This is a recurrent issue on some ROM / Android / device / WiFi router combinations, although BubbleUPnP tells Android to keep WiFi on when the screen is off. The exact cause is often difficult to find. If you use a tool like Greenify, disable it. Try to disable "WiFi optimization" in the WIFi advanced settings if it is present. Ping your Android device with screen off (with the app is running) to see if you get no network (ping fails), high ping times or packet loss. If your device is rooted you could have a look at system logs with Catlog to check what happens when the screen goes off.

I guess this is due to your SMS app making a notification sound on incoming SMS. If it is not flagged as transient by the SMS app, BubbleUPnP will pause music so you can hear the notification. What SMS app do you use ?

Probably but you should ask on foobar2000 forums explaining clearly what you want to do.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Even if I set the priority to the maximum value possible, it is not a guarantee that the app will receive media keys events.

Several music players already use max priority and in that case, which one receive events is undefined (assuming several apps are set to receive media key events). It is possible that the app that will be receiving events is the first that was installed or the last one.

I didn't try Media Button Router on KitKat but it is very well possible it is not receiving media keys because another app with max priority get them (like PlayerPro or Poweramp). Media Button Router itself use max priority. IIRC, in its help, it mention a few apps that might interfere with it due to also using max priority. Disabling media keys in mentionned apps might help, to let Media Button Router do its job.

As for starting BubbleUPnP on media key presses (assuming it gets them!), I'm not really too keen on it as I dislike other apps that have that behavior...
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
I'm not asking you to hardcode it to maximum, I'm asking if it's possible to make the priority configurable by the user in the settings? So your app will be "polite" by default, but the user has some extra control to beat the other apps if we really need to?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No as this value is between 0 and 2^31 and the only meaningful values are a low value (or 0) for "don't care" or 2^31 for "gimme the events, I'm the most important app installed on the system!".

No wonder a lot of apps do the later which means media button handling is really broken...
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
Haha, ok. What I'm trying to do now, is find a way to automatically launch BubbleUPnP in the background upon an event with Llama. Some Llama/Tasker/Locale integration to do that would be nice, have you ever thought about this?
[Android Apps and Games] dkman123:
You could try a free app called KeepWiFi. It is designed to stop the phone from dropping wifi during sleep.

I would assume that bubble is taking the same kind of action it would for an incoming call (pausing until you tell it otherwise). I can't say why that would happen for texts though.

I believe the pause is event based, and not easily fixable.

ie, it happens like this:

You tell it to play the playlist.

1. Bubble gets notified that song 1 ended.

2. Bubble sends command to play song 2.

3. Media Server starts sending song 2 to the Renderer

4. Sound starts coming out of Renderer

All of that takes time and leads to the pause you notice. There is no "tell me about 5 seconds before the song is about to end" notification.

Maybe when the renderer is the bubble device it could see that the song is about to end, but then does your environment need 3 seconds lead time or 9... which leads to a lot of hackery, which leads to ugly code or bizarre configuration options people don't understand... which is why I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole as a developer (not associated with Bubble). I hope that helps you understand.

Not sure if I ever saw it on my Nexus 7 2013 but it isn't there at least since some time.

However on other devices i tested (Samsung Galaxy S, S3, Nexus 7 2012) the scroll bar is there!

On all devices tested with Google music with a very long list of artists

Please make it available on Nexus 7 2013, too.

Thanks,

Tommi
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If you are referring to the fast scroller, KitKat introduced some regressions with it and it will show up erratically.

Assuming your Nexus7 is running on KitKat.

Maybe it can be workarounded but I haven't looked into it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What do you want to launch exactly ?
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
You said earlier that one if the requirements to start BubbleUPnP playing with a bluetooth controller, is for it to be already running. So I want to make it run via automation apps like llama when I go in my car, etc, but I want it to launch and run in the background, to avoid having to push the back or home button after it launches.
[Android Apps and Games] tommi.a:
Yes, the N7 2013 is running 4.4.2 whereas the other devices run <=4.3.

Seems Google itself found a workaround as the Google Music App shows the fast scroller.

Thanks in advance for looking into it!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Google Music is always showing the fast scroller. The bug only happens when it is in auto-hide mode. I guess a workaround could be to always show it although it doesn't look very nice.

Bug displaying slideshow / images

Hi,

I have a Synology NAS (DS 112+) with all my picture on it. The Pictures are organzied in subfolder, the structure is displayed correctly so far. I have several folder with >1000 pictures, all in out-of-cam resolution. The ones from the latest holidays are 3968x2232. When I browse the NAS now and select a picture in the folder only a small image is displayed, you can't zoom in or anything.

When I check the metadata of the image I can see that there are three streams:

Stream #1 JPG, 3968x2232, 3 MB

Stream #2: JPG 640x360

Stream #3: JPG 120x68

The Diskstation creates several thumbnails of each picture during the upload. Seems the app can't handle this? Or does anybody has a solution for this?

Kind regards,

Michael
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The image that get picked up (and eventually downscaled, for memory consideration) depends on the resolution of the screen. What is the resolution in pixels of the screen of your Android device, and can you estimate the size in pixels of a photo that is displayed ?
[Android Apps and Games] chaos2oo2:
The Photo that should be displayed has a size of 3968x2232, pictures are taken in 16:9.

My LG GPad has a screen resolution of 1920 x 1200

and that's how the picture looks like on the G Pad:

I picked a Pioneer N30 my config as of now is

Synology ->N30 -> SC-LX83

Apparently Pio uses a proprietary protocol (they usually do this go figure) to play gapless whenever needed, sent from the remote or from their own app (controlapp)

There´s no sdk but at least we know it can be done although presently not on Bubble

On controlapp first run it searches the network for N30 and downloads specific additional data (config file?/template?) so this is can be tested only per unit/model basis and I don´t hold the full knowledge to do this

Maybe some telnet client could listen to what the app sends over the network to look for embedded string and/or commands allowing gapless playback ?

or we could try sending you my controlapp files as they stand presently, if it can be done you could insert it in Bubble

what do you think
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the screenshot. It seems the 640x360 image is picked up over the original hires one.

I'll fix that for the next release.

Still, it would help if you could send me a log file so I can confirm the cause of this issue is really what I think it is (see first post of this topic for details).
[Android Apps and Games] chaos2oo2:
Yeah it pretty seems like the medium one. I will try to write a log file to help you identify the problem. How can I send it to you?

Samsung TV Video Playback

Hi.

I am currently struggeling getting video playback via BubbleUPNP working on my Samsung UE55C6000.

Music works like a charm, but for video I always get an error "toast" with response code 716.

I use BubbleUPNP on the LG G Pad 8.3.

If I enable logging I see in the log file:

[SetAVTransportUR] WARNING - 01:11:02.464 - d : SetAVTransportURI: Error: Resource not found (HTTP response was: 500 Internal Server Error)

I attached the log file.

Is there something I can do to help debugging? I guess there is no way to look at the TV's "log file", is there? I would expect that the TV gives a little more information than only the 500.

Track Details Bluetooth

Hi

Firstly great app, very impressed with the free version that I have just bought a license.

I have a problem displaying track details on my car stereo via Bluetooth from a galaxy s4 with android 4.3. The car is a Kia Cee'd with integrated sat nav.

The car will display the details when using the stock music player on the s4 but not from bubble. I know Spotify also has an issue displaying these details over Bluetooth for which there are various mods on the net.

Is arvcp supported by the app?

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
AVRCP 1.3 (necessary for metadata display) should normally work on any Android 4.3 device since it is the first Android version where it is officially supported. But after some research, it seems that it doesn't work on Samsung devices on 4.3.

Hopefully, there's a workaround that should work and that I have added (with the benefit that it should also work on devices running some < 4.3 ROMs).

That's for metadata. Did you have any issue with car playback controls ?
[Android Apps and Games] minimos:
No, I could pause and skip tracks using the screen and wheel controls in the vehicle. Do you have an eta for the 'workaround' release?

Thanks for the speedy response

Save to sd card

Hi bubbleguuum,

I just tried out your app and I really like it! Better than all the other similar apps I've tried recently.

However, I do have one request. Would it be possible to add a config to save the files locally in a consistent directory regardless of the path you took to get to the file? I am looking to use the app from my phone to connect to my readydlna router w usb drive that contains my entire music collection. I want to be able to download a group of songs for offline listening later.

It seems to serve that purpose very well. Except for one thing - the music files get downloaded to a different sd card location depending on how I found the file - from the artist list, the album list or the song list. This makes it very likely that if I forget I already have a song on my phone and download it again from a different path, the same song will be on my phone multiple times. I've tried changing the keep file path setting but it doesn't seem to help. I hope this makes sense. I'd even be ok with a setting to just dump them all in one directory with song name as file name.

Any help you can offer would be great. I'll probably be buying it in any case since I really do like everything else about it.

Thanks,

Brian
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You cannot download all tracks in the same folder, but if you have "Settings > Dowload > Preserve folder structure" disabled you shouldn't have duplicated downloads. For example if you download the same album from an "Albums" or "Artists" folder hierarchy of your media server, the album will be located in <sd card root/BubbleUPnP/Albums in both case (and not redownloaded if it already exists).

If you have a concrete example of downloads causing you problem, let me know all the steps and the details (media server, whether the dowloaded folder is an album or not, folder where stuff is downloaded), so I can have a better idea.

Synolgy NAS Package

I have been searching this thread as well as I could, but couldn't come up with an answer.

I installed using the synology NAS package provided by winxi. Works great. Thanks for the contribution, if you read this.

The compiled ffmpeg binary doesn't seem to have libx264 support. Is there a way to recompile the ffmpeg binary with it integrated.

Got the serviio server running on that NAS also. The compiled ffmpeg binary there has it, but doesn't use the libmp3lame encoder.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] bgottschalk:
Thanks for setting me straight! I see that the album and artist views do behave as you've described. However, I have another view called All Music which lists all my songs in one big list. I find this useful for searching if I don't know the artist since I have to use local search (ReadyDLNA doesn't appear to support server side searching). If I download a song from that view, it goes in a folder called "Folders/All Music".

Not a huge deal. I just hate the thought of having dupes on my phone.

Anyway - thanks for responding so quickly!

Edit - I've also created a couple playlists and when I go into the view called "Playlists", pick a playlist and download a song from there, it goes into "Playlists/name of playlist".

Hi!

With the latest Version available (I am beta tester) I got the issue in the attached picture.

I cannot forward music or start the music maybe at 2 minutes.

This happens on local renderer and even on e.g. my Denon AVR-X 4000 Network receiver.

I am back to v1.7.6.1 - this works fine for me!

Tried reatart my squeezebox... tried restart squeezeserver...disabled and enabled plugin again and same problem.

I guess its not your app thats the problem becauce other apps that stream from gplay to squeezebox behave exactly like bubble and stops after one song.

Q Is the playlist supposed to show up in squeezserver playlist ? it only shows one song there and all album on bubble playlist.

Download directory

Do you have the album name for the songs in the all music and playlist views?

If so, might it be possible to save to the same directory structure as the other views?

---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

Do these songs come from iTunes? May not apply, but I've seen a lot of the songs that I imported album art not showing the art as well. ITunes shows that the art is embedded, but it doesn't seem to be. If I use mp3tag to add the art to the files again, then they show up. This is true for other dlna clients I've tried so what I've seen doesn't appear to be a bubble issue. YMMV. :D

Me again, still trying to get a full LAN/WAN Android full-fledged server..

Cling claims to have libraries for the 'WAN Bridge' component, but it appears to be incomplete, according to my research. Is this one of the reasons Bubble cannot do WAN-side sharing soley out of Android? Do other options/libraries/workarounds exist that could enable this feature? Cheers!

Without a log file it is difficult to troubleshoot because I have no issue with all my devices.

If you do not see the log file when connecting to your PC (provided you followed the instructions in the first post of this topic), you will be able to find it using ES File Explorer (or another file manager) and emailing it from there.

Ideally it would help if you could send a log file for the beta and another with v1.7.6.1 doing the same actions, so I can compare.

Hi Bubbleguum,

Using BubbleUPnP version (1.7.6.1) with minimserver 0.8.1 as the music server, I download a FLAC file to the BubbleUPnP directory on a Nexus 7 running Android 4.4.2 . I can then see the Composer metadata when browsing the Local Media Server (Music > Composers). If a repeat the same sequence of steps on a Galaxy Tab 3 running Android 4.2.2 (same version of BubbleUPnP, same music server, same FLAC track), the Composer metadata is now missing and shown as <unknown>. The problem does not show if a MP3 track is used.

Is this the same issue you referred to in the above post, which would be caused by a "too" old Android version unable to correctly extract certain FLAC metadata? If so, it is very disappointing considering this a brand new tablet model! I tried activating the "Force own FLAC decoder" setting, but that did not work. Have I missed something, and is there something else I can try to get BubbleUPnP correctly display the Composer metadata ? Or is there a way to update the FLAC layer of a Tab 3 tablet to achieve that ?

Thanks!

openhome renderers on showing up briefly

Hi,

I recently installed bubblesever on my QNAP 421. Installation went fine, and I'm able to see the webpage and set everything up. However, if I create an openhome renderer (e.g., LivingRoom), it shows up only once on my BubbleuPNP on android control point as LivingRoom (OpenHome) and then no longer shows up again. Similar issues with Kinsky... I don't see the openhome renderer.

Any suggestions / advice? At this point, I'm lost... I've tried combinations of restarting the BubbleuPNP, the QNAP as a whole, etc., and I've seen it briefly once, but in general am not able to see the openhome renderer.

Library won't refresh on Bubble UPNP

Bubble UPNP was working great with my Windows computer, both the computer with file sharing enabled (on same WiFi network) and a KooRaRoo media server on my computer.

However suddenly the library on Bubble's side won't update. I changed out files and they are not showing up in Bubble no matter what I do - is there a very significant delay for files to show up? It's 8 files altogether. One movie and seven short (22 min) video episodes.

I was finally able to get them to show up in KooRaRoo's library but every file just says "Sorry this video cannot be played". I transcoded with KooRaRoo.

I ask because it seemed like the first time I added to library they were viewable instantaneously. Now, they are showing up in Bubble even though they have long since been deleted from my shared folder...reload is doing nothing...

Help would be appreciated. I did buy the license and have been enjoying up until now. Tried clearing cache and data for Bubble UPNP to no avail. (Yeah I'm new to all this.)
