Chromecast crashing and rebooting is certainly due to a bug introduced in its latest firmware where playing any WAV will make it crash.

So foo_upnp is probably transcoding to WAV somehow. This can happen depending on codec of file streamed or if some special features are

enabled such as ReplayGain and DSPs.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
- Using a legit version of the app / license ?

- Have you Xposed installed ?

- To what renderer are you playing and what kind of video, so I can try to reprod it on my N5 / Marshmallow ?

Assuming I understand correctly what you want to do, you can do that by entering the folder containing all the folders you want to bookmark then:

- top 3 dot menu > Select All

- top 3 dot menu > Bookmark

Any chance Bubble could remember the in-track position when switching renderers instead of resetting back to the beginning?

folder images not displayed

Hi,

using AVM Fritz!Box media Server (firmware is uptodate) as media server, bubble upnp does not display folder Images (Samsung S2 tablet and Samsung S3 Mini).

I put a folder.jpg in each folder (using mp3tag), but still no success.

I've been searching on the web without success and the Forum search seems to be broken (getting only error messages).

Has anyone a hint where to continue?

TIA

Can you check if disabling 'Settings > Control > Kill on inactivity' fixes the problem ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is probable that the media server running on this box is very basic and does not support album art.

There's no solution unless using a media server that supports it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can continue current playback to a new renderer via: navigation drawer > 3-dot menu on the renderer you want to play to > Continue playback here.

Marshmellow

I'm using marshmallow 6.0.1 on non-nexus device; the HTC One A9

Xposed is installed

App and Module is installed (stable and beta have been tried)

Phone is (systemless) rooted

I am unable to use the audio cast feature to cast my audio to my friends ps4

When I go to the folder 'audio cast' on the server from my ps4, it says "there is no playable media. I've tried both streaming formats and auto.

Is audio cast to ps4 not possible (it doesn't show up in the renderer list, but the media player app on the ps4 does see the server, and can play files off of it)? Or is it because I'm on marshmallow?

I can provide logcats, edit files on my phone, etc. And am willing to help get this issue resolved
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Audio Cast on PS4 is not possible because (unlike the PS3 and Xboxes) the PS4 does not

support either WAV or LPCM.
[Android Apps and Games] Ae3NerdGod:
Are you serious? How could it not support wav???

Wow

OK. Thank you. Any plans on supporting the ps4?

Thanks again for fixing silent server start issue on DSM 5.2 on Synology DS212j.

Server works now, but being a little noob in Linux I'm having terrible difficulties compiling the right ffmpeg.

CutePoisonX script compiles it without mp3 encoding, so both audio and video transcoding are disabled.

Somehow custom script configuration doesn't work either. And I think it could be not the only missing library.

Could you point me to the right ffmpeg compilation guide or another kind of solution?

Chromecast Audio, Vorbis, Flac and UPNP server

The new Chromecast Audio can play Ogg Vorbis and FLAC files natively.

I have Plex server hosting a large quantity of vorbis, FLAC and video files.

BubbleUPNP gives an error "Cannot play: media not natively supported by Chromecast. See settings > Chromecast to enable transcoding".

I have no interest in transcoding and Chromecast Audio natively supports these formats anyway.

If I launch ES File Explorer I can find the same files on a windows file share and play it via BubbleUPNP and it plays.

I think ES file explorer takes the file share and proxies it into a http link which is sent to BubbleUPNP which sends this to Chromecast. This is no different to how UPNP passes media, so why does BubbleUPNP complain about native supported formats?

I think it may be related to MIME type nonsense. I have to disable MIME type checking to play the same media on another UPNP media renderer I have, which works well. Chromecast does not have the option to disable MIME type checking.

Can BubbleUPNP be set to ignore the MIME type for Chromecast or be updated to accept these MIME types for the new Chromecast Audio?

Thanks,

AP
[Android Apps and Games] arthurplank:
Might be similar to the issue I am having. Still not sure about the cause yet.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP should not display ""Cannot play: media not natively supported ..." for FLAC and Ogg Vorbis, assuming a media server that sends proper mime-types for these files.

Please send me a log file triggering this error message for a FLAC and Ogg Vorbis so I can see what the media server is sending. See first first post of this topic for logging instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Are you sure you are not adding them while the Playlist tab has already 16 tracks (the max for the free version).

In that case you would see a misleading toast stating the files where added while they are not (because of the limitation to max 16 tracks).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Compiling ffmpeg is really tricky and not exactly for everyone. Maybe try to find an alternate proper binary for Synology instead.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The PS4 only supports mp3 and aac.

No plan to support Audio Cast on it unless Sony adds WAV or LPCM support.
[Android Apps and Games] RFrancis:
On Samsung s6 the app messes with my cpu frequencies. It changes the maximum and minimum frequencies all of the time, its very exasperating. Can you fix?
[Android Apps and Games] Thehoodly54:
Thanks for getting back to me, no the playlist is entirely empty before adding any FLAC files. Works fine with MP3 files within the limitations of the free version.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If in Library you look at the metadata of one of the offending flac (3-dot menu on item > Show metadata), does it list any stream ? If there's at least 1 stream you should see a "Stream #1" line.
[Android Apps and Games] Thehoodly54:
No, there is no stream info displayed.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Then your media server is returning items without any stream (or there are streams but not http). That's why it doesn't get added to the playlist.

That's a bug of your media server.
[Android Apps and Games] Thehoodly54:
Thanks for your help, I shall investigate further.
[Android Apps and Games] arthurplank:
I have sent a PM with a link to the log.

Looking at the log, I am wondering if the problem is Plex now, but I may be wrong.

Many thanks.

AP
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The log shows that Plex associate mime-type 'application/octet-stream' for the ogg stream, instead of audio/x-ogg.

Thus BubbleUPnP doesn't know what it is, and you see the "no supported" toast message.

Admitedly, BubbleUPnP could look at the stream extension in that case and possibly infer a mime-type for it.

Anyway, the real issue is that Plex is not sending a mime-type descriptive enough...
[Android Apps and Games] arthurplank:
Thanks Bubbleguuum,

It would be a possible boost for BubbleUPnP to "try a bit harder" with poor servers; perhaps this would help people with limited options.

I will start digging in the Plex config files to try and get them to behave properly.

Reading the log output got me thinking about it correctly so it seems.

I'll let you know how I get on.

issues when streaming

When stream from android through Xbox 1 there is never a full play without constantly stopping and restarting buffering I guess the update last time fixed the issues but it's back and worse than before plz is there anyway to fix this??? :(:(
[Android Apps and Games] Snowknight26:
Looks like the issue also needs to be fixed in landscape orientation.

Also, I don't know when this started happening but caching is not working. New tracks are not cached to /sdcard regardless of having Mobile / Wifi / Ethernet selected in the caching settings. Along the same lines, empty folders are not deleted from the cache directory when old tracks are removed.

Edit: See the attached log. Apparently the track isn't cached because the Content-Length header isn't passed. Shouldn't foo_upnp or BubbleUPnP server do that? It's a simple FLAC-> MP3 conversion done inside foo_upnp. I guess that also explains why seeking isn't possible? That's definitely one of the most frustrating things too.
[Android Apps and Games] xeroten:
I can't seem to get this app working on my nexus player. Google Play store would not find it through a search so I installed it from my computer. The app icon popped up on the Nexus Player and said it was installing, then it disappeared. GP Store says it is installed but I have no idea how to access it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If you enabled transcoding to mp3 in foo_upnp, you should disable it (in the BubbleUPnP streaming profile) and let BubbleUPnP Server do it instead on the original flac served by foo_upnp. Then it will work properly. Android BubbleUPnP will not cache original streams with no Content-Length because this could be an 'infinite' stream such as a web radio (although in that case it is a transcode performed by foo_upnp).

For seekability of BubbleUPNP Server transcodes, there is 'Settings > Network and settings > Seekable tracks' that you can enable. This will make transcodes seekable at the expense of a small delay before playing the track, depending on the speed of BubbleUPnP Server to fully transcode the original track.

This delay can be suppressed by making the local renderer gapless (Settings > Local Renderer > Gapless playback) as this will prefetch the next track.

Subsequently, cached tracks are of course always seekable without delays since they are local files.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It's probably somewhere on your Nexus so you can launch it, but the UI is not adapted for the big screen and doesn't work well for the D-PAD.

It can be useful as a background media server or renderer though.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I suggest using MinimServer if you can. It is the best server for music and will work in that case.

Bubble android avi stuttering.

Anyway to stop stuttering avi?
[Android Apps and Games] Snowknight26:
The app should handle HTTP requests without Content-Length headers like browsers do:

https://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.0/draft-ietf-http-spec.html#BodyLength

That should fix caching in this circumstance but also keep web streams working.
[Android Apps and Games] arthurplank:
Hi Bubbleguuum,

Murkier and Murkier...

FLAC plays fine, but then the audio/flac mime type is sent correctly.

ogg vorbis still sends application/octet-stream

Using the file -i command in Linux I can see what the system thinks the file is;

for an mp3 it's audio/mpeg, for a flac it's audio/flac, for ogg file it's application/ogg !

Perhaps PLEX is not at fault but is looking at the system mime type for a .ogg file, however this seems opaque.

PLEX is closed source and looking into the config files reveals very little of interest.

It always seems to default to application/octet-stream for .ogg files.

Perhaps it would be easier to have an option to disable mime-type checking for chromecast too, or have the current option affect both UPnP renderers and Chromecast equally.

Best Regards,

AP

Can I use tomato router as my Bubbleupnp server?

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I added a workaround: if a media server sends application/octet-stream, BubbleUPnP attempts to infer a better mime-type from

the stream URL file extension (if any). It should work for Plex.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Not unless it can run Java.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No as password protected DLNA server is really not standard at all.

Hi,

BubbleUPnP works very good on my Xperia Z2 and Xperia Tablet Z with both Android 4.x. But for Music i normally use my good old Defy with CM 7.2 (Android 2.3). For that i could install an older version of Xposed and BubbleUPnP 1.8.6. The only thing that doesn't work is Audiocast. I want to stream my Internet radio to my a/v-reciver (works great with Android 4.x). Is there a version of Audiocast for Android 2.3 or an other solution to stream the whole audio output from all players i've installed to my a/v-receiver?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No as Audio Cast requires technically Android 4.1.

Can you please clarify whether Google Chromecast Audio will support gapless playback (from NAS or Qobuz) with BubbleUPnP as a controll point and/or with the help of BubbleUPnp Server. Thanks for your help. Wolf

Gesendet von meinem SM-N9005 mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Currently it is not gapless at all as Google Cast devices do not make it easy to do gapless, if at all possible.

Google Cast devices use html5 on the receiver side (even on Chromecast Audio), and html5 is really problematic for gapless playback although

there is a html5 player that claim to do it using workarounds, but there's no evidence it would work

on the Chromecast.

Maybe Google will add an easy way to do gapless in the future as this is really important for Chromecast Audio.

I clarified the gapless situation in the doc.

EDIT: created an issue on the Google Cast tracker about it.

Yes Bubbleguuum, it is of special interest.

I can confirm the workaround works to overcome the PLEX Chromecast MIME limitation!

So I just bought a license, thanks.

I hope google look into the gapless situation soon. I am surprised at how immature the Chomecast Audio was, but they are also promising synchronised multi-room firmware, so this could get very interesting.

For now though the cost of setting up a seriously good quality sound-system just took a dive.

Thanks again!

Subtitles stopped working on chrome cast out of the blue today. It'll just stay in ablack screen after selecting subtitle. I tried with a previous video and subtitle combo a know used to work and same thing. What's going on?

Failed to upload subtitle that's what it keeps saying and didn't use to do that...

Wait this problem doesn't have to do with my device at all? You actually run a server? Does this mean that the app is crashing because your server is offline ?

Phone becoming unresponsive a few minutes into playing local files

Nexus 5X

6.0.1

MMB29P

Bubble UPNP 2.5.6, Licensed

This issue has started happening recently so I presume it is due to an update.

I have music downloaded from my server to my phone. Library set to Local Media Server, Renderer is local renderer. After a few minutes of playing music, the music begins to skip and pause intermittently. At this point I cannot interact with the phone. The power button and fingerprint sensor also become unresponsive. The only solution I have found is to disconnect my headphones which causes the player to pause and after a few minutes the phone becomes responsive again.

I have a log file for the duration of this happening this morning. The issue is repeatable.
[Android Apps and Games] RFrancis:
Any chance the conversion can be done locally or perhaps implement a check to see if the subtitle is in the right format format for Chromecast and not truncate the whole thing
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What do you mean exactly with 'truncate the whole thing' ?
[Android Apps and Games] RFrancis:
When the server is down sometimes the app crashes. I'd appreciate the option for the subtitle to be converted locally or if we could load the subtitle in the subtitle in the right format from the get go.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Crashes as in a real app crash or just display a toast message about the failure ?

The subtitles have to be uploaded on the server the Chromecast receiver is running so it can display them,

so this is not an option.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can send the log if you wish (bubbleguuum@free.fr)

But even if the app causes such malfunction, it is not directly responsible and it has to be an Android OS issue.
[Android Apps and Games] RFrancis:
Real app crash, I'm just concerned that if you stop maintain the app/server then the subtitle ability dies with it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If I stop maintaining the server, there will be no casting anymore at all.

All cast apps need an http server hosted online that runs 24/24. It's not maybe or optional but a requirement.

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Reboot your WiFi router (the freebox server probably).
[Android Apps and Games] RFrancis:
Bubbleguuum refuses to acknowledge that there is anything wrong. If you have app ops you are going to have to uninstall it. Otherwise when playing something set the governor to performance and find what frequencies work for you. I do 1k and 1k. If you set this parameters with kernel tweaker it seems to be more resiliant to changes.
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
I tried all the other options and this one played the most files the best. Unfortunately it consistently crashes halfway through any movie and can't recover. I no longer have any faith that this will be resolved and am actively investigating all cast and local cast as alternatives...
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If you are using a MIUI rom, it has been recently discovered that it has a "cool" feature where it kills background tasks after some time. That's what it did after a while to BubbleUPnP (put in evidence in a logcat) while it was streaming a movie in the background. This "feature" can be disabled in the ROM settings.

I wonder how many ROMs (including manufacturer's) have something like that, messing up apps.

That shows the difficulty to troubleshoot such issues as there is so much variability in Android.

And I'm not even speaking of what ROMs/Wifi drivers may be doing when the screen goes off, which is not always predictable...

If your device is not running MIUI and you can reprod BubbleUPnP disappearing when streaming a movie, please send me a full logcat just after it happens, with your favorite logcat app, if your phone is rooted (or if you can retrieve the logcat with adb).

You can also check if your ROM include a settings to 'preserve the battery' that would kill apps in the background at regular interval.

And it's not about 'refusing to acknowlegde there is anything wrong'. It's just about having a mean to understand the problem on a particular device (logcat). And these issues are device/ROM specific.

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You renderer returns that error, and just doesn't support seek/pause. Possibly only for some media formats.

Make sure it is updated to its latest firmware.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The explanation is that the Chromecast streams directly from cloud servers (google drive, etc).

For the Samsung TV, BubbleUPnP has to proxy the stream for the TV to be able to play it at all,

hence any issue happening on the phone can get in the way.
