I am unable to play audio for video files from my synology NAS. Ports are all open , is able to reach the servers okay. Keep getting the error message:

'failed to extract video info. AV track selection will not be possible'

My bubbleupnp server is installed and showing that it is okay to transcode audio when logging into it. Any suggestions on what could be the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] Bronto9:
Feel free to link to it wherever you want:)

I've written that in the section about ffmpeg, but probably I should write it in a more visible point. I'll do that later.

I can confirm that with XBMC 13, the stream URL for the trailers are invalid and give a 404.

This should probably be reported to XBMC as a bug.

Hey Bubble,

Really loving bubbleUPNP. The only issue I have is getting the server to work.

I have the latest build installed on my home machine (Windows 8 64bit, Java 7 51, BubbleServer 0.8.2), and I get this error:

And then on the Android side, I get this:

Any ideas?

How to access the server's filesystem?

I am probably stupid, but my brain is running in a loop right now:

Media server is installed on a local Linux box. Bubbleupnp is installed on a Galaxy S4, Chromecast plugged into the TV. The media server is recognized under devices, but when I want to browse its file system, I can only browse the Android file system.

How can I get access to the media server's directories and play video files from there?
[Android Apps and Games] GROGG88:
If you're on Linux you'll need to setup a server such as Rygel. I've got it running flawlessly on Ubuntu 14.04 Gnome.

subs

Thanks again for you app :) I use your bubbleupnp and the server with my chromecast. It works fine. I'm able to pick external subtitles with the filepicker. But I'm a bit lazy so I've been looking for a dlna server with that function.

I've hade some troubles finding a good dlnaserver thats pass on subtitles and you get working transcoding with. Didn't get servioo to work satisfactory and so on. Bubbleupnp server works like a charm though. Do you think it would be possible to put on subtitle support on the server? You specify a folder on the computer or the network and it adds subtitles together with the transcoding? Sort of enhances the crappy dlna servers :)
[Android Apps and Games] Stinx2001:
Won't find my video folder?

Sorry for the newb question:

I have set up BubbleUPnP mostly fine. On my PC I have a folder called downloads, and within that folder is 3 further folders: Music, TV Shows, Movies. BubbleUPnP detects the Music folder and streams all of them perfectly to my ChromeCast, however it does not detect the other 2 folders. I have gone over the settings 100 times on the app, and ensured all the sharing settings in my folders are correct.

Please help!

BubbleUPnP Server prevents PC from going to sleep

After upgrading to the current or, possibly, the previous version of BubbleUPnP Server my PC will not go into sleep mode any more. Or, to be precise, it won't if I have accessed the server via the Internet at least once. I start the Server - sleeps OK. I access the media library from a renderer via the Internet (or simply run the Internet connectivity test from its web interface) and it won't sleep at all, even if I try to do so manually. I reboot the Server - sleeps OK again. Reboot and access it - once again, won't sleep.

While this might be intentional (after all, real servers don't sleep, do they?), I would prefer it to be optional (after all, I can wake my PC up when I know I'm going to access the library soon).
[Android Apps and Games] PublicJohnDoe:
I do love this app! It literally made my day when I discovered it... I'm using a Mede8er media player with all my music collection on it, connected to a Yamaha amp and a Samsung TV.

Obviously, having to turn on the TV to navigate the songs was a big letdown, and BubbleUPnP does a fantastic job in this field... only minor nitpicking: is there any way to cache the library index?

I mean, when I go to "Library", it takes a LOOONG time to retrieve the index, because I have several thousand songs on the internal HD... enabling a cache would mean lightning-quick access...
[Android Apps and Games] jonolo:
bubbleguuum,

I have a few questions about upnp in general I think...

Setup:

BubbleUPnP as renderer (HD2) and control point (SGSII)

Windows 7 as library

Q1: When I add songs to a playlist, are these only added on the local device (controller) play list and not on the renderer's play list?

Q2: If Q1 is true, would it be possible via uPnP to add it to the renderer's play list instead so that I can disconnect the controller and the renderer will continue playing without the need for the controller to change tracks?

And finally a feature request, would it be possible to set the name of the renderer in Settings? Atm the renderers always comes up as BubbleUPnP (ip address) or something like that...

Thanks for a great app!

Cheers

Jonas
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The app has no control over subtitles. It only tells the Popcorn which URL to play. It's up to the Popcorn to infer the subtitle URL eventually.

This is difficult to troubleshoot without the device at hand. For some unknown reason the LG fails on either the Stop or Play command. Does this always happen even if you try playing a track several time ?

You can record an app log using the following steps, and send it to bubbleguuum@free.fr

- launch the app

- go into the 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.

- handle the app to trigger the problem

- connect your phone to your PC or MAC and mail me the file /Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp/log.txt
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The playlist exist only on the Control Point. The Renderer only knows the current track URL. So you must leave the CP running for track advance.

This is an unfortunate limitation of UPnP AV. An extension exist to allow the playlist to reside on the Renderer side but I have no plan to implement it for now.

It is in the TODO list.
[Android Apps and Games] jonolo:
Ok, thanks for the answer anyway...

Great, thanks again for a great app...

Final release coming soon with a price? Nice app that I'm nearly certain to buy.
[Android Apps and Games] Lare2:
First let me thank you for an amazing program. I just left my positive review on google market. Your app has made my Synology server even better. I'm ready to buy your app as soon as available.

Now to my question, Is it possible to include playback controls on the notification popup window on honeycomb like the default media player does.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
First release early September. I'm still adding some features. Price will likely be 2.99€

Thanks for the feedback. Can you tell more about what you found confusing in the UI ?

As a coincidence I just implemented that feature yesterday :). It will be in the next beta due out tomorrow (I've also added scrobbling support).
[Android Apps and Games] Lare2:
I don't know if this is supposed to be the right behavior for the back button.

1- Open the app.

2- Go to "Playlist" tab from the "Now Playing" one

3- Now click the "Back" button

The programs exit instead of taking me back to where I came from, in this case, the "Now Playing" tab. The same behavior applies when using the "Back" button from the "Devices" tab.

I have exited the program by accident many times because of this.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
In a tabbed android application, the standard behaviour is that the back button is never used to navigate to the previous tab. There's no need to, since the tabs are there for navigation instead.

In most Android apps, pressing the back button while at the top level screen of the app will put the app in the background. This is the expected behaviour. In a tabbed app you're at the top level no mater what tab is selected (and visible of course).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
v0.9.9.8 is available on the Market:

new: Honeycomb: miniplayer controls in notification area

new: scrobbling support

new: Sleep Timer (Now Playing > Menu > Sleep Timer)

new: configurable local renderer network name

new: if Last.fm app is installed show artist info from Last.fm (long click on cover)

new: audio focus support (external apps sounds pause local renderer playback)

improved browse compatibility with some Media Servers

improved app state restoration on orientation changes

Rygel based renderers are now detected

fixed crashes, various tweaks
[Android Apps and Games] thosor:
Hey Bubble,

thanks for this really great app.

At first: The "Audo only" in the thread-title can be deleted, because videos are also working great (with vplayer of course)

And then some suggestions i've written to you before.

The usage of the local data (as "library") for streaming would be really great. If this is possible i could stream local (on my eeepad) photos or media to my tv or other devices at home.

I would really love to see this function :-)
[Android Apps and Games] Lare2:
I just submitted another review on the market after the changes that made it possible to change tracks from the notification bar on honeycomb. Your app quickly became the most used app on my Moto Xoom.

Being able to change tracks without navigating away from my current running app was a blessing for me .. LOL

Keep up the good work
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Maybe in the future, but keep in mind this is a significant feature and a lot of work.

Thanks for your great review! I'm really glad this app is useful to people.
[Android Apps and Games] sean20357:
I second the need for local library

Just installed Bubble. Have been looking for a upnp controller for quite a while and tested almost everything around.

At first glance BuubleUPNP seems to bo be right on. I like that you don't try to make a full blown video-player but use whats already there.

But I realy whish you would treat the android device, as you treat all other UPnP devices, i.e. it beeing a renderer, a controller AND a library.

Until then I might just have to put up with the horrible interface of UPnPlay.

Cheers, s.
[Android Apps and Games] thorinside:
Great app. I use it from my xoom to play from a synology to an old popcorn hour a100. Playlists don't work. For some reason the currently playing track never gets removed from the playlist and will play over and over again until I manually remove it from the playlist. Is there something I can send you for a better diagnosis and fix?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You may want to enable "Alternate track advance" in Settings>Advanced Settings and see if it fixes the problem.

But still you can record a log (with "Alternate track advance" disabled) and send it to bubbleguuum@free.fr, so I can see what is wrong with this renderer.

Enable logging and run the app until a track transition fails.

To enable logging:

- 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.
[Android Apps and Games] N23:
It would be nice if the video playback would work better with the Dice Player - yesterday it worked like a charm but after a reboot it only dims the screen. It also dosen't ask which video player i would like to use.

The Dice Player is the only one which playbacks 720p mkv content fluent on my Asus Transformer - so BubbleUPnP and Dice Player would be the perfect combination!

Nevertheless, your app is great! :D

FLAC support

Im unable to play any *.flac file when Im controling my popcorn hour a200 via my galaxy tab 10.1 via bubbleupnp :( when I enter folder with flac files none of them are listed. What am I doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] MikeyAThomas:
Hmmmm...latest version seems to have introduced a bug :(

My renderer used to display the name of the MP3 track currently playing. Now it's just displaying the URL to the track, not the name.

Anyone else getting this?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Which renderer is that ? What was the previous version you were using ? 1.2.2.3 ?
[Android Apps and Games] Aqua1ung:
Skifta "server software" comes together with the Skifta Android client, so that any Andorid device on the LAN can broadcast any accessible DLNA media server onto the Internet. No separate media server software required. Such is the prowess of Skifta. :) I tried this with my two Android phones, one of which is on the LAN, and the other via HSDPA at work, and no other server software on the LAN, no nothing. I would like to see BubbleUPnP do that also: BubbleUPnP Server ported to Android, and possibly packaged together with the BubbleUPnP client in one apk file.

Skifta works with any DLNA/UPnP media server too, though I couldn't tell to what extent might rival BubbleUPnP with regards to security and bandwidth optimizations.

I do not have any suggestions right now, as I can't really remember what was bothering me. I'd have to run BubbleUPnP again on my Revue when I get back home. I may get to do that during the weekend.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Maybe one day I will make BubbleUPnP Server run on Android, but its place is really on a NAS really where you can expect the network connectivity to not change every 10 mins and do not have to care about a battery. Maybe I will do it for the cool factor. And a new cool way to drain the battery =). And yes I know that a device can always be plugged to power and be stationnary (there's at least GoogleTV that fits this definition).
[Android Apps and Games] Aqua1ung:
Yep, GoogleTV, you guessed well, so it's not just the cool factor. GoogleTV devices should show up more and more this year, hence it wouldn't hurt to be proactive and undercut the competition by offering SW that turns any GoogleTV box into an Internet media streamer...
[Android Apps and Games] MikeyAThomas:
It's a Roberts Stream 83i - an Internet, WiFi, DAB, UPnP Radio. Up until now there's been no problems.

Probably. It was the previous version from the market, since the phone is set to auto update BubbleUPnP.

FYI, server is Foorbar2000 and Foobar 2000 UPnP plug-in. Nothing changed here for weeks.

Bug:

Some files after they have been deleted from the tablet (Transformer prime w/ ICS), still show up in the library when the server is the tablet.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Does it happens with all tracks or only tracks with non ASCII characters (accents, specials chars , etc) in their metadata (title, artist, ...) ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You have to use Menu > Reload to refresh the folder.
[Android Apps and Games] MikeyAThomas:
It happens with all tracks. The renderer used to display the track name (but not the artist, etc - I assumed that was an issue with the renderer).

Is there an APK available for earlier versions I can test out ?
[Android Apps and Games] lotherius:
Receiving the same error as a previous user "No Streaming URL Available" when selecting an item from my windows 7 machine. Tips/Ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Give some more detail.

- To which renderer are you playing to ? if it is your android device, model an Android version ?

- what is the codec of the file on your WMP server ?

- do you access WMP remotely through BubbleUPnP Server ?

EDIT: I assume your Media Server is WMP but specify if it is something else.
[Android Apps and Games] lotherius:
I was using WMP... it was giving the error on any format I tried to select (avi, mkv, etc)... Accessing over WIFI LAN, no Server involved.

HOWEVER, I switched to PS3 Media Server and can now connect, so it looks like it was a Windows issue. If PS3 Media Server will work I'm okay with that.

I now have it working on my G2X running Gingerbread.

However, my CM9 Touchpad for some reason refuses to prompt me for which video player to use... have posted on the touchpad forum as that appears to be a cm9/touchpad issue because it won't prompt me on any dlna/upnp stream for which app, they all default to the built-in video player.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You probablly just need to unset the default video player association.

Locate the default video player app in Settings > Application > Manage Applications.

In the "lauch by default" section, click on the "Clear defaults" button.
[Android Apps and Games] lotherius:
The problem is.... the default video player app doesn't *show up* in manage applications for some reason. Which is why I downloaded the app to manage defaults, but it doesn't see it either.... I went through every single app that clear defaults wasn't grayed out, even my launcher and cleared them all. It's hiding inside gallery I think (it uses the same Icon) but clear defaults is grayed out on gallery...

Like I said, have got a post out on the touchpad forum, but I'm losing hope that this will have an easy fix. I guess for now my video watching will have to be done from by usb transfer, so I can use the video app itself to select videos... :(
[Android Apps and Games] MikeyAThomas:
OK, this turned out to be an issue with the foobar2000 UPnP server. When I tested with other media servers the renderer displayed the track name as expected.

I performed a reset of foobar2000 UPnP server and that appeared to fix the problem.

Thanks for the help Bubbleguuum.

MiniDLNA over WAN

Would it be possible to support MiniDLNA server over WAN interface (e.g internet streaming)? There are lots of people using WIFI routers as NAS with custom Oleg/Tomato/DDWRT firmwares which does not support Java. So we cannot use your BubbleServer. MiniDLNA is supported for all the usual firmwares. it would be fine if it would be possible to configure directly the MiniDLNA address and port and maybe the content directory (e.g 192.168.1.1:8200/ctl/ContentDir") directly to the client. Unfortunalty the MiniDLNA does not support authentication so OpenVPN would be needed to open the port on WAN...

Thanx
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If you want to access your Media Server through the Internet without using BubbleUPnP Server, you can do it but you have to setup a VPN. Then the app should behave as if it was running on a LAN.

Transcoding problems Mac OSx

Hi there!

First things first. Thanks for a great service which I use everyday on my PC.

However I can't seem to get it to work as I want on my MAC OSx.

I can setup the server just fine and when I check my localhost I see that both my HTTP and HTTPS servers are reachable.

My problem is the transcoding part. I've downloaded the ffmpeg files from ffmpegmac.net and I've putted them in the same folder as BubbleUPnPServer.jar. I've made them executable (to my understanding) but I still can't get it to work. Under transcoding version I get the following info:

Version:

0.8.2

Audio Transcoding supported:

no (ffmpeg not found)

Video Transcoding supported:

no (ffmpeg not found)

Image Transcoding supported:

What am I doing wrong? =)
[Android Apps and Games] Yoshi8765:
Hi bubbleguum, seems like you're inactive on the foo_upnp thead in hydrogenaudio so I'll post here.

I'm having trouble on the fb2k side now. When I try to load up a playlist from the upnp browser, the playlist says "[Playlist name] (loading...)" like always, but after a few seconds, it reverts to "[Playlist name]" again. Other playlists will load it up and tell me the number of songs it has, like always.

This problem happened before, but if I reload root and try again, it usually works on the 2nd or 3rd time.

Today, I've tried it 6 times so far and it still doesn't work.

It is a pretty big playlist with about 9000 songs, but it's worked in the past.

Any clues?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You need to install BubbleUPnP Server for audio track selection. See Settings > Chromecast.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I think there are apps that can keep the screen on, including on some user-defined criterias.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Did you start the server with the launch.sh script ? This is important to use this script for BubbleUPnP Server to use ffmpeg/ffprobe binaries in the installation directory.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It cannot work like you describe. Normally, Serviio should work well with subtitles provided they are titled like the filename of the video minus the extension (.srt).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Since you did not tell what your media server is on your PC it is difficult to help you but this is surely a media server configuration issue.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Doesn't this already work long-perssing the lockscreen play button to make the seek bar appear (on KitKat only) ?

I can't check at the moment as I'm not near my Chromecast.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Send me a log file, connecting to the server (see first post of this topic for instruction).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's weird but probably explained by a recent change preventing from the PC going to sleep while streaming. But it should only be for the duration of streaming, so there might be a bug here.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's no caching. For super huge collections, it is advised to browse the collection subdivided in folders of manageable size (and use UPnP Search if the server supports it).

You could try MinimServer as it offers such facilities.
