It's not happening just at the end of the track, it's happening all throughout the track multiple times from beginning to end.
[Android Apps and Games] AndyHazz:
Ok, that makes sense ...

If I disable transcoding, I can now drag drag the playback marker to seek (it doesn't lock me out from trying like before), but it still just jumps back to where it was when I release. Is there a way to get seek working on streamed videos without transcoding?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Normally it should work. I vaguely remember Kodi/XBMC being buggy with seeking with the behaviour you describe, thus a Kodi bug.

If you try any other media server streaming untranscoded videos, it should work properly (try Serviio).

How do i stop my SHield TV SERVER!!!! from sending video to my PC server to trans-code for chrome cast.... my shield tv handles trans-codding just fine and I can free up the PC server for other devices, In fact it does a better job then the PC it runs at 20% cpu on the Shield tv if i turn the PC off ..... but it will ruun my PC to 40% cpu when it is on.... is there an option to Force Local trans-code when cassting to chromecast..... SO SICK of this thing taking over my PC server.... I need to have 2 servers I have kids that wanna watch diffrent stuff in diffrent rooms. How do i make it FORCE LOCAL TRANSCODDING and NOT send it to PC Server.....

First off, bubbleguuum, I just want to say that BubbleUPnP is a freaking miracle. I've bought the license key on Google Play just today. I was having so many weird issues with Plex and my Raspberry Pi NAS with OpenELEC that BubbleUPnP has managed to solve. I'm able to send both my personal music library and Google Play Music to both my DAC and receiver with ease. Two issues I'm having, though:

1) Remote internet access from the BubbleUPnP app times out on Android, whereas in foobar2000 it seems to work fine. Any reason why one might be different than the other?

2) My Chromecast Audio is a bit redundant in my setup now, but what I've noticed is that at least via Foobar on Windows, anything that is high-res is still downsampled to 16/48 when casted via DLNA?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Simply uninstall BubbleUPnP Server on your PC ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. is it a timeout for connecting or something else ? make sure the connection URL is correct: http://<public_ip>:58050

2. not enough details to give you answer. Media Server used ? remotely streaming via BubbleUPnP Server ? etc.
[Android Apps and Games] Globel:
I like to run more then 1 server.....
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can disable Chromecast transcoding support by editing configuration.xml (in install directory), setting disableChromecastSupport to true, and restart the server.

Gapless playing

I have a Pioneer N50 that does gapless playing. I can successfully use it gaplessly with the Pioneer control app in conjunction with Asset UPnP, but when I replace the Pioneer control app with BubbleUPnP I can't get gapless playing, even though I've enabled gapless in the settings. I'd be grateful for any pointers
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
In BubbleUPnP, you must enable Settings > UPnP Tweaks > Gapless control.

This is not a guarantee that it will work. For it to work, this renderer has to support gapless playback via UPnP, and not be buggy with it.

It is very well possible the Pioneer app controls this renderer not using UPnP.
[Android Apps and Games] AndyHazz:
I have serviio setup now, same problem when accessing through bubbleupnp though :(

However, serviio and the serviigo app works well for my use case (without bubbleupnp), I guess I was using the wrong tool for the job :confused:

Thanks for pointing out serviio, I'd never heard of it before!

I'll probably still use bubbleupnp for local access to media, as it works well without needing my desktop PC to be on.

Hello all !

Sorry I can't find the answer using the search, but how can I get the full version if I don't have Google Play ?

I can't and don't want to use any Google service on my phone, can I still pay the 4 € somehow and get the licensed version ?

Thank you in advance,
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If you have an Amazon account, you can install the Amazon store (Amazon underground), install BubbleUPnP from there and purchase it in-app via an Amazon IAP.

You will need to keep the Amazon Underground app installed to run BubbleUPnP licensed via the IAP.
[Android Apps and Games] nicop91:
Erf.. Isn't there a way to pay... Without giving up on privacy ? I know it's a pain, but the very model of the amazon app store is the one I am trying to escape from with Google...

I hope there is another way...

Hi All,

Is anyone experiencing seeking issues on mkv's when casting to Chromecast. The problem is only on mkv's.

When seeked to a specific time on the video, it continues from the time seeked on the app itself, but the video is playing from the start on Chromecast and somehow the subtitles are also seeked to that specific timing.

Thanks in advance.

Problem with Qobuz Sublime

With the most recent update to bubbleupnp I can no longer stream hi-res purchases from Qobuz, despite having a Qobuz Sublime account. Both the bubbleupnp server and the app are set to allow streaming up to 192Hz 24 bit - but when I stream a hi-res purchase it only comes up as 44/16. If I stream the same file from a minimserver, then the renderer plays hi-res. I've found this problem both using the app on Android N beta on a Nexus 9, and Android 4.4 using AndyOS; and I have the problem on two different media renderers - JRiver Media Centre (running on Windows 10) and a Sony STR-DN1050. I've succeeded in playing hi-res purchases as hi-res in the past. Not sure if it is the app or the server; but given that the server hasn't been updated since April and this is a v recent issue, I'd imagine that it must be the app

Bubble UPnP doesn't work with Google Music Subscription

Hello. I use Bubble UPnP with Renderer network DAC. Successfully listen to Qobuz. But I can't use Google Music. Can only listen to tracks I already purchased in the Google Play. Listen to SUBSCRIPTION the entire database (35 million tracks) I can't. I'm doing something wrong??? Or Bubble UPnP is not an option. If so, why? and when will it appear?

If I open the Google Music app on this smartphone - without problems listen to all 35 million tracks, but Google Music app doesn't work with Renderer network DAC. So I bought Bubble UPnP but it is such a problem. Please help me! :crying:

I got my Chromecast running as a DLNA device in BubbleUPnP server. However, when I try to play a file, it doesn't work.

The player starts, but after 1 second, the track restarts. This keeps going.

What could be wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] Budgie2:
Hi I am trying to sort out gapless audio playback. Music files are being served by minimserver on NAS and I am using BubbleUPnP on Samsung S6 as control point. The intended renderer is a Raspberry Pi running openELEC (Kodi) with IQAudio Pi-DAC+ but so far no luck with gapless playback.

As part of my trying to solve this I tried using BubbleUPnP to play on Local Renderer (MXPlayer) on the phone. I hoped this would play gaplessly but it does not. So what should I do to get these renderers to play gaplessly please? Priority is Kodi but if there is another player I can run on RPi which solves the problem please advise.

Hi,

Sorry if the exact situation has already been discussed here, but i didn't find.

When i'm using 3g/4G, i can't access my Synology media library. Using wifi (at least at my home; didn't try it elsewhere) it works flawlessly. Is this problem with BubbleUPNP or with Synology?

Thanks

I am using a Oneplus 3 with latest bubbleupnp and asset upnp server. For playback I use a Dynaudio renderer (with active Dynaudio speakers). The problem is that playback advance to next song does not work. After one song the music stops and I have to select the next song manually. I tried enable/disable gapless playback but no change.

When I use the same server but playback to bluetooth (inside my car) it is working fine.

What can I try to ensure song advance will start working?

Make sure 'Settings > UPnP Tweaks > Use Eventing' is disabled (it is disabled by default)

If you still have this issue please send me a log file playing a track up to the point next track in Playlist does not play. See first post of this topic for logging instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The only way to access your Synology DLNA media server from remote networks is through BubbleUPnP Server (that you can install on your Synology). Then in Android BubbleUPnP you connect to BubbleUPnP Server (as explained in documentation) which in turn will make your Syno media server appears as a Library.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Working gapless needs a renderer with specific gapless support. You also need to enable gapless control in BubbleUPnP (in Settings > UPnP Tweaks > Enabled gapless control. Do not enable it if you do not have a gapless renderer). Kodi as renderer does not support gapless.

On the Rpi, I recommend upmpdcli. It is an excellent renderer (supporting OpenHome) with gapless support.

I did a reset of the Dynaudio renderer and it seems to work now. When I get into the same stat I will make a log file.

Hi bubbleguuum, I now have upmpdcli installed on raspbian on RPi3 with Pi-DAC+ and playing gaplessly (brilliantly) as you advised. Getting this far took me a while however I am not quite there yet and seek help with three issues:-

How to get upmpdcli to run on startup. I presently start it in a terminal with command

upmpdcli -D -c /etc/upmpdcli.conf

I have tried setting the logfilename to several locations including /home/pi/.upmpdcli/logs/upmpdcli.log but always get errno 13 so no log is written. How should I correct this please?

I can control what plays using BubbleUPnP but not volume. How do I make it so that I can control volume.

Grateful for any and all assistance you can give.

turning it off and on again

Many thanks! Since posting, I found a solution, at least of sorts. Restarting the bubbleupnp server had not helped with the issue, but for other reasons I had had to restart the machine the server was running on (Windows 10 Pro) and that cleared away the problem. Perhaps a problem with the java stack.

Thanks again for the response, and for the really useful software.

every time i start bubbleupnp i have to change the renderer to my receiver and enable audio cast manually. after starting bubble there is the message "wating for previous renderer", but it doesn't connect to the renderer i've used before (which is the receiver). i want to automate that with tasker and nfc. after reading the nfc button and before starting bubble tasker waits 60sec, so that there is enough time for teh receiver to start and connect to my network.

Is ASUS RT-AC87u router able to transcode?

Hi [MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION]

I'm still a fan of your solutions and have been using these for many months and years now (paid).

Recently i bought a asus RT-AC87U router, which has a dual core 1GHz CPU (installed Merlin on it). I installed BubbleUPnpServer trough optware, including minidlna (disabled stock minidlna).

I have movies on a Synology DS-207J (wired 1000mbit lan) and on an USB2.0 drive directly attached to the Asus.

I was hoping that this device was able to transcode my movies to chromecast (video encoding speed = Ultrafast) but unfortunatly it doesn't.

When transcoding the CPU constantly hits between 80~90% (using top-command).

After pausing the movie for a few seconds or more then for a little while the payback is flawless again.

To solve this I tried various combination with bandwidth (5000, 2000, etc. like your saying in troubleshoot FAQ).

Also tried to disable minidlna to free up resources on the Asus, but it doesn't help either. All-in-all I guess it isn't a bandwith issue.

I find a bit strange that my 8(?) year old acer aspire one netbook (1.6GHz N270 Intel Atom cpu with WinXP) is able to do transcoding, and a modern dual core 1GHz isn't.

So maybe i am doing someting wrong here? Should i try some ffmpeg setting for dual core or is the router simply not strong enough to transcode to Chromecast.

Best regards,

UltimateGeppie

Question about "Local Media Library"

It doesn't appear to be handling mp3 idt tags properly. If I have an album on my phone, for example Back In Black, and they all have the genre "Hard Rock" but a few of them also have the genre "Hits", if I go to the library-->Music-->genre-->Hits-->Back in Black, all the songs appear, not just the few songs that are actually labeled "Hits"

Why is that, it works properly from a DLNA server, for example my foobar server and if I use the native "Music" app from Samsung, they are listed properly!!!!

This is literally one of the reasons I paid for the app two years, it worked well locally, has something changed?

Turn off/modify media server

Is there a way to turn off the media server function in Bubbleupnp. In other words, when I use the app it doesn't turn on it's own media server that is browseable on my home network. I only use bubbleupnp to play media off of other media servers I already have setup on my home networked PCs when home and when away from home use it to play play local music stored on my phone (local media server).

Also is there a way to modify the local media server tree. For example in foober you can modify an .xml file that is responsible for how the media server tree is displayed. Is there something like that for Bubbleupnp or is it hard-coded int the program files?

Thanks

Ben
[Android Apps and Games] Ultimategeppie:
Did you look in the settings? You can disable local mediaserver in settings--> local media server. First option is to disable it. Be aware that you also disable the possibility to use Cloud servers.

In the same settings page you can select the content you wish to see. You can also make local mount points and giove them a name.

But since these are the (obvious) settings I might be misinterpreting your question.

BubbleUPnP does not control volume on this headless renderer.

I am running upmpdcli + mpd with alsa mixer and Pi-DAC+ sound card.

I can control what is played and this plays but at fixed volume. "50" is shown in BubbleUPnP screen. I know there will be a setting in a conf file which I have wrong but which and what should it be. The choice is vast. I have tried a few but really need some help please.
[Android Apps and Games] bmcelvan:
Thanks for reply, I don't want to disable the local media server as then I won't be able to use it on the phone either but I just noticed the setting "Advertise on LAN". Somehow I missed that one and I think that will do exactly what I wanted, remove the phone media server from populating on my home network.

In regards to the content, I see the "android media library" option and inside that it just has the options of what media type to display.

What I'm looking for is how that media is displayed/categorized. For example (so this post isn't huge I'm inserting a link to a picture):

http://www.uvm.edu/~bmcelvan/docs/foo_upnp_ml_tree.xml.jpg

I'm assuming these settings are "locked" inside the program or the android media library?

Can you choose a different media library to use than the "android media library"?

Thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] Budgie2:
Solved, I now have the mpd.conf settings as follows:-

audio_output

{
type	“alsa"

name	“Output"

device	"hw:0,0”

mixer_control	“Digital"

mixer_device	"hw:0”

mixer_index	"0"

}

For others that have similar problem.

New minor problem with BubbleUPnP behaviour when controlling RPi with Pi-DAC+.

If I select music to play from library for the playlist and then go to the now playing screen and touch the play arrow it does not start to play. I have to select a track from the playlist first. Once started I can pause, stop and start as usual.

This is different from BubbleDS when the play arrow starts playing the first item in the playlist. Is this difference intended or a blip in my setup?

Tidal Error 500

Since a couple of weeks a noticed the same behaviour for Tidal typically with the following scenarios:

1. randomly when playing a longer play list (>20 tracks)

2. when trying to resume a playlist after having stopped it for a longer period of time (>15-30mins)

It wouldn't be a big deal if in case of this error just to play the next track whithout user interaction - which I have to do either by unlocking the smartphone and push the "next track button".

Not a big deal just a bit more comfort. I will also approach the Tidal support maybe there is something they can support.

[MENTION=3457942]Ultimategeppie[/MENTION]

This router has an ARM Cortex A9 CPU, whose performance is not comparable to an Intel CPU, even old.

It is more comparable to cpu used on old smartphones. So far from being fast enough to transcode videos (OK for audio, including audio in videos).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=6880541]bmcelvan[/MENTION]

Nothing changed. The 'Music > Genre' folders are populated from the Android media database populated by Android extracting all the tags.

If your mp3 have multiple genre tags, I doubt the Android media scanner support these and may only see the first tag.

It could also be Android version dependent.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=5432120]thepipespecialist[/MENTION]

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=6880541]bmcelvan[/MENTION]

You cannot have the same fine tuning control over the browse tree than foo_upnp (and other media servers) provide.

You can simply exclude some root folders (cloud and local media categories) with the settings found in Settings > Local Media Server.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thank you for letting us know the solution to this issue. May be useful in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I will see if BubbleUPnP can simply discard such unplayable tracks so they are not added to the Playlist tab when you add a compilation album or an album with such tracks.

I do not want to add automatic playback of next track in case of failure to play current track, as it comes with its own problems (inifinite failure loop among others).

[MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION] Please could you add the one feature that is missing to make this a killer audio app? Samba/CIFS support? Please try to make it. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No plan for Samba/CIFS. It is less efficient than UPnP/DLNA as it requires proxying (for playing to external renderers).

If you still want to use it, you can do so using ES File Explorer and sending items from there to BubbleUPnP.

I have been using BubbleUPnP for a long time to cast videos from my PC to my TV and it's been great!

I recently bought a projector and have been casting to it with my Chromecast, but the audio comes out of the projector which isn't that great.

I have some Logitech 5.1 PC speakers and wanted to check if there is a way to connect an audio Chromecast to my speakers and a normal Chromecast to my projector so that the audio/video is split and the video plays through the projector and the audio through the speakers and they're in sync.

I've had a Google search, but haven't found any answers. I see there is a way to sync audio Chromecasts together into a group to do multiroom, but they don't connect to a normal Chromecast.

Please let me know if there is a solution to this (hopefully through BubbleUPnP or maybe some other software/service if not).
[Android Apps and Games] thepipespecialist:
Well actually, the issue is both on mkv requiring transcoding and not. It is even happening with the bubbleupnp server running on network or without. Simply, on every case.
