I have bought the licensed version and installed it on my Himedia q5 pro. When I try to activate it on my mobile, it does not find a license. I even tried to buy it again, but it says I own it already... Does anybody know what I can do?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@PastagaCigales

Yes, the situation is not ideal as you describe. The thing is that some renderers do not work properly with images without a Stop command between images. I will see what I can do. Maybe yet another super obscure renderer specific setting.
[Android Apps and Games] dez93_2000:
Hey bud, a few bugs in the new version:

1. Sometimes the "now playing" screen is just black.

2. The scroll bar for long playlists is stuttery and doesn't represent the full length / position of the list

3. Not necessarily a bug but: for library "default sort", what IS default sort? There's nothing in settings about this. I presume it includes track number or track name?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@dez93_2000

1. Can you describe when this happen and if you can reproduce it ? Can you post a screenshot of it ?

2. Is it the scroll bar fast scroll handle that seems to move erratically ? What is your Android device and version

3. Default sort is the order in which the UPnP/DLNA media server (Library) enumerates items for a folder, which can be anything
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
New BubbleUPnP Server 0.9-update40 available.

It mainly improves server stability caused by server restarts, sometimes resulting in crashes and almost always in memory leaks.

Also new Windows installers now make BubbleUPnP Server use its own private JRE 11 from adoptopenjdk.net, not relying on Java being installed on the system.

Docker image does not yet have the updated launcher mentioned in the changelog but will be updated tomorrow.

Full details in the changelog.
[Android Apps and Games] J4yD4n:
Would it be possible to store and reuse the baseurl and any other required fields from the discovery packets in the configuration.xml file so on startup BubbleUPnP can reconnect to a server it already knows about regardless of whether multicast is being slow or not working?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@J4yD4n

I suppose you refer to 'BubbleUPnP Server' device discovery since you mention configuration.xml ?

No plan for this as it adds complications. It's best to fix the problem at the root if possible, that is, fix why devices are not discovered or slow to be discovered in the first place. It's a good idea to make sure the router's firmware is up to date as well as the firmware of individual UPnP/DLNA devices (if applicable). A reboot of the router (and intermediate switches if any) can also help.
[Android Apps and Games] dez93_2000:
Sorry for the delay.

1. I was casting from NAS to chromecast on TV using Bubble as the CP. I believe music had been playing for a while on a playlist, and I clicked Now Playing to pause it (or for whatever reason) and it was just black, nothing came up. Eventually the song changed and I came back to Now Playing and it was normal again. I'll send screenshots & describe more if I see it again.

2. Yes. Asus Zenfone 6, Android 11, bubble was 3.5 is now 3.5.0.1.

3. Aaah right ok, thanks.

Hi,

with version 3.5.0.1 i have the error below streming from Qobuz. This error appers only with this album. With oiginal Qobuz app works correctly.

Could you help me to investigate/fix?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@svratonzo

The tracks marked [Extract] are not streamable yet but will be soon when the album is fully released, generally in a few days (look for the Album release date on Qobuz web site). There's a bug in BubbleUPnP where such tracks should be labelled "[Not available]" instead. I've fixed it for next app update.
[Android Apps and Games] Druschii:
Since 2 days I have the problem that I can`t login into my Tidal account with Bubbleupnp. All other devices with Tidal and other apps with Tidal login are working, only the Tidal login in Bubbleupnp doesn`t work.

Error message: Authentication failed : Client not found

Bubbleupnp server want`s always to start the playlist from Tidal, but the app shows me error 600...

Has Tidal something changed, like in January this year???
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@Druschii

This is caused by a recent TIDAL server-side change. See this thread for more info and what's planned:

https://groups.google.com/g/bubbleupnp/c/-iUr_oBIZ68
[Android Apps and Games] Druschii:
THX...I had already thought of this. I have seen the conversation in the Linn discussion board.

So it seems i have to change my overall hardware & software situation after years with Bubble to make sure I can use my local and Tidal music with one App in all rooms.
[Android Apps and Games] ch_998:
Same problem with Tidal here.

But it is also not possible to connect to Tidal using bubbleupnp without bubbleserver. When using bubbleserver, I am able to access the "my music" section, but not the other sections (artists, genres etc.) I hope there will be a solution, I am one of these happy users of bubble since years.....
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
This is a separate issue that will be fixed in an app update very soon. It will also allow to play TIDAL to OpenHome renderers managed by BubbleUPnP Server bypassing the non working TIDAL OpenHome support of these renderers.
[Android Apps and Games] ch_998:
It works again with the new update. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] urquell:
Yep, thanks for the fix!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi @bubbleguuum ,

Since I've updated my Poco F1 to LineageOS 18.1, the Audio Cast Xposed module stopped working. Everything was working fine before the update. BubbleUPnP tells me : Xposed module is not activated or loaded. But everything seems fine (see the screenshots attached).

Thanks for the support and for having developped this incredible app :) !
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@Maxard

Check if a reboot of your devices fixes it.

If it doesn't, start EdXposed Manager and go into hamburger menu > Settings and check if you have 'White List mode' enabled. If you do, either disabled it or make sure to go into 'hamburger menu > Applications' and whitelist BubbleUPnP and any other audio app that you want to use with Audio Cast.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I've already tried to reboot multiple times. I've also reinstalled from scratch the entire Xposed framework.

I checked and I was not using the whitelist. I've tried using it and whitelisting all audio apps, and it didn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@Maxard

Can you send me by email (bubblesoftproducts@gmail.com) the EdXposed logs: Hamburger menu > Logs > Send icon (at the top right)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Done.
[Android Apps and Games] Xhorder:
I tried searching, but didn't find anything;

My question is regarding "casting" Tidal to a UPnP renderer.

Using Bubble on a Android 11 tablet, there is no "notification bar" now playing item. Is this the expected behavior?

When using, for example, MConnect to do the same thing, there is a notification item that shows what's playing and has simple playback controls.

When using Bubble, there is no such item, so if I want to quickly see what's playing I have to open up the full Bubble application.

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
@Xhorder

Normally you should see a persistent notification for as long as the app is running.

If media is playing, this notification also show playback controls.

Do you have this issue only when the tablet is displaying the lockscreen or also if fully unlocked ?

Lockscreen behavior may vary between Android ROM and versions.
[Android Apps and Games] Druschii:
Thx for the Tidal fix!
[Android Apps and Games] Xhorder:
I figured it out. "User error"

Notifications were blocked, although I don't remember doing that.

Thanks, working fine now.

[Android Apps and Games] ThyMaster:
Hi,

Love your app.

Use it on Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Here's my wishlist :

1. Please allow higher res album art. For now the app seems to scale up from 200x200px

2. Please support streaming Pictures. Music and videos are fine alredy.

Using Twonky Media Server 5.1.6 on Linux.

Keep up the good work.

- ThyMaster
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If your WiFi connection is really bad this could happen..or it may be something else. Use the latest foo_upnp version (0.99.35), it has a BubbleUPnP profile that will stream FLAC without conversion to WAV which is not needed.

minidlna is doing the case sensitive search. There's not much the app can do about that. Look at minidlna settings if this is configurable or report it to the developers.

That's expected: you cannot stream local device media yet (this is in the TODO list although it will take some time to implement). You need an external Media Server.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I don't think subtitles are possible with WMP. I'm not even sure how subtitles are supposed to work with UPnP. Maybe some video players infer the .srt URL from the movie's URL. If anyone has experience in this matter, let us know.

It doesn't if your album art is really hi-res and sent as hi-res (not rescaled by the server) (proof). Twonky is known to send low res rescaled covers. In recent versions (6.x) in the www configuration you can associate a MAC Adress to a specific renderer or Control Point and this affects if album art is rescaled or not (in Advanced Setup > Media Receiver, selecting "Linn Kinsky Desktop Control Point" will send full res album art). Not sure how to set this for Twonky 5.x though, you may want to google it or ask on their forums.
[Android Apps and Games] akispavlopoulos:
I can't find the Bubbleupnp profile you mention! I have the latest version (0.99.35) but the profiles I see are default, foobar2000, plugplayer, Windows media player, playstation3, Xbox360, Linn DS.
[Android Apps and Games] amviewer:
Thanks for making that clear about case sensitive search.

I'll have a look if its configurable.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Fo the new profile to appear, remove file foo_upnp.xml and relaunch foobar2000.

This file can be found in:

Window 7/Vista: c:\Users\<login>\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000

XP: the directory where you installed foobar2000.

Set timeout

Hi,

Is it possible to change/choose the timeout?

I am running an Atom processor media server and if my list has more than 30 items i receive a message of timeout. Is not memory related, if i could set to a longer time I am sure that i could access all my files and playlists.

Thanks and great app!

Regards

I found out that some mp3 files had special chars in the mp3tags (japanese I think). I cleaned all the tags and is perfect now. It lists all my mp3s ( about 400) and playlists.

[Android Apps and Games] homar76:
Hi, just to show you there are also other WD tv live user out there ;)

The annoying bug that the next track is not played automatically is the only cause why i didn´t bought the app yet - also the wdlx firmware seems to handle this equal bad like the original firmware.

Maybe its an option that this bug is also posted in the wdlx forum and some guy can fix it at least in their firmware - just an idea?

Album Art

Thank you for a great working app. I use it mainly to play music files from my MediaTomb Ubuntu server to my Onkyo Receiver.

But in the Android app I don't get albumart to work. it would make it look a lot sweeter with albumart.

I have cover.jpg and/or folder.jpg with albumart in almost all the directories.

Do I have to rename the jpg files to something else? Or do I have to resize the pictures?
[Android Apps and Games] kuminamoya:
+1 Same thing here..
[Android Apps and Games] cururu:
you have to put the cover art inside the mp3 file. i use a very nice program called "Tagscan".
[Android Apps and Games] EpicSauce:
Well I bought the app because it worked so well for me with the WDTV Live running WDLXTV firmware with Twonky installed. I was using the app to control the WDTV as the renderer, (outputting to my stereo system) in my testing it was working flawlessly, playing all tracks consecutively, responding to controls - skipping tracks / advancing etc though I found I needed to have the alternate track advance option checked. My early testing was done with a wired connection, now with a wireless connection I get the symptoms others describe here. The selected track plays fine but stops and doesn't complete the playlist. I might see if I can tweak connection settings to see if this improves performance.

... Seems my wireless connection wasn't the issue as its working as well now as it did before, possibly a configuration issue I've inadvertently fixed with Twonky. Thanks for the terrific app!

remote streaming ok, but can't download

Hi, I love the app but I am having an issue with downloading content from my media servers-- I have the paid version and the media server running-- I am able to http and https to my media servers and i can stream content from them. However, when i try to download a file, it always fails... I tried the demo server and downloading content from that works fine. Can you provide some assistance as to why downloading is failing for me? Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Please send me a log file (bubbleguuum at free.fr), downloading a file that fails to download. See first post of this topic for instructions on how to generate a log file.
[Android Apps and Games] jdeior:
Thanks-- I just sent you the log file via my email address: motorbikebeat@gmail.com.

The issue seems to be specific to mp3's-- the embedded cover art gets extracted from the mp3 and gets downloaded, but the mp3 file itself fails to download. Meanwhile, I am able to download videos and photos from the same connection without any issues.

Please advise, thanks.

network renderers

I'm having a problem getting to bubbleupnp to constantly see my slimdevices/logitec wireless media player.

Sometime it does and everything works wonderfully.

Sometime it doesnt see until I reboot, unplug it and replug it, and it comes alive on the network again.

Even when bubbleupnp does not recognize it, I can go directly to it and play my network music on it. After it starts to play, then bubbleupnp recognizes it.

I dont recall this happening in the previous version. I just recently upgraded to the latest version.

Thoughts, comments.

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the log. There's a bug in the app under some conditions that makes it pick the wrong download URL, then failing.

I will fix it for the next release but in the meantime you should be able to have it working by setting Settings > Network And Settings > Lossless audio bitrate to "No transcoding".

With this change:

- if you only ever download mp3, changing this setting has no other consequence than to fix the mp3 download bug you've found

- if you download lossless files (lile FLAC) they will not be transcoded to mp3.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Difficult to say what happens here although nothing that I can think of has changed for discovery in the latest version

If you wish you can send me an email (bubbleguuum @ free.fr) so I can send you the previous version to see if it is better.
[Android Apps and Games] h3mpti:
Hi,

I really like the app and I bought a license to support your work. I used upnplay before and your app is much better.

I miss only one thing that upnplay provides: autoplay of next title in the playlist when the current title ends. I think that would be a nice feature if you look a lot of episodes of a show.
[Android Apps and Games] twinkybot:
Found it yesterday. Is kind of a hidden feature. On my tablet (A700) you have to tap on the scrollbar to see the alphabet. But I used to scroll by.. ah.. yeah just putting my finger somewhere and moving it up/down. So I wouldn't see the alphabet.

One more thing. How can I make BubbleUPNP show the number if the file name starts with one. Moreover if I have a folder containing sub folders which denote the different cds, like CD 01, CD 02 etc.

In the overview I just see the name of the album and cannot discern which entry is which CD folder.

Cheers.

Hello

I have a Problem with my MP3 Files , some will not playing before rename the files without additional characters like " ' " " & " ... example: "I don't like.mp3" give me the massage "Resource not Found (Code:716)" and the player stops, renamed to "I dont like.mp3" play correctly ....

Any chance to fix this without renamed all the files (there are many to search and renamed) ... thanks in advance...

MfG

Edit : btw additional information: my MP3 files are on external sdcard and I play the music on my Onkyo TX-NR 808 over network ... if I browse with the onkyo to the file it will be played ...
[Android Apps and Games] Ultimategeppie:
I won't dare to challenge BubbleGuuum his knowledge, but can't this be overcome by Disabling Mime/type check? (U can find it in Settings --> Advanced --> Mime-type check). It did help me once when my Xtreamer gave the same message.

Worth a shot, but I guess bubbleguuum is right ;)

Best regards,

recommendation for compatible musicplayers?

After much research and thinking I came to the conclusion that I'd like to keep my setup as simple as possible. So I will go to the time and effort and will sell my existing AV-Receiver and replace it with another model which already has DLNA-compatibility included. I would prefer it like that, as I have less devices, power-adapters, cables, remotes, stuff if I do it like this.

I'd like to buy the Onkyo TX-NR414. I'm aware that I won't have the same broad range of supported file-formats (not to speak of video), but I'm willing to accept that - I just hope right now that "DLNA certified" means that I will be able to play most of my music with BubbleUPnP on it.

If anyone has positive/negative experience with Onkyo Receivers + BubbleUPnP, comments will be greatly appreciated.

Ah and by the way, this morning I bought this for my bedroom. As you see, I'm feeling generous (and experimental) right now! :)

Greetings,

[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Where are these files stored ? your Android device ? Another Media Server (which one) ?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
I doesn't do this for videos as it is problematic to determine when the external video player app has finished playing and whether is was because end of video was reached or cancelled by user.
[Android Apps and Games] warhead1978:
external sdcard on the android device...
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Ok. Can you confirm that you play these files to your Onkyo from the Filesystem folder hierarchy in BubbleUPnP ?

You can send me a log file if you want (refer to first post of this topic for instructions).

I strongly suspect this is an Onkyo bug though with URL encoding.
[Android Apps and Games] warhead1978:
I will try to send a log ...

When I use my phone to play with onkyo it fails...

When I use the onkyo to play the files over the UpNp Server in Folder it works ... hopefully I have the right words for you (my English is not the best) ...

Media player sgs didn't work

Media player Onkyo works

Server and connection is the same ...

Edit : send you an email with log file

Confirmed to be an Onkyo bug with URL encoding.

a small wish list for picture streaming

Hello bubbleguuum,

first I have to say thanks for this great app :good:. I'm using it with Android 2.2 and 4.1 without any issues so far. The Froyo device was the reason I bought the app, because there are not that much UPnP-apps for Android 2.2 and not that good ones.

Recently I installed the BubbleUPnP Server which perfectly made my Twonky-Server available over the internet.

I don't know if the picture functionality is a main aspect in your development, but right now pictures are well shown on my devices (screens 3.5" Archos Home Connect and 7" Nexus 7).

As with the picture streaming functionality I like to point some aspects I'd like to see in a future version, if you think they are worth it for implementation:

- for the slideshow random play like for music files

- also for the slideshow selectable transition types

- and for your planned widget not just the music player function, but also the picture player / slideshow ability (right now I did not found any picture widget that supports UPnP)

Greetings and keep this good work going.

simpsonstar
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Image viewing is one aspect of the app between many others, but the latest version of BubbleUPnP (including the server) had a much needed overhaul in this area.

1. random play: maybe as it is easy to add

2. configurable transitions: I'd really like to have them but it requires some important modifications to the image viewer

3. widget: not planned for now
[Android Apps and Games] tannor:
I just tried the app on my nexus 7 to stream movies from my PC using WMP. It seems to work great but for some reason the volume is too low? I tried 3 or 4 different extrenal players and even with the volume up to max I can barely hear it. If i play a video locally with these players it is fine.

Any ideas what might cause that?
