Thanks :)

Thanks a lot. Now BubbleUPNP works perfectly for me. :)

For those who also use minidlna I have attached a fixed version of upnpsoap.c (based on minidlna 1.0.26).

Album Artist and Track Artist will no longer be mixed up.

Just a short message to say that I'm currently on holiday until early July and I'm not actively monitoring this topic until it is over.

When it is over, I will sure address issues that are mentionned here.
[Android Apps and Games] Dreamweaver:
Have a great Holiday, bubbleguuum.

Before I forget a small question:

I have a Synology NAS DS1812+ running the Synology Media Server and BubbleUPnP Server and BubbleUPnP Android App.

If I open an Album-Folder of an Artist on my phone it shows me several folders with subfolders of their albums... Now I try to search but BubbleUPnP App tells me that my Server does not support Search over a whole libary. Is this a Server Issue (alternative MediaServer for Synology?) or what do I have to change?

Thanks for your help!

Auto-sync for Google Music

First things first: Thank you bubblegum for this great app. I use it on my Nexus Q with CM10.1 and it is a perfect replacement for Googles streaming features. Operating the Q from my tablet / phone via Bubbleupnp is very smooth and easy and there is only one little thing that I find missing: Auto-syncing.

ATM you have to go to settings and manually sync your library with Google Music. That's a bit of a hassle - especially if you have to VNC into your Q... Would it be possible to add a feature like "Auto-sync at start-up"? That would just be great!

Again - thank you for bringing my Q back to life with your app!

Hi People,

I would like to be able to play my HD Camcorder recordings (.m2ts) via Bubble from my home PC. I installed the Windows media player Codec pack and added the HD Camcorder folder to WMedia server so that they are visible in Buble, but when i try to play them there is an error reported:

Track xxxxxxxxx is not playable: no streaming url available (or unsupported protocol: null)

Anyone know if this is possible and if so how so.....thanx.

Synology problem

Hi,

Could someone tell me how to install BubbleUPNP server on a Synology DS410?

Everytime I try to install it I get the message JAVA_HOME is not defined.
[Android Apps and Games] winxi:
Hi, as the screenshot suggests, BubbleUPnP Server requires Java to be installed on your Synology. Got to http://pcloadletter.co.uk/2011/08/23/java-package-for-synology/ and follow the instructions there to install Java on your Synology.

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

Hi, unfortunately, the Synology Media Server does not support UPnP search. You can try Twonky, which has support for UPnP search.
[Android Apps and Games] Dreamweaver:
Thanks Winxi. Will try Twonky on Synology. Friday I tested Plex Media Server but this is a little bit too overloaded imo...

gervanl: yes like Winxi wrote... you have to install the Java Package he posted. And of course read the f. manual because you have to create a public folder for java Installation. Synology with intel processor also need Java 6, NOT 7. It took ~5 Minutes to install it.
[Android Apps and Games] MaVe_64:
Thanks for this great app! Is it possible to add an option to port the stream from TuneIn Radio, Xiia Live has far less radio stations than TuneIn.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Direct tunein integration is not possible (tunein does not respond to my requests for access to their API).

You can still play tunein via the web browser and save stream links in a BubbleUPnP saved playlist for later playback.

For details, in BubbleUPnP, look in Settings > About/Help > Tips > Interacting with other apps (there's a tunein section).
[Android Apps and Games] MaVe_64:
Thanks, I'll try that.

Synology DS410 problem

=============================================================================

As far as I know is that java is installed otherwise it would not be possible to use file station.

The link you have send me I know it and it is a headache to get it installed.

And as far as I know installing software in general on a Synology could sometimes be easy and sometimes a nightmare. I think that it depands on the chip used.

So if you have a step by step aproach for me for the DS410 I would be glad to have it.

Thanks[/COLOR]
[Android Apps and Games] mikesusangray:
I'm almost certain that this question has been asked and answered in the thread - but the search function has been down for a couple hours now ... so:

I've just started using BubleUPnP after a while away, installed on a new phone. The new phone has LOTS of storage space, so I just want to download my entire music library from my NAS and keep it in sync.

Now while the app has no problem accessing the Twonky server on my NAS, does it have any sync capability, or do I need to find a file sync app?
[Android Apps and Games] winxi:
The Synology file station does not require Java to be installed on the Synology, but BubbleUPnP Server does. You'll find a step by step guide to install Java on the Synology using the link from above under the section 'Instructions'. When you have a problem with one of these steps, please give a detailed description.

The main reason that the Java installation can not be fully automated is that Oracle does not allow redistrbuting the Java binaries. So there is currently no way around registering with Oracle and manually downloading the Java binaries if you want to use Java on the Synology.

Edit: I just noticed that the DS410 uses one of the older PowerPC CPUs. I fear that it is not possible to install Java on the DS410. So it is not possible to run BubbleUPnP Server on the Synology DS 410.

Having same issue with RETURN from Now Playing and active Playlist

First... I agree with everyone else that this app is GREAT! I'm even more impressed that someone is quickly addressing user concerns - even when the answer is NO.

I just starting using UPnP/DLNA media servers,renderers, and control points a few months ago so I'm still learning. So far, I'm just trying to find the best solutions for playing music from the comfort of my recliner or when on the road. I've settled on Asset UPnP as my preferred server, but also have Serviio. My renderer is a Sony BDP (580?). I am using a licensed copy of BubbleUPnP 1.6.11 on a HTC Evo 4G Slide running Android 2.3.4. I am currently at a few thousand tracks, more than 400 albums, and around a hundred album artists.

I don't know if I'm missing a setting somewhere. I've looked. I've gone through the forum for a few days until I found the post above that shares a concern of mine. As jcrabapple described, hitting the back button closes the app when in the Now Playing screen, as well as when in the enqueued Playlist (tracks that are enqueued). I know that I can go back to the library by just hitting the library button, but when on one of the other two screens it is natural to expect the return button to return you to the previous screen. Instead, the application closes. The good news is that restarting the app returns you to the Now Playing screen. The enqueued Playlist is also maintained. However, when accessing the library, you have to start back from the root of the library.

I would also prefer that hitting the return arrow would return one to the previous screen or at least to the previous location in the library.

RELATED ISSUE:

While it is true that SAVED playlists can be resorted, to my understanding, the enqueued Playlist cannot be resorted. I cannot grab a thumbnail or track name and move it up or down in the sequence, but would like to be able to do so as I'm listening to songs that I'm selecting on the fly.

Thanks....

Hi,

First of all, this seems to be a really great application! Right now I'm using the free version (Because I'm testing it to see if it works properly or not) but it seems really great!

I've done some research and it seems that this app is able (or should be able) to play music from the Google Music Cloud from your mobile device to any UPNP server. However, reading some of the comment's, this feature is now broken (verified it myself).

Do someone have any idea on when a fix can be expected? I already bought the license, so I can't wait to start using it! :D

Cheers

There's no synchronisation ability and I've yet to find an app that can actually sync a DLNA container (playlist, artist, genre etc.) myself. I asked a while back about it... but it's no small job.
[Android Apps and Games] mikesusangray:
Rats! I guess my best choice is going to be a file sync utility.

BTW, in the meantime I decided to try out HTC own sync program. It doesn't recognize folders on a NAS, but I used the mklink command to trick it and got it up and going. I thought it had the job done, but went I tried to play some music I realized that it had skiped more than half of the tracks.

Hi bubblegum,

Please could you advise me about this one.

Sent with desire from My One
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Adding codec pack in WMP is fine for local playback in WMP but does not carry over to UPnP.

At least this was my experience when I added FLAC in a codec pack. It did not work. It seems to be a WMP bug as it should'nt list these items with UPnP (or list them and make sure they are playable).

The error message you got means that although you could browse your m2ts items, WMP did not return a stream URL, hence

it cannot be played.

I'd switch to a media server able to handle m2ts. I think Twonky can do it but probably many others do as well.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What's currently broken is streaming of All Access tracks (error 403). Regular tracks should play fine.

This broke due to a recent Google Music change concerning AA tracks.

I'm working on a fix and hope to release it within a few days.

Its possible to add access to the external sdcard in the Filesystem???

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 4 Beta
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes if you have the licensed version of BubbleUPnP.

Add the mount point (eg, /mnt/extsdcard) where your additional sdcard is mounted in Settings > Local Media Server > Filesystem > Custom Mount Point 1.

Then this mount point will appear at the root of the local media server, in the Library tab.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP 1.6.11.1 is available, mostly a hotfix release to fix the All Access streaming issue.

1.6.11.1

fixed Google Music All Access tracks not playing anymore

fixed rare crash when retrieving Google Music playlists

fixed downloaded covers (when downloading an album) appearing in the Gallery app
[Android Apps and Games] Kroenen66:
Yes I have a licenz :)

Thanks for your quick reply.

Yeahhhh it works.

It`s possible to expand it from 2 to 4 Custom Mount Points in the next update?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'll see, but in the meantime you can set a mount point to / or /mnt, to have access to the root of your device or to folders under /mnt if all your mount points are under /mnt.
[Android Apps and Games] Kroenen66:
I'm stupid :D

OK thats is the transitional solution!

One Mount so extSD and one to USB OTG path.

Thanks!

Then let's wait for your next update :)
[Android Apps and Games] Dreamweaver:
Bubbleguuum is it possible to add the following..?

I browse somewhere in the library... Then I switch to now playing... When I press the back button (BubbleUPnP close to the background) there BubbleUPnP looses the directory where I were to browse files. This also happens in other menus like playlist. So I have to start browsing from root again. :rolleyes:

In fact, pressing the back button does not exit BubbleUPnP. However, these are good suggestions for improving usability. My suggestions would be:

1) Exit BubbleUPnP with double tapping the back button (like e.g. with ES file explorer). Now, the back button and the home button are quasi redundant, except when browsing a library. Hence, the double-tap-exit should work for the library tab only when being at the top level of a library.

2) It would be really nice if one could swipe left/right between the four tabs. This would involve changes for the now playing tab (give up to prev/next when swiping at the cover) and the playlist tab (e.g. select/deselect a track when tapping the album art instead of swiping from right to left).

3) Is there a special reason that volume control with the hardware buttons is not possible when being in the devices tab?
[Android Apps and Games] Dreamweaver:
Winxi I thought the same about the functionality of doubleclicking the back button :p

Also it would be great if the library remember his last browsing state :D

Btw I am using Synology Dlna media server and BubbleUPnP Server on my Intel nas - any suggestions for a better media Server with better search support? A friend of mine is totally overwhelmed with my directory structure which is very well known by myself :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] winxi:
The only Media Server I know with UPnP search support which can be run on some Synology NAS is Twonky. But there are no easily installable packages available and thus you need some linux knowledge to make it run. You can google and refer to the Synology forums, maybe you'll find installation instructions for your specific NAS.

Another good option to try for your NAS is MinimServer, which is a great Media Server just for audio. However, it doesn't yet provide UPnP search. But it is actively developed and UPnP search is likely to come in a future release.
[Android Apps and Games] Dreamweaver:
There is no package of Twonky for my Synology DS1812+. Linux Basics... okay but there is another important component: time. :mad: I see the best compromise IS the Synology Media Server for me because I also use it for Video. :o

Hi Bubbleguuum,

I'm encountering some problems with WMA->mp3 transcoding on BubbleUPnP server running on WindowsXP. My BubbleUPnP server is running on a freshly installed Windows XP notebook with my TwonkyMedia server and all my audio files (mostly lossless m4a but some non-DRM WMA as well) sitting on my NAS. And my BubbleUPnP client (licensed) is running on my Samsung Note II with the following setup for BubbleUPnP:

Mobile Max Bitrate : 256 Kbps

WiFi / Eth Max Bitrate : No transcoding

Lossless only : unchecked

When I'm listening to the m4a thru Internet streaming (4G), they all got transcoded to mp3 at 256K properly but when I listen to the WMA, nothing happens. The length of the WMA song is displayed in "Now Playing" and the status also says "MP3|256kbps|44.1kHz" but that's it, it doesn't get played at all, the player just stays at "0:00" forever. When I'm at home (i.e. on the same LAN, directly connected to the TwonkyMedia server), the WMAs can play fine. Looking into the logfile of BubbleUPnP server (BubbleUPnPServer.log.0), I found the following:

[qtp21044121-157 ] INFO - 21:21:02.438 - n : begin transcoding mp3 @ 256K...(192.168.1.103:9000/disk/NON-DLNA/O0$1$8I333067.m4a)

It seems the BubbleUPnP server cannot start the actual transcoding of WMA files, any idea? I've also tried upgrading ffmpeg to the latest version (git-ff130d7 (2013-06-30)) at zeranoe but still no luck.

Giving up on these features is a very tough call.

Tapping a track album art plays the track by default.

Swiping the track name selects/deselects it for playlist editing.

How about swiping on the tabs dock itself to switch between tabs?
[Android Apps and Games] winxi:
Hi, sorry for the misunderstanding. My suggestion was to select/deselect a track in the playlist tab with tapping the album art cover and to retain the 'item tap action' when tapping the track name.

Removing a track with swiping from left to right can also be retained, because this takes only effect when starting the swipe from the cover. When starting the swipe from the track name, this could then switch to another tab instead of doing a select/deselect.

Bubble Licence

I bought licence fo Bubble UPnP server. I have Bubble upnp installed on my tablet. Also I have Twonky server on Linux server.

Before upgrade to full version, it was possible to straem video content from Twonky server to tablet and use local renderer (usin MX Player as default local player for Bubble).

Now i got an error

"Bubble UPNP could be selected only for playing a video to en external rendere (ex. TV) from another app (ex. File manager).

But I set to play on local renderer! I dont know why can not play video locally (from Twonky to Bubble using MX Player)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. Not a fan of double tapping back for exit. BubbleUPnP behaves like any other app for back/home button behaviour except for the Library tab where back is overidden to navigate back in a folder.

- hitting the back button leave the app running in the background and will resume on the Now Playing screen (aka the default screen) when launching BubbleUPnP again (recent apps, app icon, ...)

- hitting the home button leave the app running in the background and will resume on the screen it was, when launching BubbleUPnP again

- menu > Exit fully exit the app (terminate the process cleanly)

2. Not possible without making huge changes, making the app ICS+ only and calling it BubbleUPnP 2.x

3. I'll look into it
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:

To play your Twonky videos on you android device, simply select Twonky as the server in BubbleUpnP in the Devices tab, then browse your videos in the Library tab and play the video from here (do *not* select BubbleUPnP in the video player popup chooser, select MX Player).

Selecting BubbleUPnP as the player is only valid when triggered from other apps (eg file mamanger, etc) to play to an external renderer.

issue with large images

Hi and thanks for this amazing app.

I'm using a asus tf300t running official JB 4.2.1 and reading medias from a Netgear NAS being a dlna server (local rendering).

When I try to load big pictures (DSLRs jpeg photos, around 6 megs) The app is unable to load the photos and giving an error message.

I think it is somehow a bubbleupnp problem because I'm able to open the same pictures with the Asus built-in media player (Asus mynet)

Also to mention that the problem is not happening with smaller pictures but the loading time seems to be much longer compared to mynet.

Don't know if it is a known issue or particular to me. I disabled resizing option (as not using bubble upnp server) and having same behaviour.

Do you plan to extend the functions for pictures stuff?

I mean video/music is amazing trough the app but picture wise it seems to miss a few options.
