I hope someone can help me.

I tried to use Bubble UPNP client on a Volvo SC (connected touch) which is android 2.3 based. What I like to do is to transcode flac data on a server running foobar with Bubble server and Bubble upnp to the Volvo SCT and be able to play my music whilst driving. The SCT is connected using a Vodafone NL 3G dongle.

The problem is that the server never shows up at the device tab. When I enter the server settigns and press test I get a message that the connection is working. Then I press apply but at the device tab the server is never displayed (only local device/library is available). I have set the connection to be available on Wifi/mobile/ethernet.

When I try the exact same settings on an Android mobile phone then the server immediately shows at the device tab and I can stream over 3G.

When I install the demo server then the connection is working properly and I can stream from the demo server. How can I connect to my own server?

Any advice what to log or to test?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It would require BubbleUPnP to decode audio to PCM (WAV), apply equalizing and stream the result to your renderer.

Not a piece of cake and guaranteed battery hog (CPU).

So there's currently no plan for such feature. For now equalizing is limited to local playback.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It could, so you can send me a log file up to the point track advance goes kaboom (see fisrt post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Send me a log file, doing the (successful) connection test then letting it connect clicking the OK button on the same screen (see first post of this topic for logging instructions).

Also check that there is at least one media server listed in BubbleUPnP Server's web configuration "Media Servers" tab, and that "Make this media server available..." is checked.

Hello,

Any way to implement a "resume ” feature? It would be very nice to have it when for example you interrupt a movie 'cause you don't have time to finish watching it and you reopen bubble after some days resuming automatically the point where you left the movie...

A log file of the playlist issue has just been sent to you, as requested. The log was recorded while simply using BubbleUPnP's 'Local Renderer' option, so the problem has nothing to do with either JRMC or my Oppo.

Remove a Downloaded File

Hi

First of all, thanks for this great Application! :good:

One question, is there any functionality or is one planned for a next release to remove downloaded files?

Today, I need another APP when I want to remove local files. It would be great when I can do that on an easy way with the BubbleUPNP App. Like the download function.

Best Regards

Hi Bubbleguuum,

Many thanks for your very rapid analysis of my log - which showed that (unknown to me) the shuffle option was in effect, which fully explained my symptoms. I now feel a bit stupid for not having noticed that the crossed arrows icon on the Playing Now screen was blue rather than grey!

I never thought to check the colour of that little icon because I knew I had not selected the shuffle option during any of my recent attempts to play my music. What I did not realise, until you told me in your email this morning, is that the shuffle option setting persists after exiting the app. I have not been using BubbleUPnP for at least two weeks and it is only now that I remember briefly experimenting back then with track shuffling.

For a classical music enthusiast like myself, the shuffle option is normally of no use at all, so a persistent setting of this option is not something I would choose. However, perhaps the majority of your users exploit shuffle on a regular basis and thus see things a little differently.

[Android Apps and Games] gebla:
Thanks. i send you a log file
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It shows the cause of the problem.

Your Volvo Android uses a custom network type named "usbmodem" that is not standard at all and identified by BubbleUPNP as neither mobile, WiFi nor ethernet.

That's why the connection to your home BubbleUPnP Server is skipped.

I've fixed it so this "usbmodem" network type fall into the Ethernet category.

This fix will be in the next version of BubbleUPnP that I will release very soon.

It worked with the demo BubbleUPnP Server because the wizard connects to it unconditionaly, regardless of the network connection.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No promise but I'll look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I have noted your suggestion but not promise if it will be added.

eq

hello,

I have installed several EQ apps, but none of them work with bubbleupnp while i am streaming the music to another device. is there any way/app to solve it? are you planning to include an EQ in future updates?

another question, i know that right now is not possible to edit metadata tags with bubbleupnp but, are you considering to allow it in future releases? it could be ver useful

thank!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Equalizer is for local playback only. See this post for more info.

No, as most media servers do not support modifying metadata.

And this is something that I believe is beyond the scope of the app.
[Android Apps and Games] haggis999:
I agree with bubbleguuum on this one. In my experience, most metadata entry is done in batches after ripping a bunch of CDs and this process is much easier using the full size keyboard and large screen of a computer rather than on a mobile phone or tablet. Even minor metadata edits are probably done more safely on a computer.

Extending the scope of BubbleUPnP would also have the undesirable effect of making the app a little more complicated than necessary for its prime purpose.

Cannot read files with [ in the name

I was listening to some music on my Xperia T and found that Bubble uPNP crashes if the file name has a [ or ] in the title. Is this a known bug and is it scheduled to be fixed?

Removing of empty folder bookmark

First thing.. it's a good application but no perfect.

- I cannot remove an empty folder (bookmarked)... there is the remove option but without an effect

- It would be nice to give the bookmarks a own name and that folders are not placed in another folder with all the same name.. this makes not much sense and is the thing I expect from a bookmark... a good feature would be to place a shortcut on the home screen

Great functionality, will we see a UI refresh?

I love the features built into this app and thanks for the hard work. There really are not any other DLNA apps that come close the features of this app, but I find the UI is really starting to detract from the overall experience, especially on tablets. Replacing the what seems like a legacy 'bottom of screen tab' navigation with the android slide in menu and adding a grid view of albums rather than only the list option now that wastes a lot of screen space when browsing a music library on large phones and tablets are some things I think could really endear this app to many more users and create some consistency within the android system. For me I find myself using other apps when playing music locally as their library browsing and app design is more pleasing. Great work on the sheer number of features though. I understand there are a lot of requests demanding time from you, but are you planning a re-work of the UI at this stage?

Seekable videos

Hi, is there any plans to integrate seekable videos via remote connection?

Reading the threads, there seem to be a limitation, however I have also tested "Skifta" + Mxplayer and the videos are seekable remotely.

However I prefer all other aspects of your application.

Not sure how they achieved it, is this something feasible on your platform? where does the limitation come from vs Skifta?

Thank you very much,

Hi guys, have some questions about the BubbleUPnP app.

Bought the full app yesterday and I am very impressed.

Working perfectly together with my Raumfeld Connector2.

Streaming from my Syno NAS to my old fashion Sony QS amplifier.

This is the first app that does this job almost perfectly.

I have two questions about the app and I am sorry if they are asked before but searching in Tapatalk is far from perfect.

- On my Tablet the full scale album view is terrible, blown up image with almost no detail. The not scaled image is very tiny. What is the best solution to show full scale high detailed album images. Tried to put larger images into my NAS album folder but that did not work.

Is it possible to have better Album images?

- Is it possible to show the track title as track title only. Currently it shows as number/ title / band / album. Even in now playing where the Album and Band are already shown in the header the track title is giving this info again. Would be nice if only the track title is shown. The cluttered track title is also scrobbled to the last.fm library wich cannot handle this info at all and the last.fm site deals with this info as a totally new song. Very unwanted.

Any tips are much apriciated.
[Android Apps and Games] gebla:
Thanks for the fast fix for Volvo. Streaming from foobar is now working but I cannot get .flac transcoded to .mp3 Bubbleupnp always shows that flac files are played. I have all transcoding switched on and set to 128 kb I also tried the overrule setting in foobar but still flac is being played. I sent you a log file by mail.

If I try bubbleupnp on an Android phone the file is being transcoded from flac to mp3. It seems that the server is doing the correct job.

Unknown Artist

Hi.

All of the list views (browse by recently added, artist, ...) show Unknown Artist under the album name. The albums have data for Artist and Album Artist tags. I suspect the Synology Media Server sends the metatdata correctly as the artist information is present in Synology Audio Station.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Is there a problem on Bubblesoftapps.com? I can't access the website - it just hangs.

I have the paid for version of BubbleUPnP but haven't used it for a while.

Today, when I tried to use it, it didn't list my Windows 7 machine amongst my available Devices on my tablet. (my XBMC machine was listed)

I've stopped and restarted the BubbleUPnp Server service and checked that it is running.

So I tried running the Internet Connectivity test and am getting

Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks

Nice job amazing !
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'm thinking of a UI redesign but due to the complexity of the app it is long ways off. And it would require Android 4+.

The app's UI was designed at the time Android 2.x was the norm, although I've always integrated some features of the latest Android versions.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
On which media server is that track from ?

can you explain what you mean by crash ? The app just disappear or the track simply doesn't play ?

I would help if you send me a log file playing that track (see first post of this topic for details).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Are they transcoded ?

The seek limitation is with transcoded videos only.

To support seeking with transcoded videos, HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) must be used.

Although it is relatively easy to geneate HLS streams from files, I could not find a way to generate HLS streams from http streams, which

is what BubbleUPnP Server can only access (it doesn't have direct access to video files managed by the underlying media servers).

The Skifta server you installed on your PC all have direct access to files, thus can generate HLS streams (assuming it is transcoding).

In Android BubbleUPnP, even if seeking is not available, you can start a transcoded video at the specified position (long-click on video > Play video from position)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This is likely due to your media server running on your NAS returning thumbnails to BubbleUPnP.

Depending on the media server it might be configurable. What media server is running on your Synology ?

Again, this title is returned by your media server.

There's not much BubbleUPnP can do here.

You migth get better help on how to configure this media server on the relevant forum.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is accessible currently

check that the machine running BubbleUPNP Server can ping bubblesoftapps.com.

Also, in case it is an intermittent error (SSL can be like that sometimes) retry the test a few times
[Android Apps and Games] 777.300:
Thanks for the reply, much apriciated.

I am running the standard Synology Media Server.

Will check for thumbnail settings.

For title I only see this behavior on the BubbleUPnp app. My DS audio or Raumfeld app show the track title as track only and not as file description.

It is impossible for me to chamge the file descriptions of all my Mp3 files on the Synology NAS.

Why are those other apps showing track title only?
[Android Apps and Games] fangthorn:
I've just retried and now it's working again.

I've had the paid application for quite some time. Only recently did I discover that it could play music from Google Music play. It's quite an interesting feature, except the next button doesn't appear to work. When a song is over it doesn't play the next in sequence either.

Am I doing something wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It seems some versions of dhclient open 2 additional random UDP ports (besides port 68) for which the purpose is unclear (you can Google it).

Maybe you got unlucky and it picked up port 1900 used for SSDP discovery.

Try restarting dhclient and check if it has picked a different port.

If that persists, a possiblity is a that its startup script starts it with option -p 1900, although I don't know why it would.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Send me a log file to the point the second song doesn't play (see first post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If you cannot see the log file on your PC, browse to it on your device with ES File Explorer and mail it from there.

Make sure to mail the log file just after recording it because it is overwritten on each app start.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I don't know. BubbleUPnP simply displays what your media server returns as title for tracks.

Maybe it sends different titles to different apps. Or the 2 apps you mentionned do not use UPnP to fetch data.

Or they do, but override UPnP metadata sent by your media server by reading the actual mp3 tags.
[Android Apps and Games] ghilou:
OK I just screwed up. It works perfectly, I just did not add the songs in the playlist correctly.

Sorry for that. Did I mention that playing music from Google play now is beyond awesome? The xbmc plugin for Google music just sucks.
[Android Apps and Games] jomcty:
Thanks for the insights. I Googled high-and-low for a way to disable dhclient's use of port 1900 to no avail. I generally use RH distros and it wasn't clear to me how to restart dhclient, so uptime be damned, I restarted the box and now port 1900 was free for use by bubbleupnpserver! :)

Perhaps this tip can be put in the FAQ section for future reference.

Coverart - wikipedia artist page

Hi Bubbleguum

First of all, many thanks for this wonderful, stable and well working application!

Is it possible to view other coverfiles than folder.jpg, wich is in the same directory as the music files?

I have - exept the folder.jpg - all my other coverfiles in a subdirectory of the musicfiles called "artwork". I think this is rather common, there are picturefiles of the backcover, Cd and the booklet, if available.

It would be very nice to see those files with BubbleUpnP, is this possible ?

Another good thing would be to get some artist or album information with wikipedia or last.fm.

Best Regards

Tap on item / back button / save lib position

Hi Bubbleguum,

as a long standing user I will would like to express all my compliments to this wonderful app. Many thanks! Best value for money ever!

Some little suggestions concerning general usability.

- The "Tap on item" already contains "do nothing"... so I only get the menu on long tap. I would like to have this also on short taps. Maybe it would be more flexible to have lnog/short tap actions configurable separately? I would e.g. enqueue on long tap and show the menu on short tap.

- The back button should be configurable not to exit the app. I often walk up the library and find myself on the Android launcher, because I tapped back to often. Could be solved e.g. by a confirmation box or a message "press back again to exit"

- The library position should be saveable. I often navigate the library and switch e.g. to the playlist... when I now go back to the library, I need to navigate all the way down to my last position.

Thanks again,

Diddle.

Cover in Lockscreen, Metadata and Language

Hello,

first of all I would like to thank you for this nice App. Worth every €ent :good:

However, I have three questions/bugs/suggestions:

1. Since my Nexus 7 (2013) is updated to 4.4, the lockscreen-widget is odd: the album cover uses the whole screen, not just the the square as it used to. (See attachement)

2. - and this is more of a question: How does BubbleUpnp get the name of the title/metadata? As you see in the screenshot, the title is just the filename, but the mp3 is completly tagged (ID3v1, ID3v2, ...). The rest of the metadata (album, artist, etc) ist just fine. Just the title is wrong. Is this a problem with the mediaserver (a AVM Fritz!box)? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

3. Can I change the language or do you need help translating to German?

Technical info:

Can't install licence

BubbleUPnP UPnP/DLNA works fine on my HTC One Mini. Now I have just bought the BubbleUPnP UPnP/DLNA License. I paid (Google Play) but unfortunatly I was not able to install the licence app.

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Sort of. If you browse using the Filesystem hierarchy (requires full version) you will see your images listed and can click on it to start the image viewer.

If you have the last.fm app installed, you will be able to launch it selecting "Last.fm..." in the context menu displayed by long-clicking the Now Playing cover, or any track in lists. The problem is that it doesn't display the artist bio anymore making it a bit useless...
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok.

The back button doesn't exit the app when you are at the top of the Library tab since it is also used to navigate back in folders, so I cannot see how you could exit the app from there using the back button. Anyway, I will not change the back button behaviour (it has been discussed before).

What you describe does not happen unless you exited the app with the back key at some point to exit the app (use the home key instead to not reset the UI).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. This is the new KitKat music lock screen widget

2. The metadata comes from the media server which does more or less of a good job at extracting it from tags (and sometimes not even readings tag, just using filenames). Media servers running on routers are most of the time not very good.

3. I'm not doing translations as there is way too much to translate and I add new strings regularly
