FYI, I kinda succeeded in making DLNA shares from Kodi discoverable, and playable from hacked PS Vita + Network Media Player (picky official sony app fetched from from a decrypted pkg).

The basic shares from Kodi kinda worked, but lost filenames along the way, so I spent frustrating hours going through emby/ps4 server/ums/vanilla plex/etc, bloody useless turd sandwiches allothem, especially emby.

BB got there almost out of the box. 1st config that worked: Kodi > Plexconnect > Bubbles server > Vita.

No thumbs/artwork, mean discovery flood, breaking connections, much left to be desired... perhaps you'll consider supporting this officially? People are presently drunk with making their hacked vitas do stuff, dlna client thing is perfect.

Would you consider supporting this case? It should really gain momentum

xposed module

[MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION],

Well, I have partial success so far. I now have a Magisk rooted Samsung tablet (Tab S2) with 7.0 and running the Magisk installable xposed 88.1 sdk 24. Audiocast is enabled and I have the toggle switch for my renderer. I can start it and it seems to run fine. My renderer even shows indication that it is playing. But no sound! I tried Pandora, Google Music, VLC without luck. Then I turned off audiocast and found that no sound came even playing tracks from NAS. I disabled xposed and playing from NAS worked again. Kinda strange symptom. I cleared davlik cache and rebooted more than once. I'm stuck at this point unless you have any suggestions. Would the log that I can enable from the Bubble audiocast settings be helpful in seeing what might be wrong? If so, what operations/how long should I run generating the log and where would I then find it?

Thanks

Just a bug report from a user of BubbleUPnPServer - I use the server on a QNAP NAS and I found that the auto-update does not work. Mine was still reporting 0.9update 23 today while update26 is available. i have the auto update checked. Pushing the search update button gives the message 'no update available'. In order to upgrade to update26 I had to completely remove the QPKG from the NAS, and re-install it. Restarting the server did not work. Otherwise thanks for this free and useful software. Thank you.

How do I get kodi on my firestick to show up as a local renderer in the list. It shows firestick but when using that the player is awful and almost always cannot play the audio hence hoping kodi is possible as a local renderer. I have kodi installed with all dlna/upnp options selected in kodi and on the same network and nothing shows on bubbleupnp app
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
In Kodi settings , enable 'Service settings > UPnP/DLNA > Allow remote control via UPnP'
[Android Apps and Games] rikin93:
I've done this, all the options in that menu are enabled and still can't see it on bubbleupnp. Both devices are connected to the same WiFi network too and I can access through the upnp:// location on kodi but I want to control it from bubbleupnp app on my phone so I can pause etc
[Android Apps and Games] Cod3rror:
First of all. I LOVE this app. It's absolutely fantastic. I paid the full price on Google Play and it's by far my favourite purchase on Android. And so far the dev seems to improve it at each release without ruining something and taking away a feature *knock on wood*.

The way I use this app is this: I have my music stored on Dropbox, and I connect to it with BubbleUPnP and stream it to my phone. Then I have foobar setup on my PC with UPnP enabled and I stream from my phone to foobar on my PC from my Dropbox, amazing! No need to keep files on PC or the phone and take up space. And this is the only UPnP streaming app that displays album art on foobar.

I love all the little customizations, like cursor following playlist, or switching (or not) to Play screen when selecting a song from the playlist. Being able to add all the tracks from a folder (Dropbox in my case). etc...

Now, all that said though, I have a couple of suggestions.

1) When streaming music from Dropbox, album art is not displayed in BubbleUPnP unfortunately. (Example: screenshot below. That song is being played from Dropbox. I know it has album art embedded, but it's not being displayed by BubbleUPnP.

2) I wish the seekbar was thicker, it's hard to tap precisely on the current, thin one.

Or, if you could implement something like this, it would be amazing.

3) This is really a minor suggestion, but it would be nice if we could change accents of the app. Like the colour of seekbar, etc...

Good day, great application. The only problem is that he constantly shows me that I do not own a license. After uninstalling and reinstalling the license, the app only works for a minute and then loses the license again. Huawei Mate 8 AL10. Please help. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] zekeblue:
Until bubbleguuum replies, you might check to see if you have any power saving app or function that allows you to exclude selected apps and exclude the bubbleupnp license. This affected samsung devices, don't know if it would be true for yours.

1)

Album art (and album metadata) is not extracted for files from cloud services because this is slow.

However there is an exception if when you enter a cloud folder, BubbleUPnP infers it contains a music album,

which is the case based on naming conventions if:

- music files filenames start with a number which is assumed to be a tracknumber. Number can be followed by any of the following separator: "-", " ", ".", "_"

- there are not 2 files starting with the same number

So if you have a folder looking like (what follows tracknumber could be anything and not used):

01 - artist - track1.mp3

02 - artist - track2.mp3

...

N - artist - trackN.mp3

BubbleUPnP will infer this is a music album, extract album art and album metadata from track1 (or use Folder.jpg if present) , then apply it to all other tracks

2) No plan to make it thinner. You can tap anywhere on the seekbar and drag it to the left or right (eg it is not necessary to tap directly at the exact location you cant to seek)

3) Could be interesting but not sure how easy it would be so no promise

Of course there is no update, but the log will allow to see me any eventual error that prevents to see updates.

Weird problem. Google Music works for sure with Audio Cast. Not sure about Pandora and VLC. depends if they play audio using native code or not (likely for VLC) which is out of reach to Xposed.

Are you certain you have no sound, with the module enabled but Audio Cast turned off in BubbleUPnP for your renderer, if you play to your external renderer music from your NAS ?

[Android Apps and Games] zekeblue:
Thanks. I'll give it a double check test tonight to make sure about the symptom. The primary reason for going this route initially though, was to access Pandora without needing bluetooth to my system. So, if Pandora isn't Audio Cast friendly, I don't want either of us to go to far with this.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Record and send me at least the main BubbleUPnP log file as explained in first post (Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubblupnp/log.txt). And if by miracle it magically appears this time, the license log as well.

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP Server only handle http and https streams. No plan for smb URLs, which are not standard and specific to Kodi.

Kodi should really wrap these smb URL in http URL for better interoperability.

EDIT: must check if Kodi does not expose both a smb and http URL and if BubbleUPnP Server is not picking the wrong one.
[Android Apps and Games] zekeblue:
[MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION]

Well, I don't know what I did, but I can now leave xposed active, the audiocast toggle is present and switched off, and play files from the NAS ok. Still can't get any audiocast sound. I'm getting resigned to using bluetooth for some things.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:

Confirming Kodi is sending http URL alongside smb. I have filtered out smb for the next update so they do not get in the way.

[MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION] I'm having some problems with audio playback, hope you can help:

I have BubbleUPnP Server on a Win10 PC and BubbleUPnP on a Samsung S7. Recently I have noticed audio playback for some audio files doesn't start immediately after selecting the audio file. E.g. some MP3s take 10-15 seconds before playback starts.

I can see that on the "Now Playing" screen, the Word "Caching" is flashing after the technical info for the 10-15 seconds before playback starts. Once playback does start the word "Caching" disappears and it does not say "Cached".

I have looked through the logs, which i can send over if required, the below line is showing: "got HEAD request, range request, or path request has no extension: no caching"

Do you have any idea what could be causing the delay?

[bug] Just received my Google Home Mini, and tried to stream audio from BubbleUPNP to it as a Renderer. When the phone goes idle the connection breaks though and when pressing play again it always resets and does not resume. It also breaks the moment when pressing the settings ||| symbol in BubbleUPNP. This just happens when Bluetooth is enabled it seems. If I turn it off, it works.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=1442011]Safwaan[/MENTION]

Verify that 'Settings > Network and settings > Seekable tracks' is not enabled. When enabled and transcoding must be performed, playback cannot start before BubbleUPnP Server has full transcoded the file (which takes several seconds).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=3058841]mkdr[/MENTION]

Weird issues although I never tested Google Home Mini as a cast renderer (but it should work like any other Google Cast device).

Can you send me a separate log file for each problem where you operate the app to reproduce the specific problem ? See first post for logging instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] misiek_to_ja:
Hi,

I just checked if I can use XBMC built-in player to play/watch my phone content. Unfortunately it is also not possible :( I can only play the content from phone to XBMC renderer, but it also works very unstable, I can send few files and then it stops working. I can send you XBMC logs, but you can easily install it by yourself and check it. So it is unusable for me at the moment:

- it does not work with XBox 360

- it does not work with XBMC

Thank you for the report for XBMC. I never tested browsing the local media server from it and there was indeed a problem that I fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'm not sure I understand exactly but I'm assuming you want to access your Twonky server over the Internet and tried to enter its ip address in the Network Settings page ? This page is for connection to BubbleUPnP Server *only* which acts as a gateway to access your LAN Media Servers through the Internet.

See first post of this thread for a link to BubbleUPnP Server.

Not possible until I make the folders of the local media server bookmarkable (like it is possible with other external media servers).

Problem installing BubbleUPnP server on DNS-323 NAS

Hello,

we tried to install JavaSE6 headless for ARMv5 on the mentioned device for the BubbleUPnP server. But failed.

OpenJDK6 had no chance at all for having x86 and x64 assembly parts.

The OS is the original Kernel with Funplug installed.

Is thare any way to use on this NAS with the BubbleUPnP server? Could you please suggest something like Java possible run on it?

Or other way to install BubbleUPnP without installind a different Linux distribution like Debian?

I realy like this app, and want to use it trought the Internet :-) so please help.

Thanks.

Just an idea...

Hi my friend!

While I was "playing" with your wonderfull application I found that when I was sending a music piece to my tv , my tv shows its music interface(which I don't like) and I could not change anything in the "picture" I see. No dimming of the screen, no info about the music track I play(artist, album, etc). But when I send a photo on my tv I can change the picture settings and I can play some music while I am seeing the photo. So I thought : "can bubbleupnp send an image to my tv when I select a music track to play?" For example when I select a track, bubbleupnp sends no "music" signal to upnp device but a "photo" or "video" image to the device with, for example, the cover of the album and a "template" like info of the track(album, artist, etc) and the music playing in the back. I propose this , not only for my tv but for any upnp device. Is this possible? Or easy? Just an idea...
[Android Apps and Games] Quiksmage:
Thanks for your work on this. It's nice to see that there's a replacement to orb (which works terribly on android :<)

For local networks i've been using PS3 Media player as a UPNP device. It offers the ability to transcode all my media for viewing on the ps3 and other devices, but I've found that none of the transcoding options seem to work with any player i send at it on android. This becomes a problem with some rather large files I have (1080p DTS movies @ 10+ GB) I know this isn't a problem specifically with your app, but are there any options for a different transcoder or settings that you may know of to let me view this content on my device?

It uses MEncoder and TsMuxer and converts the files to an mpeg format which doesn't seem to work well on any android player (streaming, at least).

What would you recommend, if you don't mind, for streaming an entire media library 4+ TB for access on android/windows/most if not all platforms? (remotely;3g/4g/WiFi/remotely wired)

What works perfectly on my touchpad is kalemsoft media player, but alas it is webos only and does all its transcoding and such through its own software.

On a side note, from all the testing I've done I find that MXplayer seems to work the best with "S/W decoding (Fast)" set in the options. Works great for anime (subtitles and all with the ability to choose audio/subtitles in the mediaplayer without problems even during playerback) in MKV and any file that isn't too much for the CPU to handle. Hardware decoding hasn't worked well for me on MXplayer or Vplayer (massive stuttering).

upnp thetering

Hi bubbleguum,

I have tested your wonderful bubbleupnp software, but i have a little Problem.

I installed the Bubble UPNP Server on my Synology Nas. At the moment i have no x264 support, but i think i will fix it later and this isn the cause of the problem.

When I browse my files on my smartphone(Galaxy S III) everything is okay, i can remotely watch videos... But if i enable in the configuration of the remote station the last point UPNP thetering, my Synology NAS is visible in the foreign homenetwork, but i can't view pictures, play music, play videos. :(

My TV says files are not supported....

If i stream it to the smartfone everything works fine. But its not possible with thetering.

I hope that you can help me.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Not sure I can help you there. You need to get Java6 running one way or another on your NAS for BubbleUPnP Server to work. And the procedure is different for every NAS (When Java is available at all).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'm not sure I understand your message. Do you mean that when playing music, the TV do not display any metadata (album, artist, album art, ...) ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can have a go at BubbleUPnP Server (see first post of this topic for link) doing the transcoding (from your existing Media Server), which should play on regular 3rd party video player apps. It will work over mobile or WiFi. But transcoded videos will lose the eventual subtitles that are in the original video (eg MKV)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thank you, now I understand what you mean. I'll see if I can make a quick fix.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Maybe the TV just refuse to play BubbleUPnP Server stream URLs that are not in the LAN. Has the TV Internet connectivity? This is required for tethering as when doing stream requests, it connects to BubbleUPnP Server directly. Stream doesn't go through the phone (which has Internet connectivy).
[Android Apps and Games] l.a.r.s.:
Hi, my TV has a Internet connection. I tested it additionally to stream a video to the Windows Media Player and everytime when i press the file, nothing happens. --> It can't be a problem of the TV because my PC with WMC has internet connectivity. Any ideas how to solve the Problem?

Two Wishes for the next version:

- Support of local Folder /mnt/emmc

- Control more than one Renderer at the same time to use the App for Multi Room Streaming

Anyway, thx for this great App!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. Already possible (with the licensed version): add /mnt/emmc as a Custom Mount Point in Settings > Local Media Server > Content.

Then /mnt/emmc folder should appear as a root folder of the local media server.

2. Already possible using the OpenHome renderer functionality of BubbleUPnP Server. Each renderer will have its own playlist. As a bonus, you can leave the app and playlist track advance will continue.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is difficult to troubleshoot given the number of components involved.

In WMP, for an item that do not play, can you open its properties (context menu), and PM me the http URL address that it shows (do not post it publicly as it likely contains your home gateway ip address) ?
