Today is Maker Faire in Hannover. I'll have a look at it tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Saved playlists are accessed / loaded in the Library tab, folder "Saved Playlist".
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'll fix that.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Probably because the search requests are not exactly identical (even if possibly giving the same results) and one is fast while the other is slow (unoptimized) on the server side. Can you tell me what is your media server ?
[Android Apps and Games] tonyp22:
My primary media server is eLyric Music Manager, which is PS Audio's server for the PWD DAC. The search request seems identical to me. I'll give an example: I have all my high res music tagged. If I start BubbleUPnP and enter "19224" (which is a tag I use) to find all music at that resolution it takes 75 seconds to yield the results (241 songs). If I start UP#Play and enter the exact same term in its search function, also against my eMM music server, the results come back in 6 seconds (same 241 songs). Same music server, same search term, same tablet, the only difference is the app.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
UPnPlay only launches one search query at a time (I supposed you used the "Songs..." search). BubbleUPnP start 7 search queries simutaneoulsy, searching for the term in various fields. This is generally not an issue with most media servers, for example MinimServer or Twonky. I have no plan to make changes here.
[Android Apps and Games] Stuvic:
Thanks for the reply, but, I don't see the "Saved Playlist" folder anywhere. If I select either the Local library ( Nexus 10) or a Media monkey library located on a networked PC, I get different folders, but none of them or any nested sub folders have the "Saved Playlist" entry.

I aso created a new playlist with the updated 2.0.2.2 version and did a search (esfilemanager) to find that the storage folder was at /sdcard/Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp/playlist/ (which also contained my older stored playlists .dpl files) , but when I browse to this folder from the Library tab, filesystem folder it doesn't show any play lists to open.
[Android Apps and Games] tonyp22:
No, I used the main Search window. I assume since I didn't select a specific search criteria that it just does a tag-wide search. Maybe it doesn't.

Hmm, that's too bad.

I was going to try a search using my Logitech Media Server library, but with this latest version of BubbleUPnP it doesn't seem to show up.
[Android Apps and Games] ChocoboX:
For BubbleUPNP on a Mac. You will need to move ffmpeg file to /usr/bin

directory then start the server, it should be able find the app. Took me a while to figure it out.
[Android Apps and Games] sorepinky:
BubbleUPnP is no longer useful as a gapless music controller for JRiver MC (as library server and player). After just two tracks, play either stops (MC does not display the 3rd track), or it repeats Track 2. A similar issue was raised many pages back re an Electrompaniet player where it was suggested that the polling interval was too short. I have had to go back to JRiver's Gizmo (Euch!).

Why not make it so that you don't need such a short polling interval to get the playback progress bar (if that's what it's called) to move smoothly? Like have the thing move according to an estimate.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I cannot reproduce this issue with JRMC 19.0.149, playing a gapless album from the JRMC Library: it works as expected...

Send me a log file if you wish up to thepoint gapless fails (see first post of this topic).

Also, try again with the app's default settings (either by reinstalling the app or clearing its data).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can also put in the server's install directory, provided you use the launch.sh script to start the server so it picks the ffmpeg executable.
[Android Apps and Games] domg73:
For some reason BubbleUPnP stopped showing thumbnails of the photos I have on my phone (nexus4)... It does show them on my tablet (nexus7)...

Cleared the app data & cache but still refuses to show the thumbnails... I don't know if this a know bug, the forum search is not working right now.

Any help please?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok, I tried and it also emits a single search request here.

I suggest MinimServer for music. It has fast search.
[Android Apps and Games] tommi.a:
Hi bubblegum,

no chance to get the display with year display back?

Would really appreciate if the available space could be populated with this info.

Even better it would be of course together with a selectable sort order for year.
[Android Apps and Games] tonyp22:
Yes, I've been meaning to give this one a try. Thanks for the heads up on the search speed.
[Android Apps and Games] sorepinky:
OK I cleared the App Data and it seems to be better (up to Track 7 now). I'm running the latest MC "stable" version 19.0.146. If it goes bananas again, I'll try to log and send - perhaps as I put back a few of BubbleUPnP's settings 1-by-1 to how I had them before.

I've been using BubbleUPnP for ages now and perhaps the data got corrupted with version updates over the last year or so.

It just seems to get better and better - especially with the new look version that just updated itself today. :)

Cheers and thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
No chance to have it back.

But is that is absolutely critical for you, you can use a media server such as MinimServer that allow custom formatting of album titles (and other fields), to include the year as part of an album's title.
[Android Apps and Games] tommi.a:
I mainly use Google Music.

Actually I do not understand the motivation to restrain the display though this feature was introduced only recently and there is so much space left on screen even on phones with small display and low resolution.

But of course it's your app and i have to accept your decision.
[Android Apps and Games] pogz69:
Hi im recently doing a lot of configuration on my mybook live and i just saw this post. I just finished adding owncloud and transmission on my mybook liveand i also want this streaming capability of bubble. problem is im not that good with linux. right now i cant make the apt-get install openjdk-7-jre-headless and apt-get install -t wheezy backports ffmpeg to isntall properly. can you pm me the debian source?

-Sorry wrong post I don't know how i got here when I replied to a different thread
[Android Apps and Games] ChocoboX:
On Mac, if I double click launch.sh it opens up Xcode rather than starting the server. I can only use the .jar file to start up the server. I have to figure out how to make it start automatically at startup. Things are much easier on the Windows side though.
[Android Apps and Games] hannemann:
Yes, it works.

I've found another weird thing when trying to stream mpeg files. The app asks me which streams to playback and the video stream is ticked but missing in playback. Here is the produced ffmpeg line, note that the output is matroska which normally is mpegts

ffmpeg -async 1 -i filename.mpg -map 0:2 -map 0:1 -vf scale=trunc(oh*a/2)*2:360 -vcodec libx264 -preset fast -acodec libmp3lame -ac 2 -ab 128000 -f matroska -

It should look like

ffmpeg -async 1 -i filename.mpg -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -vf scale="trunc(oh*a/2)*2:360" -vcodec libx264 -preset fast -acodec libmp3lame -ac 2 -ab 128000 -f mpegts -

Another thing i wan to mention is that -fpre is not a valid option to libx264. The second attempt to encode the video fails every time.
[Android Apps and Games] bhu1:
Hey guys, I have a few questions regarding the app (Searched already but couldn't find any proper answer that could help me)

I haven't ever used this app -

I have some shows and movies that are encoded in 1080p 5.1 high profile level & my LG TV can't decode them (Says file is invalid) and ps3 also can't decode them(With latest showtime it tries but its really choppy and unwatchable), but my nexus 7 (2012) seems to play them fine in H/W using MX player or stock video player, I wanna play these videos on my TV though. I was wondering if this app decodes the videos on the device or just basically throws the files to the receiving end for that device to decode?

I wanna use this app to connect my nexus 7 to the ps3 and play those videos, if those videos are decoded on the nexus 7 then I think they might play on the TV through the ps3 (Really unsure, just some theory of mine) . Is this possible? Can I play these high profile 5.1 level videos on my TV through ps3 by using this app?

Thanks for help.

Useful settings missing

Hello,

Some useful settings seems to have disappeared in this new version.

In the previous version I resized thumbnails and icons in the library in order to fit to my tablet size and my poor eyes.. But it seems that is no more possible now and the thumbnails are to small for me... :(

Also always in the library, you don't show anymore the alphabetic lettre when we scroll the list with the finger at right.

Another nice setting was the album picture as background in the Now Playing, but not in this last version..

These settings will come back in a future version?

Regards

Pocket Casts no longer shows on local media server

Hello

Sometime in the last month or so Pocket Casts has disappeared from the Local Media Server. Both are set to use default location.

I am running Nexus 4 android 4.4.4 with latest versions of both apps installed

Any ideas welcome

Martin
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Verify that Settings > Library > Show virtual folders is not disabled and enable it if disabled. Then you should see the "Virtual folders" section at the root of any media server in the Library tab, and the "Saved Playlist" folder inside that section.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:

BubbeUPnP Server not recognizing external srt

Hi I've installed BubbleUPnP Server on WD My Book Live.

When sending original WD Media Server to chromecast with the Android App, the subtitlles are shown.

When sending the same movie with the setup BubbleUPnP Server no subtitles are send with it.

What can I do to get the external srt subtitles to show via BubbleUPnP Server.

I've looked in this forum but couldn't find a solution. I don't know what's going wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok that confirms what I thought. Depending on WTF parameters, the default podcast directory is either one of the dirs I listed.

Recent BubbleUPnP only look in the first one, hence the default folder not found in your case. I think new Pocket Casts installs default to the first directory (the one in Android/data).

I will do something about it but in the meantime you should be able to get it working by manually choosing the "PocketCasts" folder at the root of the SD Card.
[Android Apps and Games] crazydog115:
I just started using BubbleUPnP with XMBC and Chromecast. I can set up a playlist inside the app, but only one video is streamed to the Chromecast. After the first video ends, it does not continue on in the playlist. Is there another step I have to take?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Does the non-playing video plays if you play it separately ? What container/codec is it ?

I just tested playing 3 small videos in sequence from XBMC, and it did work.
[Android Apps and Games] crazydog115:
Can't check the metadata right now, but yeah they work separately. I watched three videos and had to just manually hit 'next' and 'play' for them to start streaming.
[Android Apps and Games] Steffen_2009:
Hello together,

I like the possibility to slide between the three screens in the new version , but I prefer using the old version...

Reason is there we had the nice setting of album picture as background in the Now Playing, but not in this new 2.x version..

Please bring it back in a future version...

The last three days I rolled back to the old version several times. With the link from bubble it is no problem.

Anyone who also wants to roll back please remember to set the options in play store to "no update" for bubbleUpnp. Otherwise you will get the unwanted update without background covers again.

If the background covers are customize-able again I will immediate switch to the new version ;)

[Android Apps and Games] Doenie74:
Hi, today I installed BubbleUP on my tablet so I can stream things to my tv.

I also purchased the license so I have access to all the features. But I'm not

able to stream videos that last over 30 minutes. It says it'doesn't support the format

if I try to do that, but the format's the same as the shorter video. Asked around

but no one else seems to have this problem.

So how come that eventhough I have the paid version it doesn't play long videos?

Hope you guys can give me the answer cause I didn't pay for an app that

doesn't work how it should..

Search not working since update

Since update to 2.0.2.2 search function is not working. If I go to Library and choose the Search button on my phone (since BubbleuPnP no longer has it's own search button in the app) it prompts "Search Library". No matter what I type here, when I submit it jumps to Now Playing view (showing the last played media) and I never see any results, even for media on Local Server.

Search worked perfectly well before upgrade to 2.0.2.2. It took a few seconds but always worked.
[Android Apps and Games] crazydog115:
I found a workaround... If I shuffle play a playlist, it will not continue past the first video, UNLESS I go in to the playlist after it begins, and tap a video inside the playlist. That causes it to work properly.
[Android Apps and Games] ajamils:
Love the new updates with Google+ support. Is there a way you can add similar support for Facebook albums? Or an ability to stream everything from Gallery, as my Note 3 automatically sync all albums from Facebook to my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Trigger search in the Library screen : Menu > Search.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If it is the standard Gallery app, you shoould be able to select multiple albums or photos (with long-press) and use the Share action to share to BubbleUPnP.
[Android Apps and Games] Stuvic:
Thanks - that allows me to use my saved playlist, but it's definitely not intuitive, especially when you have a 'Playlist' tab that is either empy or shows a totally different list of songs until you 'enqueue'. It would be much more intuitive if there was a 'Load from Saved Playlist' up with the 'Clear' and 'Add to Saved Playlist' options when you are on the playlist tab.
[Android Apps and Games] haggis999:
Overlapping text in Library view in landscape mode

If you drill down to an album in the Library view then the album info is highlighted at the top of the screen, listing Track, Album, Artist and Genre information. This is fine in portrait mode, but if you turn your Android device to landscape mode then the second line of artist info (if present) will overlap the genre heading.

server service not seen

hello,

been using this app for a while and it's great.

my problem is that whenever I start the app on android, if the PC has been on for a while, the app won't be able to detect the BubbleUPNP Server service required for transcoding incompatible files when using my chromecast. I always have to restart the server, or the pc, and then it sees it. And works fine for the duration of a movie. But if some time goes by with pc on while doing other work(don't know how much, really) and then I want to use BubbleUPNP, it stops seeing the server again.

any help is appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks, will fix
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
True. I'll add that "load saved playlist" menu item.
[Android Apps and Games] Doenie74:
Today I actually got it to work...for a little while. My video played perfectly for 8 whole minutes and then it said audio codec wasn't supported, so no more sound. Tried other videos but they either don't play at all or only a few minutes until it claims video codec isn't supported. This really frustrates me and I would really want a solution to this problem.:rolleyes: Also installed it on my phone btw but same problems there..
[Android Apps and Games] ajamils:
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it but it does not work. When I select the pictures and share with BubbleUPnP, it opens up BubbleUPnP but then shows the following error:

Hi Bubbleguuum

Thanks this has fixed the problem

regards Martin
[Android Apps and Games] bv90andy:
No one? :(
[Android Apps and Games] cavemandaveman:
thank you for the app, i love it!

however, when viewing the metadata on the now playing page it sometimes shows two or more streams and i am never sure which one it is actually playing.

is there a way to implement the ability to choose a specific stream for a song? or maybe even just highlight the one that is actually in use? this would save a lot of confusion
[Android Apps and Games] BruceAnn:
Thanks. that works but is a little confusing because the hardware search button takes you to the same dialog.. just doesn't work. Overall I am not a fan of the 2.x update. Maybe there are new features and support for new devices, etc but the interface IMO is a step backwards. I think I'll go back to the old version.
[Android Apps and Games] crazydog115:
When using XBMC as my media server, BubbleUPnP reports the duration of videos improperly. For example, all TV shows show up as 30 minutes in length, instead of their proper length. This breaks seeking and causes playlist not to continue after the end of a video. When I load the files through the direct "files" library item, everything works fine.

Any thoughts on how to get the duration to work properly?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
XBMC issue. BubbleUPnP simply uses whatever duration is reported by the media server.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The stream that is playing is the one that matches the technical info displayed on the Now Playing screen below the seek bar (codec, bitrate, samplerate etc).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's very unusual but could happen if your network interface on your PC (WiFi ?) goes on/off intermittently. Other than that it is difficult to troubleshoot.
[Android Apps and Games] elenhil:
I can't even begin to recount how bugged v2 has been for me so far. Sometimes it simply won't start playing at all. Rebooted everything: the server, the PC, the router, the phone running the app - nothing. Then rebooted the server once more - and hey presto! Awful, simply awful.

Playing stops after 25 min with license

I am having trouble since a while on Android 4.0 / 4.3 / 4.4.3 / 4.4.4

When I play a continuus track playing stops after 25 min. However, I have a license and it also shows "license found".

Samsung Galaxy Nexus, local library and local renderer.

I already removed and reinstalled, cleared cache etc - no changes.

What can I do?

Version 2.0.2.2
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
From which media player are you playing ? Using BubbleUPnP Server to stream remotely ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Streaming what (codec ?) from where (media server ?) to what device (renderer ?), etc etc etc etc.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
For the Pi you'll need to manually install the zip.

[Android Apps and Games] cavemandaveman:
Streaming from BubbleUPnP Server installed on a Synology NAS and the server side has no lossy compression, only the app on my phone has mp3 transcoding set.

Also, not sure if it's related, but I'm having playback issues where after a song is finished, it will go to the next song while still showing the previous song's info. And once that song is over it repeats the song but this time with the correct information (if that makes sense). If you can tell me how to log this behavior , I can send it to you if you want.

[Android Apps and Games] cavemandaveman:
But then why wouldn't it show as mp3 in Stream #2 in the detailed info?
