WMP 12 not detected as Renderer or Library

Hi I've been using BubbleUPnP for a year now and must say it served the BEST,

But all of a sudden it has stopped recog. WMP12 as a renderer

My objective is to stream my Phone media (music in general ) to WMP 12 on Windows 7 Laptop something I'd done frequently and successfully in the past without any trouble.

It is detecting other Android Phone with BubbleUPnP both as library and Renderer and my DLNA enabled Samsung Tele and working fine as well

Somehow not working with WMP 12 /WINDOWS 7

I have a feeling that it has more to do with Windows 7 or WMP 12 as a problem and not the device or BubbleUpNP

Pls help here

Note :

On Homenetwork

Stream chk (allow library )

Allow control

Pls help want to sort out without installing fresh copy of Win 7

The first thing to try is to reboot your WiFi router to check if it fixes the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can you send me (bubbleguuum@free.fr) the BubbleUPnP Server log file (/root/.bubbleupnpserver/BubbleUPnPServer.log.0) so I can check if there are any failures.

Also can you answer these questions:

- are the subs embedded in MKV or external srt

- If embedded, are they in textual form (srt, ass) or image based (only textual is supported) ?

- If embedded, and just after playing a movie, did you wait long enough for sub extraction to complete and be able to select the sub in the Now Playing screen (with the dedicated subtitle icon in the action bar) ?
[Android Apps and Games] .:Stefan:.:
hmm, sounds logical... ;)

but where to find proper binaries? seems not to be that easy, especially when looking for an actual version (release) of ffmpeg...
[Android Apps and Games] TheXooxy:
- the subs are embedded in textual form mostly ass

- how long i have to wait? i waited about 5 minutes or so where the movies duration was something about 25minutes. in the actionbar menu i could only select that there are no subs available

Streaming from WevDav server

Is any possibility to stream audio/video/photo content from any WebDav/WebDavs server? I mean about OwnCloud server basically.

UPnPlay works very well, it found everything instantly. I'll attach a log later

EDIT1

I put tcpdump on my router, it seems BubbleUpnp does not send a udp request to 239.255.255.250.1900, but UPnPlay does and get answers by other devices. As you can see in the log, my device has ipv4 and ipv6 (ignore the ------). But i only use ipv4, cant disable ipv6 on android

ipv6 is listed at first, maybe this is the problem?

Btw, the description in the IP where the logging options is is outdated

EDIT2

I set up on a device a IPv6 tunnel, routing and dns. Now the android device gets a public routable ipv6

-> BubbleUpnp finds all devices in the local nerwork! :confused:

It accesses them by ipv4, the upnp server have no ipv6 enabled. Please fix :)

Running paid version on a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 from a Synology NAS and to a Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6. Thanks for creating the best DMC I've found!

I had an extended issue with erratic failure of track advance resulting in repeated tracks. Finally found that uninstalling and reinstalling BubbleUPnP fixed it! Whew.... Did a reinstall of the OS on my NAS, rebooted everything, nothing was helping, then found it. What a relief!

So, my request is the ability to save and retrieve settings so we wouldn't have to go through reconfiguration if reinstall is ever needed.

Thank you again.........
[Android Apps and Games] VimalLFC:
Thanks for a quick reply but the problem remains even after reboot and tried that several times over past month or so

Also it is not detecting WMP as renderer or library even on different home network created via another android hotspot

Chk- Homenetwork yes

Stream yes

Remote control yes

Now I want to inform here that the Win 7 is not at detected neither as library or renderer
[Android Apps and Games] VimalLFC:
RESOLVED --- FIREWALL was the problem just unchecked that in Kaspersky ,tadaa

Now WMP 12 as renderer and WIN 7 PC as library.

Funny I posted the problem and solved it myself bizzare :laugh::laugh::laugh:

BTW one of my Batman anime 1080p movie is also not playing:(
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Not sure you can even find proper binaries as it is less popular than x86 (for which there are several choices).

Can you describe what you need ffmpeg for in relation to BubbleUPnP Server. I don't expect an armv5 CPU to be powerful

enough to transcode anything else than audio (and images).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Not possible currently.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
According to the log, your network setup has nothing special and I do not see any failure or something unusual.

All Android devices have an ipv4 and ipv6 address for the network interfaces.

BubbleUPnP only supports UPnP through ipv4 (even if it lists the ipv6 address).

It is very possible UPnPlay supports ipv6 and emit broadcast searches on ipv6 addresses and that's why it works.

It is very weird that you do not see broadcast UDP M-SEARCH requests on 239.255.255.250:1900 with wireshark.

I'm pretty sure BubbleUPnP emits them, otherwise it would not work at all. Maybe something is blocking it on your router or your PC ?

Or something is blocking it on your Android device (could happen if your device is rooted and you run a firewall app on it, I remember it happened for a user).

I'd really like to understand what is happening, in case it happens on other setups...
[Android Apps and Games] mackowiakp:
So what about future?
[Android Apps and Games] .:Stefan:.:
Okay, I thought it might be useful but on the other hand, if the CPU will be too slow anyway and the server can work without ffmpeg perfectly, I will not use it.
[Android Apps and Games] rohinsadh:
Great App! :good: :cool:

I am using it with my Tab - Archos 80G9 - 250GB HDD Model. Have purchased the license also :angel:

Just one problem which may be device/OS related but still thot if you may have a solution - WiFi does not stay awake which stops the streaming. Can you build a functionality in the App to Keep Device

WiFi Awake/On

during streaming to Renderer... will be of great help.

Thanx

R.
[Android Apps and Games] defim:
Yes, nothing special with network. Sometime I'm using an igmp proxy to access upnp from other subnets, but while tests it was disabled.

I'm using a firewall on android devices, but not on router (lan side). For the tests i've set BubbleUpnp and the other app to "trust".

The router (where minidlna is installed) has no ipv6 enabled. As i can only see the broadcasts with tcpdump by the other app i think bubbleupnp fails to send it.

Additional test with another device (defy), same result: BubbleUpnp cant find devices, the other app does. But the "ipv6 trick" did not work for bubbleupnp
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can you test disabling entirely that Android firewall app ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The app keep WiFi on already. If WiFi does not stay awake, it is a ROM bug. Or maybe it stays awake but the connection drops intermittently (happens with some Android versions / Router combinations).
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
There are also some battery saver apps that turn off WiFi when the screen turns off.

I think even stock android has such a setting under WiFi advanced settings. I would suggest to go there and make sure "keep WiFi on during sleep" is set to "always".
[Android Apps and Games] defim:
"trust" an app is like disabled for that app (i developed it by myself, so i'm sure)
[Android Apps and Games] .:Stefan:.:
Hi,

did you have a chance to take a look into the logfile which I have sent to you.

I still did no way to boot the server automatically via statup script perfectly. The webconfig is still completely empty, but not when I start the server manually via

./launch.sh

This is the code of my startup script and it is located in /etc/rc.d/extensions.d/

#!/bin/sh

JAVA_HOME=/opt/ejre1.7.0_60/
export JAVA_HOME

nohup /usr/local/BubbleUPnPServer/launch.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 &

Also when I execute this script manually after killing BubbleUPnPServer at first via the webconfig, the server loads as it should.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Inconsistent presentation of album information

There appears to be an inconsistency in the presentation of album information. The library view of an album shows the composer and the total number of tracks but both of these items are missing from the otherwise identical 'Album view' option of the Playlist.

If there is no need for such a difference I would prefer this missing information to be added to the Playlist.

David
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Will fix
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Repo for what distribution / version ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
In a script you need to start launch.sh with the install dir being the current dir, otherwise it will not find the web server files:

cd /usr/local/BubbleUPnPServer && nohup ./launch.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 &
[Android Apps and Games] haggis999:
Thanks, as always, for your rapid and positive response.

David
[Android Apps and Games] .:Stefan:.:
So, in other words I need to put the BubbleUPnPServer and all related files into the same dir where also my auto start script is located?

EDIT: Just have noticed that small but significant "cd" command :)

Will test it tonight...

Buffering issues.

Guys I am having an issue whikle streaming an HD content through BubbleUPnP to Chromecast.

Every 10-15 second the cast will stop for re-buffering. When I switch the source quality to SD - everything goes smooth.

I stream from an Internet, so my initial thought was - bandwidth issue (though I have 50Mbps cable) - but when playing the same HD video on the phone - it plays without issues, and buffers very quickly in advance. So I thought it might have to do with the amount of video Chromecast is able to buffer.

forgot to mention - video is natively supported by Chromecast - so there is no re-render going on.

Is there any solution for these?

Hi

I have got around using the app for some basic functions and i am happily casting my media from my nexus 5 to my himedia q5 android box(app installed on both devices)

Am loving the app and have bought the license.

Just one question, is it possible to steam you tube videos to another renderer on the network, in my case from my Nexus 5 to my Android tv box.

I have successfully streamed videos stored on my nexus 5 to my tv box.

I tried sharing the YouTube video using the share option in the YouTube app and was prompted to download semperVidlinks which i did. But all i got was video playing on my nexus 5 and sound coming from my TV box.

Thanks for this awesome app.

Cheers!!

cache

Hello there,

For several days I'm looking for a solution to the problems I encounter with Bubbleupnp namely:

- Loading of the long library whenever I want to use (2500 artists, 6500 albums) does not remain cached

- The reading of music is long and the music change.

I must say that Bubbleupnp is really the solution I'm looking for.

Thank you in-advance for your help.

Here is my setup:

PC

Windows 8

JRiver 19

Bubbleupnp server

SAMSUNG

GT-P5110

Android 4,1,2

Bubbleupnp
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Saucy is not in the PPA because it is not possible to upload packages for non LTS versions ater 6 months they have been realesed.

But you can easily upgrade this way:

wget https://launchpad.net/~bubbleguuum/+archive/bubbleupnpserver/+files/bubbleupnpserver_0.8.3-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i bubbleupnpserver_0.8.3-1_all.deb
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Selecting audio tracks in videos is only possible for playback to Chromecast with BubbleUPnP Server is installed (in which case the audio track can be selected in the Now Playing screen).

In other case, the only possible way to do it would be:

- a renderer that support audio track selection with its remote (not sure this exists)

- a transcoding media server that exposes a video with multiple audio tracks as multiple videos each with a different audio track. Not sure such media server exists
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Normally youtube is possible although in most cases it would be simplier to cast it using the Youtube Chromecast button.

When you just got audio on your TV, was the screen black ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
For such large collections it is recommended to use a media server that is able to split list by first letter (A, B , ...") or grouping (A-C, D-F, ...) to have smaller folders that loads faster.

JRMC has a setting for that. Let me know if you need help to find it.
[Android Apps and Games] shamps:
Hi

Thanks for the response.

I don't have a chromecast device, so should i be able to use the chromecast button.

Secondly, i tried again and actually the audio got played because the audiocast button was active.

So, now to ask simply, is it possible to stream YouTube video from one android device to another on the same network with both having bubbleupnp installed?

In my case that would be from the nexus 5 to the himedia q5 tv box.

Sorry for such noob questions.

Thanks in advance!!

Cheers!!

Is resume available?

I have been searching this enormous thread, but I have not finded recent information. Is there any option to resume a file from previous position? Maybe in the premium versión? I would like to have this feature. I think it is possible, because I have active the option for the seeking bar to follows the reproduction, so I think the app can know the actual position, and seek on the next time.

Thanks for your time! :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] diegoweb:
Isn't there any way you develop a custom solution for that? It doesn't need to be "THAT" advanced. Only a way to select Audio Track from a Select Box.

Because I can play Dual Audio files from MX Player without problems.

I saw an option that I can select a "External Video Player", what is that function to?

Thanks and congratulations for this GREAT app. This new Layout is awesome :)

Hi there,

Two points here:

1. I use bubbleupnp as a player of an application I use to play videos. I have problems using xbmc as a renderer when videos come from some webs. Allmyvideos is one of theese webs.

If I use cast2TV-Lite the video plays ok but if I use ububbleupnp, it doesn't work.

I've been analyzing the logs and problem seems to be the proxy server bubbleupnp creates. When cast2tv-lite sends a video, xbmc makes a connection to allmyvideos and opens the video. When bubbleupnp sends the video, xbmc first opens a connection to the proxy server and after that opens a connection to allmyvideos but using the proxy as a referer.

The problem seems to be the referer. Allmyvideos denies to downloads a video redirected from other web.

I suppose you use a proxy as a norm because you will redirect content to a transcoding server if you need it but, could you please send to xbmc the original url when there is no transcoding? I think this would solve the problem.

2. I would like bubbleupnp to pop up a selection menu that would let me select the renderer to use every time I use bubbleupnp as a player. May be you could do a settings option to choose between pop up selection or last renderer like now.

3. To be able to rename the playlist items. I end up with names like fffa45353453d42345465664dsd089342.flv or video.mp4. It's useless this way.

Thanks in advance and congrats for the application. I've bought the license to support it.

Cannot download to SDCard1

Hi,

First of all thanks for your excellent software, I purchased the license for my android phone some time ago and have had no cause to regret my decision.

Recently I have added an extra 16GB micro SD card to my Sony Xperia phone but have been unable to download music from my NAS (WD MyBook Duo) to the extra SD card using BubbleUPNP. I ccan download music to my internal storage (sdcard0) but when I change the download location to sdcard1 and download an album it tries to download it and then gives me the message that it failed (downloaded 0 files of the total number on the album).

I have attached the log file from the application, any help you could give me on this would be much appreciated. As you can see from the log file it has tried to download an album to "/sdcard1/BubbleUPnP/Albums".

Thanks,

Brendhan
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The download fails because the WD fails the http connection for an unknown reason.

It has nothing to do with the dowload location on the sd card.

Maybe try to reboot it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. BubbleUPnP proxy all streams sent from third party apps as it is necessary for many UPnP/DLNA renderers to play such streams at all, in particular (but not only) DLNA TVs. That's not the case of XBMC though and I'll see if I can exclude it from proxying.

Proxying has generally no side effect, unless a target http server explicitely deny proxies.

2. No plan for that

3. This is already possible: select "Edit metadata" in the context menu of a playlist item
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. BubbleUPnP simply let you choose one of the configured Google account on your device

2. Settings > Local Media Server > Google Music > Select account

3. You can sync using the sync icon shown in most Google Music subfolders or in Settings > Local Media Server > Google Music
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No idea really. My guess is that no SSDP M-SEARCH request gets out of your device for ipv4.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's no such functionality. I'm noting your request but no promise.

If you play locally and use MX Player it supports remembering the last position.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Should be possible.

On your tv box install MX Player and BubbleUPnP and in BubbleUPnP check that MX Player is selected in Settings > Local Renderer > Video player.

Now from your other device you should be able to select BubbleUPnP running on the tv box as renderer, and play videos to it.
[Android Apps and Games] shamps:
Thanks for the response, i installed MXplayer on my target device and set it as default video player for remote playing.

I am sorry but i think i am still missing something.

Please see how i am going about :

Step 1 : choose to share the video with bubbleupnp

Step 2 : this screen comes up and asks me to choose the target player

I choose bubbleupnp but i get this message :

Dont know what i am missing here. Thanks in advance!!

Download fails

Hi,

Thanks for responding. I have tried rebooting the NAS and it seems to have had an effect but is still not downloading. Rather than taking a long time to fail it now fails immediately and the message in the log file is now:

[com.bubblesoft.a] WARNING - 05:38:37.575 - DownloadManagerTask ....link removed.... 13cac2529ac01475920fd562f85df8da$1$1698$A%20Sense%20Of%20Place$Album$Music.mp3: could not create directory: /storage/sdcard1/Music/Albums/John Mayall - A Sense Of Place

And yet I can still download the to the internal memory (sdcard0). I have created the folder "Albums" in the above location but this has had no effect. I have attached the latest log file.

Thanks,

Brendhan
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The connection issue is indeed solved. But now the app can't write to the additional sd card because you are likely running Android KitKat, and since KitKat it's not possible for apps to write to additional sd cards, for which we can thank Google. This can only be changed with rooting.

If you are not running KitKat, then there is a permission issue.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You must select your target renderer (eg your tv running BubbleUPnP) in the side menu before playback to direct playback to it.

Here you see dialogs for playing video to the local device (in which case a video player app must be selected).
[Android Apps and Games] Brendhan:
KitKat bug.

Thanks for getting back to me. I am indeed running KitKat. That seems a bit short-sighted of Google! I guess I'll just have to move it manually to the extra SD card for now until Google change their mind.

Thanks,

As i wrote: I put tcpdump on my wlan router, adn it does not get a broadcaast by BubbleUpnp, but if start the other app i get it and i could see the other upnp devices/servers are answering to this. So BubbleUpnp should have a bug. Maybe you could create a debug version which loggs more than the posted log?
