Gapless playback

I use AssetUPnP as DLNA server on Windows 7 Ultimate.

I have Foorbar installed on the same PC as AssetUPnP.

I use BubbleUPnP on two Samsung devices, both running Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2.

Playing MP3 with Foorbar directly from the PC - gapless works fine.

Playing FLAC Foorbar directly from the PC - gapless works fine.

Playing MP3 with Foorbar controlled by BubbleUPnP - gapless does not work.

Playing FLAC with Foorbar controlled by BubbleUPnP - gapless does not work.

Playing MP3 with BubbleUPnP using local renderer - gapless works fine.

Playing FLAC with BubbleUPnP using local renderer - gapless does not work.

Any thoughts why gapless never works with BubbleUPnp for FLAC and never with BubbleUPnP controlling FooBar?

I'm trying to stream an mp4 from my server to my Nexus Q, which is running BubbleUPnP. It works, only a quarter of the time. The other half, i just get a random black screen. As of right now, I am sharing the URL to BubbleUPnP on my phone, which then uses the Q as the Renderer. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Problem identified and fixed in the next version of Android BubbleUPnP.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Handling images, in particular large images is more complicated than it looks.

If your media server does not offer images in different resolutions (eg, transcoding), BubbleUPnP

must do it to avoid out of memory issues. And there's EXIF data that must be taken into account to for proper orientation.

You can send me a log file if you wish, displaying some large images that fails to display (see first post of this topic).

What options are you missing?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can you give more details (exact steps you do in BubbleUPnP, what network connection, etc), because I have difficulty understanding your issue.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
To what renderer are you playing to ?

You can send me a log file showing the problem if you wish (see first post of this topic for instructions)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What is your media server having folders containing both tracks and m3u ?

In which part of the app do you not see the whole folder name ? Is it in the top action bar ?

If you change to landscape you'll see more of the title
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I'm not super familiar with pla playlists, I'll look into it.

I suppose that by "folder is empty in bubble-upnp", you meant that you browsed to the play playlist through the "Filesystem" folders and it came empty ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's weird. BubbleUPnP Server do not modify device icons, so this modified icon comes from the renderer itself.

Renderers can expose several icons, usually the same image with different resolution and/or file formats.

It is probable Android BubbleUPnP and BubbleUPnP Server do not pick the same icon within the same renderer.

I wouldn't worry about it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I assume you use foo_upnp with foobar2000 ? Make sure you use the latest version of foo_upnp.

Controlling foobar2000 gaplessly should work as long as:

- you play a gapless album (eg Dark side of the moon), and do not mistake gapless with crossfading

- "Settings > UPnP Tweaks > Enable gapless control" is enabled (the default)

To play gaplessly to the local renderer, it must be enabled in Settings > Local Renderer > Gapless playback.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Weird. What video player do you use on the Q ? MX Player is recommended (if that runs on the Q).

You can send me a log file recorded on the Q up to the point you get a black screen (see first post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] hinzkuntz:
yes, i tried to load the playlist-files through the "Filesystem" (Mount Point 1 = /storage/ext_sdcard).

but now i changed to .m3u and it works like expected.
[Android Apps and Games] pccma:
Great, thanks!!

When I open a video through the app, it hangs at "getting video information." I looked at the server log (on my Linux machine) and found that it has this error:

[qtp22503075-59 ] INFO - 09:17:28.643 - h : ffprobe process started: ffprobe -v quiet -show_streams http://cave.homelinux.com:58050/stream/video/3c595e0b033bd280c46dee60ea6677d0.mp4

It is showing the public (DYNDNS) name, not the local IP address there, which may be the problem.

I also see that it looks like the packaged ffmpeg deoes not have support for ffprobe (--disable-ffprobe):

Usually I just hit "Cancel" on the pop-up on my phone, then video playback begins.

Excellent Wifi Speaker for BubbleUPnP

I wanted to start by thanking the developer for this excellent app. After much testing of other DLNA apps this one is by far the most complete.

Second I wanted to recommend a great wifi speaker to work with the software. The Pioneer A4 can be had for around $180 and it is a fantastic renderer for BubbleUPnP.

Best buy has these in store in you want to test them out.

I purchased a license version of your app, as well as the license for sempervidlinks. When I try to play a YouTube video from my Android phone to my TV (through my Hopper), I see the name of the video on the TV but an error (1252) shows on the screen and the video doesn't play. Can you please help or direct me to a FAQ?

What's the output of the following command on your linux box ? :

ffprobe -show_streams http://cave.homelinux.com:58050/stream/video/3c595e0b033bd280c46dee60ea6677d0.mp4

If you get " HTTP error 404 File Not Found" in the output, can you try the same command but with another video http:// link that you can find in the log, just after playing a video with BubbleUPnP ?
[Android Apps and Games] SorryGoFish:
The error output is:

[tcp @ 0x9978b80] TCP connection to cave.homelinux.com:58050 failed: Connection refused
http://cave.homelinux.com:58050/stream/video/3c595e0b033bd280c46dee60ea6677d0.mp4: Input/output error

That domain name (cave.homelinux.com) is not accessible within the LAN, it is the WAN name.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is not possible as the license verification uses Google Play.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok, so if I understand correctly, your linux box cannot resolve (DNS) cave.homelinux.com ?
[Android Apps and Games] SorryGoFish:
It resolves to the public IP address, but my router does not support loopback (most don't though, right?), so the public IP is not forwarded back to localhost.

The command works, by the way, if I replace cave.homelinux.com with localhost.

Edit (Lightbulb went off)

I fixed this by adding the following line to my /etc/hosts file (where cave.homelinux.com is my specific WAN address)

127.0.1.1	cave.homelinux.com

Thanks for your help. It may be better, however, for your server to replace the WAN name (from settings) with localhost when making these loopback requests.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok, you're right, it is the so called NAT loopback that doesn't work with all routers (it does on mine).

I will fix it so the LAN ip is used instead.

In the meantime you may be able to fix by adding a line to /etc/hosts.
[Android Apps and Games] SorryGoFish:
Ha. Thanks. I actually just did this (and edited my reply). Thanks so much. I'm a huge fan of your work (and support). Thank you.

Difficult to say what happens here since that error code comes from your TV that has probably a problem with playing that video.

Do you see any error message in BubbleUPnP ?
[Android Apps and Games] jahaangle:
The wireless plus is a hard drive that can create its own network (ie no need for a router) I connect the phone via wifi to the hard drive but it takes a really long time to find all the files on the disk. The bundles Seagate app find them instantly but is very buggy otherwise.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Do you mean that browsing folders takes a long time, or something else ?

The app by itself does not "find all the files on the disk": it just browse folders exposed by your media sevrer (running on your wireless plus device I guess).
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I've finally reproduced and fixed (in next release) this long standing bug that has been reported under various forms.

It happened whenever a physical keyboard (bluetooth, dock, GoogleTV, ...) is present.

It is not intended.

Can you tell what is your Android device, Android version, and ROM if custom ?
[Android Apps and Games] jahaangle:
Just as an example, the root directory contains the folders "music" "pictures" and "videos" for up to 15 minutes only "music" is visible. The other 2 folders will become visible eventually. It's a 1tb NTFS 2.5 inch drive

Finnaly bought the licence for this app today.

Is well worth it.

Have a problem since a while back.

Im playing Spotify trough Jamcast, but I keep getting the Mime-error 714.

Only when I play Spotify trough Jamcast, not while playing my other media trough Jamcast

or when useing Jamcasts remote viritual soundcard.

What can be wrong? Any setting in BubbleUPnP? I have disabled mime-check allready.

Hi, I'm developing an app that deals with lyrics. To know which song the user is listening to, it uses an intent-filter.

Does BubbleUPNP broadcast anything when something is played ? Apps like Google Play music and Pocket Casts broadcast this intent :

<action android:name="com.android.music.metachanged"/>

If not, do you plan to implement that ? Or does your app supports Last.FM ?

Thanks, love BubbleUPNP.

Trying to connect - issues

Hello. I have just downloaded the bubbleupnp server license, and am having some difficulties connecting.

I connect fine via wifi.

I am attempting to use the connection wizard. I enter the addresses, but when I try a connection test, it is just always timing out.

On the server, it says both the http and https address are "reachable from the internet." I have opened the ports on my router.

what should i do to troubleshoot this?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP doesn't broadcast this intent (I will add it eventually).

It supports scrobbling to the official LastFM app (Settings > Scrobbling) and other clients.

However you cannot use the official LastFM app intent as the intent is sent explicitely to the official LastFM app.

However you can use the Simple Lastfm Scrobbler intents (doc) that BubbleUPnP will broadast if Settings > Scrobbling> Scrobble method is set to that client.

As a bonus your app will work with any other rmusic player supporting these intents.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Check that you have entered the Server address in full and not forgotten the port, that there is no spaces etc:

http://<ip or hostname>:58050

or

https://<ip or hostname>:58051

Have two .avi movies, one will play fine the other won't. When I try to send it to my Samsung TV. From n7. I have premium
[Android Apps and Games] nick2196:
Thank you. Yes... that looks like it is fine to me. If I enter it incorrectly, it gives me an error... I enter it right, and it "times-out"
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
For a possible workaround, in Jamcast modify the BubbleUPnP profile (in the Jamcast Devices tab, double-click BubbleUPnP for your device), and set IsDlnaCompliant to "True".

Make sure to restart BubbleUPnP and browse the Spotify folders again and let me know if it works.

If it does not work, post a new log.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
email me a log file (see first post of this topic for instructions), trying to connect to your server.
[Android Apps and Games] Ethania:
So. I did what you said, but it didnt work. Played around with a few other settings as well.

Since it works on my Samsung TV, I copied the settings from that device in Jamcast.

Didnt work either. Here is a new log.

Thanks for looking into this.
[Android Apps and Games] geecko:
Alright, the Simple scrobbler sounds like a good plan. I'll be sure to update my app if BubbleUPNP starts broadcasting by default.

Thank you very much !

Hi guys,

I got told that with this app I can stream my Google Music songs (from the cloud) on my PS3. Was ready to purchase this app but i thought i'd give the free version a try. I setup my Google Music account, and it worked fine on the Local Renderer on the device itself.

My PS3 showed up the Nexus 7 as a Device, and I can see a bunch of folders including the Google Music folder, however when I go on the GMusic tracks, an error pops up in the top right corner of the PS3 and I can only see one file which says unsupported data. Tried ticking the proxy setting but to no use.

On the other hand, music/movies/photos which are on my device are playable without any problems.

Can anyone help me out? :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
In the free version of BubbleUPnP, only the Google Music playlists (under the Google Music / Playlists folders) contain items when browsed remotely (eg PS3) , so you can still test that streaming works.

All other folders under the Google Music folder require the licensed version of BubbleUPnP, to list items.

Normally, the PS3 should display a message stating that the license is required when browsing for example to the Google Music / Albums folder. That is not the case (the PS3 displays the error you mention) and I will fix it. Thanks for reporting.

In the meantime you should be able to test the functionality by browsing a playlist under Google Music / Playlists and playing tracks from there.

Then if you buy the license app, it will unlock other folders.

Hi guys. I got the purchased version of Bubbleupnp + MX Video Player +Arm7 mx player codecs.

I'd like to stream video files from pc to my phone (Xperia ZL).

I use PS3 Media server on my pc, and it works flawlessy with my PS3, as i can stream every kind of video files (avi, flv, mkv, hd...), but definitely I'm not able to make it work with my phone and BubbleUpnp...

As I try to stream sono video files (the music files do works), I can see the "waiting circle" going on and on forever, but the playback doesn't start and the same happens if I use the PSM Transcode folders.

This is strange because with my PS3 I have no problem at all. I don't think it's a phone problem, 'cause GS4 did exactly the same.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you, Mat.
[Android Apps and Games] jakeellis01:
that's great news... i have no playlists that might be the reason, will purchase the app to confirm if this is the case, will let you know

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
You can easily make a playlist in the web interface of Google Music for testing in the free version. Make sure to Sync the Google Music folder in BubbleUPnP if you do.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is more of a problem of MX Player working with PS3MS, rather than BubbleUPnP that just initiates playback and is not involved after that.

Try streaming the orginal video, not the transcodes.

Also worth trying is to try the different renderers in MX Player (S/W, H/W, H/W+), until one eventually works. Make sure to exit MX player and start playback again in BubbleUPnP, whenever you change decoder settings in MX Player.

google music sync problem

Hi

I tried to play music from my Google music account but the app won't sync. It gets tracks and building lists like its supposed to but at the end the app crashes without any error msg and when restarted I begins syncing from the beginning again. Tried rebooting, reinstalling, no luck. I have full version... Works fine on my tablet, not on my xperia u with cm. Any suggestions?

Otherwise, thanks for a brilliant app

Controller is very slow

Hello,

First I want to thank you for developing this app. It has all the features I wanted, but the controller seems to be very slow.

I have a Nexus Q and since Play Music no longer supports it, I looked for alternatives.

I installed the new CM 10.1 with amplifier support as described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2304929 and also as suggested, I tried BubbleUPnP.

My current setup is :

Nexus Q with CM 10.1

BubbleUPnP licencend on Nexus Q set to start automatically on boot.

I use a Nexus 4 phone for controlling and set both Server and Renderer to be BubbleUPnP(Nexus Q).

If I use BubbleUPnP on the phone and try to playback anything (from NAS, Google Music, Google Drive), the application responds very slowly and sometimes I get timeouts.

Just out of curiosity, I installed MediaHouse UPnP / DLNA Browser on my phone and I was able to browse and play all my music setting the BubbleUPnP(Nexus Q) as server and renderer. MediaHouse UPnP Controller is very responsive, no problems at all, I just don't feel like buying two products and I was expecting BubbleUPnP to be just as great controller as it is as Server and Renderer.

Support for Google Music and Google Drive (I have some FLAC albums backed up there) is great. The ability to play 24bit/96khz FLAC is also awesome (I know that Q only has 48khz DAC, but it's nice to have the music accessible).

Do you have any ideas why the BubbleUPnP as controller on the phone is so lagging ?

Are there any setting I should try or logs to send you ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If your device is rooted, you can send me a log file with Catlog, triggering the crash:

- install Catlog

- start BubbleUPnP

- enable Settings > Control >Enable logging to file

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

- restart BubbleUPnP and make it crash

- start CatLog, use Menu > Save to save the full logcat and send me the file (bubbleguuum at free.fr). It will be located on your SD card in catlog/saved_logs.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Can you precise what exactly is lagging (browsing the Q's folder from your phone ? Playing stuff to the Q ?)

In any case, you can send me a log file recorded on BubbleUPnP running on your phone (see first post of this topic for instructions) triggering actions that lags. In your email with the attached log, give a brief description of the actions you did.

hey bubble,

still a big fan of your tools in combination with minimserver on my nas. now i feel like i could try to use my android tv stick (tronsmart t428) as nas itself and would try to use bubbleupnp local media server to serve files to my network as minimserver doesnt have android version yet. may there be the possibility to define custom tags of mp3 files which local media server shows when serving? as always its my beloved "remixed by"-tag that i would love to always get shown to various renderers right behind title tag...

Hi Guys. I have a question

I use Serviio on my pc For media Server With external subs and I found this app To stream from pc To my tablet but For some reason it doesnt shows up the external subs. For player I use mobo and I already fix the mobo player To show greek subtitles. Any idea?

Hi there,

First of all, let me say I love BubbleUpnp. I use it as a remote to play videos on my Playon Hd3d and also to receive video on my samsung S3 and Galaxy note 10.1.

I do however have a small problem with it. When using it as a remote from both my S3 or Note 10.2 to play a mp4 video from the Playon on my tv, BubbleUpnp puts up a box with the track information up over the screen. (See pic)

If I play the video from the Playon box directly using its remote, then this box is not there, so it must be coming from BubbleUpnp. I have searched the settings, but can find no way to disable this.

Also, If I play a mp4 video from the playon on my phone or tablet, the video player does not start. It seems to be treating the mp4 video as audio.

Any help would be great as I really do not want to have to try and convert my videos in to another format.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The Android media scanner which extracts the tags doesn't extract remixed-by and other non standard tags.

Even if it did, I cannot add the level of configurability found in desktop/MAS media servers like Minimserver, Asset UPnP etc...
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
External subs (mostly srt) for local playback are only supported with MX Player, if the media server properly handle subs (Serviio does).

Embedded subs (mostly in MKV) will show up if the video player app supports them.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPNP just instructs the renderer to play a stream. That overlay is displayed by the playon for whatever reason. Maybe because it thinks the video is an audio file ? Does the playon display this overlay if you play an audio file (a mp3) directly from the playon ?

ok.

You can send me 2 log files if you wish: one for each issue (see first post of this topic for instructions).

Kill on inactivity not working?!

First of all, thank you for developing this great app!

Using Tasker I can automatically start BubbleUPnP when I enter my car and get connected to my Bluetooth car radio. It works and I observed two issues:

1) Occasionally, when BubbleUPnP is launched, it is not possible to play music. The elapsed time and progress bar are greyed out (time is also blinking). It usually happens when phone contacts are automatically synchronized after Bluetooth has connected. What could be the reason for this issue and is there an easy work around?

2) I would like to use the 'Kill on inactivity' to stop the application after no inactivity for 5 or 15 minutes. However, this function doesn't seem to work any longer. Is this depending on other BubbleUPnP setting? Suggestions are welcome!

Thanks and regards,

Jos
