Thanks for the reply bubble,

I was working with the app a little bit and found that I could push music content to the phone, and once it was playing it would allow me to access the music library. Almost like once streaming it opened up more bandwidth...Weird. However, if I stop the music playing and then tried to access the music library it would give me that error again. I have a copy of Nero Mediahome Essentials that came with my Blueray player so I installed it and then UPnp would access the music library no problem, although it wouldn't then play video. Essentials must be missing some codecs or other functionality, because thumbnails did not show up with it as well. Bottom line it must be some issue with WMP interaction. Perhaps a time out issue as you said. Don't know if that helps you any at all.

Do you have suggestions for Media Sever software, one taht you use etc?

Thanks Again!

MP3's not playing

Hi,

I'm having an odd issue on my Samsung Tab 10.1 working with a Seagate Goflex Home 2TB. BubbleUPnP sees all my files and the FLAC ones play fine. The MP3 ones, however, all give an error: "Track is not playable: no compatible audio codec found". I certainly can play MP3's on the tablet, and even UPnPlay can play the exact same files (either with the Android Player or the BubbleUPnP player). Any ideas?

Thank you,

Rob

I like the app but ...

It won't advance to the next song. The progress bar stays near (but not necessarily at) the beginning of the song.

I'm running Twonky on a Maxtor Shared Server II

and using Philips SLA5500

If you could make this work, I'd be a sure customer. I've been looking for something that works well to control the SLA5500 from a touchscreen.

Send me an email at bubbleguuum@free.fr so I can send you a test version of the app with some more logging, to troubleshoot what looks like a mime-type issue related to this particular Media Server.

Please record a log and send it to bubbleguuum@free.fr:

- launch the app

- go into the Advanced Settings page (Menu > Settings > Advanced Settings)

- check "Enable logging to file".

- IMPORTANT: Exit the app using the "Exit " menu item found in menu of tab "Now Playing"

- restart the app.

- run the app until the problem appears

- connect your phone to your PC or MAC and mail me the file /Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp/log.txt found on the SD Card.

Hi All,

First of all great app!!:cool:

All the other apps I've used so far are having an issue with standby/screen off on my Honeycomb 3.2 Asus Transformer but this one just keeps playing normally where the others start to stutter when the screen goes off.

Just one question or rather feature request.

Like in plugplayer there is this feature to add an device url.

I ask this because when i use my tablet with openvpn from outside my network the multicast doesn't come trough to the other subnets but if you are able to add the device url manually its works fine.

But meanwhile many thanks for this great app!!

Working on :

Android device : Asus transformer Honeycomb 3.2

Renderer: local device,onkyo TX-NR1008

Media Library:miniDLNA running on TomatoUSB E3000

EDIT :

Onky TX-NR1008 :

- Plays only one song doesn't go to the next.

- Doesn't show time progression of the song

- Onkyo does support FLAC playback but the app says its not supported

-Pessing on the next button doesn't skip the song on the onkyo but does in the app.

- When putting the application in the background and going back into it the volume indicator is on 0 and isn't refreshed to what it was set on the onkyo.

Please provide apk for downloading

Hi!

I would like to test BubbleUPnP, too. But I try to use my Android phone without an google-account. And I'd see, that the main problem with this is, that many developers don't provide the apk-files for free downloading without the market place. Interestingly enough there is no serious other app store, that is offering apps without an connection to the google market.

But anyway, do you have a link for me to download the BubbleUPnP.apk directly?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

@ Keephowlin and

@ bubbleguuum

the problem is the renderer. Some renderers are reporting the supported mimetypes wrong. I use my NOXON Audio 2 and i am not able to play flac files via BubbleUPNP. Upnplay from the market supports to switch off the mimitype checks - then it works.

Please Support such an override in your config for badly implemented upnp protocols in renderers.

Kind regards,

SPo.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thnaks for the feedback. There's a magic switch the other apps do not know about (no kidding!)

There are some plans in this area soon after 1.0 is released.

Please record a log file and mail it at bubbleguuum@free.fr (see a few posts above for instructions). I'm eager to see how well this renderer behaves :).

Send me a mail at bubbleguuum@free.fr

Good suggestion. I'd still like to have a log so I can see what mime-types are listed. Googling around, it doesn't appear that the NOXON2 supports FLAC. However UPnPlay might send it the WAV streaming URL instead, if your Media Server expose one for FLAC files.

Problems with Philips NP2500 renderer

I'm using the Asus transformer tablet with honeycomb and the READYNAS server. The renderer is a Philips NP2500 renderer. Unfortunately only the first song in the playlist is played and then playing stops. Even when the alternate track advance in the advanced settings is set. I have this issue with all other players as well but with Bubble seems to cope better withmany other UPNP issues.

Record and send me a log file (see first post of this thread for instructions)

0.9.9.11 is available on the Market:

local renderer: added support for WMA playback. WMA support is autodetected but manufacturer and device dependent

local renderer: added support for Ogg Vorbis playback. May not work with some older Android versions (2.1/2.2)

local renderer: use the system FLAC decoder on Android 3.1+ instead of the bundled one (less CPU intensive, better seek support)

local renderer: fixed LPCM and WAV streaming hanging with some servers (WMP)

local renderer: advertising on the LAN is disabled by default

reduced CPU usage when not active

fixed seeking not working when position > 60 mins

playing a single video on the local renderer does not modify the Playlist

display codec for video items in lists

Library Search now searches videos

workarounded bug in Philips SLA5500 renderer

added new advanced option 'mime-type check' to disable mime-type checking when playing to a renderer

small fixes

Is it possible that this problem stems from the fact that there are duplicate filenames, even though they're in different folders? (ie. there could be 7 filenames named s01e01.avi, 7 filenames named s01e02.avi, etc.)
[Android Apps and Games] danwooller:
Running the up to date version of the app, I can see and point at/from Samsung TV and various NAS, but have a projector that I want to use a Netgear EVA700 as the renderer. Bubble sees the EVA in the device list but when you point a file (AVI, MP4, etc) at it, it sits in Now Playing at 0:00. If you move the slider across, there is an error message:

Argument[Unit] contains a value that is not in AllowedValueList (code:402)

I've also hooked up the Netgear EVA8000, but Bubble doesn't see that at all, although I understood it to be a near identical product to the 700.

BubbleUPnP Server not working for me

I just found BubbleUPnP for Android the other day, and am VERY happy with how it works while I'm home. My DLNA server is MediaTomb, and everything works peachy-king...again, while I'm home.

While I'm away, I can connect back to home via openVPN. Unfortunately, MediaTomb isn't showing up in my devices list. So, I figured I'd give BubbleUPnP Server a shot.

Everything as far as navigation works using BubbleUPnP Server as a proxy - I can traverse MediaTomb's tree fine and thumbnails work. However, when I try to play a video, things fall flat. MX Video just hangs, and on the terminal where I started the Server, I get an error:

[qtp1173925084-48] SEVERE - 19:01:44.978 - h : bad proxy stream path request: /video

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I will look into it, trying the same hierarchy that you describe but it is definitely an XMBC issue. I suspect it returns files in title order, which makes sense for movies but not so much for TV shows which should b sorted by episode. I'll see if th app can workaround that but I doubt it as the required info to infer proper order will be probably missing in the data XMBC returns.

Can you tell me if files are listed in alphabetic title order in BubbleUPnP ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can eventually record and send me a log file as explained in the first post of this topic.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Strange issue but I will look into it, thanks for reporting.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok, more about this. I could reproduce this error message using the latest version of MX Player and Twonky to serve videos.

This error message is specific to MX Player and did not prevent the video to play. For whatever reason, MX Player issue an invalid HTTP request on the parent URL before doing the valid one.

Now it did work but being connected to BubbleUPnP Server using my home WiFi connection.

I suspect in your case you tried streaming over a mobile connection and in that case you really need to enable video transcoding to 360p or 240p because bandwidth will not be sufficient and MX Player will likely timeout (or take forever to load the video then periodically stutter). Refer to the BubbleUPnP Server documentation to enable video transcoding. You'll need ffmpeg (available by default with the Windows installer).

The first test you can try before looking into transcoding is to check that the video plays when connected to BubbleUPnP Server through your WiFi at home (instead of mobile). If that scenario doesn't work, let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] demaxxus:
I checked multiple TV shows, and it does in fact list the shows ordered by title.

Selecting file to play behaviour

Very happy with the app, been using it for a while.

Did see some behaviour I don't understand. When I use the app as a controller and I select a file to display on my tv from the library it always shows the first file from the folder (just clicking the item). Long pressing the item and selecting play will show that item. Is this intentional? I found it a bit confusing..

Mark
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@danwoller

Thanks for the log. It looks like this renderer (Netgear Digital Entertainer) doesn't support seeking, or doesn't report properly its seek ability, hence the error you see when trying to seek.

Now in your previous post you mentionned the renderer did not play the video.

From the log the app initiates playback fine between your renderer and your Media Server (which is just named "media", can you describe what is is ?) then streaming happens between them. So if it doesn't play it could be a problem between the renderer and your Media Server.

Another weird thing about this renderer is that it doesn't report what audio/video format it supports. Thus BubbleUPnP instruct it to play the first exposed URL by your Media Server, which it has no way to know if the renderer will play it or not.

Finally you may want to test that the video URL plays fine in your web browser:

http://192.168.0.107:9000/disk/DLNA-PNAVI-OP01-FLAGS01700000/O0$3$28I1383946.avi

You may also want to try playing this video from WMP "Play to" to check if this renderer works at all.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
EDIT: my guess is that you have "Item tap action" set to "Play all items" in the Settings. Change it to "Play tapped item" and it will work as you expect.

"Play all items" was the default in previous versions of the app and was recently changed to "Play tapped item".
[Android Apps and Games] danwooller:
The media server is a Lacie NAS, you know the Neal Poulton jobbie, been using it to stream to a Samsung TV for a while.

The Play to in WMP doesn't seem to work either, so I guess it's a Netgear problem.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes, streaming fails probably on an I/O error.

Check if this URL is playing in your Android web browser on this device:

http://192.168.1.5:8895/resource/7915/MEDIA_ITEM/MP3*0

If it doesn't, it is the same issue.

The Audio MediaPlayer part of the system responsible of streaming mp3 is quite buggy and temperamental in Android 2.2 and earlier. If you are running such version of Android it is highly recommended you upgrade to a Gingerbread or higher ROM.

I have a question regarding saved playlists.

It seems these are only stored on one specific controller device. I'm using bubble server and it would be awesome if the saved playlists are actually stored there so they are available across different devices. Is this possible to implement?

Still incredibly happy with this program, it makes listening to music via streaming pure bliss!

squeezebox streaming WAV using BubbleUPNP server

I've an issue using BubbleUPNP server on my Synology and stream music in WAV format to a Squeezebox renderer. When I connect to BubbleUPNP server outside my network and stream music to a local Squeezebox renderer it won't offer a WAV file but a LPCM file. The LPCM file won't play. Instead I receive an error (don't know the error code at the moment) . When I stream the file without BubbleUPNP server directly from Synology library on the local network it offers a stream in WAV format which plays fine.

I guess there is an issue with the supported audio formats on BubbleUPNP server for Squeezebox players. When I open the info button of the squeezebox renderer stated in BubbleUPNP app, WAV is not listed as a supported format.

The server is not working for transcoding for me anymore for some reason. When I try playing anything back the CC app starts loading the video for a split second and then stops.

First, check that BubbleUPnP Server is detected in Settings > Chromecast. Also make sure you're not running multiple instances of BubbleUPnP Server on your network.

When this happens (Apply not loading media servers), are there any media server listed in BubbleUPnP Server's media servers web page, with at least one media server for which "Make this Media Server available in BubbleUPnP for Android and foobar2000 for Internet access" is enabled ?

Also, check that "Allow to access the server from the Internet" is enabled in BubbleUPnP Server's "Network and security" page.
[Android Apps and Games] jdeior:
Thanks for your reply--The "allow to access..." is checked, but there are NO media servers listed in the "media servers" page, even though they are all running and even though I've tried stopping/restarting them. Is there a way to get them to reappear without reinstalling BubbleServer? Seems they just automatically disappear after a day or two each time after having to reinstall the Bubble Server just to get them back.

Album cover stuck on lock screen

I was using this on my nexus 4 which has recently updated to android 5.0. I was just playing music to the local renderer, which was working perfectly.

However on exiting the application the album cover was stuck as the background on the lock screen. I checked in the "app" menu that it wasn't still running and could see it was definitely closed. I had to reboot the phone to clear the album cover from the lock screen.

It seems to be hit and miss as to when this problem occurs.

Is this an issue you're aware of?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This is unusual. Does the network connectivty of the machine on which the server is running changes often (for example if it is on WiFi) ?

BubbleUPnP Server automatically removes media servers that it deems unresponding, checking if they are reachable every 5 minutes.

Maybe there's a problem with that. You can try disabling this automatic check by setting discoveryMaintenanceInterval to 0 in file configuration.xml (found in the installation directory on Windows). You must restart the server for the change to take effect.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:

Feature request Screen rotation

Hi, I would like to see a setting that prevents the screen from rotating. Using Bubbleupnp I often pick the phone up and put it down again. Often it changes to wide screen when I lay it down. I don't like that. For other apps screen rotation is needed. So I can't set the general screen rotation off. Could you add a setting that prevents the screen from rotating when Bubbleupnp is active? :eek:

I had a Dish Hopper stb that I used as a UPnP client to browse my Google Music through this amazing app. Then, I found the ability to choose a Renderer in Bubble on my Android. I then started pushing all kinds of content to my Hopper. The death of my Hopper's HDD meant a new Hopper today. Now, I can still use the new Hopper as a client and browse my content through Bubble on Android. Much to my dismay, however, I've lost the Hopper as a Renderer on my Bubble app. My only choice is Local Renderer. Does anyone know how the heck I can get my Hopper back as a Renderer? Is it a setting in the BubbleUPnP app, a setting on the Hopper (I didn't see any), or something else I can do to get it back?

Where are my renderers

All,

maybe I miss the concept, but the renderers exposed by BubbleUPnP Server should be visible to any DLNA renderer aware control point in my network, right? If so, I have an issue. While my android devices perfectly see those renderers (a SB Touch with Whitebear i.e.) and play to them, my windows 7/8 clients (both on OS level as devices, but also the JRiver MediaCenter client software with DLNA enabled) do not see those renderers. Media Sharing, playTo etc. is enabled, I can see the BubbleUPnP renderer on my android devices, my TV, everything. But not the renderers exposed by the Bubble server. What might I be missing?
[Android Apps and Games] Jota64:
Noob question. I've been trying to get this to play a whole album but unsuccessfully. It will play the first track only. I tried long pressing the album from the library but only the first track plays. I can put the whole album in a playlist yet it still plays only the first track. I've tried setting the library choice to Minimserver and to DiskStation and trying playlisting and long pressing the album to select but the same result.

I can random play my whole collection yet can't seem to figure out how to play one album, any album.

I have a licensed version of BubbleUPnP. It's on the Nexus 9. Music is all FLAC on a DS 213+ with the latest DSM and I've been using Minimserver with the N-Stream app for Naim but their latest version is really buggy so I'm trying to get on with Bubble. Playing music via a Unitiqute 2.

One other issue I've found is the navigation arrow top left isn't working when in the settings menu. So if I go into settings I have to close the app to get out of it.

All my music is in FLAC format, and I would love to use my Chromecast for streaming.

I installed BubbleUPnP Server to my Zyxel NSA-325v2 NAS. Bubble player does detect the server and transcoding works, but CPU usage goes near 100% (due to ffmpeg) in the NAS and playback is choppy.

I noticed the following sentences in documentation:

If you need to transcode only audio (including just audio in videos), any machine should be able to handle it.

Standalone audio (eg FLAC, WMA, ...) is always transcoded to WAV, with no loss of quality.

Is it really so that Marvel Kirkwood 1600 MHz CPU cannot handle FLAC -> WAV?
