30 min Audiocast limit?

I'm very happy with using licensed (verified) BubbleUPnP with Audiocast on my Android phone (Xperia Z2) and FireTV stick as renderer. Unfortunately Audiocast always stops after 30 min. Re-enabling Audiocast works fine, but that's quite annoying.. Do you have any suggestions how to solve this? Would a log file help?

Sorry if there was already a solution for this in the thread, but I didn't find any.
[Android Apps and Games] derchrome:
Hi guys, is it possible to stream Amazon prime music? Whenever I tried to cast I get an error message that is no valid stream...
[Android Apps and Games] Christendom...:
I'm also experiencing the same thing except on my Chromecast. When I play a movie from my Android to my Chromecast it stops playing after 30 mins. This has started recently after the last two updates.

I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this same problem?

I've been streaming extensively from the local media server from SD card over the Christmas break and I have been unable to reproduce the issue. Given the Moto X updated to Marshmallow shortly before Christmas, it may have been an Android bug that got fixed.

Disc/track number sorting (again)

Hi,

I have searched the thread and see several items related to the problem of track sorting not being able include the disc number when sorting as a limitation of UPnP not including the disc number in the metadata. There is a response that states that this needs to be handled by the media server to serve the tracks in the proper disc number/track number order which several servers do.

How come this does not work for the local media server then when it serves tracks off the local file system? Is this a limitation of the local media server which can be fixed by using a trackname which includes the disc/track numbers rather than using the metadata for sorting?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This is a limitation of the Android media scanner which doesn't extract the discnumber tag from files, thus BubbleUPnP (which uses its database) doesn't have this info.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Prime music is not possible. Amazon doesn't provide an API for third parties to access it. So you are stuck with Amazon apps.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
FireTV devices (with latest FireOS version, 5.1.1 I believe) is not compatible at all with Audio Cast. It will not play at all.

So I'm a bit puzzled about your message.

EDIT: maybe you run BubbleUPnP as a renderer on the FireTV and play to this renderer (instead of directly to the FireTV which doesn't work with Audio Cast as I mentionned above). In that Case BubbleUPnP on the FireTV is not licensed and the 30 minute limit apply. This cannot be solved unless sideloading Google Play and Google Play Services on it (I don't even know if this is possible, although it is on Fire tablets) and installing the license.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Could be your phone temporarily loosing WiFi connection, or Android putting WiFi in low performance mode although being told otherwise by the app.

Or root battery saving apps kicking it and messing stuff.

If you can reproduce it, please send me a log file, playing a video up to the point the problem happens (see first post of this topic for instructions).

For me it works with the fire tv, I can select it as a renderer.

http://pastebin.com/YbuZFEUZ

More details needed?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks. The log shows that it doesn't work because Amazon uses HLS audio for streaming (this is unusual) and Audio Cast doesn't support it (eg cannot decode it).

I'd have to use a ffmpeg based decoder to handle that, so no promise.

Hello,

First, thanks for the app. It is awesome. I play Tidal and Qobuz lossless without any issues. Second, Is there a way to remove a song from the lay list once it is over? I am aware of this feature in MPD as "Consume Mode".

I seem to be having an issue extracting some subtitles from mkv videos being played to Chromecast. The following error is displayed "bubbleupnp failed to extract embedded subs". I have a whole group of these videos from the same encoder. Some will work while others give this error. Perhaps it is just a formatting issue of the sub file on these particular files? Is there a debug log I can get to you?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There is no such option and I have currently no plan to add it.

[Android Apps and Games] schale01:
I'm actually running the linux client v0.9-update11

I recreated the issue and copied the log file at

/root/.bubbleupnpserver/BubbleUPnPServer.log.0

I also found after further investigation that the subs fail to extract when there is more than one subtitle track and one of these tracks is incompatible. The SRT track would normally work but the second incompatible track seems to cause all subs to fail. I removed the problem Vobsub track from one of the files to test and the standard SRT track was then able to be extracted without issue. The server seems to be taking an all or nothing approach and if one sub track is not compatible it throws them all out.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Image based subs are normally excluded from the extraction but sth didn't work here and a dvd_subtitle made it.

Can you give me the output of (if the URL is invalid, replace it with the file having the problematic subs):

Disable "Album Art" function

Hi BubbleUPnP Team!

First of all thank you for this great app ... I really enjoy it! Great Job!

I use the Android BubbleUPnP App to play music from my NAS.

Now I've got two questions:

1) I discovered that BubbleUPnP downloaded "Cover Art JPGs" and placed them in almost all the subfolders of my music library on the NAS.

But I do not need the Cover Art - and do not want BubbleUPnP to download it.

Can I disable this function?

2) Same goes for the "desktop.ini" files I found in many folders. These have some text like "...MusicBuyUrl..." and so on.

I do not need to buy some music from the same artist or so ...

Can I stop BubbleUPnP from creating those files?

Thanks for your help and happy new year!

best regards, Tom

BubbleUPnP with WD MyBookLive

Hi

I recently installed BubbleUPnP onto my Samsung Galaxy Tab and also my Experia Z3 in order to play my music via a new Chromecast Audio unit. Last week everything was fine - I could access the library on my WD MyBookLive 2TB NAS via Twonky. The songs that I listened to are still visible in the 'Recently Played' library but I can't access any of them and the WD device is no longer showing as a library in BubbleUPnP. The MyBookLive is still accessible via the network and I can play music via wi-fi on my laptop (phone/tablet using the WD app).

I'm really not very techy, but can anyone offer any help in layman's terms? It was all working so well last week...

Thanks

Samsung F Series not dispalying subs

Audio player background on chromecast

Hello, thank you for great app. I use it to stream video and music from NAS storage to our tv via prestigio tablet. I know you already said, you will be changing the background wallpaper of the audio player. But could you make it so user can set it, please? You may have different taste in images and it will save you the bother. Or add a possibility to switch it to just black - when I am listening to music, no one is watching the tv, so it will save some pixels lifetime and electricity bill. Please?

Qobuz playlist album view

Hi, I use Bubbleupnp as controlpoint between Pioneer streamer and Minimserver on a Nas. Streaming Qobuz is great! However it is difficult to keep track of all my favorite music on Qobuz.

In Bubbleupnp I can choose between Qobuz- favorite albums, favorite artists, favorite tracks and playlists. In favorite albums and favorite artists you can do a search on album level. That's good to keep track of the latest 10-20 favorites but not to keep track off all >100-1000 albums and artists I like. I would like to be able to view my favorite music by genre.

With Qobuz playists you can make your own catagories. However Bubbleupnp doesn't show playlist at the album level. A Qobuz playlist containing say 10 albums is not usable within Bubbleupnp. The pc bases Qobuz software does offer an album view of a playlist.

It would be great if you add the album view option to the Qobuz playlist view.

Happy 2016

disable thumbnails ?

I've got about 150,000 songs sorted into genres and subfolders (9,000 folders) on my synology ds211j. The diskstation has bubbleupnp and minimserver installed. When using my android tablet on wifi local LAN, browsing with bubbleupnp app is MUCH better than synology's app or anything else I've tried. It's fairly quick, but I would like to make it faster by inhibiting it from building thumbnails for folders. I don't see a way to turn that off in android's BubbleUPnP app. I just want to drill down as quickly as possible to individual albumns to listen to and have no use for the fancy artwork which takes some time to load.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's no setting to disable thumbnails. Thumbnail generation should not significantly slow things down unless maybe using a very old device.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Very few chance as it could require support HLS which is really a corner case and not trivial.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No plan for such feature (at least for now). The current categorization reflects the Qobuz API and Qobuz apps.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'll think about it (just an option for a black background).

But for music you would probably better served by a Chromecast Audio rather than a Chromecast Video that requires to keep the screen on.

However, Samsung 2015 TV remotes have a cool button that allow to switch off the screen while keeping any audio playing. I don't know if such

feature if often found on TVs.
[Android Apps and Games] matejmoravek:
Thanks, it will be great, even the black background. We got Chromecast video 2 for Christmas, we use it for videos too (or at least I am learning how to make it work), so I am just trying to find the easiest solution. It's not like it is playing all day afterall (in that case a laptop connected to hifi serves enough;)).

We have only rather old Grundig TV, pre-smart-devices era, so I doubt it has something similar.
[Android Apps and Games] gergev:
OK, thanks. I'm using a Moto E model XT1526 2nd gen and an LG 10.1 V700 with a netgear R7000 router. no other traffic.

Hi,

I have a problem with bubbleupnp and my sonology NAS!

If I install on my NAS the last version of bubbleupnp for synology, the application will not start (port open and 'user home services' enable).

Bubbleupnp on Android (last free version for the moment) see that my NAS can transcode video on my chromecast but video didn't load (everything is OK on bubbleupnp server page: server reachable and transcoding yes, and if I disable transcoding, video supported by chromecast load well).

If I use older version (from https://www.cphub.net/; version from 14/11/2014), the app start well on my NAS but the problem is the same: video didn't load.

Tested on 2 differents chromacast (first and second version), and with 2 differents android phone.

Java version installed on my NAS is jdk-7u80.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot for your help, and for your app (a really great app!!!) and sorry for my bad english :)

I am not sure if this has been brought up before but I am having some issues with renderers and libraries that I have hidden in the Devices tab. When I first start Bubble, sometimes it will still show some of the hidden renderers and libraries in the menu (accessed via the hamburger button on the upper left). I think this usually happens if the renderer or libraries that I have not hidden is not immediately available. Its inconvenient because sometimes I will have to select the correct renderer or library. Is this supposed to be this way? I would think that if I had selected to hide these in the Devices tab they wont show up at all. I only have 1 renderer and 3 libraries selected to show.

Guys I'm looking for some help. I want to know if I can cast through dlna with this app on my tv with subtitles? Should I move the subtitles to a different location for this to work?
[Android Apps and Games] SAZ318:
I purchased the B-UPNP app for an Android tablet to be able to Chromecast videos from my Synology (DS112j). I wanted to try to find a better video player than the DS Video. The Bubble app alone will not do this, as it does not have a video player (defaults to the android player that does not chromecast), so I am assuming that I needed to install also the BubbleUPnP server on the Synology. Fine. But when I try to do this, the app stops the instal process saying that I need to install the Java for Synology. I cannot find any java app to istall on Synology.

What Am I not understanding? Do I need to have the Bubble server installed on the Synology in order to Chromecast/use the Bubble video player? If not, why is it not functioning? If I do need to install the Bubble Server, can some one tell me how to activate java on Synology? There is no obvious available app to install.

Can I get a refund for my purchase if I cannot get this to work?? I feel like I have been sold a lie.

Thanks for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Working subs requires a good combination of media server / renderer to work.

You need a media server that expose subs. Serviio and Twonky are such media servers that expose external srt, but most media servers do not.

If BubbleUPnP recognize a subtitle sent by the media server for a particular video, it will show "<codec name>, subtiles" for that item.

For example: "MKV, subtitles".

Then you need a TV able to display subs via DLNA. Most Samsung TVs support it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You do not need BubbleUPnP Server for Chromecast unless you want to use it to transcode videos not supported natively by Chromecast.

In the top side menu of the app, you should select your Chromecast in the "Renderers" section. Then play you movie and

it will play to your Chromecast. From your description it seems you played to the "Local renderer" which is for local Android playback.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Do you still have the "Devices" tab enabled ? Device filtering will be disabled without it.
[Android Apps and Games] Kapsville:
Hi, i like this App very much. Keep it up!
[Android Apps and Games] tboooe:
Yes, devices tab is enabled. The renderers and libraries that are still being shown are Sonos devices on my network. I have disabled all if them in the Devices tab.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
OK. This issue should not happen (not able to reprod it) unless a renderer or media server doesn't have a stable UDN (unique identifer) between restarts.

You can check the UDN of a device 'with 3-dot menu > Info' on the device. Try to restart/reboot a problematic device and check if the UDN changes (if it does it is a bug of this device).
[Android Apps and Games] SAZ318:
Thanks Mate! Indeed, it works now with the simple choice of Renderer. Did not catch that.

I wanted to try Bubble because the DS Video , while functional, is a bit slow and does not have the seeking function that Bubble has.

Also, as you point out, there are a few file formats that do not work with the Chromecast/DS combo. Bubble may solve that.

Thanks again.
