Many thanks bubbleguuum. Your rapid reinstatement of Album and Composer info in the Now Playing screen is also much appreciated by my friends Mozart, Beethoven and Mahler... :)

I don't really understand why you made that change. It appears to be an example of fixing something that wasn't broken!

The reason it came to my attention was that I accidentally muted the sound just after the recent upgrade and it took me a minute or two to realise what had gone wrong. A loudspeaker icon without 'waves' still looks like an ordinary loudspeaker and it lacks any obvious indication that the speaker is disabled (unlike the previous muted icon, whose meaning was totally clear without any need to make a comparison with the unmuted icon).

Now that I understand the meaning of your new muted icon I will probably not be confused again, but I suspect that plenty of other people will suffer the same initial confusion as I did. It's not a major problem, but this small reduction in usability does not seem to be balanced by any obvious benefit of the new icon design. I suggest that you consider reverting to the previous muted icon (or something very similar).

Old friends who could have envisionned that awfully long music titles can be problematic on a phone :p.

However I improved again on that, allowing to display more of the titles and other metadata.

Icon has changed because I needed to be able to dynamically set the icon color according to the theme, and that was not possible with the previous icon set.

There's no betas currently. Send me a new log with v2.0.1 playing a video with subs to your TV. No promise that I can ever fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I will post 64 bit binaries with https support (important for Google Drive and Google+ transcoding support to Chromecast) very soon.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The only think I can think of is that BubbleUPnP 1.x is complied against an older client Google Play Service lib than BubbleUPnP v2, and that this older GPS version may have a specific issue with Android 2.x.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the digging and info.

The proper solution would be the architecture agnostic PPA package installs eitther the 32 bits or 64 bit ffmpeg static binaries depending on the install target arch. And a 32 bit version that has no issue with name resolution...

Hi. I have some problems with Audio Cast feature. It's wont work with LPCM audio format (error 501), and when I choose WAV, it's glitching out app, but apperently working, with some lag... and I'm not sure with audio quality...
[Android Apps and Games] haggis999:
Thanks for the explanation. I should have guessed that you would not have made such a change without a good reason.

David
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Are you using XBMC 13 ? If that's the case, LPCM is fixed in the next app update and has no lag (unlike WAV).
[Android Apps and Games] uszasty:
Oh, yeah, forgot to add, XBMC 13. Thanks :)

Well, the latest version seems to have fixed (don't ask me how) the problem of not advancing to the next track in a Playlist, on my CM'd Nook HD+. But there's a remaining observation I have regarding search speed. It's really very slow on my tablet. Compared to a donate-ware UPnP player (it starts with a "U"), BubbleUPnP takes just about literally 10 times as long to do the same search through my 14.000+ song library - well over a minute. If not for this I'd be a happy paid owner of this great app. Is there anything I can do to increase the search speed?

Cant seem to get it right

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anybody could help me resolve this error?

HTTP: ERROR: cannot reach external server to perform test: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

HTTPS: ERROR: cannot reach external server to perform test: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

sorry if somebody already posted about this, I cant seem to find it if they have lol. thanks

BTW: I'm pretty sure i have my ports all sorted out and I installed then newest version of java as well.

I bought your application at very beginning I know its great potential! Since latest update it's even better now we have the possibility to read the TS files recorded with Freebox v6 (no more use an Explorer for this) additionaly we can watch TV multipost (with MX Player) Maybe you can add this in the application description?

Great work! Thanks:thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What is your media server holding your library ?

It is probable that BubbleUPNP emist a server-side search request that is dead slow on that server. You could disable server side search by unchecking Settings >UPnP Tweaks > Enable server-side search but in that case you will only be able to search the displayed folder in Library.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Enable Audio Cast logging in Settings > Audio Cast, reboot and send me the file Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp/audiocast_log.txt at bubbleguuum@free.fr.

Hi bubbleguuum,

Great app!

Here I am wondering that if bubbleupnp can act as a stream proxy, not just transfer url to some renderers.

Sometimes videos can only be viewed on my phone, so just sending the url to renderers doesn't work.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] frad:
Hi Bubbleguuum,

I came across your app in the Android Market last week and it's been great! I have a Drobo running miniDLNA which I use to serve media around my house. With BubbleUPnP I've been able to easily access this server on my phone and stream my videos. It really works seamlessly. Recently I've also been using it to play videos to my Samsung TV (remote renderer).. I used to be able to do that from the Samsung TV on screen GUI before, but it is so much easier to browse and select media from my phone and then have it play on the TV. I had no idea that UPnP was capable of this sort of media "pushing" and "remote control". I've already recommended this app to quite a few of my friends.

I plan on buying the full license so that I can use the Bubble Server to access my UPnP servers remotely... one thing though. It says in the FAQ that video transcoding is not yet supported, but that it's on it's way. Is this something that is soon? It is the only thing holding me back, because I mainly stream video and my internet upload rate is not fast enough to stream my videos as they are.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the feedback. I will certainly add video transcoding in the near future. Probably a few hardcoded transcode presets will be available, with the ability to create custom ones specifying the full ffmpeg command line. Presets will be selectable in the client, in BubbleUPnP.

Java ME

Will I be able to run BubbleUPnP Server against a Java ME environment? In other words, will Java ME fulfill all the dependency requirements for BubbleUPnP Server?

Denon AVR 1912 Problem

hi,

first of all: Great app! Bought it some time ago. Totally worth the money.

My Problem: I can't skip through tracks while playing music on an Denon AVR-1912 AV Receiver -> There is always Error 501 when i try to jump to a specific time. I tried to search but found nothing on that issue so far. Anyone else with a Denon renderer and the same problem?

Buffer?

Hi Bubbleguuum,

I tried out bubbleupnp with the server on my Synology NAS, but the problem is that I live in CO, where the mountains have less-than-perfect connectivity, so the music kept stopping.

Can bubbleupnp buffer songs when streaming? And if not, is this something which could be added without tremendous difficulty?

Thanks, Carl.
[Android Apps and Games] abgestumpft:
Hi Carl,

Do you have transcoding enabled in the network settings? I have QNAP NAS with 1.6GHz ARM CPU: here transcoding of a song takes longer than track runtime -> gaps when playing transcoded music.
[Android Apps and Games] vulcanfk:
This is a great app! I have multiple UPnP servers on my home network, and BubbleUPnP recognizes them all. I have this installed on my Transformer Prime along with MX Video Player, and the combination lets me stream my shows/movies to any TV by connecting via the HDMI cable.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I don't think it will.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is probable this renderer does not support seeking. You may want to record and send me a log file as explained in the first post of this topic
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
New version 1.3.1.2 i available on the Market, with many fixes for the local Media Server and other fixes and tweaks. Thanks to all who reported issues and sent log files and tested prereleases.

fixed several Local Media Server issues

fixed fullscreen setting not working

fixed "Item tap action" setting not honoured on videos to external renderer

workarounded ReadyDLNA Duo bug making movies unlisted in Library folder if covers present

workarounded ALAC not playing locally if misidentified by Media Server

added support for media playback keys found on headsets and GoogleTV. Can be disabled in Advanced Settings

added ability for other apps to open BubbleUPnP with a local file or http URL for streaming to the selected renderer (ex: Pocket Casts, file manager). Requires license

added setting to disable the Local Media Server

added "Show Composer" option to show/hide the Composer line in Now Playing

added "Last.fm..." action in a track's context menu, if the official last.fm app is installed, to show artist info

added action to clear the default video player in Settings > Local Renderer

when playing a video locally you can choose to always open the video app chooser menu instead of launching the eventual default player, by disabling Settings > Local Renderer > Use default video player

tapping an item in Library now plays the item by default. Old behaviour (playing all items) can be set with Settings > Item tap action

do not start the Local Media Server on Android 2.1 (unsupported)

various fixes
[Android Apps and Games] Carl314:
Abg, I do have transcoding set. But my problem is that I may be out of range for 10-20 mins at a time, so was reqlky thinking of a several-song buffer.
[Android Apps and Games] abgestumpft:
I don't think it would make sense to have such a large buffer. It should take minutes before playback starts. In your situation it should be the best to use the download feature of BubbleUPnP and play the songs locally.
[Android Apps and Games] Cowboybuck:
Thanks bubbleguuum

Thanks for the replay, sorry so long delay bubbleguuum. I connect directly to my windows home server and in the devices tab in Bubbleupnp it show Windows Media Connect. I do have tonky server on there but most people disable it cause it is so slow. As I said in last message when i connect to the server direct there is no album art but connecting through media player that in turn connects to the server...i get art. A few days ago i reinstalled the media smart server OS due to performance issues and now i get no response from media player as a device and can only play if I connect to the server direct.

What setup should i have for most optimal response times and one that shows album art?

Also tonight i noticed that Even when I connect to the media server directly I only get 43 folders when in actuality I have many more than that. Can you tell me what may be limiting the visibility of all the folders in the server?

Render a file from Synology NAS to a Samsung c6000

BubbleUPnP is not able to render music stored on a Synology NAS to a Samsung c6000. I always get a 716 error code. Also with Flac I get an error for wrong format even if the NAS is configured for transcoding. Checking the advanced option about MIME check doesn't help (at that point I get a 716 error too) Please note in the same conditions, 2Player Network works with mp3 and flac without problem, so I suppose something is wrong with the connetcion to the Samsung DLNA.

I'm using 1.3.1.2 licensed

[Android Apps and Games] xaps:
Sweet! Thank you very much, bubbleguuum. Your software is just great and still keeps getting better, awesome job.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
With the next version of Pocket Casts you will be able to stream podcasts directly to renderer without downloading first. And with podcast title and cover art displayed.
[Android Apps and Games] xaps:
Sounds perfect! Awesome. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Carl314:
You are right, of course. At the risk of beating a dead horse, since Bubbleguuum has not responded one way or the other, buffering was the wrong word here.

I really meant to suggest preloading songs for playback, not buffering. (Subsonic allows you to preload 3, 5, and maybe even up to 10 - I can't recall). Then, presumably, bubbleupnp could delete the preloaded songs either upon exiting the program, or when they were removed from the playlist.

Cheers, Carl.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No plan to preload tracks but this wouldn't solve your bandwidth problem.

Ideally you want BubbleUPnP Server to transcode your files to 128K mp3 (or more). But for that, you need ffmpeg on your Synology NAS and it can be tricky to install. If you have a PC that is always on, you can instead BubbleUPnP Server on it instead, as the Windows Installer has out of the box transcoding support.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This happens if the Internet machine doing the conection test attempting a connection to BubbleUPNP Server on your network, fails to respond in time (timeout). The cause is unclear as generally a failure to remotely connect is instant and trigger another error.

Can you try connecting to BubbleUPnP Server from Android BubbleUPnP, performing the connection test here, preferably connected to another network than your LAN (eg mobile), and report if it works or the error message if it can't connect.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If you mean general transcoding to any renderer that's not possible. The only transcoding supported is for Chromecast through BubbleUPnP Server. BubbleUPnP Server LAN media server proxies can also do limited transcoding of audio to LPCM or WAV for more DLNA compatibility.
[Android Apps and Games] haohaolee:
Not actually, what I want is just to proxy the stream, without decoding and encoding.

Background:

Where I live youtube is not allowed, so I always use VPN to watch youtube on phone. But VPN does not work for TV currently. That's why I need that.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If you use semperVidLinks to send youtube (and other items) to BubbleUPNP, I believe semperVidLinks always proxy the streams it manages.

As for BubbleUPnP, it automatically proxy external streams (cloud, streams sent from other apps) when it determines it is required for the renderer to play the stream at all. You can force always proxying in Settings > Local Media Server > Use Proxy. This apply to cloud streams managed by BubbleUPnP local media server and streams sent from other apps.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Correction: semperVidLinks does not proxy, at least for youtube. But if Settings > Local Media Server > use proxy is enabled, BubbleUPNP will always proxy.

How do I get my media to stream to a laptop over the internet

I have BubbleUPNP and Serviio both setup to stream files over the internet to my android phone and tablet. But If want to get the same content on my Laptop, which has a bigger screen and better speakers, which client software/renderer should I use?

I tried to get XBMC to work but I couldn't. I was trying to add a source under the video menu and then attempted to put in the same info that I did for my phone to access my media server. Is it even possible to do this with XBMC?

I am on a windows 8.1 laptop currently but will be getting a macbook pro soon, which is why I chose XBMC due to it's cross platform capability.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sort video by date request

I have a large disorganized folder of videos, and would think being able to (reverse) sort

by date would help me get to the latest one added quickly.

I am using windows 7 wmpnetwk as the server. I don't even know if the date is

readily available, but this would allow me to keep my big disorganized folder :)

Now Playing Bugs

[MENTION=237202]bubble[/MENTION] I continue to test the "Now Playing" problem reported above with the "p2" you sent me.

I can now report a number of specific bugs as follows:

Bug#1: From the library menu, if a video X is selected with a long press, and then played by selecting the > icon, any existing playlist is cleared, and the selected video X is added to the playlist and playback begins. If Bubble is then opened and "Now Playing" is selected, video X should display with its elapsed play time and total time, however the "headphones" icon appears with no title, showing elapsed 0:00 and total time of the previously played video. Selecting the >> icon will correctly display the selected video X (showing elapsed time 0:00 with the local MX renderer and the correct elapsed playback time with my Samsung TV renderer) along with the correct total time of video X. The fix is to display the video X from the playlist immediately in the "Now playing" window along with the correct elapsed playback time with the local MX renderer.

Bug#2: From the library menu, if a video X is selected with a short tap, it will immediately start to play, however it does not clear and update the

playlist with video X, and so when "Now Playing" is selected it will either display the previously playing video or the headphones if the playlist was empty, and there is no way to resume the playback of video X, except by selecting it again from the library or by selecting the MX player directly.The fix is to clear and add the selected video X to the playlist when it is played with a short tap just as is done with the > icon.

Bug#3: When returning to the library menu after selecting video X to play, a "play bar" appears for a few seconds at the bottom of the library window showing the name of the video played prior to video X. Selecting the play icon just plays video X so it appears to serve no purpose and should not appear.

Bug#4: On the "playlist" menu, long pressing a video highlights it in yellow, and changes the header line to "DONE Select-items Delete-Icon + Download-Icon", however if you then change to the "Now Playing" or "Library Menu", the header line stays the same and does not revert to the correct header lines for those menus. You must return to the "playist Menu" and select "DONE".

Server

Hoping someone can give me some guidance in clear non-tech language!

Issue is that I have my music stored on a D-Link NAS drive which is connected to my router and I access it on my phone/tablet or my streaming device (Cambridge Audio NP-30 Sonata) remotely.

I would like to be able to access the music on the NAS when away from home via a laptop (either my own if I take it, or someone else's) and I assume that the Bubblesoft Server is the way to do it?

The NAS drive does not have Windows natively installed on it, just Twonky. I have been told that "You can install BubbleUPnP Server on any machine on your network. The easier way is to install on Windows as it includes everything needed." My question is does this allow me to do what I want to do? If I take the laptop with me (i.e. off my home network) then can I still access the NAS remotely using the Server?

Hope what I am aiming to do is clear - let me know if I am missing anything!

I have two servers on my Win7 x64 system, both fed by Ethernet - Logitech Media Server and something called eLyric Music Manager which is the server for my PS Audio DAC.
