movies library not showing anymore

Hi there

Firts off have to say what a great app.

Have searched and searched but cannot see if this has been covered - set up bubbleupnp on galaxy tablet, pointed it at my plex media server on my htpc and could see all my library, movied, music, photos. Selected what I wanted and sent to samsung tv to play - fantastic.

However in the last few days I cannot see my movies library. All the other are fine, but all I am getting is a little pop-up box which says "browser error - cause - action failed".

Can anyone please point me in the right direction please.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
is Android 4.4.2 on the Galaxy Tab 3 and official Samsung ROM ? Samsung include their own FLAC decoder / metadata parser so it may work differently than the regular one (eg not extract the same metadata in particular Composer). "Force own FLAC decoder" does nothing for metadata. It just use an alternate FLAC decoder bundled in the app.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Looks lije it is an issue with KooRaRoo media server not updating its browse tree properly. If you hit "Reload" in BubbleUPnP it will always show the latest media the media server has indexed. If it is not up to date, it is a media server issue.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Send me a log file producing that error, following instructions in the first post of this topic
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
it really looks like a Plex problem, but you can send me a log file browsing to the folder that give you this error (see first post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] dmd1357:
android is version 4.2.2 which it says is the latest version for this tablet, and yes I believe the samsung rom. As I said in the post, everything was working fine, it can see all my tv shows and play them to the tele, just no longer the movies.

Thanks for such a prompt response, appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You did not answer to the correct post. I was asking for a log...
[Android Apps and Games] dmd1357:
Sorry bubblegum, very new to this, dont even know where to find the log...is it on the tablet or computer, or direct me to the post here which takes you through the steps to get at the log. Sorry, but a quick search and I could not find it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Did you read my reply ?:
[Android Apps and Games] dmd1357:
log file sent...
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks. It confirms it is a Plex problem returning an "internal error" when browsing this folder:

It is possible a particular movie is causing the trouble.

If you cannot fix it, switch to another media server like Serviio.
[Android Apps and Games] dmd1357:
very many thanks for that, I'll check the recent movies I have added, it must be one of them, because as I said it was all working ok a while ago.
[Android Apps and Games] aoaleman:
Hi bubbleguuum, loved the app so much I bought the license. Thank you for making life so much easier!

When I stream a video from my PC to an XBox 360, I almost always get a "playback error" about 3/4ths into the video. Could it possibly be a router issue? Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Avalun:
Can I use the upnp app as upnpproxy too? I have the scenario that I have a upnp Server on a remote network which is accessible via bridged openvpn. That works fine with my phone but sometimes I want to relay the data via bubbleupnp as it works with the upnp server.

I can select a different renderer and a different source, but then the renderer tries to connect itself direct to the remote upnp server, which doen't work.

I want to do that, because I don't want to have foreign devices in my vpn, and most devices don't even support openvpn.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can do that with BubbleUPnP Server using http or https (no VPN).

Additionnaly, if you need to rebroadcast your home media servers on the network your Android device is connected to, you can do that by enabling Settings > Network and settings > [Name of your remote network] > Advertise on LAN.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Difficult to say. The problem can be from the connection between your Xbox and PC or something else the Xbox doesn't like in the video. At this point, BubbleUPnP is not involved.
[Android Apps and Games] aoaleman:
Thank you, [MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION]. I shall look into other things. I appreciate your time and support. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Avalun:
Yes I already got that running with the Server Software. So I have to put my linux device with me, when I want to steam stuff from my network to the devices of another places. But thanks for the info.
[Android Apps and Games] guiso98:
Now you integrated some cloud services... how can I stream from a smb share from my network?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's the -lanIp <ip address> command line switch, in case automatic detection gets it wrong.

You can add it to the startup script.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
For movies you should be able to do it browsing your SMB shares from ES File Explorer and sharing the file to BubbleUPnP, or from the Mizuu app.
[Android Apps and Games] hogar123:
Hello bubbleguuum,

The only thing missing your`s great app is library grid view. Can it be expected?

log

Log file sent

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The log shows that the Sony renderer just returns an http internal error when instructed to play a mp3.

This is unusual as it is very basic. Reboot it. Maybe check if there is an updated firmware for it. Or try with another media server

(the local media server for example) although I think the problem is from the Sony renderer, not the media server.
[Android Apps and Games] koj:
log

Thanks seems strange that it works direct from server it is only when using bubble for control that i have problem. Will try another server as i am sure it worked when using routers built in one only problem was it was limited to 1000 mp3 so not much use. Will let you know.

User Enumeration vulnerability

Hi Bubbleguuum,

I just purchased your android app for use streaming mediatomb across the internet via the Bubblegum UPNP server. I do however notice a minor security issue which you might want to fix at some point. Details below,...

When logging into the admin server a failed password attempt takes much longer to return the fail page than a failure due to an incorrect username. This big timing discrepancy makes it trivial to enumerate user names.

Cheers,

Mark
[Android Apps and Games] Andre Gosselin:
The Android 4.4.2 giving correct composer metadata is on a Nexus 7 tablet. The problematic tablet with Android 4.2 giving the "unknown" composer is a pristine Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, so I assume it uses the official Samsung ROM. You say Samsung include their own FLAC metadata parser which may work differently than the regular one. Does that mean there is no hope of working around this issue, or could you point me where I could dig for a possible solution?

Thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] Chamelleon:
Hi, I have a problem connecting with my remote server (foobar2000 with UPnP / DLNA plug-in).

In local network app connecting with server without any problems but I can't connect through internet.

I have dynamic IP so I registered domain on no-ip. Domain is tested and working, ping fine. I can connect to my remote server by browser or another instance of foobar2000 but app can't connect.

I was trying by few combinations of IP's"

http://hostname.no-ip.biz

http://hostname.no-ip.biz:port

and even username:password@hostname.no-ip.biz:port

and always the same error.

I have configured no-ip on my router and to avoid problems with port forwarding I'm using DMZ for PC with active foobar2000 server.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
These settings are *only* for connecting to BubbleUPnP Server which in turn will make foobar2000 accessible.
[Android Apps and Games] Chamelleon:
I just read that on hydrogenaudio. :) Thanks for reply.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The only posible solution is to install a non-Samsung ROM, if possible.
[Android Apps and Games] ninogui:
any chance of having pioneer streaming devices N30 / N50 gapless playback for bubble investigated ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Gapless will only work if this renderer supports the standard way to do gapless with UPnP, through the SetNextAVTransportURI command.

From what I understand, it doesn't support it.

Playlist search not working ?

Hi,

I installed bubbleupnp on my android device, using XMBC on my raspberry as library and renderer.

After scanning my XBMC music library (which take hours), i could search song in the library tab.

I then saved my scanned library as playlist (which is usefull to me as i don't have to rescan the full library upon each start of the app).

But, after loading the playlist, in playlist tab, song search is not working. It never return results, although search string matches several song in the playlist !

Am i the only one facing this problem ?

Can we only search song in the library ?

Thanks,

Chaz
[Android Apps and Games] kennkanniff:
I have huge problems with the last version. Track advance much to early, sometimes after 3 min sometimes after 2 seconds. My Onky tx nr414 stopped working completely.

Also I think it is kinda weird you can only receive betas if you join something where you need a google plus account for.

Unknown Artist

Hi.

Unknown artist is displayed in list views. Artist is displayed once I drill down to album level with tracks displayed below. Artist info is displayed correctly in Synology Audio Station.

Log (not sure it will help) and images are attached for review.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] niggle1:
Hi,

A couple of suggestions, for future consideration:

- Playlist edit capabilities. Ability to drag tracks up/down to change the play order. Ability to bulk delete multiple tracks.

- Widget appearance. Ability to specify background colour and opacity.

Many thanks for what is already a superb app. Great work.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Already possible: drag track cover up/down to reorder. Swipe cover right to remove track.

You can select multiple tracks by swiping their title (title color will change to blue to show selected state). Once you have selected the tracks you want, apply an action (remove, play, enqueue ...) to apply to the selection .

Noted although no promise it will be added.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You media server does not return artist info at the album listing level (it does for album tracks though).

It is not really comparable with the Synology Audio Station app as it may not use UPnP for browsing.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Try first to reboot it and eventually upgrade its firmware.

99% chances problems comes from the Onkyo...which have proved to be....annoying.

If you still have the problem, you can send me a log file following instructions in the first post.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Search only apply to Library with a server-side searches emitted to your Media Server if it supports them, and a local search of the currenttly displayed folder in Library.

sony mediashare

Looks like if using bubble as control only it will not work as control needs to register with mediashare renderer. Found a Sony app called network audio remote wich does work but interface not as slick as bubble. :(
[Android Apps and Games] tilutza:
Hello bubbleguum,

I am writing here, because someone like you you may help me. A switched on Android 2 weeks ago. I had a Nokia E52 before which is even now much better than this Android for me.

I am using your application on my tablet, but on my phone I have local music too. I would like an application for listening music and to share to a DLNA player too. That application does not exists now.

This, is somehow a mixing of some applications: Rocket Player (for listening music on computer and via Bluetooth),

Streambels AirPlay/DLNA Player and your Bubble UPNP.

I know that everyone is sustaining Android because bla bla ... but the good applications costs money, and I am available to pay one for just listening music, but to use it everywhere (like my Nokia E52 music app). Also the ideea of having the option to install applications, is too far away, since a lot of them are useless or incomplete.

I would like to suggest you to try to create a new branch maybe for an app that you can use on the daily basis too not just for streaming music because your application is working very well.

Also like an improvement, please try to integrate the youtube sharing with your application too, and not to try to use other one (Simple Links Free), because if you have a playlist and you reboot your phone, that playlist is still remaining (with an YouTube link) but it will not work anymore. You must enter in the Youtube app, search it again, and click share ...

Having this bug, and basically using your app just via Share functionality, I see the playlist functionality in Bubble UPNP kind a useless feature.

Consider my thought as beeing creative.

I am waiting your response.

Happy New year :)

my album art problems

what format (or filename) does album art have to take to support full resolution?

currently i am only seeing a thumbnail of the art in the now playing screen

using twonky (7.2.5-1) on a QNAP TS-119P II (4.0.5)

TIA
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP 1.7.7p4 beta "happy new year edition" will be shortly available through Google Play to beta subscribers.

Changelog

Since it is likely to be the last beta before 1.7.7 final, make sure to test !

Moreover I will release BubbleUPNP Server 0.7 later this week, which adds gapless OpenHome renderer support (finally!) for regular renderers already supporting gapless, and a few other features.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It's a know problem with Twonky sending thumbnails as album art by default.

You should be able to change it, in the Twonky web interface, Media Receivers section, locate BubbleUPnP and set "Media Receiver type" to "Linn Bubble DS Control Point"
[Android Apps and Games] ctxpv505:
sorted...

nice one thanks
[Android Apps and Games] winxi:
Awesome! Looking forward to the new version!

Question regarding BubbleUPnP filenames

Not sure if I should ask my question here but I cannot find the bubble support forums, if I'm at the wrong place I wouldn't mind being redirected:)

TL;DR-version: I need to figure out how to generate BubbleUPnP URLs (e.g: localhost/stream/video/e5467feb968d335479d36b9cbbce1686.mkv) so that I can integrate bubble streaming to my personal website. What confuses me is the hash part of the file name. I need to know how its generated so I can do the same thing and link to it on the front end.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Longer version:

I'm trying to get BubbleUPnP to work with my current XBMC streaming solution(XBMC Video Server) because I want to be able to transcode my XBMC lib on the fly. Most of it works well but I have a little left to go, what I need help with is figuring out how bubble generates/chooses its file names, or rather, the hash part of it (e5467feb968d335479d36b9cbbce1686.mkv).

I can browse through and view my Bubble (XBMC) lib with foobar2000 and transcoding works perfectly and I can also access the stream directly through its URL. What I want to do now is to add the different transcoding options to my XBMC video server home page.

My idea on how to do this was to add a drop down list on the movie page with the different quality options. When you select something in the drop down list, the stream URL changes from my current streaming solutions url to the ones that BubbleUPnP serves. To do this I need to figure out how BubbleUPnP gets/generates its file names ( e.g: localhost/stream/video/e5467feb968d335479d36b9cbbce1686.mkv and localhost/stream/video/e5467feb968d335479d36b9cbbce1686.mkv?args=-vf scale=trunc(oh*a/2)*2:480.ts) so that I can generate that URL on my home page. Any way to figure out the hash part (e5467feb968d335479d36b9cbbce1686) of the name would be appreciated, if I need to look something up in a database then that would work too.

Best regards

[Android Apps and Games] bubbahomd:
I see the same issue (4.2 below, wrong bitrate). When I play a 320kbps MP3 file via DLNA from BubbleUPnP connected to my MediaTomb server (version 0.12.1), it shows "MP3 | 40kbps | 44.1 kHz" in the Now Playing song metadata.

When I play the same MP3 file with the VLC linux client, it shows as the correct 320kbps bitrate.

This doesn't seem to be a problem for MP3s encoded with lower or variable bitrates, but I'm not sure.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The bitrate displayed in BubbleUPNP is the bitrate reported by the media server (MediaTomb).

Some media servers notoriously report it wrong.

VLC is not relying on media server sent info but probably infer the bitrate from the stream itself.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP Server was not designed to do that so I doubt you will be able to use it that way.

The hash part is md5sum(XBMC LAN streaming URL). BubbleUPnP Server will deny streaming requests of items that it has not previously browsed.
[Android Apps and Games] juliatan:
Really best dlna/upnp app ever used so far on Android. DLNA works great. Great support also of cloud for playing my mp3 via stream. And BubbleUPnP is one of only apps on my Nex7/13 which works with Viper4Android.

However one thing I really miss is adding cifs/smb-shares in library to play my music (flac) from my own network at home via WDTV Live among others.

Now I have to use a not so good app as this one (ArmAmp without Viper4Android-support) for my flacs at home-network. Cloud with mp3 I use when not home. Support for Cifs/Smb would be great addition
[Android Apps and Games] koruptyg:
Thanks for the response brother, very much appreciated. I don't think there will be any problems integrating it as its just a URL to a stream, I should be able to get it to display anywhere, IF I can generate the URL. I've managed to do it by manually looking up the URL through foobar then adding it to the page.

Now to the MD5-hash. What I need to know is what exact data/string it is before it gets hashed so that I can generate the same hash on my page (to link it). It does not seem to be XBMC streaming URL though, but I am not sure and I might be missing something. If it is using the XBMC URL, how exactly does the URL look before it gets hashed?

If I browse both media servers with foobar2000 (XBMC and XBMC served through bubble) my file names/paths differ. Below is the properties of two movies, everything is same besides the path and this leads me to believe that BubbleUPNP is generating its own file names based on the MD5-hash.

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for confirming. This is due to the polling method, more reliable.

1. Indeed, but only on small screens. There's not much room for it in the new landscape layout but I'll see what I can do.

2. The final version number will still be 1.2.2 but I'll upate the release number this time so the Market notify of the new version.
[Android Apps and Games] HiggensH:
Many thanks for the update.

The auto play the next piece only works if the phone is on again. That means when the display will again flow. I want a playlist to select the phone and then everything should be played.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
From the log it looks like this renderer doesn't notify end of track, even with the new polling method. There's no possible track advance working without it.

Can you confirm that for that log you played a track, waited about 5mins (playback didn't advance at this point while it should have), then manually exited the app ?
[Android Apps and Games] Blaqueelise:
From the log. I cue an album to the playlist. Play the first song, and watch the timeline advance to the end of the song. Once the song finishes, it starts the same song again.

Not on the log, but the first song will just play over and over again. The only way to to play the next song is to tap on it from the playlist.

Thank you for looking in to this,

Blaqueelise.
[Android Apps and Games] bjrmd:
First-love the app, got the full version.

One small issue, when playing off a playlist from my mediamonkey server, the local android device running bubble shows the correct album, song title but the artist name stays stuck at whatever the first one on the playlist was.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You may want to try v1.2.2p8 beta which I think fixes this issue.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

Can you reformulate with more details (playing from which server ? to which renderer ? description of the problem observed ? etc...).

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] HiggensH:
Sorry, my English is not so good.

Once more:

I use the App on my mobile phone and on my tablet with a NAS Server. On the tablet i use the renderer from your App, so i can control the tablet with my mobile phone.

1. If i start on the mobile phone a track, it takes 1 minute to play the song on the tablet.

2. If the first song is on the end, the next song don`t play automatic. Anyway yesterday. Today it works. Very confuse.

Do you need the logfile?

Thanks

Update:

i have played 5 files and it works, but now the next track don`t play automatic.

playlist issue

Hello, thanks for this great app! i'm so glad i found this!

just a minor thing: pausing a track either in the 'now playing' or in the 'playlist' view and a subsequent tap on another song in the playlist causes the paused song to continue playing (instead of beginning the new song). this behaviour is independent of the server and the renderer selected. so i think, it's easily reproduceable. however, if you need a logfile, i will be able to post it tomorrow.

many thanks, winxi
