these are cool products but when my thunderbolt is charging the screen becomes unusable. it won't register touches and typing becomes impossible.

Ditto.

I got an ebay elcheapo for my ipod touch...it's rated at 1Mah...

Most of the time the touch screen is unresponsive and erratic.

Unplugging from it cures it instantly.

I ordered the HTC factory charger as a result to have one at home and office.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Sweeny Russ:
I only use aftermarket chargers, and I think it has more to do with the kernel than the charger itself. I have experienced this issue with Iso's and adrenelyn's but they charge faster. Ziggy I've had no issues with using the phone while charging and ziggy's kernel packs the biggest quadrant and linpack punch but not so great on the battery. A little off topic but fyi, because I have been playing around with this.

P.S. Really the best thing that works for me is to just to swap batteries in the evening time and if you are streaming something then again before bed time. Its like $12 with shipping for 2 1500mah rip off batteries that aren't as good as stock but more than enough to get you through the day.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] dajogejr:
Hmm...Interesting. I've only used Adryn and Imo's as well...or other's variants of Imo's.
[Android Apps and Games] radeon_x:
Looks like an awesome app - all the features I want... BUT it is not currently recognizing my Synology NAS (upnp/dlna). Win 7 media player works great.

EDIT - Sorry it did eventually show up. It would be nice to have some asynchronous loading notifications. Also, if I queue up an entire genre, for example, it takes a looong time to load/start playing (thousands of songs). Otherwise looking good.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the feedback.

I'll think again about async loading notifications (I suppose you mean loading of folders here), but I do not like the additional clutter they involve.

For the second point, the playlist is not designed to handle thousands of tracks. What what your exact use case ? Doing shuffle on an entire genre ?

--------

I updated the first post with an Android Market link to install the app.
[Android Apps and Games] radeon_x:
Yeah, exactly. But after using it for a while, I don't mind the delay all that much since it only happens on the initial adding the songs to the playlist. Once the songs are added there are no slowdowns.

No other complaints really - hands down the best functioning and looking UPnP audio player on the market.
[Android Apps and Games] jonengland:
excellent app, works great with PS3MediaServer

minor issues:

reports search as not supported but I guess that's a PS3MediaServer problem?

doesn't show any album art

I have a DLNA TV (LG_42LD790) but it doesn't show up as a renderer, only local renderer available

how much are you going to charge for the unlocker?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, it doesn't support searching at all.

I tried PS3MediaServer and it is not the best server you can find for audio (only folder browsing, no search, some bugs in returned data).

I found 2 bugs in less than 1h usage :p

It likely doesn't expose any album art to the app.

Most DLNA TV are not remotely controllable to push content. You can just browse from their interface to play content.

Undecided yet but it won't break the bank :).
[Android Apps and Games] jonengland:
Correction: album art is working ok with ps3mediaserver, think I must have been playing tracks without art, doh!
[Android Apps and Games] adwinp:
1: has the potential of being better than upnplay (although the latter is free & ad-free)

2: needs a landscape mode (or use system/sensor detection)

3: exit on back key press

4: ability to add WAN server

5: use built-in player (like you already do for music types) for divx+mp3,x264+aac,mpeg2 files (detect via 4cc and/or extension - avi,divx,mkv,mp4,mpg,mpeg,vob,m2v)

open external player for other file types (mov/qt/rm/ac3); the system, hardware renderer should be able to decode most of the aforementioned files, thus eliminating the need for an additional app expressedly for that purpose (vplayer/mobo etc)

This COULD give you an edge over the other upnp/dlna solutions, since none of them provide this functionality (yet).

My Setup: Twonky Media Server and WD TV Live as Renderer!

This setup works fine with other apps, also on iOS...

BubbleUPNP looks really good, BUT:

- the timeline / song progress bar (dont know how you call it) doesn't work (even if use the setting 'use other...')!

-> so as a result, the next song in the playlist doesnt play :)

So by now, the app is useless. Would like to use yours, all the others work, but yours seems more smooth and has a better usability.

Looking forward to some updates!

Would def. pay for this if the issue gets fixed!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the feedback

2. Not a priority for the initial stable version but in consideration for future versions. Landscape is mostly useful for tablets as it is the natural orientation.

3. You can exit the app via the "Exit" menu action found in the Now Playing tab.

4. definitely on the todo list although probably not in the first stable version

5 in consideration for a future verson
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for reporting, it is a sign that the app has trouble getting timing info from the WD TV Live. There's logging inside the app that should be able to tell why and allow me to fix it. Can you record a log file following the step below, and send me the log to bubbleguuum@free.fr:

- launch the app

- go into the Settings page (Menu > Settings) and then in the Advanced Settings section

- check "Enable logging to file".

- IMPORTANT: Exit the app using the "Exit " menu item found in menu of tab "Now Playing"

- restart the app.

- handle the app to trigger the problem

- connect your phone to your PC or MAC and mail me the file /Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp/log.txt found on the SD Card

Using as Renderer and Controller on two devices

Hi,

I am using your app to control my old HD2 (CM7) connected to external speakers with my Galaxy S2.

I am having some issues that when I start it up to control the renderer and the renderer have been running for some time, sometimes it will not find/connect to the renderer.

If I restart both apps then they will usually pick up and connect to each other again. I am not sure if this is my HD2 going to sleep in some way that makes it not being visible. But it will still continue to play music from my upnp server (WMP7) though I can't control or add new tracks...

I will put both devices to log when I am home later tonight and send you some log files that hopefully will help.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Cheers

Jonas

I just upgraded my SGS from stock 2.2 to CM7 and fixed today a WiFi connectivity issues that is related to sleep mode. It is not CM7 specific but related to how the WiFi chipset operates when going into power save mode.

So look forward to the next beta which should be out soon.

Using WMP as media player

Hi,

I just installed BubbleUPnP, and it looks really great. I already tested a few similar apps (2Player, Andromote, etc) but it's definetely the most impressive and promising one.

I just encounter a small problem when I enqueue a few music files and then launch the playlist. it sends each file to WMP but directly goes to the next one until the last one. So, only the last file is read.

A workaround is to launch the playlist with only 1 item, and then add other items while playing. Don't know if the problem comes from BubbleUPnP or WMP...

Also FYI, my Synology is well recognized, as well as my Samsung LED TV.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for reporting, I can reproduce this issue so it will likely be fixed in the next beta.

Can you try playing a video on your Samsung TV an tell me if it works ?
[Android Apps and Games] lambomanx1:
I haven't tried it as there is no point, being a BubbleDS user already (and loving it, might I add...feels like a factory app and works far better than anything on the Apple side). But just out of interest, will this be a separate product or will BubbleDS be merged with it?

Sent from my Desire HD
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP and BubbleDS will remain separate apps (mostly to avoid to clutter BubbleDS with unneeded stuff).

The next major version of BubbleDS will be updated to use the same codebase than BubbleUPnP, which will bring some fixes and even some new functionnality (Shuffle Library).

As a bonus, BubbleUPnP will be a free app to use for BubbleDS owners, as it will act as an unlocker.
[Android Apps and Games] lambomanx1:
Thanks for the clarification :-)

Hi bubbleguuum,

great - 1.0.2p2 works flawless with NP2500 & NP2900 - the log file shows plenty of bad GENA XML assuming your code is quite busy with repairing Philips's messed up XML-output.

Tested with all kind of tracks & formats played from a Pan-European mediathek.

If you want to do further experiments with Philips NP2x00 - let me know.

Thanks a lot for your great support and also for your foobar contributions.

Your Android ctrlpt. is clearly superior to all other solutions tested so far.

bg,

umgfoin.
[Android Apps and Games] rkirmeier:
Picture support

Could you please add picture support to BubbleUPnP? Even if you simply pass the processing off to another built in app like you do with video processing.

Also, would be nice to have access to local storage for pushing pictures/video/music to a different device/renderer.

Thanks!

2 Issues

First of all, I like this app a lot as I think this has the best UI among the others I've tried and makes it easy to manage different media servers and renderers.

My setup is Windows 7 Home running WMP12 with Media Server or MediaMonkey server playing over DLNA to Onkyo network receiver NR-709. My phone is Samsung Captivate running Android 2.2 I have two issues:

1. Bubble UPNP erratically fails to play the next file on queue on the playlist. I've tried checking the alternate track advance but still doesn't work. This can happen after playing the 1st of the 5th track, basically random. Also happens no matter what media server I use (Windows, MediaMonkey, Twonky, etc.). This makes the app pretty unusable since I can't finish my playlist without lifting my phone.

2. When accessing Windows Media Server on my desktop PC, it gives me the error message: Browse error: Current state of service prevents invoking that action. Connection error or no response received. Note that I'm able to access my Media Server using another app like 2play. However, I can access my desktop PC if use MediaMonkey and not Windows Media Server. I also can access Windows Media Server on my laptop which has significantly fewer files (My desktop server has over 80Gb of music). This leads me to believe that this is a problem with how the app interacts with large Windows media servers.

Sorry for the long post. Anyway, I'll be happy to send you a log file.

Thanks,

Mark
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. PM'ed. short version: next version of BubbleUPnP has workarounds for Onkyo bugs messing track advance

2. Semi-known problem although I'm not sure of the exact cause. It looks like WMP is slow on first request with a large library. I'll investigate and probably increase the timeout.

Support for playing media from phone storage to renderer?

Love the app and was able to uninstall all the others I was playing with as a result. One question however before I shell out for the unlocker. Are there plans to support playing media from phone/device storage directly to renderer? Essentially allowing the device which Bubble UPnP is installed on to act as a media server like some of the other similar apps do? (i.e. 2Player, Skifta etc..)

Thanks.

Mike
[Android Apps and Games] jer1956:
Try installing a third party Upnp server. Scan should detect it like any other server. IMHO Bubble Upnp should be left as a DMC, a device which routes media on Upnp servers to DMR's. Most DMR's deal with generic ISO codecs, not the tweaked version used on phones. That's why so much phone media converting software exists. You would be streaming unplayable media most of the time.

Hi,

I really want to buy this license, but because of Google's policy can not do it on the market. Is there any place where I can buy a license other than Google Market?
[Android Apps and Games] olli69:
So far streaming to my xtreamer sidewinder 2 via bubbleupnp (great app!!!) does not work. The attempt always ends with the timeout message. I am almost sure that it would work with a longer timeout as already mentioned occasionally before. Is it possible to allow the user to change the timeout setting or to increase it in general?
[Android Apps and Games] erandhawa:
I've read great things about your app and would like to test it on our Playbook (i know I know most people here are android fans). The playbook now has an android app player and I've got the tools to convert the apk to a bar file and test it for you if you'd like. You can check our info here:

Mediatomb

Hi everybody,

I'm using BubbleUPnP on my Nook Color (cm7) to access a mediatomb upnp server. When I start BubbleUPnP I get the attached error message. This happens a view times and then BubbleUPnP works just fine. This did not happen with older versions of BubbleUPnP. Other DMC don't have that problem. Any idea for a solution of this problem?

regards

rom169
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes it will be possible in a future version, although keep in mind that streaming from phone will drain the battery quick.

Not possible at the moment. If your device does not have the Market I'd try to install it, googling around. Or is it that Google will not sell in your country ?

Timeout is greatly increased in the next version coming next week. It should solve the problem. If the issue persist with some devices I will make it configurable. Note that it will also fix the same problem appearing intermittently with WMP, and possibly other slower Media Servers.

Will be fixed in next update, see answer above
[Android Apps and Games] hogar123:
Unfortunately Google does not want to sell your license in my country. Honestly do not know why but ...

Great app!

I have An htc desire, An asus transformer and a popcorn hour a110. Tried several upnp players, but they lost touch with the popcorn hour. Timeouts, repeats of he same song, different song on he screen and the player....

Yours does not lose sync, andere plays it all. I even tried connecting my fedora server wit ushare and it was found and functioning immediately.

One thing, it does not count play times.

Widgets

Love the app, bought a license within minutes of seeing the smooth UI.

WDTV/mediatomb issues

I am using a WD TV live as renderer, and mediatomb on my linux server as media server. I am having the same problems with playback stopping after each track as others described here.

I am not sure what the source of this problem is - the renderer or the server?

If this is an issue with the WD TV live, which DMR is fully supported and can be recommended?

Likewise, if this is a problem with mediatomb, which DMS should I try (under linux)?

Thanks in advance

K.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It's in the todo list although not high priority

It's the WDTV live. It doesn't transmit its playing state reliably when pushing notifications to the app. It must be polled to work which is super battery inneficient...

Is your model this one? :

http://www.surcouf.com/F-10494-lecteur-multimedia/P-173882-western-digital-wd-tv-live-media-player

I might pick up one to fix it and never hear about it anymore :).

Hide icon "BubbleUPnP license" from drawer please.
[Android Apps and Games] kuminamoya:
@bubbleguuum: (I am not allowed to quote your post due to forum rules regarding URLs...)

Hehe, yes, that´s the one. If you buy one and fix the problem, I promise to donate 10 Euros :)

However, if it´s so inefficient to constantly poll the device I´d still be interested in a similar device (in a similar price range) which works flawlessly. Any hint?

Thanks a lot for your efforts!

P.S. I like your app so much I already bought it (without a fully functioning DMR), and I am thinking about buying a device which cooperates fully with your app.. somewhat strange ;)
[Android Apps and Games] abgestumpft:
Hi,

I'm also one of the happy Bubble UPNP users and I also own the WDTV Live mentioned.

Advancing to next track problem behaves like this (in my case):

Once a track is finished the playback is stopped at current track.

I then can just push "next track" followed by "play".

This usually does it for me.

Is this something BubbleUPNP could do (e.g. as workaround once WDTV Live is detected)?

The alternate track advance option is not working for me: here it seems I end up in an endless loop changing tracks.

Sebastian
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the support. It looks like your WDTV will be useful for music finally.

I got one today and found the bug in the WDTV. In fact is is an old bug that I reported on the WDTV forums early 2010 and that is still not fixed today:

http://community.wdc.com/t5/WD-TV-L...n-eventing-bug-attn-to-developpers/td-p/23976

Now for some reason I *totally forgot* about this bug which I just rediscovered.

The good news is that playlist advance will work fine in the next version.

As a side note, the WDTV supports FLAC playback but does not claim to support it (another bug). To play FLAC, "Mime-type check" option must be disabled in the advanced properties.
[Android Apps and Games] pvdeejay:
I think the distro running on your nas has a default way on how to start services. You may need to create a link to the bubbleupnpserver.sh script somewhere or point to it in a config file.

Alternativelly you can just add a & "and" symbol to the end of your command line to run the server in the background so you can then logout from the console. This way you will still need to run the server manually after the reboot.

Greetings

Downloaded files

Please excuse me if this is a really stupid question, but once I have downloaded files is there anyway to bin them via bubble upnp? Quite happy if it's not possible and I need to go via a file system explorer type of program but it's worth asking just in case.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It means the WDTV cannot play this file for whatever reason only WD knows about.

Make sure your WDTV runs the latest firmware available for it. Eventually reboot it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, that's what I meant by "workaround". XBMC and PS3 Media Server are the only one I know sending totally made up mime-types not respecting the type/subtype format.

I bought the app instanly, best upnp client for me. It would be awesome to have the client work when connectend over VPN. I know there is bubbleupnp server but I don't want to have my PC running when there is a dlna server already.

When I create Playlists and save them while in my local network. I can play them afterwards when connected to my VPN.

The only thing not working is the discovery of the dlna server. Maybe there could be an option to add the dlna server manually by entering the ip adress.

development

Working on a project and have found some significant advantages of using this software.

I do have a few questions,

Do you offer enterprise licensing or large volume licensing of any kind?

Does the software have the ability to use a custom skin to lock down configurations and layouts of controls?

Is there an ability of remote management of the installation?

Can the interface be locked so that a user cannot change the setup, possibly administrator control levels?

Also can you recommend and hardware to encode live audio inputs, would a sonos connect provide a input? Or is there a similar product that you may now of?

Thank you..
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Another user having the same issue reported that it seems to be a bug of the latest WDTV Live SMP firmware, and that reverting to the previous firmware fixed it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Not possible currently but I will fix it for the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No plan to support VPNs (which as you mentionned, do not support discovery).

If your Media Server is running on a NAS, there are chances you can run BubbleUPnP Server on it.

It has some advantage over a VPN, including transcoding and reducing bandwidth a tad.
