OK, good to know. And many thanks for adding the feature, will help me with classical albums that have various composers.
[Android Apps and Games] Tom23Ko:
Yes, thats right, i disabled Mime-type check.

I know that Samsung TVs cause several problems, but it does play mkv, avi, ts and mp4-files without complaining. And everything works fine with BubbleUPNP. It does even play the MP4-videos if i download them. I tried different sizes and formats, no problem. Only sharing the same videos via SemperVidLinks does not work. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok. I believe that if you had it enabled, BubbleUPnP would have complained about your renderer not supporting youtube video mime-type.

Interesting. Youtube videos are proxied by BubbleUPnP and semperVidLinks so there could be a problem here, especially as samsung devices make HEAD requests. Can you send me a log file playing a youtube video to your TV ?
[Android Apps and Games] Tom23Ko:
Sent you a log file!
[Android Apps and Games] chw9999:
The TV is able to display them right from a stick, so I believe "yes, capable". How could I verify it otherwise?

Thanks,

Christoph

Is nice
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The fact that it plays files from a stick is not the guarantee at all they are playable with UPnP / DLNA, especially on DLNA TVs which are often very restricted in the formats they can play (compared to a WDTV Live or XBMC for example).

You can send me a log file (just log the app startup until your TV is discovered) as it will list what the TV supports (se first post of this topic for instructions).
[Android Apps and Games] chw9999:
Thanks for the quick reply, I stored the log here:

http://www.jurmo.de/PM6500/log_bub20130503.txt

Sample mpo:

http://www.jurmo.de/PM6500/P20130412-195220_020.mpo

If it is of any help, I thought of the htc album app built into the evo 3d's Sense, which can connect to a media server as well, and it just sees the regular jpeg images, but not the mpo files in the same folder... Just like the TV...

Thanks again!

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Looks like .mpo files are special .jpg with 2 images. Which is good news since your TV does of course support displaying jpg.

Do you want to stream your .mpo stored on your phone to your TV, using the BubbleUPnP local media server ?
[Android Apps and Games] chw9999:
Right, the mpo files can be displayed in 2d (that is, only one of the two pictures) with any jpg capable program or device.

I wonder if it is the milme type? Mpo does not show in the common file choosers as registerd jpg...

When in BubbleUPnP one checks library->images-> a folder with mpo and jpgs, only the jpgs are listed...

To answer your question, yes, I have the pics stored on a stationary "media server" tablet and/or my EVO 3D and want to see the mpos on the TV, and BubbleUPnP is the media server on both machines.

Cheers

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok. Can you do this simple test: rename a .mpo to .jpg. It will be recognized by BubbleUPnP. Display it on your TV and let me know if it displays it in 3D. If it does, the local media server can simply recognize .mpo files and pretend they are jpeg. If it doesn't, these files cannot be handled (because your TV does not claim to support mpo, it only claims to support jpeg).
[Android Apps and Games] chw9999:
Thanks for the time you're investing...

Renamed mpo on my Tablet, now shows in BubbleUPnP browser and on TV, but 2D only.

But to complicate the issue: when the BubbleUPnP server is my EVO 3D, then the mpo ARE recognized both in browser (in BubbleUPnP on EVO and TV) and also displayed correctly on TV in 3D... I am confused now... Might there be something specific to the EVO 3D missing on the 2D tablet?

I have another autostereographic 3D Tablet as well, and here it shows the same results like on the stationary 2D Tablet: jpg is listed, mpo not. Both have Android 4.0.4 installed, while I'm stuck on 4.0.3 on the EVO 3D. Might that contribute to the problem? Will it help to draw a log file on the EVO 3D?

Cheers

Christoph!

Correction to the remarks to EVO 3D displaying mpo: they are shown on the BubbleUPnP local Server browser on the phone, but NOT visible/listed on TV, and not playable either.

ROM lock screen skip track ends up pausing instead

It is a nice upnp app, but the problem I have is I'm not able to use the "track skip via long press on volume buttons in lock screen mode" feature available on ROMs like CM or Jelly Bam. The play is paused instead.

[MENTION=237202]bubble[/MENTION]: Is this a feature you can enable within your app?

My Rom also offers this feature but it only works with the stock music player... This would be a real nice feature though!

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

One thing I noticed, when browsing the library, looking through my albums I see in the second line unknown artist but all the albums have the same artist (various artists in this case) which tagfield is read here from the app. Media server knows the correct artist, because this is already a virtual folder generated by my nas (albumartist)
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Well, that's weird.

The only way I can think of this ROMs have implemented this functionality is to send a media key next/prev track key event on volume long-press.

These media key events are alread managed by BubbleUPnP and behave as they should.

Can you (or 463nt_0ran63) send me a log file, long-pressing the volume button ? (see first post of this topic for instructions)

EDIT: thinking of it it is probably another media player app that catches media key events and take the audio focus (which has the consequence to make BubbleUPnP to pause

playback, because it lost the focus). I remember using an app displaying app priority for media keys handling but I do not remember what it is.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
It is probable your media server set an artist for individual items but not for album items listed when browsing albums (in the XML metadata it sends).

Thus BubbleUPnP cannot know the album artist at this level.

[Android Apps and Games] m.n4:
Your application does work okay with headphones using inline remote (single press pause, two presses to skip next, three presses to skip back etc. - as configured via the Ac!d Clear Audio plugin in Jelly Bam ROM)

Sent by email. In the logs, the intent registered is to pause playback, not skip track.

No other media player running, though had Ac!d Clear Audio+ plugin running.
[Android Apps and Games] otteporihs:
I've just bought this app and like it really much since it's the only one works with Audi MMI. I have a question on how to control what goes into the library.

The Local Media Server in BubbleUPnP pull the media from the Android Media Library. Would it be possible to control where the Android Media Library scans? Currently, it pulls in all media files including ringtones, notification sounds, etc which I don't want.

Thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The Music, Video and Images folders are populated with the content of the Android media database and what it scanned.

This is automatic and done by Android.

You can filter out whole folder hierarchies from the scan by creating an empty .nomedia file at the root of the folder hierarchy.

For example create that file in folder containing ringtones, notification etc if the application managing them do not do it already.

After creating .nomedia files, trigger a rescan with this app, browse the local media server again (you may have to use menu > Refresh on already loaded folders).

Setup openSuse firewall?

Dear developers and users,

I looking for a solution how to set up my openSuse firewall to access media servers and media renderers since more than 2 days without any success.

My Problem is, that I cannot access my Twonky-MediaServer from BubbleUPNP-Server, when my openSuse firewall is active. When I deactivate my openSuse firewall, I see all media servers and renders of my network. A simple solution could be to deactivate my firewall permanentally. But I do not want to deactivate my firewall because I have many other settings in the firewall which are important.

I tried to add costum rules with the ports 58050 and 58051 of the BubbleUPNP-Server and with port 9000 of the Twonky-MediaServer, with no success.

I hope some other user have had the same problem and could solve it.

Pherhaps some delevopers could give me any tips, too.

Best regards,

the-sandman
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Is your issue that you cannot reach BubbleUPnP Server from the internet (the test fails in the Status web page), or that BubbleUPnP Server does not detect any device on your LAN (empty Renderers and Media Servers tabs) ?

If it is the first one, make sure you add 2 NAT rules to your router to redirect ports 58050 and 58051 to ports 58050 and 58051 on the LAN ip of the PC on which is running BubbleUPnP Server, and that your firewall does not block port 58050 and 58051 for TCP traffic.

Thanks for adding support tunein.com (I just a few days before this update tryed to open m3u with url-address). The method described you for isolating url-addresses from the site tunein.com does not really work, the browser played radio and i could be out of luck, because Java Flash was installed in my system. After uninstall or freeze it all possible. Thanks.

Tell me please is possible integrated BubbleUPnP and book-reader with supporting TextToSpeech such as MoonReader, for reading book on external render?
[Android Apps and Games] TMan459:
Hello.

I'm running the latest version of BubbleUPnP Server and am having issues with transcoding audio. Over a mobile network, transcoding will not work, no matter what options I change.

I can provide logs if needed. Please advise!

EDIT: I will add that I'm on Win8 x64, a CM10.1 nightly from like a week ago, a Sprint Galaxy Nexus, and using Universal Media Server. Also, it worked on my initial test last night. Since there was an update today, I rolled back to 1.6.8, but the issue was still occurring. Finally, after a reboot, the first track I try to play works great. Any track I select thereafter will show in BubbleUPnP as WAV 44.1 or 96 KHz, depending on the selected tracks' sample rate.

Anyone else having problems to reach music of Google music since update to latest version? I even deleted data of the app, synced again (and it's syncing a while) but I can't see a single track. My wife has the old version and it's working as always perfect...

Edit: now it works again
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
The tips section clearly states that if the tunein radio page doesn't propose you to download the stream because it cannot play it, you're out of luck.

I guess that's the case if flash is installed. Unfortunately, tunein doesn't make it easy to access stream URLs.

Not possible unless the TTS app generates on the fly a http stream and allows it to share it to other apps, or is able generate the text-to-speech into a file that you can later play with BubbleUPnP.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Sprint use http proxies on their network that can get in the way with mobile streaming. But that doesn't explain with the app reported WAV.

Please send me a log file showing the error. See first post of this topic for instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There is no concept of filenames in controlling apps like BubbleUPnP. If the sort order is inappropriate either:

- configure your media server to change its sort order if possible

- in BubbleUPnP, enable Settings > Library > Smart Sort to see if it helps (if it detects that a folder is an album, it will sort if by track number if that info is avaiable)

- use another media server
[Android Apps and Games] chw9999:
Hi, thanks for the new version.

Just to bump the question, do you have any idea why mpo files are not listed in BubbleUPnP itself vs jpg (renderer and library on the same machine?)

Thanks

Google Music - Album sorting

Hi,

After using this great app for some time now, primarely with my Google Music library, I was just wondering whether it's possible to sort albums after year, instead of name?

Open action

Hi.

Can you add such thing as - when you use "Open With" file or link outside of BubbleUPNP, this file will be added into playlist without start playing it. Or better - it can be drop-down menu in settings, where you can choose behavior, like in Library->Item tap action.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I haven't decided what to do for mpo yet, and the Filesytem hierarchy only recognize jpg and png as images for now.

I'll add support for it in the next version of the app. Not sure it will be of much help though if your TV displays them as regular (non-3D) jpeg.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
That's not possible. I'll consider adding a toggle to sort albums by date on the fly. But that suppose displaying the date in that mode to be useful.

APE format

Hi Bubbleguuum,

Recently I found that, using bubbleupnp on my android phone as media server and media control point.

And using foobar2000 as the media render only, APE format audio files can be played well!!!

Do you know how can foobar2000 do this?

So that I can try to support this feature under frameworks like gstreamer in linux.

(I didn't find any other software have this feature)

Thank you very much!

Hi,

I would like to use Bubble UPNP to stream media from my PC over the internet using your app. I use PS3MS to stream on my home network and it works fine with UPNP. When I connect over the internet, I can see my media server and the folders, but can't see the files to stream. Is there something I'm missing?
[Android Apps and Games] NameZero912:
Hi. I recently tried Stream What You Hear, a MS Windows tool that grabs your sound card output and streams it to UPnP/DLNA devices. It does work to stream the audio to my Galaxy Nexus running BubbleUPnP (via WiFi), but the delay is huge (around 5 seconds). I do not have such huge delays e.g. when using Foobar2000 and choosing my Android phone as media renderer there. The Stream-What-You-Hear website has a question about delay in their FAQs, but they basically say to blame the media renderer and its method of buffering.

Could you maybe test whether you get such large delays, too, and whether that can be fixed?

Best regards!
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes: foobar2000 has native support for APE, and foo_upnp stream it to BubbleUPnP as WAV, which it can play.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
In BubbleUpNP Server "Network and settings" config page, make sure that the field "Public hostname" is correct. It is used to build stream URLs.

If you have a stable public ip address or hostname, set it there. If your ISP changes your public ip address at regular interval, you will have to use a free DynDNS service like noip.com to create a stable ip/hostname.

Loosen ffmpeg verification

Hi,

I'm using a rather old version of ffmpeg (newer ones won't work due a quite old kernel) and BubbleUpnp Server keeps on telling me that ffmpeg isn't supporting libmp3lame.

Apart from being plain wrong it might boil down to an old version of ffmpeg.

Since my old ffmpeg IS supporting transcoding with libmp3lame support is there a way to enable transcoding?

Edit:I tried a workaroundby using Audioffmpeg which does support the '-codecs' switch, creating a symlink in the bubblerserver directory but itgets ignored...

Any chance to make bubbleserver first search in its own root directory and then looking for paths?

TIA

Hi,

I'm not sure if the library-search is provided from my Twonky-server or BubbleUPNP... but is it possible to search for a word an it lists ALL tracks with this word without choosing the category "Artist", "Album", "Track", ... in the results?

Regards

Schubi
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
There's indeed 3-5s of delay, probably a combination of the Android Media Player buffering and "Stream What You Hear" own buffering.

Buffering done by Android cannot be changed, but setting "Stream What You Hear" to a higher bitrate (320K) might help reduce it.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
What version of ffmpeg do you use? I think BubbleUPnP Server requires at least ffmpeg 0.7.

Otherwise, give the output of:

ffmpeg -codecs | grep lame
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Twonky is performing the search. What you ask is in the "Track" result folder...Yes you must enter it.
[Android Apps and Games] yjfpb04:
APE format

Thank you for your kindly reply. But I didn't get your idea here.

The ape file is located in my android phone, so I think it should be BubbleUPnP transcode it to WAV and stream to foo_upnp?

I didn't understand the logic you said here.

-Bob
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I though you were streaming APE server by foobar2000 to BubbleUPnP. Looks like it is the other way round.

BubbleUPnP streams to the the foobar2000 renderer your unmodified APE file stored on your phone. It works because foobar2000 supports playing APE as a renderer, which is not the case of most other renderers out there.
[Android Apps and Games] yjfpb04:
APE format

Yes, I just don't know how can foobar2000 supports playing APE as a renderer?

Do you have any ideas?

As you know other renderers can't do this.

I want to port this feature to renderers under linux platform.

Thanks,

-Bob
[Android Apps and Games] schubi82:
Sorry, but I can not agree with that. In the track folder are only tracks with the name of the artist in the track name (f.e. "Can't hold us feat. Ray Dalton").

Example:

MP3-Tag is "Macklemore" as artist and "Can't hold us feat. Ray Dalton" as track name.

Now I want to hear all tracks from Ray Dalton and featurings with him.

In the search folder I can select Ray Dalton as Artist-folder (above track is missing because the artist is Macklemore) OR Track-folder (only Tracks with Ray Dalton in the track name will be shown) not both!

Shouldn't it be possible to integrate all search results in one search-folder of BubbleUPNP?

Thanks!

Feature requests and question

Hi,

I've been using BubbleUPnP client and server now for a couple of years - love it! I had a couple of features that I wanted to suggest:

1 - Add an "x" to close BubbleUPnP to the controls in the Android notifications dropdown

2 - Open additional streams in the background to cache the next two tracks in the playlist before they are needed

3 - When phone is connected to bluetooth audio output, Google Music app has a button that switches audio output between bluetooth and local. This is very useful and would be good in Bubble, too!

And a question:

I notice that for tracks that are streamed without transcoding, the blue bar advances as the whole track is cached ahead. For transcoded tracks, this doesn't happen. So transcoding is good for streaming at a lower bitrate on slower networks, but if you lose the connection temporarily the music stops. So it's both good and bad.

So is there a way to read ahead for transcoded streams, like you do for direct streams?

And a recommendation for anyone who cares:

Most of the frustrations I have had with DLNA are, it turns out, to do with the DLNA server being poorly implemented. I just discovered "Asset UPnP" and it is amazing! The browsing tree can be customized to make it work just how you need it to for your music collection. This solves all my challenges and prompted me to move my music back off the Google Music cloud and to stream from home again. Combined with BubbleUPnP, it's an almost perfect solution!
