Thanks for your reply. :)

Next question, and maybe I've been searching using the wrong terminology, but I can't find how to install anything to my NAS.

According to the drive I should be able to install VLC for example and I can't do that, I look for packages and it wont find any and it times out when looking for latest firmware....... Obviously that's nothing to do with your app/software.

Again, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Feature request

I absolutely love the Open Home capabilities of the BubbleUPnP server in conjunction with MinimServer on my Synology NAS. It would be perfect if this setup supported gapless playback. You have stated prior that it is on your list of features to add but is not a priority. Any idea of timing on this? I am still having issues with repeating tracks when I use the standard server and not Open Home. I have opened a support ticket with Electrocompaniet for the renderer and have had some dialog with them but no fix yet.

Bubble UPnP is the best control app by far, and I have tried almost all of them. Keep up the great work.

Bubbleupnp does not show all library

Hi guys,

i just installed the app but it does not show all directory and all file I have in the shared directory in C:\.

did you already have this issue?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] vampyrex13:
New bug I figured out. I would test my connection (58051 https) to my server and it would say connected, but the server would not show up sometimes. As soon as I switched to 58050 http, my server showed back up. This seems to happen regularly. Rebooting my phone or server doesn't resolve the issue. For now, I guess I'm sticking with 58050.
[Android Apps and Games] allan1313:
I for the life of me can not get it to set up properly to stream while away from my wifi network.

Can someone walk me through setting up my ports on my router? I have a verizon fios actiontec. If it matters. I thought I forwarded the two ports (58050 and 58051) correctly, but when I test it it fails.

Suggestions, help??

On which kinds of links does this happen ? Please give me all the details so I can try to reproduce it in "Next Browser".
[Android Apps and Games] andreaspe:
In locally saved web pages, in html note keeping files (the app exports the notes as html) and most importantly in a locally saved database which is java based and the index file is in html (i use that in my work). I unistalled bubble and everything back to normal.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks but as I'm not familiar with "Next Browser" can you give step by step instructions to reproduce the problem (go there, click that, etc)

Displaying Album art

Hi

I am running Asset UPnP as music server.

Browsing the library givers different views.

For example,, I can browse my music collection by Artist.

Then,, let say that one specific Artist has many albums with cover art.

In the listing of Artists, in front of the artist name, BubbleUPnP displays one of the cover arts from the albums belonging to the artist.

Can the cover art before the artist name be turned off,,???

( Maby just displaying a default icon for Artists,, or nothing at all)

Indeed! Router (igmpproxy) had uptime of 25 days, server (minidlna) 21 days. Rebooting both and the device was found again by BubbleUPNP :good:
[Android Apps and Games] andreaspe:
I'm opening the html files by entering in the address bar of the browser the path to the local file. For example : file:\\mnt\sdcard\notes.html (root folder of the sdcard).The browser tries to load the html and then bubble kicks in , and im left with a blank page in the browser.

Thank you very much for trying to solve this!!

Still not fixed with latest version of BubbleUPnP (License) and latest version of Foobar2000. Also, for some reason it doesn't switch to the next track of the playlist: instead it keeps playing the same track again and again. Please fix :(

Only showing thumbnails for images

Hi,

I've been using BubbleUPnP for a while. Recently when I view images it only shows a thumbnail sized picture in the centre of the screen and I can't zoom in.

When downloading the full sized image is saved.

I'm using MediaTomb as server.

Is this a known issue?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Known issue (a regression in fact) fixed in upcoming version.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I have an idea of the cause, although it should not happen and seems to be an Android bug. Can you confrm it also happens if you install MX Player (with BubbleUPnP uninstalled), with the result of MX Player being launched when you load these file:// URLs ?

What Android version are you running and which device ?

The good news is that I will be able to fix it by disabling the handling of file:// URLs in a web browser.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There no option for that: BubbleUPnP just displays the thumbnail Asset defines for that folder. Look if you can configure Asset to not send a thumbnail for these folders.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's no translations because there are way too many strings to translate (really!) and I add new strings fairly often.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Is the public hostname / ip address defined in the Network and Security tab correct ? Did you redirect both ports to the correct LAN ip address on which the server is running ? Is the connection test failing in the Status web page or in the Android connection page ?

You question is too vague to be answered...

[Android Apps and Games] am2pgs:
You are probably correct. I have now switched to using foobar as my renderer and so far it hasn't failed a playlist.

A couple of other questions if you don't mind:

1. When on mobile network my music is transcoded as requested. but when on LAN there is no transcoding at all regardless of what setting I use under the network settings in BubbleUPnP. What could I be doing wrong?

2. My proxified WMP/Plex/Asset servers don't appear in devices when connected on mobile (HTTP connection), I just see the the WMP/Plex/Asset and the local server. I can see all proxified server when on LAN. Is this normal?

Thanks a lot.

Album art not shown anylonger using Local Server

Dear bubbleguuum,

Today I noticed that the album art is not shown anymore. Not in the 'now playing' window nor when browsing the library on the Local Media Server (HTC One X).

It does work perfectly when I browse on my NAS. When I play the files on my phone with an other player there are no issues as well.

I tried the following without success:

Restarted phone

Cleared thumbnail cache

Reinstalled the app

Could you please advice?

Thanks and regards,

Jos

P.S. Thanks a lot for the recent updates. It works perfect with my car radio (the player doesn't block / show blinking time when the player is started at the same time as the car radio)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. On the LAN the WiFi/Eth Max bitrate setting (found in Settings > Network and settings) apply so make sure you configured it for transcoding (it only apply to media servers postfixed with a network name surrounded by brackets, not LAN proxies!).

2. Yes, proxies are LAN only. You do not need them with a non-LAN connection since the BubbleUPNP Server connected devices on non-LAN connection pretty much behave like LAN proxies anyway.

BubbleUPnP not playing mkv

Hi!

I'm really addicted to BubbleUPnP. Everythings works like a charm but MKV playback. When I try to Stream MKV files from my Plex server or the internal Storage of my Nexus 7 2nd Gen to my Samsung UE40D5700, the TV displays: "unsupported file format". But streaming the same file directly with my TV from plex, the format is supported. Also I can play the file straight from a USB-stick on my TV.

Can anyone help me to get this work? With avi or mp4 files, everything works fine..

Thank you!!

[Android Apps and Games] Snowknight26:
bubbleguum, for some reason the cache progress bar disappears whenever the track that's currently playing has been fully cached. I was playing a track and I noticed the track had been roughly half-downloaded. After my phone's screen turned off/locked itself, I checked BubbleUPnP again and the light blue progress bar was gone. I later verified via Google Play Music that the track had actually cached.
[Android Apps and Games] sidkumar:
1. I am playing to the local renderer.

2. Yes. Screen off, connected via wifi, not plugged in, and app has reached the end of playlist. I still see the app in the notification bar.

3. I am using Nexus4 with 4.3. One thing I noticed that ffmpeg process on the BubbleSoft server gets killed quite quickly, which implies it is not transcoding to vorbis. I am running BubbleSoft on RaspberryPi with the built in ffmpeg a.k.a avconv.

4. I'll try getting the logs.

reload renderer without restart

Hi, I would like to know how periodically is the list of media renderers reloaded. I have one media renderer at home and after switching it on I need to detect it by bubble upnp server because it will automatically create open home renderer which I am using to play streams. Or is it possible to change the time interval somewhere?

Thank you for perfect products.

Make sure you restart the server after modifying configuration.xml.

exif data not working

I have noticed that the exif data on my photos in server is not working any more. Every portrait photo is shown in landscape position. Is it possible that in last update this has been removed? Using latest 1.7.1 version.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Which Media Server ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Not exactly sure what your problem is. Are you talking about the renderer list in BubbleUPnP Server ? BubbleUPnP Server automatically detects regular UPnP AV renderers appearance / disappearance and create / remove the associated OpenHome renderer (if any).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. I have identified and fixed Sleep Timer not working when controlling a gapless renderer. That would be the case if you have both enabled Settings > Local Renderer > Gapless playback and Settings > UPnP Tweaks > Enable gapless control.

2. Can't reproduce it unfortunately. Now that I think of it, it might also be due to gapless control. Will have to try.

3. ffmpeg transcodes way faster than 1x playback, thus may shutdown way before playback completes. Check the ffmpeg command line in the log to see the output format (libvorbis for ogg vorbis)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'm not sure I understand what the problem is. Can you reexplain ? You are referring to the secondary progress indicator on the seekbar which indicates buffering, right ?

[Android Apps and Games] am2pgs:
Thanks for the reply. Yes I have configured the bitrate settings for WiFi//Eth. I don't think I understand what you mean by "media servers postfixed with a network name" though. How can I make my servers so?

I see the following servers but I am not sure I totally understand the significance of the bits in the brackets:

HTPCS:MyMedia:

HTPCS:MyMedia:[proxy]

foobar2000 Media Server (Admin)

Asset UPnP: HTPCS

---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

I have noticed that the playlists that I save while on mobile connection, don't play when I load them on LAN connection. I realise this might be because they http paths stored in the .dpl file may be different to the server address when on LAN. Also since the paths have the IP address of my dynamic IP when on mobile, I assume they won't work when my IP address changes.

Am I totally missing the point here? Is there something I should do to make sure playlists are portable?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The [proxy] postfix is for proxies created with "Create a proxy Media Server on this LAN" in BubbleUPnP Server.

They are only visible on the LAN and can be used to:

- solve discovery issues with the original server

- add some audio DLNA compliance to the original server

- fix the original media server sending bad XML data when browsing

- probably a few other things I forgot like reducing album art size making it load faster and adding thumbnails from full size image if missing

proxies are not affected by the transcoding settings in Android BubbleUPnP: they proxy the original streams as is.

The transcode settings only apply to media servers connected via the Settings > Network and settings > [A network name]

Such media servers are postfixed by [A network name] as shown of this screenshot.

So if you want transocoding on the LAN, you must browse one of these media servers. Then the transcode settings will apply (LAN or mobile depending on your connection).
[Android Apps and Games] am2pgs:
Thanks for the explanation. Your screenshot made me realise I had set up my network settings in bubbleUPnP the wrong way. I only had one connection defined for both Mobile and LAN with the other two rows "Unset". My servers now have the network name when on LAN and transcoding works as expected.

Zyxel NSA325
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If your public ip is a dynamic ip you should look into using a static ip provided by a free dyndns service such as noip.com.

Then, to have playlists work on mobile and the LAN, only ever browse the BubbleUPnP Server managed remote servers (the ones shown in the screenshot of my previous post), and add items in playlists from them.

You can even hide the regular media servers in the Devices tab when connected on your home WiFi (long-click on device > Hide to mark it hidden, then to effectively hide them: Menu > Not hidden), so you don't select them by mistake on your LAN.

BeyondPod Podcast support

I bought this app after trying many others, and I LOVE it.

I use it for many uses, and one of them is to listen to podcasts on tv or my work computer without having to connect cables.

I use BeyondPod as a PodCast downloader on my device.I noticed that the metadata of the podcast is missing: as the title of the podcast I get the file name and a random number (such as "All About Android1568215754.mp3", and no info about what episode is that.

I went in the settings and found that you support PocketCast as a podcast player, where you can parse the directory of PocketCast to show useful info (I guess, didn't try).

Is there any possibility of supporting BeyondPod to show correct meta data?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, I just fixed it so the default title for an external item (the filename) is overriden by the title in the stream's metadata (if present).

That will only work for podcasts that are properly tagged, with a title. It worked with the BBC podcast I tried.

PocketCast has some more integration with BubbleUPnP when sending podcasts from PocketCast to BubbleUPnP: it transmits some metadata (title, album art URL) along with the podcast URL, thus not requiring the metadata to be present in the podcast file itself.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP 1.7.2 will be shortly available on Google Play.

This is mostly a bugfix release. Thanks to anyone who submited bug reports and feedback.

1.7.2

long-pressing the back key in Library goes back to root of Library

fixed local media server playback to OpenHome renderers not working (regression)

fixed image viewer displaying a small image in some cases (regression)

fixed Google Drive folders only showing the first 100 items

fixed duplicated Sonos devices (keep only the friendly name one)

fixed volume control with some bogus TEAC renderers

fixed local media server not playing mp3 to some DLNA TVs

fixed Sleep Timer "Play until end of track" not working when controlling a renderer gaplessly

fixed BubbleUPnP starting when clicking attachments in some email apps, on some devices

fixed D-PAD OK button not working in item lists, on some devices

fixed Shoutcast streaming force proxying to some devices able to handle it directly

other minor fixes

And in the "other minor fixes" category:

fixed a few rare crashes

external sent item default title is overriden by metadata title if present

Now Playing: seekbar is disabled when local renderer is playing a non-seekable track

Custom mount point folder picker defaults to /

on device disappearance, select local media server or renderer if available, else first non-hidden device

do not display long desccription if same than description in metadata dialog (JRMC)

do not display image resources in metadata dialog, if not an image item (JRMC)
[Android Apps and Games] mcbyte_it:
I listen mostly to Twit.tv podcasts, and their mp3 files contain full metadata (including the album art), but BubbleUPNP doesn't show anything about them, I will try the 1.7.2 update and report if it shows better data now.

Update: just updated, and still nothing is shown, check the screenshots of what BubbleUPNP shows and what actually is present as meta data in the files.
[Android Apps and Games] Snowknight26:
Correct. The secondary progress bar sometimes doesn't show when it's at 100%.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Is it a downloaded podcast (file) or a streamed podcast (http) ? I made the modification only for http items...
[Android Apps and Games] mcbyte_it:
They are downloaded podcasts in mp3 files, I don't know even if it is possible to stream http BeyondPod podcasts to Bubble UPNP if it does not support BeyondPod.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Weird, i get full metadata for the exact same podcast played as a downloaded file (Nexus 4, Android 4.3). See screenshot to make sure I am affabulating =). What is your Android version and device ? Can you send me a log file (see first post of this topic for instructions).

In BeyondPod, long cick on not downloaded podcast > play in external player.
[Android Apps and Games] mcbyte_it:
I am sending you the log via email.

I did some tests, if I have the mp3 file in the normal android folders (music folder), and that file is indexed by the android media provider, then bubbleupnp shows the data. But BeyondPod makes the Podcasts folder hidden from the media provider (the .nomedia file), and with this bubbleupnp shows no data at all, because the media provider doesn't have it, and it itself doesn't do meta data extraction. does this make sense?

check your email, with subject "BeyondPod Issues Log"
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Why are you not playing your podcasts from the BeyondPod app, long-clicking a podcast in it and chosing "Play in external player" ?
[Android Apps and Games] mcbyte_it:
:confused: no specific reason, I just go directly to BubbleUPNP and browse there. I just tried to Play in external player and now it shows the meta data.

Thanks for the tip.
[Android Apps and Games] am2pgs:
I have sorted my dynamic IP problem as you have suggested. But still I can not play my playlists created on mobile on LAN and vice versa.

I would appreciate if you could look at these two short playlists containing just one track, the same track from the same server, one plays when on mobile and the other when on LAN. I am sure I am doing something wrong here and I think the clue is in the files.

Thanks.

Hey bubbleguuum!

Did you try to solve the "video/x-mkv and not video/x-matroska"-Problem from my silly Samsung UE40D5700 in 1.7.2? Or will you try to solve it with the next release? It would be really great to play *.mkv. :)

Many thanks for the work!

P.S. Today I've purchased the License Key. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That will be for the next release as it is less trivial to fix than I thought. The problem being that I cannot identify the TV when it makes http requests (no User-Agent). It will also require I send you test versions to check that it works, as I'm not 100% sure what the exact fix will be.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The lan.dpl playlist can only play on the LAN (contains LAN URLs).

The mobile.dpl playlist may work on your LAN if your router supports NAT loopback.

If you load the mobile.dpl playlist on your LAN, does the tracks in it play ?

Normally they should, but if your router doesn't allow NAT loopback (making requests to your public ip/hostname from within your LAN) it will not play. If that's the case you may want to research if it is possible to enable NAT loopback on your router.

I wish it was possible to avoid this complexity with playlists when used on the LAN and mobile, but it is not, as from the POV of the app both media servers, the regular LAN one (non managed by BubbleUPnP Sever), and the mobile one are totally separate and unrelated. The only way to have working playlists on both mobile and the lan is to have that mobile playlist work on your LAN.
[Android Apps and Games] aljowen:
Thanks for this awesome application, it works really well with foobar and my samsung tv. It is so much faster than samsungs all play implementation and buffers less. Its truly brilliant.
