Hi.

I used the free version of bubbleupnp during several months to listen my music on my nas with a chromecast audio.

I didn't have any particular problems with it so few weeks ago i decided to purchased the license version.

Since, the music doesn't pass to the next track when the screen turn off. No problem if my phone is in charge (the screen doesn't turn off in this case).

No problem with others apps (Deezer, Tunein, Mixcloud, ...). So no problem with my wifi connect.

I followed the steps on the first page of this thread but I have no logfile on /Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp/. Only a folder 'files'.

I'm disappointed to be more annoy with the license version than the free version.

My phone : Huawei Honor 5C / EMUI 5.0.1 / Android 7.0.

Thanks for your help.

Edit : I found the log.txt. I have two folder com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp with a log.txt on each. I send you the two.

Answered by email. Looks like a weird bug in playlist track advance to Chromecast when the screen is off, supposedly only on some ROMs.

Will look into a fix for the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=9024579]peterrbaulch[/MENTION]

There is no workaround other than to play these videos with the non OpenHome renderer which will handle the transcoding.

Not ideal I know, but video transcoding cannot easily be added to OpenHome/DLNA Chromecast as transcoding is a paid feature of Android BubbleUPnP

and OpenHome/DLNA Chromecast renderers can be used independently of Android BubbleUPnP.

I still haven't tested Audio Cast on Oreo as I do not yet have a device running Oreo.

I'm aware of this issue as someone already reported it not long ago with a log file, and it turns out

that the module seems to load properly but fails to hook a BubbleUPnP function to indicate it has loaded (which is unusual

and could indicate a Xposed issue), hence the error. I'll look into it but a fix will not be immediate.

Recurring problem with renderer recognition (Denon AVR-X1000)

I am using the (paid/licensed version of) Bubble UPnP for years now and I am very happy with it.

One problem occurs since some of the last versions of this nice app. Some new versions fixed it but some bring back the behaviour - and so the current one (v. 2.9.3) does.

In affected versions of the app, my Denon AVR-X1000 renderer is found in the local network but it is listed as "Unnamed device". With this version, the device does not turn automatically on when starting a playback on Bubble UPnP. When I start the device manually, Bubble UPnP is able to use it as renderer.

In faultless versions of the app, my Denon is listed with it's network name and it starts automatically, when receiving data from Bubble UPnP.

The behaviour appeared some versions ago, was intermediately fixed, came back with a new version and so on. The second last version fixed that problem. The current version brought it back - so the problem is currently "active". Since the dis-/appearance has a direct dependency to new versions, it seems to be obvious that it is reasoned by the app.

Are there any other users who are affected? Is there an idea to fix it permanently? I will gladly assist if more input from my side is needed!

Best regards!

First up both the Bubble app and server are excellent. They have changed the way I listen to music in my house via Chromecast audio.

There is just one problem I get and I cannot seem to crack it. Running the server on my PC and using it to create a dlna renderer for Chromecast audio group. Then use mediamonkey to play to the dlna renderer either direct or using the mediamonkey server via bubble Android app with license. However seemingly randomly the playlist will stop at the end of a song. Sometimes every song, somes after a couple. Mediamonkey to internal player works fine. Anyone have the same problem and/or found a fix?
[Android Apps and Games] PsychodelEKS:
it seems to be possible with MX Player, at least, I have an app which marks a file as viewed, if you finish watching it in MX Player (not if you quit the player till the end).

[MENTION=1651124]creepingcreep[/MENTION]

Do you have this issue playing to a single DNLA'd Chromecast Audio (eg not a group) ?

Also any reason why in Android BubbleUPnP you are playing to the group as a DLNA Chromecast managed by BubbleUPnP Server rather than the group as a regular Google Cast device (eg with the Chromecast icon) listed in Android BubbleUPnP (EDIT: I see you also use MediaMonkey to control the DLNA renderer) ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=9031914]nicobee[/MENTION]

I doubt this (very weird) issue is specific to a BubbleUPnP version and it must be caused by something else.

Maybe this renderer detects BubbleUPnP as a new controller when its version changes (the version number appear in some http headers made to the renderer) and do

something weird. Can you send me a log file when your Denon is listed as "Unnamed device" ? See first post of this topic for logging instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=703584]PsychodelEKS[/MENTION]

I'll check if MX Player has a way to indicate it exited because the video finished playing naturally (vs user exiting MX Player).

Cannot transcode using NAS

Hi [MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION],

I just bought a Synology NAS DS718+ (Apollo Lake) hoping to use BubbleUPnP Server to transcode unsupported media for Chromecast with my Android Phone.

The only package I have installed installed is the BubbleUPnP Server v0.9 Update 30 and the lastest version of BubbleUPnP on my Android Phone.

Using the default ffmpeg (v2.7.4?) I can neither transcode audio nor video.

Error log below (real link has been masked):

Then I installed ffmpeg (v3.4.1) from Synocommunity and use ffmpegDir and point it the newer ffmpeg, I was then able to transcode audio without issues.

However, the problem is transcoding video still fails, I've included the relevant log in the attachment, can you please check what the problem might be? I am not certain if the issue is related to the ffmpeg from Synocommunity or BubbleUPnP itself. If the issue is ffmpeg related, what is your suggestion to get both video and audio transcoding working on a DS718+?

The highlight of the attached error log should be:

Another problem since I upgraded to Oreo (S8+ on Verizon, running the latest BubbleUPnP server and app): my license disappears periodically, I have to Force Stop it, exit the app, then restart and it's fine. For a while, until it loses it again.
[Android Apps and Games] macelaru:
Howdy guys.

Since yesterday I'm an owner of a ChromeCast 2.0 and I bought BubbleUPnP app of course. :D

Everything is fine but for the love of God I cannot see subtitles on my movies. I have Simple DLNA as media center, BubbleUPnP server on PC (Windows 10) and app on my phone. For some reason sub is not loaded. It has the same name as movie but is not shown. If I upload it on Google Drive and load it from there is fine but it's not an elegant solution.

Using same SimpleDLNA, Plex app and Plex server subtitles are fine out-the-box.

Using only Bubble app and Serviio server subtitles are fine again.

I'm missing something? I really want to use my SimpleDLNA and Bubble app/server to see subs on my movies.

Thanks for any ideas. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=2084427]simplydat[/MENTION]

Weird libx264 error that I have never seen before.

Googling around old posts, it looks like libx264 may want option -vprofile instead of -profile:v.

Not sure why it fails here but it surely has to do with how ffmpeg was compiled and possibly the libx264 version.

Anyway, I suggest you try ffmpeg binaries from optware-ng:

http://bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver/#optware_ng (follow instructions in paragraph "Install ffmpeg binaries with Optware-ng")

If you do this, make sure to remove the -ffmpegDir option. On startup, BubbleUPnP Server should pick up optware-ng ffmpeg binaries (in /opt/bin) automatically if present,

which you can check at the beginning of the BubbleUPnP Server log file.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=6403697]macelaru[/MENTION]

You can bet that "Simple DLNA" does not support associating subtitles to videos. When a media server associates subtitles to a video and transmit this info to BubbleUPnP (Such as Serviio and others), it is indicated in BubbleUPnP in the video item with text "subtitles (media server)" next to the container name. For example: "MKV, subtitles (media server)".

So with this media server you have no other choice than to use opensubtitles.org in BubbleUPnP to associate a subtitle (3 dot menu on video > opensubtitles.org), or to manually associate a local srt after you play a video (in the Now Playing tab, speech icon).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=7125384]Mr. Odd[/MENTION]

Can you qualify "disappears periodically":

Does it mean that when it happens you see ads in the Library tab and/or 'Settings > About/Help > Version' does not display 'License found' ?
[Android Apps and Games] macelaru:
That's the answer which I was afraid of. :(

Thanks a lot man for your answer. I'll try to upload subs on my Drive and use them from there because I really want to use both your app and server. :good:

Bubble to Chromecast audio

Hi,

I am trying to stream mp3 (from local or nas) to chromec audio via bubble. Some (rare times) it works. Usually the play button in bubble doesn't react on pushing. Google homes says: "just playing" but without a play button in the middle. After 5 Minutes at least Google home screen changes to the stop button in the middle but the progress of the song is on 0:00. Maybe the communication is extremly slow but wlan between the devices is sufficiently fast.

Had a 1 hour conversation with chromecast support, everything reinstalled. No help. Recommendation to contact bubble support.

So what may be wrong?

Thanks Karsten
[Android Apps and Games] Mr. Odd:
My apologies, I should've been specific. What happens is I'll be playing songs and the "License not found" box pops up. Going into About/Help doesn't indicate I have a license. I then Force Stop the license app, exit and restart the main app and it then says I have a license. This works for a day or so and then it happens again. I've rebooted my phone as well, and I have both the regular and license app unchecked from the battery optimization.

Playing all videos in a playlist (DLNA and Chromecast) Solution and Request

Hi bubbleguuum,

I have been unable to play all videos in a playlist until yesterday. The playing video would finish, I would have to reset the destination (Chromecast or DLNA TV) and manually start the next video. I suspected that it had something to do with the screen blanking even through I expressly allowed BubbleUPnP to use data even after screen blanking and disabled any power saving settings related to BubbleUPnP. I could not find ANY setting that allowed me to turn off screen blanking (sleeping) even though I have all power saving settings turned off.

On to the solution, I tapped build number in Settings to turn on the Developer menu entry in Settings. In this menu entry is the "Stay awake" (while charging) setting which I turned on. I plugged in the Tablet to charge, otherwise the "Stay awake" setting does nothing. I launched BubbleUPnP and played a playlist of 10 videos ( first to Chromecast and then to Samsung TV DLNA) without failing to play next.

On to the request, I see that there is a permission called "prevent tablet from sleeping". I believe this would do what I did manually above to achieve the solution, but hopefully without the need to plug in the tablet for charging.

Could you include this permission in BubbleUPnP? Or perhaps something that could be turned on in the BubbleUPnP settings to prevent sleeping if it is required, to give people a choice?

Thank you for kind consideration in this matter,

Rob McVittie

Song skips to next, possibly due to CP wifi change

Hi Bubbleguuum,

My setup:

Library on NAS (Synology DS213j)

Media server: bubble on NAS

Renderer: bubble on Nexus S wired to speakers, on 2.4GHz wifi

Control point: bubble on Nexus 5x, usually on 5GHz wifi, sometimes jumps to 2.4GHz

Recently (possibly since getting new router with 5 as well as 2.4GHz bands), tracks frequently skip midway through, often when I'm moving around the (small) house, and therefore possibly (but not definitely) related to the CP phone changing wifi bands. Thing is, it also happens when I'm in the living room (where all the kit is) and I'm not moving.

I don't really understand where the playlist is stored or sent to but I'm surprised that the state of the CP device (on or off wifi) would cause changes to the renderer (only 2.4GHz band, is an old phone) or the server (on NAS which is LAN plugged to router).

Any thoughts on what might be causing this or what I could do to solve it? Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] twiceaswide:
Hello bubbleguuum,

sorry that I come back here again with another question...

I am running Bubble UPNP Server on a Synology NAS (DS418play, intel CPU). To be able to transcode qobuz flac to wav (or lpcm) on the fly, I have installed the OptwareNG's ffmpeg package. This works fine. (My streamer, a naim uniti1, does sound much smoother with wav instead of flac.)

Unfortunately with activated transcoding the naim app does not offer the possibility to fast forward or backward inside of the playing track any more. When switching off the transcoding (so going back to flac) it works again.

Is this a bug in the Bubble UPnP Server or is it technically not possible to activate the in track navigation together with transcoding?

Thank you

Gert
[Android Apps and Games] creepingcreep:
Yep seems to be any Chromecast turned dlna using the bubble server . Just keeps up with the random track stopping, so annoying and seemingly random.

I move between bubble app and mediamonkey desktop so made sense to use the bubble server to make a dlna server for media monkey to play to direct. Also playing from media monkey to the bubble server created dlna group means media monkey does the volume levelling job very well.

However As I can't seem to fix the track stopping problem playing from media monkey to the bubble server. And I see the bubble app now has added replaygain setting i will try and use the bubble app to control the regular cast group and mediamonkey dlna server instead.

Integration with voice commands

I am trying to bring together a couple of tecnologies and I was looking for some help. I've got minidlna + Bubbleupnp server running on an Ubuntu box. In term of render I use a Jam Symphony. But my question is about the Control Point.

The Bubbleupnp app works a treat but I recently got a Google Home hack (RPi 3 in a cardboard box with the button on top) and I am trying to integrate it into my house. Now, voice commands can trigger commands (Python). The idea would be to be able to say "OK Google stream <playlist ?> and the renderer not Google Home would start playing it.

What I am looking for are few pointers on how to share playlists. - I guess here we're talking about Open Home So different users in the hourse can interact with the playlist using the Bubbleupnp app and their voice. To be clear I am aware that there are limitations in term of browsing the media server with voice commands. But the scenario that I envisage is setting some 'fix' playlists that can be invoked and played using Google Home but any other changes taking place in the app.

In very practical terms the question is, is there any way to script into Python a call that will pull a locally saved playlist and upload it to the renderer and stream it? With the same playlist then appearing in the Bubbleupnp app?
[Android Apps and Games] Uoppi:
When trying to add files to playlist I sometimes (but not always) get an error in Android BubbleUPnP: "Track 'Modified or deleted item' not available" (or playable, can't remember which), and that URL is missing. Then it appears a folder named "Modified or deleted item" is created.

What is this error? MinimServer is normally shown in BubbleUPnP and I can browse all of my Library without any problem. I am not 100% sure but this may be somehow connected with having switched from WLAN to LTE (I'm using MinimServer + BubbleUPnP Server for mobile access).

BubbleUPnP has no error message with such text, so it likely originates from the renderer if it happens when you play a track.

You can if you wish send me a log file, triggering this error message. See first post of this topic for logging instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=686155]mcapri[/MENTION]

BubbleUPnP Server has no hook for external control.

However, OpenHome renderers managed by BubbleUPnP Server can be controlled as any other OH renderer, for adding tracks, initiate playback and so on. You could look at the OpenHome spec to see how to do such things but it can be fairly non-trivial with SOAP calls involved.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=5923778]twiceaswide[/MENTION]

Seeking in transcoded WAV should be possible. If you wish, you can send me the BubbleUPnP Server log file (BubbleUPnPServer.log.0 I think in /var/homes/bubbleupnp/appData), attempting to seek in a transcoded WAV. But before that, make sure to stop the server, edit configuration.xml and set enableStreamProxyRequestLog to true, then restart the server.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
[MENTION=1496529]dez93_2000[/MENTION]

Any change in networking (loss of WiFi, Wifi <> mobile data, change in WiFi band) is a thermonuclear event in BubbleUPnP as its networking system will be entirely restarted. Notably, if BubbleUPnP is controlling a renderer when this happen, control will stop.

If you WiFi connectivity changes all the time (which is not normal), you may have a better experience making your renderer and OpenHome renderer with BubbleUPnP Server (http://bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver/)

Hello [MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION]: I will send you the logs via email in a few minutes.

Hi [MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION],

I'm having issues playing internet radio (aka. Shoutcast/Icecast) with the current BubbleUPNP release.

I used to be able to open .m3u playlists and play the Shoutcast links embedded in directly with the BubbleUPNP player, but with 2.9.3, BubbleUPNP now pops up the external player.

It used to be able to play the music with the built-in player until very recently.
