Well that got me a little further. I immediately went the "ipkg install x264" route but it appears the this version is outdated. I installed without error but when I run :

I now get this output which at least tells me libx264 MIGHT exist but is not a new enough version

I searched around around for a newer version or how to update it but it must be the latest and greatest available with IPKG method.

That puts me back to compiling libx264 myself but I'm getting stuck on a step with that. I realize the instructions from BubbuleUPnP homepage only support MP3 transocding but maybe you can shed some light on what to try.

Here are my steps for compiling x264 :

01. cd /opt/compile

02. git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git

03. cd /x264

04. I manually edit "configure" file in the x264 directory with the following change : change #!/bin/bash to #!/bin/sh (otherwise I get -sh: ./configure: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: No such file or directory error)

05. I again try to use the "./configure --prefix=/opt" command but I get an error that says "No working C compiler found."

From what I have read, it sounds like I need to define a path. Just not sure what that path is yet....

So It's possible to control a slide show on the app on the TV from the app on my phone? Phone is the server and TV is the renderer? Or the other way around? Not sure I get this.... :)

[Android Apps and Games] rkirmeier:
Yes, I'm doing all the control on the phone. The Revue is only being controlled via Bubble as a renderer. I can play any single picture but it will not slideshow. When I press play after long press on a folder of pictures it does display the first picture on the Revue but nothing else happens so then I press the play button to start then slideshow and the pictures flip through the slideshow on the phone but the original picture continues to display on the Revue.
[Android Apps and Games] Tuborg68:
Ok, think I start getting the hang of it. Got pictures from my phone displaying on the tv as a renderer. Nice! Just one question : can I sort the list of images in a folder in Bubbleupnp differently so the latest show first?

Guys, I am having problems with bubbleupnp on my phone and tablet, I have 1TB network connected HDD from which I stream my music, then on my phone I use that storage as library and have to select tablet as renderer for music...it works fine,,,but many times I have seen the app doesnt see tablet of the network storage .... there is no way to even refresh it..I have to restart my wifi router completely but still sometimes it takes more than once to make it work again

any solution pls
[Android Apps and Games] rkirmeier:
To follow up on this issue I reported... Doing this same thing but using my tablet as a renderer all works fine and I can flip through or slideshow a folder of pictures from my phone using the tablet as the renderer so looks like this is a GoogleTV version issue only.

On another note. My tablet is a Nexus 10 and I'm pushing some 6MP (widescreen) pictures to the tablet but they are not filling the screen. I can manually zoom in directly on the tablet but the next picture goes back to a smaller image in the center of the screen. I have confirmed the pictures exceed the resolution of the Nexus screen. How do I get the pictures to stretch to full screen without having to touch the tablet?
[Android Apps and Games] SorryGoFish:
I have a feature request. I would like BubbleUPnP to be integrated into the "Share" menu for pictures and movies. This way I can use the standard Gallery app, and then push a desired photo (or video) to my TV.

Love this application. Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Weird that it doesn't work on Google TV. You may want to record a log file (see first post for instructions) on the TV and send it to me by email on the TV itself (use a file manager to open the file and send and attach it to an email).

Images are downscaled to something below 2048x2048, for memory and hardware limit reasons (max hardware accelarated bitmap = 2048x2048).

It is possible this limit is higher on the Nexus 10, I'll have to get some infos on that. App could zoom to fit but until now there wasn't really the need since there were no such high res screens. I'll fix it but it will likely have to wait until I get a Nexus 10, which seems is going to be difficult (soldout in like 10 mins).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is already in the share menu of the Gallery (and other) apps.

It evens support multiple selection. Handy to view a full folder of images.

Also viewing Picasa images from the Gallery app is supported

Does not work with java 6. The previous version works.

I have a upnp tv (panasonic) connected with a private ethernet nat to a computer. The computer itself is in a nat wlan connected to a router. I am trying to proxy the servers from wlan to the tv network (and not to the internet). Should this work ? I am getting timeout errors (or something) from tv.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes I have noticed that this afternoon. I uploaded new binaries (version unchanged) that work with Java 6.

UPnP devices will not discover each other if they are not on the same subnet.

What is the ip address of your TV, router, Media Server ?
[Android Apps and Games] Kasbert:
Thanks, the updated version works.

TV has address 192.168.2.2/24, the gateway computer running BubbleUPnP has address 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.1.13/24 for wlan. The wlan router is connected to internet with a real IP address. The media server (Windows) has address 192.168.1.15 in wlan. The gateway is running OS X 10.6 and I don't think it is possible to do ethernet bridging from TV network to the wlan. I guess I could add a direct route from Windows to the TV subnet via the gateway, but I don't like it. I thought the proxy would deliver all traffic and there is no need for direct connection between the renderer and the server.
[Android Apps and Games] saj2001ind:

[Android Apps and Games] jobisoft:
Awesome App! And a Feature request :)

Hi,

I just bought the licenced version BubbleUPNP and installed the BubbelUPNP Server on my WHS 2011. This just rocks! Now I do not need my Android/WLAN to be active all the time. Just set the Playlist and let the music play - from the couch.

However I was wondering, why my "Home" Render Devices disapear, if I switch to UMTS mode. I can still browse my Home UPNP Server (Asset) but I can no longer edit the Plalist of my "Home" Render Device (Roku) - only the local one.

Since WLAN takes much more energy than 3G (UMTS/HDSPA) I no longer use WLAN on my Android and stay online 24/7 via 3G - even if I am at home. So for me it would be great, if my Home Devices would be available via UMTS as well.

Would this be possible?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Why woud you want to sort images by size and type ? It is not a file manager.

I cannot add indefinitely options that will be very rarely used.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There are no Internet proxy renderers managed by BubbleUPnP Server.

Controlling a renderer with 3G from some other place than your home sounds fun but not very useful, although the usage scenario you describe is different.

Now I understand your (corner case) usage scenario (it is true that 3G is more battery efficient than WiFi) but I will not add renderer proxy support due to some non trivial piece missing for it to work (unlike proxy media servers).
[Android Apps and Games] jobisoft:
I would pay 100EUR for that feature, in advance, right away. Paypal or Banktransfer. I really like to have it.

The BubbleServer on my WHS is seeing my Render-Device (Roku) all the time (LAN connection). IF I connect with my phone (UMTS/WLAN), the phone could just get the Render-List/Playlist from the Server and not look for DLNA devices for itself and all communication could be between Mobile <-> Server and the Server talks to the renderer.

I really want that feature, WLAN just sucks for controlling.

Hello,

i use your Tool.

It have a problem with my ext. renderer.

It is a Technisat Digicorder Isio S Receiver.

Playlists play only one song.

It play only one song, than i must skip for the new song.

My AVM Renderer plays all songs automatic.

I have no Idea.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Maybe I'll add it, if only for completeness. I agree it would be amusing to have full control over 3G/mobile. However that is not high priority at all.

One other issues with controlling a renderer over 3G is that latency is way higher (typically 1-2s) vs a few millisecond on WiFi.

That means that each HTTP request is somewhat slower to execute.

So in practice it remains to be seen how it behaves.

Split audio and video?

I really, really like this app! It's awesome. I even bought the license without even having any kind of reasoning besides supporting great work!

Right now I'm siiting in my livingroom, streaming a video from my tablet to the tv with my gf sleeping next door. I am searching for a possibility to send only the image part of the video to the TV and keeping the sound part on my tablet (have some bt-headphones conected to my tablet), so I don't wake her up while watching. Just wondering, if there already is a way to keep the sound of a video on the source device or some1 is working on that? cheers, Fabian!

Just purchased, since the app seems to stream very well. However I'm having an issue.

I purchased since the demo app doesn't allow "filesystem" access. No problem, the app works well enough for me to pay to access files directly.... but wait, I can only see files on the internal SD card! What gives?

Well I've looked around and can only find one post mentioning adding a second mount point in settings.... but this doesn't work (nor is it in any way intuitive). If you are not familiar with android file systems nomenclature you are sol. Not only that no variation of typing in what I think SHOULD be the mount point works (/sdcard2, /extSdCard, etc).

I don't understand the underlying issues but it seems to me that filesystem should mean exactly that and that there should be "easy" access to both internal primary and secondary storage without going through hoops. It should just work. All other players that I've used have always provided direct access by navigating the file system structure and selecting /extsdcard.

So, how can I get this working? Thanks :)

I'm running a Galaxy Note 2
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Known issue, see this post for an explanation
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is not possible to dissociate audio and video, the renderer plays both. I'd look into using a wireless headset working with your TV.

Windows 8

I just upgraded to windows 8 and am having issues with windows media player.

I can navigate to its music library and queue the files in bubble but not its video library. When I click on the videos folder in bubble it tries to load then says"Browse Error: One or more errors occured during processing of command." any ideas on a fix?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Android has no standard (API) for enumerating additional external storage other that the default external storage (the internal SD Card most of the time).

In Android jargon, "external storage" refers to storage that can be externally accessed to transfer files, from a PC for example. In most phone it is an *internal* non removable SD Card (not to be confused with internal storage of phone which cannot be accessed from a PC).

Theorically, manufacturers should mount additional external storage (secondary SD card or something else) as a subdirectory of the mount point of the standard external storage so it is transparent to apps, but sometimes it is mounted somewhere else. And I'm not even speaking of connecting USB HDD or sticks which are mounted by the system wherever it likes.

So the app allow you to add custom mount points that will be listed at the root of the Local Media Server hierarchy. If you do not know the mount point, just use / and you'll be able to browse the root of your device and navigate to where your additional storage is.

BubbleUPnP Server does not play FLAC files from MinimServer

I'm using MinimServer and BubbleUPnP Server. MinimServer can't stream MP3 files to my Yamaha RX-V 473 audio receiver. This seems to be a bug (or whatever...) related to the Yamaha device. There is a workaround/fix for this in BubbleUPnP Server (this was mentioned in the MinimServer forum). But unfortunately when using BubbleUPnP Server as a proxy for MinimServer FLAC files do not play anymore on my Yamaha device. The Yamaha shows the title of the music file in the display but the music does not start playing. Is this a bug or is there something wrong with my setup/configuration?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Problem with playback on WMP

Hello

I have difficulties setting this up for correctly playing media on a WMP renderer. The mediaserver is the same instance om WMP, but when i choose to play a song with BubbleUPnP it does not. I can control the volume of the renderer and the play/pause button works, but I cannot choose which song to play. The mediaserver works alright when using playback on the local renderer (on my phone), so I don't think the server is the problem. Is it because the server and the renderer is on the same machine?

BTW I am using the free version so far, wanted to see how good it was before buying, but seems very reliable so far.

I hope I can get some help configuring this the right way.

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Difficult to say. You can send me a log file trying to play that FLAC (see first post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is possible WMP deny BubbleUPnP access (Check in WMP, Stream > More streaming option).

Or it could a weird issue with file permissions on your PC preventing WMP from playing them (already saw that in the past)

If you cannot get it to work you can send me a log file, playing a track that does not play.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
From the log, it looks like WMP is failing with a cryptic "One or more errors occurred during processing of command", when you browse the video folder.

I've never seen an error with that wording in WMP from Windows 7, so that must be new to Windows 8.

To try to find the cause, I would let only 1 video seen by WMP, to see what happens and if it accept to list that single video in BubbleUPnP.

BubbleuPnP player + Server with BSPlayer

Ok, so here is the deal... and I am not sure why.

If I use Bubbleupnp player locally to playback a MKV (720P) using BSPlayer HW decoding. it works fine. No problem.

However if I use BubbleUPnP player connected to my Bubble Server BSPlayer

*WILL NOT*

play in HW Decoding mode. BUT! It will play in SW decoding mode.

I already ticked all the codecs in BSPlayer for HW. But regardless it will ONLY play in SW Mode. Is there a "Fix"?
[Android Apps and Games] Ullebe1:
Tried to press the play button on WMP later, and then it compalined that it couldn't find the requested file or something like that. So it looks like it did indeed get the command to play the specific file, but for some reason couldn't find it. I will try to get a log file later today.
[Android Apps and Games] zebra02:
I sent you the log file via e-mail.

Maybe it is a problem that the Yamaha device reports that FLAC is an unsupported format (it is actually supported). I have disabled "Mime-type check" in the BubbleUPnP settings as a workaround.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The log shows what happen.

For each FLAC stream URL returned by MinimServer, BubbleUPnP Server automatically adds compat WAV and LPCM stream URLs.

These URL are added for renderers not able to play the original stream, for example if they do not support the codec, as almost all renderers

are able to play WAV or LPCM (and sometimes both).

As you said, your Yamaha does not claim to be able to play FLAC, *but* it claims to be able to play LPCM. Thus Android BubbleUPnP instruct it to play the LPCM stream....which it doesn't play it seems.

The only fix possible would be to either

1. In BubbleUpnP Server, add a toggle to disable the additional WAV and LPCM streams, and in Android BubbleUPnP disable "Mime-Type check".

2. In Android BubbleUPnP, add an option to force to play the first stream no matter what (in that case it would play the FLAC even if there a LPCM stream that is normally compatible).

3. find out why this renderer does not play the LPCM stream which it should (difficult).

I'll probably do 1 and 2.

windows 8

Hi bubbleupnp works flawless on windows 7 with my noontec a9 either wifi or Ethernet cable, on windows 8 I cannot search files, i have to scroll through them all to find film i want to watch (have over 700 films) not good, when i try to search it just loops searching, nothing is displayed, hit my back button to manually search click on video and nothing happens, have to reset pc and a9, remember works flawless on same pc running windows 7, when i use upnplay app on windows 8 it will allow me to search for the film and play it, anyone any ideas on how to fix this, doesn't seem like an issue with windows 8.
[Android Apps and Games] santiagodraco:
Thanks, that worked. The Note 2 has /storage in front of the mount point itself.

Another issue, as discussed by others I think, but this might be Note 2 specific.

Basically I've installed Bubbleupnp on my Note 2 317. I am trying to stream from my home server, a variety of video formats, via a variety of sources. None work all give the mime type error (I think it's 713 or 703 or something, i'll recheck).

Streaming MKV, AVI, MP4 from XBMC on a PC - all fail with mime type error.

Streaming from DNLA server - all fail.

Not sure I understand the problem, but I'd think that the player should support the formats? Certainly XBMC can play them on the PC and definitely they can play in normal Android players (like Dice, mvideo, etc) without issues.

Thoughts?

Suggestion: Add a playback timer feature that counts down from set value (chose how long in minutes) and just before expiration plays a sound or flashes the screen.... then "shaking" the device will halt the count down and playback will continue. Usecase: Listening to audiobooks/music in bed, this will allow playback to stop without requiring user intervention while allowing the user to keep it playing by shaking as the timer counts down (and then the timer resets and starts again). This would be a very welcome feature!

Also referred to as a "Sleep" timer :D

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP Server *transcoded* videos will generally only play with a software decoder, which is not a problem since most devices have enough CPU to do software decoding at lower transcode resolutions.

If you did not intended to transcode and want to play the unmodified video, you can disable transcoding in Settings > Network and settings (beware, there are separate settings fo mobile and WiFi).

If you disable transcoding your videos should play with the H/W decoder.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thoughts:

That is too vague and general reported as is. XBMC works for me and many other users.

I can look at it if you record and send me a separate log file (see first post of this topic for instructions) for each problem, describing

- what is the renderer (and video player app if Android)

- what is the media server

- what is the file type

There is already a Sleep Timer (Now Playing menu > Sleep Timer) although no shaking thing.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 have different GPU so something that work on one can fail on the other.

If you get no sound in MX Player, it is likely that your video has DTS audio. MX Player does not include a DTS decoder for licensing concerns.

There is a fix for that but I'm not sure exactly what it is (google MX Player DTS and you will find).
