@Roganlover

This happens for everyone since a few days ago and is caused by a new Google requirement for apps accessing Google Drive and Google Photos. Google is now "auditing" developers for accessing these services. It might take a few weeks for BubbleUPnP. Until then, these services cannot be used. Thank you Google for even more annoyances towards developers !

@psychofaktory

Are you using always the same container that you initially created as described in the documentation ?

With this method, the configuration should persist across launches, stored in the install directory in the container (/opt/bubbleupnpserver).
[Android Apps and Games] psychofaktory:
I use the official container in Unraid.

I have set up everything as described in the documentation.

The container was set up initially and is only started and stopped. But it is always the same container.

Other settings like the public hostname or the login data remain.

I've had no problem with my bubble server and media on a raspberry pi4 running Ubuntu and bubble app on an android device, in fact it is working great; but I can testify to that Google stuff from another angle. Something similar is happening with Google cloud bookmarks in file manager apps, as well as the apps posting new updates to playstore in a timely fashion. Boogle!

Dear all,

I would like to install bubbleupnpserver on ArchLinux.

I usually use Debian/Ubuntu, so I am somewhat=completely ignorant on ArchLinux installation procedures.

And of course I have problems, or I would not be here.:)

I have tried "paceman -Syu bubbleupnpserver" but it does not find this package.

Should this have worked, or should it be done differently?

BN

PS:

Now I have educated myself regarding the AUR and how it works.

I have downloaded the source, built the package with makepkg, and successfully installed bubbleupnpserver.

Case closed.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
An alternative is to run the Docker image.

Hi @bubbleguuum , first of all thanks for this excellent app, I have been a licensed user for many years.

I have a suggestion to improve seeking in long podcasts, not sure if this has been suggested here before, I didn't have time to read all posts.

I would like to be able to easily seek within a long title/podcast. If the podcast is 2 hours long for example, it's not easy to seek to somewhere in the middle with good precision.

How about if the user long-pressed on the position/seek bar, then a small magnified section of that bar would pop up to enable to seek with better precision?

I'm aware of the seek to position functionality and also of the long-press next to seek ahead 30s. That's good, but for me that magnified seekbar would be more comfortable.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@ernie142

I understand your request but this is difficult to implement without an entirely custom seekbar control (that you can find in some other apps with advanced seeking features, especially video player apps).

I'm a longtime user of bubbleupnp and recently got an android head unit in my car (Teyes CC3). Bubbleupnp works and looks excellent on it! I've attached a few pictures so you can see it in action.

There are two features I'm curious about, possibly they are already implemented and I haven't realized it.

1) Is there a way to make it so that bubbleupnp automatically starts playback as soon as you open the app? It's no big deal it would just save me a button press each time I turn on my car.

2) Right now I'm testing with a usb drive but my plan is to load all my music from a big SSD attached to the device (to save on mobile data). However, it didn't occur to me until I was testing that when you do things this way there is no index and you can't browse the files by artist/album/etc.. it is just one big folder. Is there some way to make it build an index for external storage or to make it so that I can browse external storage the same way I can browse ordinary local music files?

Thank you for your time, this is an awesome app!!
[Android Apps and Games] Leroy_Sparks:
I'm experiencing an issue I'm hoping for some help with:

I'm attempting to cast tunein radio to a harmon kardon reciever via bubble. In tunein I select share which opens bubble and the stream begins to play on the reciever, but 30 seconds later the stream stops. I can press the play button in bubble ans it begins playing again only to stop again 30 seconds later..

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] ekce:
Update: I resolved this using a couple other third party apps for my head unit called `widgetupdater` and `musicproxy`. Now when I start my car it automatically opens up upnp and starts playback of the last file that was playing. In case anyone else ends up trying this I just had to manually write a MusicProxy.cfg with bubbleunpnp's info. Musicproxy has an `Autoplay` featuer that automatically launches and starts playback when I start the car, the only drawback is that it doesn't resume playback where it left off (I have the setting enabled in bubbleunp but I think this is since is because of the way musicproxy works) but that's no big deal. I'm happy to say that first question is resolved.

I'm still wondering about my second question though.

Hello

i have an issue with Qobuz streaming. Sometimes the sound is cut/paused less than 1s.

My internet bandwith is 1Gb.

I don't know if the problem is related to Qobuz ou Bubble app!?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@fabien_m2002

To which renderer are you playing to ?

Try enabling More > gear icon > Renderer settings > (pick your renderer) > Use Qobuz proxy.

With this option enabled, make sure your Android device is not too far from your WiFi router.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@ekce

Nice pictures! thank you for the kind feedback.

The categorization available in the Music subfolders (in Library tab) is done by the Android media scanner, a system component.

It does not index removable storage, so the only remaining option is to browse by filesystem folders.

Some music apps have their own media scanner that can be configured to browse any storage, but not BubbleUPnP, hence this restriction.
[Android Apps and Games] fabien_m2002:
I use Devialet Phantom renderer (upnp).

I know proxy can solve it but i fear latency?

If i install bubble server on windows, it can fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] nickeli55:
I have a samsung tu8000 series TV, where DTS audio is not supported. I am running serviio media server on a NAS and on a laptop on the local network. Bubbleupnp server is running on the laptop.

My problem has been getting files to stream correctly to that tv when the files have dts audio (located on the NAS). Without transcoding enabled on serviio they play the video, but audio errors out, not supported. I have changed my rendering profile in serviio (on NAS) for the tv to convert the audio to ac3 (transcoding now enabled); however that only works when i use the tv's built in player. When i use bubbleupnp to cast it it come us with an error, resource not found, code 716. Since the tv's player can play it fine i dont think anything is wrong within serviio, but rather somewhere in bubbleupnp.

Any help would be appreciated. I have a lot of files with DTS or DTS-HD.

Log file attached of trying to play 1 of each with this error occurring.
[Android Apps and Games] Umahawar100:
is there any solution for this? I'm not able to log in to Google Drive and Google Photos 🙁
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@Umahawar100

See this post
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@nickeli55

For Serviio to serve transcoded videos via BubbleUPnP, you need to go into Serviio profile settings and configure the BubbleUPnP profile as if BubbleUPnP was your Samsung TV. So, also associate the TV profile you are already using to BubbleUPnP.

If the problem persists, record and send (bubblesoftproducts@gmail.com) a log file, attempting to play a video.

@fabien_m2002

Are you having this issue only with HiRes tracks ?

BubbleUPnP Server or might not fix it, but if you try it, install it on a wired machine. You can try make your Devialet an OpenHome renderer and control it with Android BubbleUPnP.
[Android Apps and Games] fabien_m2002:
yes with hi res track particulary.

I tried to install Bubble server and OpenHome renderer but Devialet Phantom is not ready OpenHome, so bad.

Hi

I installed Bubbleupnp server on my ds212+ via packages. All seems working but if i connect to the server via internet, an user/pw authentification is requiered. but i did not set it yet

i dont have any clue where it lies on the filesystem so if you want some logs please explain how to get it (like you would told to a 3y old child :))

thx 4u Help

(sorry 4 my bad english :)
[Android Apps and Games] winxi:
Hi, you can enter the web-interface of BubbleUPnP Server by clicking the corresponding icon in the DSM's main menu. There you can set user and password. Note that you have to forward ports 58050 and 58051 (for https) to the IP of your DS to be able to reach BubbleUPnP Server over the internet.

You can navigate to the application directory of BubbleUPnP Server with the filebrowser of the DSM (/homes/bubbleupnp/appData). There you will find the log-files.

Now I noticed why I missed the Alphabet.

On my Tablet A700, the alphabet is not shown if I hold my tablet upright (um, like a DIN A4 paper). If I scroll I don't get the scroll bar and thus no alpahbet.

Furthermore will there be a search with coverflow :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] skeal2k:
i really really like bubbleupnp. using it mainly as a upnp control point for twonky serverside and noxon iradio 300 or xbmc etc

so i bought it but:

the only problem i do have on my nexus 7:

in landscape mode there is no volume-control where in portrait mode is all visible

on my samsung galaxy s3 there is everything working in both modes
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It must be a device specific issue because I cannot reproduce this.

What happens if you start the app in portrait orientation ? Does the scrollbar appear ?

Also, the scrollbar is shown onli if the list contains more than 50 items.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Are you sure you do not meant the opposite: volume slider always shown on Nexus 7 and shown only in portrait on the S3 ?

On phones there is no room to show the volume slider in landscape, thus it is not shown. However you can still use hardware volume buttons.
[Android Apps and Games] skeal2k:
ok well .. was confused sorry :)

yeah on s3 there is no volume slider shown at all...

but i would greatly need the slider on nexus 7 in landscape mode... seems to have enough place, doesn't it?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes. The slider is shown by default on the nexus7 and tablets in landscape and portrait. In the Settings make sure "Show volume slider" is set to "On (Portrait Only)". The "Portrait Only" doesn't apply to tablets, so it is always shown.
[Android Apps and Games] skeal2k:
Sadly on my n7 there is no slider in landscape. The setting is also checked

after everything works like a charm... is there any chance of sending any android sounds to a upnp media renderer?

like watching youtube videos on tablet and sending only audio to foobar2000 or watching movie as local renderer and only sending audio to foobar2000 (with foo_upnp)

so like a live splitter of video and audio?

Hi,

I just installed the qpkg version of this on my NAS, I get the link to access it remotely i.e. http://hostname:58050, but it prompts me for a login and I for the life of me can't find the default login credentials for it.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] winxi:
Hi, you should be able to reach the web interface from your local LAN with http://localhost:58050, where localhost is the IP (or the hostname) of your NAS. There is no password required to enter the webinterface from your home network. In the webinterface, you can set a password to reach BubbleUPnP Server over the internet.
[Android Apps and Games] x2dazee:
I will try it when i get home, I currently installed it remotely at work and when i installed the qpkg file the link works over the internet but the prompts me for login credentials which I havent setup and I can't find the default login anywhere.

hopefully there is no pw prompt at home.

problems with volume-control

hi, during playing with my new receiver (which works great so far, btw, also in connection with bubble) i found two bugs/problems, both with volume-control via bubble. i don't know if it's these are compatibility-problems or simple bugs.

when i display the volume-slider, it sometimes "forgets" the right setting of volume and just displays 0. the "real" value is of course still the old value and unchanged. it's no problem setting a new volume with the volume-slider. i found that this happens when a re-orientation of the device is happening. for example, when i change from portrait to landscape and back, the volume-slider reproducable shows a volume of 0.

controlling volume of playback-device via the hardware-volume-buttons of android buttons is not possible anymore! :( this definitely worked in some previous versions of bubbleupnp. i can confirm that the advanced setting "volume keys" is enabled.

greetings,

airflow
[Android Apps and Games] x2dazee:
Hi,

I managed to get everything working via mobile device, except for the transcoding option I believe on my config page the ffmpeg options are greyed out.

Could anyone advise of how to install the plugins so I can setup the transcoding settings.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] mbze430:
I just started to play around with your BubbleUPNP client. I also have a Twonky v7 server on my LAN. I normally access my media via VPN. However my VPN server limitation is that it must be on a different subnet. When BubbleUPNP scan for devices on the local network, will it only scan the subnet?

My next question is... how come you don't give the user the option to enter their own DLNA server address? PlugPlay allows that, and it works well. Because of the way PlugPlay allows manual Server input, you can even just open up the DLNA's server port and by pass the whole VPN session.

Maybe it's a feature to be consider in the future

And if that is not a future add on. Will there be a BubbleServer for Kirkwood based NAS?

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's not possible to dissociate video from audio
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Is your Devialet wired to the network (Ethernet) ? If not, try it.

Other than that, you can try have BubbleUPnP decode the FLAC to WAV and serve that to the Devialet (without loss of audio quality), in case the Devialet has a specific issue with HiRes FLAC decoding: More > Gear icon > Renderer settings > FFmpeg audio decoding > All audio formats. With this, make sure your Android device is not too far from your WiFi router.
[Android Apps and Games] fabien_m2002:
Phantom are wireless.

I just listent to a song which is not HiRes and dropouts. So it's not relative to only HiRes tracks.

[Android Apps and Games] nickeli55:

@bubbleguuum

Hi!

I'm willing to put bubbleupnp (docker) behind a reverse proxy, problem: web interface is accessible over the internet.

Is there a way to turn the web interface on/off entirely from configuration.xml? If it's not currently possible, is it something that you could implement in the future?

Or what would you recommend to get this setup working?
[Android Apps and Games] simonMBUK:
My Google speakers (Nest and mini) keep losing their BubbleUPnP OpenHome proxy. I've searched the forum and found something about an Onkyo doing the same and it looks to be linked to the UDN changing, as in the configuration.xml there are multiple UDN profiles for each speaker e.g. Office speaker.

What I don't understand though is that the disappearance was linked to a server reboot (that BubbleUPnP is installed on), unless of course they're a bit sticky until BubbleUPnP server does a reboot?

I was wondering whether it would be possible to add an option in the interface to instead have a profile link to an ip address, as they're all statically assigned?

My google speakers are on vlan 192.168.30.0/24 and MinimServer and BubbleUPnP server are on 192.168.20.0/24, with mdns repeating between the two. This has always been stable apart from when the OpenHome speakers disappear.

I have a couple of Sonos speakers that this doesn't happen with.

Thanks for your support.

[Android Apps and Games] Craig Rogers:
Has anyone noticed that Chromecast Audio devices have received a new firmware? Since the upgrade my setup no longer works.

Both devices have been upgraded to 1.56.281627, I'm not in the Preview Programme so its not a pre-release.

I have BubbleUPnP server running on Windows 10 along with Twonky and use the BubbleuPnP app on my android devices. I have 2 Chromecast Audio devices setup as Openhome renderers and until a few days ago worked perfectly. I have been tearing my hair out to try and find the issue and then noticed that both devices no longer work as Openhome renderers. If I try and load tracks into the playlist on the app I get the following message

"There was a problem completing the operation: current state of service prevents invoking that action. Failed to acquire lock in milliseconds: 10000".

MY Sony amp which has a built-in chromecast continues to work as an Openhome renderer so it does seem like it is the firmware on my Chromecast devices which is a problem. Using the Chromecasts directly as the renderer still works ok, so they function ok, but not as an Openhome renderer.

Just when everything was working soooooo sweet too.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@Craig Rogers

I could reproduce it with same firmware, thank you for the report. Since a recent firmware, a Chromecast Audio refuses to play a track if in the metadata sent by the client (BubbleUPnP Server) there is an http URL pointing to album art (that it can't display anyways). I've made a fix (not sending album art in that case) and it will be in a BubbleUPnP Server update in the next few days.

[Android Apps and Games] darrellkavanagh:
I'm trying a new setup as follows: old android phone plugged into analogue amp via headphone socket, running BubbleUPnP for use as a remote renderer. Current android phone running BubbleUPnP to be used as the controller. Both installations are running the latest BubbleUPnP. (3.5.8).

Using Qobuz, I really need gapless (classical music), but when I enable it, I get tracks repeating, usually playing twice before advancing to the next track. I can tell when it's going to happen - if, when the track changes, the track name does not update (although the time bar does change to reflect the length of the actual track playing) the track will repeat, this time with the title display updated, and then when the second play completes, it will advance to the next track in the playlist, and the process repeats.

the sequence of events is this:

Track 1 plays: title shows "Track 1" time bar shows length of Track 1

Track 2 plays: title still shows "Track 1", but time bar shows length of Track 2

Track 2 plays again, this time with the title updated to "Track 2"

Track 3 plays, title still shows "Track 2", but time bar shows length of Track 3

Track 3 plays again, with title updated to "Track 3"

Track 4 plays with title still set to "Track 3"... and so on.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@darrellkavanagh

Qobuz streaming is already more complicated that regular streaming (say FLACs stored on your device on a NAS) but gapless Qobuz has even more possible causes of problems.

Can you check if you ever have this issue if you play to this remote BubbleUPnP renderer a gapless FLAC albums stored on your controlling phone or on an external media server ?

Other than that, you can send me a log file (recorded on the renderer) playing a gapless Qobuz album until the problem happens.

See first post of this topic for logging instructions. Make sure in your email to tell which track repeated (title).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@Craig Rogers

BubbleUPnP Server 0.9-update42 is released. In particular, it includes a fix to make Chromecast Audio working again (and possibly other Google Cast renderers without video output) as DLNA and OpenHome renderers.

Changelog

To update, go into the web configuration, Settings tab, Update tab, then "Check for update".
[Android Apps and Games] Craig Rogers:
Brilliant! Thanks for such a quick fix. Tested and seems good. There does seem to be a slightly longer gap between tracks than before but just glad to have it working again.
[Android Apps and Games] darrellkavanagh:
Sorry, I thought I replied on Saturday.

The behaviour is the same playing local files. Another thing - the title updates on the renderer (but not on the controller) when seeking forward in the track on the controller.

Also, strangely, gapless track advance works fine when using an ancient BubbleUpnP on my Amazon Fire Stick in my other room.

I've sent the requested log to your support email.
