Bubble UPNP repeats almost every second song on playing to renderer

Hi all,

Firstly, thanks to the devs, ... it mostly works great for me! ;)

However, i've got (and i've noticed another comment on google play regarding the same problem) an issue with songs in a playlist randomly repeating.

That is, I am playing to a renderer on my local network (a receiver).

I haven't yet checked to see if playing locally will result in the same repeating. I will check that and update this post with the results.

For example, I make a brand-new clean playlist (clear all existing songs) .... and a bunch of songs..... and play.

First song plays.

Second song probably plays

Second song will probably repeat

then I have to skip it..

third song plays

maybe the fourth song plays...

will repeat again at least by the fifth song.

it is getting quite annoying. I can't just leave it to play.

Anyone else had the same problem? Is it a known bug? Is it scheduled to be fixed? Who can I report the bug to? Where?

What kind of information should I provide when reporting, and how do I manage to get it (i.e, debug info??)

On Huawei P6-U06

Android version 4.2.2

Kernel version 3.0.8-00780-g62cb956

thanks!!

To what renderer are you playing to ?

This is a known issue hapening with some renderers (Naim in particular) with gapless control enabled. It happens when the renderer becomes temporary unresponsive (due to an unknown renderer issue) with the consequence of having a track that repeats.

I somewhat workarounded this issue for the next update but in the meantime you can fix it by disabling gapless control in Settings > UPnP Tweaks > Enable gapless control. Of course any gapless album will now play with gaps, but tracks will not repeat.

Stream videos on Win7 via internet

Hi,

Is there a Windows application that can be used in combo with BubbleUPnP-Server to stream videos (similar to foobar200 for music) when I am not in my home network?

Thx,

zavjah
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Probably WiFi bandwidth issue if playing a highres video (1080p) or bad WiFi reception. If your Xbox is connected through WiFi this is even worse.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Try to disable WiFi optimization on one or both devices, in the phone settings > WiFi > 3 dots menu > Advanced > WiFi Optimization.

If that doesn't work, send me a log file up to the point the problem happens on the controlling device (see first post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
foobar2000 can be used for that, to connect to BubbleUPnP Server and browse all the media servers it exposes and using VLC for playback. See BubbleUPnP Server documentation on this topic.

Another solution is to use the BubbleUPnP Server Tether Client (See BubbleUPnP Server documentation page) on the remote network and use any UPnP Control Point for playback (XBMC for example).
[Android Apps and Games] zavjah:
Hello bubbleguum,

I use foobar2000 for music and it works great. But the UPnP-ControlPoint shows only the content of the DLNA music folder and not the others such as video!

[IMG="foobar_upnp-controlpoint"]http://hajvazovic.de/diverse/foobar2000.jpg[/IMG]

Did I miss some settings? My Android client shows the video and photo folder normally.

thx,

zavjah
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
For video you need a media server able to handle videos such as Serviio. Then it will be listed under the 'BubbleUPnP Server' node.
[Android Apps and Games] zavjah:
Hi bubbleguum,

I am using the mediaserver of my synology, which handles videos as well. It works fine with my android client:

[IMG="bubbleupnp_android.png"]http://www.hajvazovic.de/diverse/bubbleupnp_android.png[/IMG]

I am also able to stream those videos to my android BubbleUPnP-Client within my own network but also via internet.

In foobar2000 I do not see other DLNA folders neither in my own network nor over internet.

Thx,

zavjah

bubble with synology

Yesterday I wanted to play a playlist that I've used a lot before. However, I keep getting SetAVtransporturi failed (code 716).

After a lot of fussing about. I have learned that this could be because of my synology media server. It possibly has reindexed songs for some reason and now all my playlists don't work no more :(

My question now is how can I prevent this? Do people here use synology NAS? How do they deal with this issue? Do you guys use another media server than the standard one?

Please let me know if you have some ideas about this.

Edit: What the media server does rigt is play m3u files. If there was a way to create m3u files stored on the NAS by bubble, that would work better than virtual playlist folder. It would also work across different devices.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Normally in that foobar2000 screenshot you posted, under the "BubbleUPnP Server" tree node, are listed all the media servers managed by the BubbleUPnP Server instance you connected to, and that are listed in the "Media Servers" tab in BubbleUPnP Server web configuration (and for which "Make this Media Server available in BubbleUPnP for Android and foobar2000 for Internet access" is enabled, which is the default).

If your Synology Media Server is listed in that "Media Servers" tab, it should appear in foobar2000 under the "BubbleUPnP Server" tree node, assuming you connected to the correct BubbleUPnP Server instance (the one managing your home media servers).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The problem is that many media servers change stream URLs when doing a rescan or reindex.

This is incompatible with "Saved Playlist" as items either will not play (stored URL not valid anymore) or the stream URL will point to a different item.

There's no way around it except using a media server that preserve stream URLs on rescan. MinimServer is such server, only for music.

Unfortunately, there's no way for BubbleUPnP to edit these m3u.
[Android Apps and Games] FF666:
Thanks for the reply. I will look into MinimServer. I only use bubble for music.

edit: Installed it. Looks nice and simple. Already very happy with the search library function!

renderer

Hi , thanks very much for the reply. The work-around definitely helps :)

So, it looks like mine is another one of those troublesome renderers. You just can't trust that firmware, no matter how prestigeous the brand!

I've got a Pioneer VSX-S510

Otherwise, so far, a nice enough device.

Hello bubbleguum,

My Synology media server appears normally in the "media server" tab:

[IMG="mediaservers"]http://hajvazovic.de/diverse/mediaservers.jpg[/IMG]

I am connected to the same server as in my android bubblyUPnP-Client. Settings are the same. foobar2000 though doesn't show video and photo folders.

Is there a setting/component in foobar2000 I need for this? It is strange that even when I am in my local network and I connect foobar2000 directly to my server it doesn't shows other two, just purely music folder.

Any Ideas?

thx,

[APP][4.0+][v2.1.1.1] BubbleUPnP - UPnP/DLNA/Chromecast Control Point and Ren...

Hello. I have problem with Google Music streaming from BubbleUPnP to foobar2000 renderer. Playback is OK but track seeking is time consuming. It is problem especially for very long tracks. It spends 20 and more seconds. Skipping to another track is without problem. Problem disappears with local renderer. When I am using Android Google Music app for playback to foobar2000 renderer via BubbleUPnP Audio Cast there is no problem with track seeking. Can you help me with this problem? Thanks in advance.

BubbleUPnP good on PS3, not on Bravia

I have various Android devices running BubbleUPnP. My current model Bravia TV sees the BubbleUPnP servers on those devices, but reports no files present. But the PS3 console connected to the TV sees the servers and the files just fine and plays them.

It would be more convenient to play the files direct on the TV rather than having to start up the PS3 - is there a simple explanation why the Bravia cannot see the files? I searched the thread for "Bravia" but couldn't see anything relevant.

Thanks for any advice.
[Android Apps and Games] stargate125645:
Well, if manually extracting the the thumbnail tags isn't something on your list, would it be possible to look into the FireTV Stick as a platform for this application?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If you do not see the same folders browsing the Synology in Android BubbleUPNP and foobar2000 then the Synology probably returns different folder hierarchies depending on the browsing device. I'm not familiar with the Synlogy media server configuration, but look if you can find anything concerning setting browse trees per device. For example, Twonky has such settings.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If the Bravia has different submenus for media like the PS3 (Videos, Photos, Music) make sure to browse BubbleUPnP in the correct category for the media you want to access.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
FireTV is not available in my country.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What media server are you using ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The problem has to do with how foobar2000 seeks in mp3. It does sample accurate seeking which requires reading all the file up to the final seek position. It's ok for local files (fast enough) but dead slow for streams.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Great, thanks for letting me know that it works.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Good news: LPCM streaming has been fixed in the next Kodi beta, which will make Audio Cast work much better with Kodi.
[Android Apps and Games] klapaciuss:
It would be logical explanation but why problem disappears when streaming to foobar renderer is controlled directly by Google Music app via BubbleUPnP Audio Cast?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Because its' Google Music (Android) doing the seeking and foobar2000 just plays a continuous PCM stream and never perform seeking.
[Android Apps and Games] klapaciuss:
Thanks for your answer.
[Android Apps and Games] Ozpeter:
Thanks. It has a dropdown to select Video Photo or Music, plus "All", but shows nothing at the top level - including if set to "All" - unless I select "Music" when it does show the music files. The Bravia works fine with Serviio and Asset servers.

I guess it must be some sort of local issue as I can't find others reporting similar difficulties, and the Bravia TVs are pretty common. I've tried rebooting all the devices and network components involved with no result. But it can't be a physical network problem as the PS3 sees the BubbleUPnP folders and files just fine (and it's wired to the same network interface as the TV). Weird.
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
I have tried windows sharing and bubble server. There are 15 other similar files in this folder that work. Any suggestions on what could be different? All the sharing permissions are correct.
[Android Apps and Games] stargate125645:
It is the stick I am talking about, which is different than FireTV. It should work anywhere. It is basically an Android HDMI stick but the Android UI is modified by amazon. If you cannot buy it yet, surely there is a way to make the application available on the FireTV Stick apps list. If it doesn't work right off the bat, I can wait for it to be available for you to buy.

BubbleUPnp with Nexus Player

The app doesn't show up in the Nexus Player's version of the Play Store, but the app can be installed to the Nexus Player through the web version of the Play Store.

-No issues installing the app, running the app or from streaming to the Nexus Player

When closing the app, the app hangs before finally getting back to the Home page. But, after getting to the Home page after closing BubbleUPnP causes the Recommendations to fail. The only way to get Recommendations back is to unplug the Nexus player to reboot it.

I've cleared data and cache for the app as well as disabled notifications - nothing works to alleviate this issue and it only happens with this app and only after having used it and closing it to the Home screen.

First pic is prior to running the app.

Second pic is right after closing the app and returned to Home screen.

Third pic is how the recommendations end up after using the app.

Hello bubbleguum,

Thx for the hint. In fact, there is a setting section where media server displays known devices and assigns them known devices profile. foobar2000 as also listed there with a profile called "foobar2000". I have changed the profle to "generic DLNA" and vouila, all folders are accessible via foobar2000 :)!

thx a lot,

_googlecast._tcp.local: type PTR, class IN, "QM" question

I think I'm having wakelock issues directly attributable to the above. They're showing up on my network at a rate of 3 every 15 seconds (approx) when the service is running and appear to be causing our other devices' batteries to take a pretty big hit.

I stop BubbleUPnP running, the queries and wakelocks disappear.

Is there anything I can do to reduce the amount/frequency of these mDNS queries without stopping the BubbleUPnP service completely?

Thanks

Transcode only to some renderers

Hello,

BubbleUPnP Server is magical. Thanks to it I can now use XBMC to play songs and control it through multiple devices with proper OpenHome playlist features. And I can also treat my Sonos as a normal OpenHome renderer also. Thanks!

One thing would make it perfect, though:

While XMBC can handle HD FLAC, the Sonos can only handle normal 44-16 files. So it won't play any of my HD FLACs.

The "transcode high-res audio to 44.1/16 or 48/16 FLAC" is currently a global setting.... but It would be great if it could be configured per renderer.

I just want it to transcode for Sonos, but I still want to play the original HD files through XBMC.

Thanks again!

Regards,

Nuno

Audiocast - query

Hi Dev,

Query regarding Audiocast - There are few apps which use root to control audio of other apps. Will it be better (by better i mean in controlling audio quality , buffering) if we use root method rather than xposed to capture audio of other apps, is it possible with BubbleUpNp ?Xposed is not supported with ART but if root method is used then we can use BubbleUpNp with new devices also!!

Second query is regarding repeat of track. I am using BubbleUpNp on 2 of my devices. One act as renderer. When I start audiocast and suddenly if I exit the app from client side , the renderer starts playing the last song that was played without audiocast. Any idea how I can control this behaviour!!

aac+ streams

Good morning,

maybe I should post my setup first:

android 4.1.1 (Mobistel Cynus T2 | not rooted)

bubbleupnp 2.1.2

renderer: BRAVIA KDL-42W805A - connected to a Yamaha YHT-S401 system

shoutcast via XiiaLive Pro v3.2.0.8

unfortunately I'm not able to stream aac+ radio stations/streams to my A/V setup and there is no difference between turning "Force Shoutcast proxy" on or off... it just won't stream. Standard mpeg streams work flawless.

What else do you need to point me into the right direction? What could I have missed?

Any help is appreciated, thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It' just that your TV doesn't support AAC+. There no way around it and a lot of renderers do not support AAC+ (not even Android has a stock codec for it!). mp3 streams are almost universally supported. Check if XiiaLive let you choose a mp3 stream for the station you want to play.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The pure root method requires messing with native system libraries which is ROM/device specific. No plan to switch Audio Cast to that ever. We can only hope Xposed will exist on Lollipop at some point.

Will look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thank you for the feedback. That "transcode high-res audio" was meant to reduce bandwidth when connecting remotely. I can see you found another use :).

No plan to make this setting per renderer. One solution is to use a dedicated media server instance (for example MinimServer) configured to transcode and that you would use with the Sonos only.
[Android Apps and Games] Sill_K:
that's what I did so far...

wow, would never thought that Sony TVs don't support aac+ streams :eek:

Hello there. I have just switched from S4 i9505 to Moto X XT1097. When using S4, I could easily stream videos with SRT from my device to my Samsung SmartTV. Im missing this feature on Moto X. I always used BubbleUPnP with music, but these days I've been trying to stream some episodes downloaded on my cel phone with external subtitles (srt) and the subtitles just not show when playing on the SmartTV. Bubbleupnp says that subtitles are there: e.g. Subtitlrs (local) or MP4, subtitles.

BubbleUPNP audio on Androud?

Hi,

Is there any option in the BubbleUPNP app which will allow me to listen to the audio of the file being played from the android phone/tablet itself, while the video is casted on my tv? Right now, both the Video and the audio cone from the TV/PS3 etc, to which they are being atreaned. Or is their any other app which I can use for the purpose? I have the paid version of the app. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No there is not. What you ask is not technically possible without manual syncing audio with video each time you would play something (or seek), which would be super painful.
[Android Apps and Games] gabsmb:
First of all, thanks for your support. I didnt make my self clear. On S4, I used Samsung AllShare, not BubbleUPnP. Since I switched phones, I started using BubbluUPnP on Moto X, but I could not stream to my Samsung SmartTV videos with external srt subtitles.

Hey guys. I hate to bring up Tunein again, but I have a question about this latest update. The first line says "added ability to play TuneIn streams by sharing a station web page (tunein.com) to BubbleUPnP from web browsers. The extracted station item added to the Playlist tab can be added to a Saved Playlist for easier later playback." I get a lot of what this is saying. If you go to tunein.com and look up one of your stations, you can download a file that has access to the stream. You then put that file in a playlist and if plays. But I get lost at the last part of how to get it to play on a different device. Starting simple, I set the renderer to local and it plays the station. But when I put the renderer to my tablet (thats hooked up to my TV), I press Play, it changes to Pause for about seven seconds and changes back to the Play button again. But if I turn Audio Cast on it takes the place of where the stream needs to play. I think I'm missing the last step, can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance, later.

Greetings

I am using Mezzmo 4.1.2.0 on Windows 7 to stream mp3s to my Kindle Fire HD with BubbleUPNP 2.1.1.1 installed on it.

Recently mp3 streaming has stopped working through BubbleUPNP.

I can successfully stream my movies from Mezzmo to BubbleUPNP... to be played via MX Player...

But whenever I queue up an album and add to Playlist.... the track duration / album cover / etc show up in Now Playing... but it never starts...

I've tried reinstalling Mezzmo and BubbleUPNP

I've included a log file from BubbleUPNP after replicating the 'Mp3-not-playing' problem.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I have tried to use Universal Media server on Windows 7 to stream MP3s to BubbleUPNP... Also unsuccessful.. however, it is correctly playing video files with MX Player.

EDIT #2: I can play the streamed mp3 after I grab the URL from BubbleUPNP's Now Playing tab and open via browser... but I still can't play it from BubbleUPNP like before...
