Enqueue Entire Playlist?

I've got my old Nexus S set up to play background music over a building-wide PA system. I tried using BubbleUPnP so that I can use my new phone (Moto X) to remotely enqueue a playlist stored on the old phone. On my Moto X, in BubbleUPnP under the Devices tab, I select the Nexus S as both the Renderer and the Library. I select the playlist from Library > Virtual Folders > Saved Playlists > [Playlist Name]. Then I choose "Play shuffled" from the menu.

This works fine as long as I've got BubbleUPnP running on my Moto X but as soon as I exit, the Nexus S will play to the end of the current song and then stop.

I suppose the reason for this is that my Moto X is enqueuing each song one-at-a-time instead of the whole playlist at once. Is there a way to enqueue the entire playlist at once so that I don't need the controller running on my Moto X at all times? Bonus points if I can remotely shuffle the playlist and set it to repeat all.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I don't think I received your log. For just Chromecast transcoding , there is no need to enter BubbleUPnP Server connection settings: it is automatically detected on the LAN. If it is detected, Settings > Chromecast settings are not grayed out.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
For that, you must make your Nexus S an OpenHome renderer in Settings > Local Renderer > OpenHome renderer.

Then on your Moto X, control the OpenHome renderer only (you can hide the non OpenHome renderer in the device list if you wish).

Transcoding on the Pi

I ended up compiling the latest git version and the audio transcoding works! ffmpeg takes about 60-70% CPU when doing the transcoding from AC3.

Thanks for the help getting it running.
[Android Apps and Games] areizer0:
Thanks for this wonderful app! I'm using this to share media from my old android phone to my other devices. But I got this little problem, album art only shows up for the recently tagged/added songs. I tag all of my mp3 with mp3tag so I'm a bit puzzled.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the report. That's interesting an dshows that the Pi can at least be used for audio transcoding (either music or in videos).

Would you mind making your ffmpeg/ffprobe Pi binaries available so others can benefit ?

If you are ok send me a link where I can download it (bubbleguuum@free.fr) then i'll make it downloadable on bubblesoftapps.com.

Googel Music Playlist Sync

Hi Bubblegum,

Thanks a lot for fixing Google Music that fast. Should the playlist Sync be fixed with 1.8.2 as well? I just reinstalled one of my devices and it synced the former playlists before the feature was broken?

If it's still broken (as I expect), do you see any chance to fix the playlist sync in the near future?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Google Music Playlists will be fixed in the next update although sync will now always sync everything (albums+playlist+tracks).

Hi Bubbleguuum

Just some simple question for you.

When I play a video from a DLNA media server with subtitle fetched and showing on my Chromecast. Where is the subtitle-file cached?

Must I have a BubbleUPNP-server running for playing videos with subs?

When the subtitle cant be extracted nor use a srt-file next to the video-file on my DLNA-server what can be the issue? (The video-file is 10 Gigs)

Thanks in advance and for a great app!!

Nice work on the app and server. I've been using it for a few days and have been impressed so I bought a license. I set up BubbleUPnP with MediaTomb and am primary using a Chromecast for playback. However, there are a few issues I've encountered so far:

1) 10-bit video does not display on Chromecast. Audio plays but the display is blank. Not sure if the Chromecast even supports 10-bit video but if it can't decode it natively, can that at least trigger a video transcode?

2) Subtitles embedded in MKV files seem to get stripped when passed through BubbleUPnP Server. This happens on both local renderer and Chromecast. When I stream directly from MediaTomb, subtitles work.

3) Lastly, I've noticed BubbleUPnP Server sometimes shows duplicate Media Servers for MediaTomb. The duplicate shows up in both the Server web interface and in the app but the duplicate eventually disappears. Just a bit odd.

If you want a log for any of this, let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
1. I'll see if 10 bits video can be converted to 8 bits with ffmpeg. I suppose it is 10 bits H264 ?

In the meantime you can try forcing a video reencode by lowering Settings > Chromecast > Max video bitrate to something lower than the current bitrate of your 10 bit video.

2. MKV subtitle extraction is only for Chromecast. Playing (untranscoded) MKV to the local renderer using MX Player doesn't need it because

MX Player handle embedded subs directly.

I suppose you mean that if you access a mediatomb MKV but through BubbleUPnP Server, there is no subtitle extraction ? This is true currently and I must fix it. It was disabled for performance reasons but in reality it can be made to work fine.

In the next version of BubbleUPnP Server, I've made embedded sub extraction much faster if there are several embedded subs (the video is read only once, instead of as many times as subs).

3. Weird. Maybe a mediatomb problem.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No, you only need BubbleUPnP Server to extract embedded subtitles. It is not needed at all for srt.

Subtitles are sent once in the cloud, on the machine hosting the Chromecast receiver app.

I don't understand your question.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If this is an additional sd card, add it as a custom mount point in Settings > Local Media Server > Filesystem > Custom Mount Point 1.

Then it will be listed at the root of the local media server, in the Library tab.

You need the full version of BubbleUPnP for this.

BubbleUPnP with Serviio, subtitles, and two instances of ffmpeg

Hi Bubblegum,

This is my first post/second try. My first post did not seem to post.

I am using BubbleUPnP with Serviio on WinXP and chromecast on a Sony Bravia TV. I am trying to get subtitles to work. For the most part subtitles are working but the video starts and stops. My computer has an i3 cpu so it should be fast enough. When I check task manager I see two instances of ffmpeg and was wondering if this may indicate that there is a problem. Could both Serviio and BubbleUPnP be opening ffmpeg instances? When I stop the video from BubbleUPnP one instance of ffmpg stops.

Serviio has subtitles enabled and transcoding enabled. There is a srt file in the same folder as the video file and of the same name. When I remove the srt file BubbleUPnP plays the video on chromecast with no problem.

Thanks in advance for giving my questions your consideration.
[Android Apps and Games] xlxcrossing:
Here is the log you request for my issue of all media types returning an unsupported mime type error. Nothing streams to chromecast from my home media server. Demo servers work just fine. Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I see that you are using WMP and I think it is causing trouble. There has been another report of stuff refusing to play with WMP although I could not reproduce it. It would interesting you send me the BubbleUPnP Server log file by email at bubbleguuum@freefr ( BubbleUPnPServer.log.0, in the installation directory).

I suggest you try another media server like Serviio that will probably work without this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP Server (if you have installed it) should not do any transcoding, except if you are browsing Serviio through its BubbleUPNP Server definition and have enabled video transcoding in Settings > Network and settings.

Be sure to always browse the regular Serviio server on your LAN (again, this only apply if you installed BubbleUPnP Server).
[Android Apps and Games] LezardV:
Hi everyone!

Awesome app Bubblegum, I use your app every day and I love it!

Just wanted to share with all a way I found to play local .mkv videos with subtitles on the Chromecast easy until this is added to bubbleupnp maybe in the future.

Just search in the play market for an app called "mkv subextractor", it takes like 10 secs to extract the subtitle and make an .SRT and then cast it like any other .mp4 video with Bubbleupnp.

Cheers!

chromecast bitrate setting doesn't work?

Hi,

I'm trying to play an .mp4 video (which was recorded on my Nexus 4) that I transferred to my linux computer (ubuntu linux running mediatomb and BubbleUPnP server) to my Chromecast with BubbleUPnP but it's too high resolution / bitrate and stutters.

So I enabled transcoding on BubbleUPnP and tried to enforce different bitrates on Settings->Chromecast but transcoding doesn't seem to happen at all. It's trying to play it at full resolution even if I set bitrate down to 500/kbps, so it remains super high quality and stutters. Transcoding works when I play the same media on the phone (MX player).

What could be the reason for that? Not sure if it makes any difference, but the computer is on ethernet (different subnet than the wifi), so I manually setup a network in the network settings of BubbleUPnP so that mediatomb is discoverable. Other media I tried (some .avi files) are transcoded to the chromecast fine.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Dificult to say without looking at the log. Send me an Android BubbleUPnP log file playing that video (see first post of this topic for instructions) and the BubbleUPnP Server log file (BubbleUPnPServer.log.0, in /root/.bubbleupnpserver).

Hi, I'm very new to this streaming lark, but yesterday I brought the paid version and have installed the server side, everything seems to be working just fine, can stream films to my TV, Chromecast, Tablet and phone okay, but here come the embarrassing bit, on my PC I have set up a folder with my films in, this works fine with all of the mentioned devices, but when I add a new folder or film to this folder or share a new one, I can't "see" it listed on my devices, just all of the previous films, I'm probably doing something very silly, but any help would be appreciated please?

Sorry for such a basic question.
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
Ok, will do. By hte way, some other files don't play but give me the following error:

Cannot play: media not natively supported by Chromecast.

This LAN media cannot be transcoded by the remote BubbleUPnP Server (only cloud media can be transcoded)

What does this error mean ? Note that this is not a remote server, my phone and computer are on the same LAN, I have the internet access disabled on the server. It's just that the wifi and ethernet are on different subnets but on the same router... and as mentioned earlier other media play, but they are not transcoded. When playing to MX player instead of chromecast, videos are transcoded fine.

Seems like a bug in BubbleUPnP when using Chromecast with the server on different subnet ?
[Android Apps and Games] barthawk:
I think that the binaries that were at the original link you sent will work for most people. The problem was that I was running on raspbmc operating system and the binaries were compiled on a raspian system. I think most people who are just running a server will be using the raspian operating system so the original binaries will be fine.

Also, I'm having trouble compiling my binaries with static libraries. I can keep trying to figure out what the issue if you think it would be helpful.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You get this error because in the usual case where BubbleUPnP Server is used (that is, accross 2 networks linked by the Internet), there's no way for BubbleUPnP Server to access media located in the local network Android BubbleUPnP is connected to. It can only access media stored in the cloud or media accessed through BubbleUPNP server media servers.

It would work in your specific case because the two networks are on the same router. I've made a small change that should handle this case, that should work provided your use a LAN ip to connect to BubbleUPnP Server (and not a WAN ip/hostname).
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
Great, can't wait to try it! I do think its a bug because the media (my dlna servers) are on the same machine as the BubbleUPnP server. So it should be able to tell that...

And I can watch that media with local renderer (MX player) and transcoding happens too. It's only when using the Chromacast as a renderer that I get these errors.

Regarding networks, my Linux machine is also on VPN sometimes (a tun0 interface). Is there a way to make the server ignore it ? Like a setting in configuration.xml to tell it which interfaces to bind to (or which to avoid?)

Failed to Convert 'Embedded' Subtitles

Chromecast Native Subtitles not working with MyBooklive external .srt

I am using Mybooklive DLNA server (Media Server version 2.3.0.12093), that has support to

stream external .srt subtitles untouched to compatible devices, and I can successfully stream

my .mp4 videos stored on Mybooklive to Chromecast using BubbleUpnp, but the external

.srt files are not detected by bubbleupnp.

If i use the native samsung video player, on my galaxy s3 mini cell phone, to direct browse

the mybooklive dlna shares, I can watch the movies with the subtitles, without any transcoding.

Can you see if there is a catch to detect the subtitles on this dlna server?

Also, I suggest that the native chromecast subtitles has font size and colour settings.

Hey everyone I just switched to BubbleUPnP after hearing that it supports Chromecast better than the Plex app does. I just have a few questions that I hope can be easily answered.

As soon as I open up the BubbleUPnP app my WiFi disconnects and then reconnects after about 10-20 seconds. Why is this happening, and is it normal behavior?

My libraries and renderers seem to take a long time to appear in the list. Sometimes they'll show up instantly and other times it can take up to a minute before I see everything.

Lastly, when I begin streaming to my Chromecast using Plex as my library everything starts off fine and then after about a minute, the connection gets lost through the app and my libraries and renderers are blank again.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

A quick update on this front. I just installed the 13.02 beta that came out today and I got it working. Sort of.

My gear is as follows: Nexus 7 with Spotify streaming to XBMC. Mediacenter with XBMC 13.2 and Windows 7. Logitech Z-5500 5:1 set connected to the mediacenter. My settings in XBMC are as follows : audio output: direct sound. passthrough: wasapi. Bitrate: 48mhz or 44.1mhz. In BubbleUPNP, make sure to select WAV as the output method of choice.

Now, when you play a song and tap the app to cast to XBMC, you have to wait about 10 seconds for the music to be heard. There is a 10 second delay on everything, so skipping a song or stopping it all takes 10 seconds for it to work.

Also, during this, you can't use XBMC. For some reason, remote controls are locked to the player and you can't browse any menu's. I don't know if this last bit is by design. I also don't know if the 10 second delay has something to do with the 1000ms buffer I have set up in Bubble UPNP. I know you aren't responsible for XBMC support breaking on your end bubbleguuum, but maybe this will help you get compatibility with XBMC back in working order.

I supposed that the upnp server (via your component for foobar) you developed was ready to be available from WAN access thanks your Internet Access settings? Not only from a foobar client but also from your app on Android.

Why introduce a tier app BubbleUPnP server to be a bridge between BubbleUPnP android and Foobar upnp server? A direct connexion is possible?

[Android Apps and Games] Bronto9:
Hi, today Chromecast have been released in my country(Italy), and I'm thinking about buying it. But first I need to know if what I want to do with it it's possible, so I'm asking you if it is.

Setup:

- Raspberry pi with minidlna(DLNA server) and bubbleupnpserver

- chromecast

- nexus 5/7 with bubbleupnp app

I watch a lot of movies(mkv, video codec H264) with subtitles(srt) embedded. I've seen that bubbleupnp support streming to chromecast with subtitles, but to me it's not very clear how it works:

- is the video getting transcoded, or only the subtitles(supposing that audio/video codecs are compatible with chromecast)? I'm asking about this because the raspberry pi isn't powerful enough for HD video transcoding, and I absolutely don't want to keep a pc on just to stream movies.

- where does the transcoding takes place? On the server or on my android device? I'd prefer not to keep my phone/tablet on, and it could also cause a little lag.

- Is it possible to pause/seek the movie?
