do I need to buy a license for each install or can I use one for all devices in my home?

2) Is the license just for this version or also for future updates?

Besides the above I was wondering if it is also possible to display artist-art?

Many thanks to whom may answer these questions.

Regards,

Lars
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. You can install the license on as many devices as you want as long as you use the same Google account than used for the purchase on these devices

2. It include future updates

3. Artist art is not supported and there is no Media Server that I know of that set artist images on artist folders.

ICS Lockscreen Bug

First off, thank you for this great app and all the time and effort you put into it. I use it primarily to stream content from my computer to my xbox 360 using Serviio. Anyway, I wanted to bring to your attention that when streaming a video from my Serviio Library to my Xbox 360 renderer, an ICS lockscreen does not appear unless I first stream an audio file.

Renderer Detection

Hi,

Firstly I really like this app, I have tried all the UPNP control point applications I can find for Android, and to me this is easily the best. I use it to control a number of devices (Philips Streamium, Roku Soundbridge, WDTV etc).

I do have a strange situation, I have one device a Philips WAS6050 that is detected by Bubble UPNP when running on my Advent Vega tablet (Honeycomb), but it is never detected by Bubble UPNP on my HTC Desire running 2.2.

They are both running the same versions of Bubble UPNP, does anyone have any ideas why the HTC Desire cannot find this one device (out of the 8 different devices I have), could it be to do with the version of Android?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

progress bar sometimes hangs

Hello everyone. I've been using the licenced version for a couple of days and am very impressed after coming over from JRiver MC's Gizmo Android App that does not work with the Pioneer N-50 or any other renderer (for me anyway). I use it only for audio (FLAC). BubbleUPnP is a better alternative and it is working well with the JRiver library. I have set-up BubbleUPnP server and the Pioneer as an OpenHome renderer etc...

One thing I've noticed on the tablet interface is that sometimes (not always) the track progress bar in the Playing Now screen goes a bit bananas - say freezing at 0.00 even though the music is still playing fine through the Pioneer. If I look at the Playlist before/after such a freeze I can see a pattern. If the track playing is say 3.44 long and it comes to the end and the next track starts, then "3.42" (or some other number close to but less than 3.44 depending on the hysteresis in the network) is momentarily tranposed into the time elapsed field alongside the next track. This usually corrects itself to something more sensible, but sometimes it freezes up with the transposed number. The same number is also displayed in frozen form alongside the progression bar of the Playing Now screen. Then the stability drops and sometimes the Pioneer OpenHome renderer switches off in favour of another renderer on my network.

I searched and searched for something on this but could not find it. Is there a setting I should be looking at? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Some Pionner renderers have a known problem with regular polling: after some time they refuse http connections and become incontrollable or

unreliably controllable.

To workaround this, there is a setting that you can change to make the polling frequency higher:

- Edit the file configuration.xml found in the installation directory of BubbleUPnP Server

- find the <renderer> section related to your Pioneer renderer

- edit the openHomeTimeTaskPollingIntervalMs to a higher value (try 3000 or 5000)

- save the file. If the server runs on Java7 it should restart itself automatically and take into account the new value for the OpenHome renderer. Otherwise restart manually the server. You can check that the new polling value is taken into account by looking at the log file and searching for the value.

Alternatively you can try to run this renderer with openHomeUseEventing set to "true" in the config file. If playlist is not advancing anymore, revert to false.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Older versions of Android can be problematic with WiFi and multicast discovery and http streaming in general. I vaguely remember in the early days of BubbleUPnP some HTC devices not being able of UDP multicast thus failing discovery.

You best bet is to install a recent ROM on this phone like CyanogenMod (even if only Android 2.3). It will likely solve the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Noted, thanks for reporting.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
For now there's only foobar2000 as a client. Soon it will do videos too but not photo. You can also use it for regular LAN access of your Media Server, it is not limited to remote Internet access.

I'm aware that foobar2000 is not for everyone and I'd love to have a full blown web client that would allow to access it all easily from a web browser, but if that ever happens it is still long ways off.

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------

Also been playing around with several DLNA servers where my media is stored. TVersity works great with Bubbleupnp server. My preference though is Wild Media Server. Has a bunch more configuration/streaming/transcoding options. BUT - I cannot get it to work with Bubbleupnp Server. This is what is not working. I can see the Wild media server(WMS) from my phone - so Bubbleupnp is detcting it fine - and there are links to my media. But whan I try to access any mdeia (video, audio, etc.) i get a licesnse expired error from WMS. I have valid licesnses and you have to have a license for each DLNA rendering device that connects to WMS. BUT the tool in WMS that shows the connected DLNA rendering devices does not show Bubbluupnp server connecting to it. So since WMS cannot show that Bubbleupnp is a connected DLNA rendering devcie - i cannot add a licesnse for that connection.

SO short story made long... have you tested Bubbleupnp with WMS - and if so - how can i get it to work ?

Thanks,

KJK
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Then you could use the UPnP tethering feature of Android BubbleUPnP which can make all UPnP devices of a LAN visible on another LAN (Settings > Network and settings > UPnP Tethering). Then you can use whatever UPnP client you want on "another LAN" as they will see the UPnP devices as local devices.

Did not tried it. Does WMS appear in BubbleUPnP Server's Media Server list in the web interface ?
