[Q]: How to play the SRT file for a film by use of BubbleUPnP

Hi,

I use BubbleUPnP since nearly a year and was very happy with that solution. But now I ran into trouble with it: when I play a video in a foreign language and try to use a srt-file of my languge, I don't find any solution to select and use this srt file while sending it, in a way that I can do on e.g. the VLC player, to the SAMSUNG renderer in BubbleUPnP . The TV itself doesn't support this feature, even if there is a button on the remote supporting subtitles, cause pushing it generates a negativ message, neither when playing the video with samsung way, by choosing the file via the sekected NAS in my network, nore by using the tv as a renderer selected in BubbleUPnP. so what can I do?? Is it not foreseen to do so? Is there a different solution to undergo this problem???

Edit: Not to forget I don't use chromecast of kompatible ones. I stream directly from my tablet with BubbleUPnP to my Samsung TV

Donation to Bubbleguuum

Hi Bubbleguuum,

Having failed to find a way to make XDA alert me via email to incoming private messages, I missed the fact that you responded via PM on 14 August to my post earlier this month asking for guidance on how to send you a donation for all your excellent work on BubbleUPnP. I finally saw your message today and a donation has now been sent.

It was always a source of embarrassment to me that such a excellent app came with such a trivial price tag. My donation is an attempt to put that right. Assuming that you continue to keep up the good work, I will probably make further donations at some time in the future.

I don't see in Settings a way to make BubbleUPnP on Android 12.1 as default Music Player. Of course this is a great application with full of customization and streaming options but how to make it as default Music Player which just start when wired headset is plugged in? I had PowerAmp installed but it cause that MaxxAudio equalizer was doing nothing so I just uninstalled PowerAmp and lost default Music Player which was starting when wired headset was insert. Now I'm searching how to make BubbleUPnP is doing the same.

Second question: would be possible to add to lock screen's widget both buttons: Next song, Previous song as now there are only: Next song and Pause/Play?

Caching big file for HD video streaming

Hello,

First, sorry if my questions has already been answered but I don't feel like reading 959 pages :p.

I have been using BubbleUpnp for quite a while now and that is a great piece of software (almost using it every day, even bought the unlocker;) !)

Usually i use it to stream 720p mkv from internet (from my zenfone2) to my smart TV (Sony w905A) and it is working perfectly (very good image quality i must say)...

Yesterday, i tried to stream a 1080p 3D top/bottom mkv (Guardians of the galaxy). The picture quality is still very good but sometime the video paused for 4-5s then start back...So i was wondering if Bubble could cache 500Mo-800Mo of the video, that might stop the hickups :confused:

Also, I look for the download feature within the app, but couldn't find it !?!

Thanks for your help
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This is weird. Besides 'Virtual Folders' being disabled (which isn't the case), this error message is displayed if the internal storage (eg the internal sd card, where saved playlists are stored) cannot be accessed, for example if it is accessed by a desktop computer via MSC.

In any case, Saved Playlists can be accessed by going into the Library tab and opening the 'Saved Playlists' folder (again, if internal storage can be accessed).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It may work with a media server recognizing srt and exposing it via UPnP/DLNA such as Serviio and Twonky or the Local Media server if the file is on your Android device.

Then, whether it will work or not depends on your Samsung TV model.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thank you for the donation David!
[Android Apps and Games] Stephen Dawson:
Thanks. Of course, after a few days of trouble, from the moment I posted my complaint the program has behaved impeccably. No desktop computer access. Dropbox syncing, but that's about it. I shall see if the problem recurs.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's no setting in BubbleUPNP for starting it on headset plug.

Even if there was, it would probably not work because of other apps competiting for it, with an undefined result.

However, maybe one of the Headset apps on the Play Store can do this.

I'll see but there is limited room in the lockscreen notification on Lollipop. Because Google doesn't allow expanded notifications on the lockscreen if there is a PIN code or equivalent.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Since BubbleUPnP needs to proxy the video, it means either BubbleUPnP cannot download it fast enough for real time playback (either because it max out your Internet bandwith or the server holding the movie cannot keep up), or that the WiFi bandwidth between BubbleUPNP and your TV is not sufficient. There's no magic solution to this problem. If the problem is the latter case, make sure your TV use a wired connection to your router if not the case already.

In Library, it is in the 3-dot context menu of items. In the Playlist tab, you must long-press an item and use the top download icon (need to fix that so is consistent with Library).
[Android Apps and Games] BrimoFan123:
Thank you very much for your replay.

Regarding to headset behavior: I think if you may provide an option in Settings something like: "make BubbleUPnP default audio player" it should not go to conflict with other apps, it just should just overtake this role if other app is registered to handle music files. Moreover: my case is that I have no default audio player at all in the ROM (once I have uninstalled Poweramp) so when I'm clicking on mp3 file in File Manager I'm getting "There is no app registered to handle the type of file selected."

I think adding to your excellent application feature which may register it as default music player may cause more users will be interested to use it.

Regarding lockscreen notification: I remember once I had Poweramp installed their lockscreen notification had more buttons: Next track, Previous track, Pause/Play, Vol+, Vol-. I'm sure you may just make current two buttons (Pause/Play, Next track): a little bit smaller and there you will get a room for one more button Previous track

I'm glad you responded to my requests and looking forward for your decision what to do with them.

Thank you once again.

Hi guys. Don't know if i posted in the right forum, but.... On my old Galaxy S5 in the video player i was able to see and play movies directly from my external HDD wich is connected to an Asus router (nearby devices tab). Now on my new Galaxy S6 Edge i can't do that anymore. Someone knows how can i do that? Thanks!

Hi,

i bought the app in the play store.

please, can you check BubbleUPnPServer-installer.exe path ? file is not found (404)

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dangee:
Thanks for your answer,

I have tried the download feature, but it doesn't work. That says there is nothing to download...

Also, how Bubble handle this streaming thing ? Does it only send the url to the renderer (like the chromecast) or the whole packet (which would explain the hickups if wifi is "full").

Regards,
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
Hi folks, just searched the thread because of the exact same problem.

The app and notification just close without giving any reason on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 with Lollipop 5.1 (Bliss Pop Rom aca CyanogenMod ). I tried the same video with the app "Localcast", no problems at all, no closing. Running smoothly till the end of the mp4.

So it does not seam to be Lollipop related but to Bubbleupnp.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can you send me a log file up to the point the notification disappear ? See the first post of this topic for instruction. In these instructions, you can obviously ignore the step about exiting the app at the end.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Send me a log file trigerring that message. See first post of this topic.

Unlike Chromecast, Internet streams must be proxied by the phone to the Samsung TV. It's not optional: without it Samsung TVs will refuse to play it.

So it goes like this

Internet -> phone -> Samsung TV.

MX Player

Hello, i have a question.

I watch a lot of stuff on my Mobile via MX Player.

Lets say i watch the 2nd Episode of the 5 Season of something, and beeing at Minute 38 and 20 Seconds.

On my Phone inside MX Player, i can very conveniently start at that Position the next time, i got some spare minutes.

When i get home, i want to watch the same File, at that exact Position on my Samsung TV. how would i would do that ?

also there are SRT Files inside the Folder.

here the link, of the Conversation from MX Player side.

http://xdaforums.com/apps/mx-player/feature-request-support-dlna-upnp-t2990742#post62529677

Thx CDB-Man btw.

hope someone has it allready figured out, cus i dont. And i dont want to search inside BubbleUPNP for the file, and Fast forward to a Position, i dont even know anymore.

thx all
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can resume in MX Player for playing on a SamsungTV. That does't make sense.

I have to implement resuming playback to external renderers in BubbleUPNP.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It's not a theme. The color is derived from the album art, which happens to be blueish for this track.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If you mean from different networks than you home network, yes with BubbleUPnP Server
[Android Apps and Games] benjamin3005:
"You can resume in MX Player for playing on a SamsungTV." is this a question ? Is that what i said ? or you telling me, that this is working this way ? did i write that ? now i dont understand it :)

so, if Bubbleupnp will remember the last played Position, that would be great.

i could get used to watch mobile with bubble. I would not need my beloved MX player anymore, but mehh.

also i got the Problem, that SRT files look weird on the Samsung telly. if i feed the TV via USB File, its working ok. So bubble messes up things.

thx in advance.

AudioCast interrupted by Power Saving?

Hi and sorry, if this has been asked before:

I recently got a new Nvidia Shield Tablet with Lollipop 5.1.1 on it and proceeded to install/setup BubbleUPnP (Licensed) + AudioCast (XPosed module) on it. (Almost) everything is working as intended and I can "stream" (via Audiocast) Spotify/whatever audio source to various renderers on my Home Network just fine. But now I see a new behavior that (as far as I can remember) didn't occur on my old Nexus 7 with KitKat:

Whenever my Shield Tablet enters Power Saving Mode (the Screen is set to shut off after X minutes of inactivity) the AudioCast is interrupted. This doesn't happen when I'm playing content w/o Audiocast, e.g. from my NAS.

Is this behavior normal or can I somehow prevent it? I've already checked my tablets settings (WiFi is set to stay connected during standby) but might have overlooked a setting within BubbleUPnP.

I'd appreciate it, if anybody could point me in the right direction :good:

Service won't start, "Could not find service class"

My BubbleUPnP server won't start. I've been using it for years. It survived being ported from XP Pro to Win 7 Pro in April 2014, but after doing a few System restores in the past few days - none going back more than a few days - and accepting Java's invitation to upgrade to Java 8 Update 51, I've suddenly found that the service can't be started. (I checked under Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services - it tries to start it but reports back that it can't).

I've attached the service log file that I found in the program directory after my most recent (of dozens) of uninstall/reinstall cycles. I've tried the three versions I had from 2014 as well as one I just downloaded.

The service log file contains none of the error messages listed on the troubleshooting page. Instead, the error messages I see are:

[Android Apps and Games] Phil Olenick:
Finally beat it into submission!

I was able, eventually, to install Java 8, Update 60, and the Bubble UPnP Service is shown as running in Administrative Tools | Computer Management | Services,

but my phone's BubbleUPnP client still doesn't see my FooUPnP server, and aiming my browser at localhost:58050 gets a 404 Not Found in Firefox 40.0.3 and a Bing search page in IE 11.

I may have caused part of the problem while I was thrashing around before posting here, by changing the network port for foo_upnp inside Foobar2000's UPnP | Server | Basic Settings page from its previous port number to the 58050 port used by BubbleUPnP itself.

What port number should I put on that Basic Settings page?

(I didn't record what had been there previously.)

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------

I eventually persuaded Foobar2000 to let me change the port number, which let foo_upnp start.

Don't know what the port number had been, but it accepted an arbitrarily-chosen one a lot higher than 58050.

Back in business after uninstalling and reinstalling BubbleUPnP server. Only took most of the day fixing it!
[Android Apps and Games] benjamin3005:
Thx for the fast Implementation. I wonder, how many will like this feature. I wonder why it wasnt allready.

With the resuming feature implemented, i tested it. It really worked on my TV. It also worked "weirdly" with MX Player (weird, cus it looked like it would buffer stuff, and load Data ahead into a weird green/grey Statusbar. also MX Player stopped responding a few times. I dont know, how MX player is API called, in file or in Streaming mode, and what the different is, in the handling)

so it was working in both modes, TV Stream, and Local MX. but each had separate saved resuming Positions for the same file.

hope that separatation can be fixed :) also the MX Local Playback doesnt feel right.

thx for all

Multiple devices won't stream simultaneously

I bought a tplink wireless router wr710n with a built in media server to stream movies to several Android devices at once in the car. I am trying it out at home first, and I can get it to stream perfectly on one Android device, however if I try and stream to a second Android device it won't play and just buffers until I exit out of the current playing media, then it will start to stream on second device.

To be clear I am trying to stream two different movies at once on different devices. Not sure if this is a bubbleupnp prob or a router problem. Thanks for the help, I'll try a few more things as I read you will be out until weds. Any help is appreciated, or if someone has a better way of setting up a media server in the car.

Yamaha RX-A1030 "Aventage" series AV Receiver works as a Gapless OpenHome renderer

A side-benefit of my ultimately-successful struggle of the past few days to get my BubbleUPnP server working again was that it brought to my attention the ability to use my foo_upnp-equipped foobar2000 on my main computer (in my 2nd floor apartment) simultaneously as a server and a gapless renderer, under the control of my Android phone, in my apartment - my PC's headphone jack is cabled to my HiFi - it has a very nice 192/24 capable sound card so I use it to play my collection, and internet radio, in my apartment.

When I saw my new AVR , a two-model-year-back Yamaha "Aventage" RX-A1030 AV receiver that lives in my basement theater, pop up as an available renderer in BubbleUPnP server, I told it to create an OpenHome renderer for it capable of gapless playback. Gapless playback wasn't introduced for the Aventage series of AVRs until the following year's models (the RX-Ax040 series), but it couldn't hurt to try.

It works perfectly. Browsing the network for oShare, the UPnP server I use with my Oppo BDP-93, the AVR doesn't play gaplessly. Even using the foobar2000-foo_upnp LAN server proxy it won't do it, but under the loving care of BubbleUPnP my RX-A1030 works perfectly as a gapless OpenHome renderer.

I tested it using both my FLAC rip of Santana's Abraxas and a downloaded mp3 Ry Cooder concert from ConcertVault. Not only can I control playback and volume on my phone, the phone even tracks and shows changes in volume that I make using the Yamaha's own remote. The on-screen display from the AVR doesn't show the embedded cover art, but I have that on the phone - and I can turn off the video display from the AVR entirely (after selecting the BubbleUPnP server and "Now Playing") and just use the phone to run it.

You can add the Yamaha Aventage AV receivers, at least the x030 and later models running the current firmware, to your list of gapless OpenHome renderers. They formally added gapless streaming with the x040 series - they're presently up to the x050 models.

The Yamahas - even the newest ones - won't stream multichannel FLACs - so I'll continue to use oShare and my Oppo for that - but I won't have to make "gapless" versions of stereo concerts anymore by pasting the tracks together into one huge file.

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

do you have any news on this?

I have tried to change the "Downloads" settings but when I choose the external sd option, I can select the SD in the (external?) view being opened, but that application/action just locks as soon as I select external memory and asks to send report to HTC.

Trying with the internal options lets me select the sdcard2, listed either as:

/storage/ext_sd

/sdcard2/

but in every case it fails to download anything, it just stands with the notification icon (tried both a dedicated folder and just the root of the sd).

Ideas?

Ty

[edit]

Well, I didn't check it doesn't download even if I set the folder as the default root internal one.

Do you have any ideas why? I'm downloading from the BubbleUPnP Server which works flawlessly when listening.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I cannot reproduce this. Can you please send me a log file triggering that error (see first post pf this topic for logging instructions) ? Also

please mention if you have an All-Access subscription or not.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The video resume feature is only implemented for streaming to external renderers.

For local playback, it's up to the video player app used to eventually implement it at all (eg MX Player does it by default),

but it is entirely separate from BubbleUPnP.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It's the media server that assign dates (possibly looking up metadata on online sources and making mistakes) so I have no idea.

If it gets date from video file tags, you can try modifying these.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Theorically it should work, if network bandwidth is sufficient. But I really suspect the Android device WiFi to be limiting here...
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thank you for the report. Glad to learn about new gapless renderers that work.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Urgh. That's a HTC or Android bug then. That system folder chooser should not crash.

You may want to google this issue for more info. I vaguely remembers there's a crash

if the sd card happens to not have a volume name.

This cannot work as the app doesn't have write permission this way. There no other way

than to select a folder on your ext sd card via the 'External SD card' choice (see above).

It should work if you use the default folder. If it doesn't, please send me a log file (see first post of this topic for instructions)
[Android Apps and Games] ErMeglio:
That's true, it doesn't have any name written where I click! How to change it...by pc?

GREAT!

I used an external reader, given it a name=> it works now, no FC :)
