If you have modified public ip/hostname in the "Network and security" tab, make sure you either entered an ip address (1.2.3.4) or a hostname if you have one (myhost.blargh.org). Also double check on your router that NAT rules are there redirecting incoming connection on port 58050 (and 58051 for https) to the same ports to your LAN machine running the server.

maybe report it to arkMc ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
it is not supposed to appear there: Bubble UPnP Server IS NOT A MEDIA SERVER.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The renderer probably stops playing for an unknown reason.

You can send me a BubbleUPnP log file if you wish, playing Audio Cast until it stops (see first post of this topic for instructions).

Also:

- check if you have the same issue with another renderer

- check if it keeps playing keeping the phone screen on

I have recently installed bubbleupnp and bought the licence. I have been using the Audio Cast functionality (using xposed) to send the audio from my podcast app to my Sonos speaker!

90% of the time, it works great, but the rest of the time it stops playing for a few seconds, and sometimes it disconnects completely!

Also, it still shows "free version can only be used for 20 minutes", even though I have bought the licence? Is this normal or is it a bug?

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Problem streaming to my Popcorn Hour PCH-C200: "Could not play" error!

PCH-C200 is detected in categories Renderer and Libraries. If assigned as Renderer, then browsing the BubbleUPnP library's folder structure down to media files works like browsing PCH's internal harddisk. But all attempts to play selected media files, e.g. testvideo.mp4, from the BubbleUPnP library result in a PCH-C200 "Could not play" timeout error message after some 30 seconds.

The same media files play well in PCH-C200 via USB-disk or internal disk.

The other way, streaming from the PCH-C200 library to BubbleUPnP Android app, works well.

Thus, PCH-C200 and BubbleUPnP succeed to communicate the library folder tree structures, but fail to stream and/or receive selected media files to the PCH-C200.

Is there a remedy?
[Android Apps and Games] mhagnumdw:
Hello bubbleguuum. I know Bubble UPnP Server is not a media server. I think I expressed myself badly in English.

My Windows Media Player Server appears in Android BubbleUPnP but NOT appear on "Media Servers" in Bubble UPnP Server. Why? Should appear! I put an image attachment.

Thank you.

Streaming direct audio

So to my understanding this is still impossible with a non rooted device because of android restrictions. But regardles still consider this a feature request. I would love to be able to stream the direct phone audio over upnp/dnla just like you would over bluetooth. Then you would actually be able to enjoy apps that provide streaming music.

[Android Apps and Games] tryptophane:
First of all, many thanks for putting so much love in this app, it's fantastic, I love it!

I mainly use it to stream music from my synology NAS to my Yamaha RX-V475 receiver. It works very nicely, and with the OpenHome renderer I can even enjoy gapeless playback (so you could add it to the list of supported devices).

The only thing that doesn't work so well is seeking in audio tracks when using the RX-V475 as renderer (with or without OpenHome, no matter if I use MinimServer or the synology media server). When I try, it will most often jump to a complete other position in the track than the one I want to. It could be that this problem is not related to BubbleUPnP, maybe it's due to a bad UPnP implementation on the receiver, because seeking works good when I use my samsung smart-tv or XBMC as renderer. What do you think? Should I try to contact the Yamaha support, or is it a BubbleUPnP issue? Tell me please if I can help with some log files.

Have a nice day :)

hey bubble

thx a lot for the new server release and the Google Music Fix in our beloved Android BubbleUpnp App.

Since I use Foobar to watch transcoded movies (via VLC) I had to face a strange issue regarding my Synology Mediaserver. Usually the content was shown in three seperate categories (Music, Video, Photo) but now it shows only the the Music category and Video and Photo are gone. They are still visible on my Android phone so I am not sure right now if I had to adress this issue to the Foobar UPNP Plugin creator.

Any idea how I can reactive the Photo and Video categories? :)

Thx a lot

Hi,

I have recently bought a cheap usb network server, basically turning my Harddrive into a NAS.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/E-PRANCE-Network-Adapter-Storage-Download/dp/B00F07V0M0

I've been using bubbleupnp for a while to access my media on my home network when out and about, I was hoping this would mean that I would not have to leave my laptop on any longer and I could access through this.

Unfortunately I do not know how to load bubbleupnp server onto this device or if its even possible?

Is there anyway I can access my media? or should I send this back and look for another solution?

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Google Drive video on Chromecast?

If I have a link to a Gdrive video that is not mine (i.e.: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0SLGp4sGfYwaGc5MG4xRVNKRkU/preview), can I play it on Chromecast somehow?

Tryed to share the link from browser but Buupnp does nothing with it. I'm not sure if it doesn't work at all or is just because some free app limitation.

Allcast, for instance, shows up as an option but when I share with it, I see an error message about Google Play Service stopping work.

Thank you.

ps. I think that BuubleUpnp/Dlna is not that sales name... Think about BuubleCast or something else... I hate to see a damn good app that could sell more restricted by its name.

PC server error

First off great app! Ive been using it on a tablet and phone to stream between the 2 and its excellent. I also use your cast to UPnP for gmusic app and love that too!

Now for the problem, i now want to use the server on a laptop and stream gmusic (either through the cast for gmusic app or audio cast through Bubble UPnP) However ive got it installed but cant see it on any of the devices. On the internet connection test it just says it cant connect and check if the public hostname is valid and ports are forwarded, both of which i think ive done! Im on an EE brightbox 2 router, windows XP, using chrome as browser if any of that matters. Ive also checked the log as suggested in the FAQ but cant see anything wrong there either, although i could be completely wrong! Can anyone help at all as ive been trying for 2 days now with no luck!?

The new version of the app and the server seems to resolved all my Ogg/Vorbis playback problems I was seeing with the previous version. Thanks for fixing that bubbleguuum! The only thing I would still like to sort out would be the playback of videos recorded with the phone. I tried changing the maximum bitrate settings but the playback still stutters. I didn't see a way of forcing 720p transcoding in the Chromecast settings. Can you point me at what I need to do?
[Android Apps and Games] mhagnumdw:
You enable log in:

BubbleUPnP Android: Menu> Settings> Control> Logging to file

Android BubbleUPnP automatically detected BubbleUPnP Server?

Menu> Settings> Chromecast and see if you can activate the transcode. If you can not change this option, is because BubbleUPnP not find the BubbleUPnP Server.

[Android Apps and Games] mrbo:
Nevermind, I think I figured out what the problem is. BubbleUPnP Server is reporting that video transcoding is not available because my ffmpeg doesn't have video scale filter. I'll see if I can compile a better version of ffmpeg.

bubbleguuum,

Feedback on BubbleUPnP 1.8.1:

- My Windows Media Player Server is still not displayed in the "Media Servers" in Bubble UPnP Server. It even came up once, but then disappeared. :(

- Sending to Chromecast, seek only works the first time. Sending to XBMC always work. Not tested in other renderer.

- I have a movie in mkv that I can not change the audio. I can send the video test for you? It is a cool movie. :)

- On other occasions the option to switch the audio does not appear when pressing menu (and the videos had 2 audio). The first few times appeared, then no more. Tested for the same video files. I did the tests for sending Chromecast and XBMC.

None of this was helpful regarding the questions that I asked. I have somewhat of a understanding on how to configure things if described in a simple matter. I entered my networks name into the public host name and even tried putting in my ip address. Nothing. I even left it blanked to see what happens. Went into my routers setting and mess with single and port range forwarding seperate times. Nothing. Are the external and internal ports suppose to be the same? I have nothing to redirect my NAT besides me having the option of enable and disable my NAT. I went into my firewall settings. Changed inbound and outbound rules separately again to allow 58050 port to be open because I'm a retard and can't figure this out. What am I doing wrong? The user guide said that the windows installer would detect my settings, apparently not so I have to manually configure. I have tried everything separately mentioned above and nothing is wrong. I'm still getting the same error message. Have all that said. What am I doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I don't know what happens with WMP. On my setup it appears consistently.

What happens if you seek after the first time ? Black screen with only audio playing ? Something else ?

Audio/Video track selection works only with Chromecast.

If you had an issue where the track selection icon in the Now Playing screen did not show up while it should have (multiple audio tracks) when playing to Chromecast, please send an Android BubbleUPnP log file attempting to play such video (see first post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Keep in mind video transcoding requires a powerful CPU. If you run BubbleUPnP Server on a NAS, it will likely not be sufficient.

BubbleUpnp does not display artist/title info

Hi all, hi bubbleguum,

Paying customer here. ;-)

I have been using bubbleupnp in conjuction with ushare .

For some strange reason, Bubbleupnp does not display any title or artist info on any music track.

When browsing my library, folder names get displayed correctly, but the id3-tags seem to not being read properly. All I get is "Unknown Artist" and "Unknown Title", although the filename itself gets displayed.

I have been trying to change several setting within ushare, since I first figured it might be the culprit. But I am not so shure anymore.

Does anybody know what could be the reason for this problem?

Also, which lightweight dlna server has proven to be stable and work well with bubbleupnp?

I have a second problem: when trying to skip forward while playing certain tracks, this seems to not work on some mp3's and b'upnp skips to the beginning of a track or to another track in the playlist.

Help would be highly appreciated.

Also, may I suggest a faq of some sort and maybe a bugtracker for b'upnp? I was trying to find if my issues had been discussed already within this thread, but >50 pages of threads is quite a lot to read ;)

Anyone have an idea?

This is a Media Server problem, serving thumbnail images.

For Twonky you can fix it: in its web configuration interface go to "Media Receivers" and select "Bubble DS Control Point" or "Linn Kinsky Desktop Control Point". Now it should serve full res images.

I think that ushare is very basic in the sense it doesn't scan music files for metadata, hence no track title or artists.

Try another server such as MediaTomb or minidlna which will associate medata to your music files.

IT IS ALWAYS AFTER 11 SONG when bubbleupnp refuses to play further!

in other words: after 10 songs skipping manually bubbleupnp stops playing songs!

hope this helps for debugging.

wishlist

Hi,

Just a couple of wishlist items for bubbleupnp. It seems like chromecast can play back a 5.1 AAC stream correctly. It would be nice to have an option in the chromecast transcoding section for stereo mp3 or 5.1 AAC. I wrapped ffmpeg and replaced "libmp3lame -ac:1 2" with libfdk_aac and things worked ok, but that is a little bit of a hack.

It would also be nice to have 30 second forward/reverse skip buttons at least for video. I connected to my mythtv upnp server which worked fine including seeks, but it is really difficult to try to skip commercial by dragging the time slider around.

Andy
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'll see, but most ffmpeg builds do not have libfdk_aac built in, so that would be available for very few users.

ffmpeg has other AAC encoders built in, but of lesser quality and not really worth using over mp3.

long-pressing the Prev/Next button in the Now Playing screen do that.
