Yes it does the same thing, although the tether client has more settings in particular for transcoding.

OK, got it. If I understand the other solution correctly, an advantage of the setting on the app is that (once I know the WiFi password) I don't need to be granted access to a computer on the foreign network in order to expose my remote home library. Or could the BubbleUPnP Tether Client also be run on my mobile?

Hello,

I have recently upgraded my Ubuntu 18.04 box and installed an NVidia GeForce GTX 1050. I am running BubbleUPnP Server 0.9-update31 and have verified that the right ffmpeg and ffprobe files are saved in /usr/share/bubbleupnpserver. The server should be able to do hardware transcoding with the NVidia card and QSV. However, the GPU transcoding test keeps failing with the "Test failed: Not Found" error.

Below is the log information for the error. The test seems to be failing due to lack of h264 support:

Code:

[qtp945064729-142 (142)      ] INFO     - 0:04:13.533    - .Main                       : performing GPU transcode test: h264
[qtp945064729-142 (142)      ] INFO     - 0:04:13.542    - .Main                       : GPU transcode test failed: h264: Not Found
[qtp945064729-142 (142)      ] INFO     - 0:04:13.542    - .Main                       : Test failed: Not Found

However, the ffmpeg binary does support hardware h264:

Code:

# for i in encoders decoders filters; do     echo $i:; /usr/share/bubbleupnpserver/ffmpeg -hide_banner -${i} | egrep -i "npp|cuvid|nvenc|cuda|nvdec"; done
encoders:

filters:
 ... hwupload_cuda     V->V       Upload a system memory frame to a CUDA device.

Additionally, the bubbleupnpserver service logs also confirm that ffmpeg supports h264 through hardware:

Code:

[main (1)                    ] INFO     - 0:00:10.298    - .Main                       : ffmpeg supports libx264 software encoder
[main (1)                    ] INFO     - 0:00:10.298    - .Main                       : ffmpeg supports h264_nvenc hardware encoder
[main (1)                    ] INFO     - 0:00:10.298    - .Main                       : ffmpeg supports h264_qsv hardware encoder

I am lost on what to do next. Can anyone provide a clue on how to enable GPU transcoding for my server?

Thanks!

No idea why you get:

GPU transcode test failed: h264: Not Found

Can you check on the machine running BubbleUPnP Server that it can access:

I have following setup:
Local render: FireTV stick
Library: NAS

Whenever I play any video from NAS to FIRETV, audio is audible but black screen.

What should be done?

@unai_goiko

Yup, after all this "not found" issue is not caused by the reachability of this URL. It's rather due to a failure for FFmpeg to perform the hardware test.
Can you send me (bubbleguuum@free.fr) the BubbleUPnP Server log file (BubbleUPnPServer.log.0) just after attempting the GPU test in the Web UI ?

The FireTV stick has limited codec support. It means that for this video it supports the audio codec but not video.

Oh okay. Thanks for letting me know.
Great quick Support.
Appreciate it.

DTS Play Fi support

Has any one been able to use bubbleupnp to play to a PlayFi enabled device?

I upgraded my AVR to an Anthem MRX 720 that has DTS Play-Fi support. Play Fi appears to be an open standard media player. Based on what I could find with a quick search it appears to be a DLNA implemetation. (https://play-fi.com/faq/entry/supported-media-servers).

When controlling the AVR through the PlayFi app on my phone I can select from a myriad of music sources including 'media server' which presents a list of locally detected DLNA servers. My DLNA servers show up and I can browse them (e.g. plex) to play music to the AVR, including bubbleupnp if I turn on the DMS feature to be browseable on the network.

However, when I use a DMC such as bubbleupnp I see the PlayFi DMP endpoint along with my other DMPs but music will not stream to it. I've tried using the local media on my phone, media on a DMS such as plex, mezzmo, etc. They will not play.

Thank you,

Bug

With embedded mkv subtiles
Ie not hardcoded or downloaded from open subs but embeded in the mkv container)

There is no way to disable them! Its profoundly frustrating, i guess for other people they might like a menu for the 30 or so in there to chose which one if any they like, and a timing correction That could be a later feature, but for now please!!! Give us a button to disable

Also, as a ui there is a plathora of options this is a good thing well done, i just dont want or need them and simply want dlna over lan, want a whitelist to alow only certan ip to be able to acess dlna server and want disabling all of the remote stuff much more clear, more simplistic, so holes arent accidently opend up

Keep up the good work! Thanks for an awsome product

Hello, thanks for your excellent app! Since Google seemingly has intention to replace Play Music with Youtube Music for music streaming, any plans to support streaming from personal Youtube Music library to BubbleUPnP ?

RedTownsend · Jan 28, 2019

When I switch between LAN & WAN, the music stops

(Forgive me if I am posting this incorrectly ... I don't see another way.)

I have (Android) BubbleUPnP for DLNA / Chromecast / Smart TV with the license.

I have also (Windows) BubbleUPnP Server serving my music. I have it working great. I LOVE it.

When I am connected to the WAN and launch the Android app, it works great.
When I am connected to my LAN and launch the Android app, it works great.

Here's the PROBLEM ...
When I am listening to music on my LAN, and then leave the house and switch to WAN, the music stops. The same problem happens in reverse.

On my router, I have public ports 58050-58051 forwarded to my local media server.

Is there a solution or workaround? On my LAN, I tried DNS spoofing my "public host name" to the local IP address, however on the LAN the app will not play the tunes.

Thank you for any advice.

I have Bubbleupn server installed on PC (Win 10), Bubbleupnp android latest version and Chromecast 2 attached to Denon AVR and connected to TV. When I play an mkv video with DTS sound (from my NAS), the sound is transcoded by Bubbleupn server and I can hear the sound on my 5.1 audio system, but the sound is not in sync with the video (the first few seconds are in sync, but after that the audio is out of sync). If the DTS audio is transcoded by the Bubbleupnp android app I have the same audio sync problem.
If I play an mkv with AC3 Dolby Digital everything works fine (no transcoding)

How I can fix the problem?

Thanks

This is due to a recent Chromecast firmware bug with multichannel Opus audio to which BubbleUPnP transcodes the DTS audio track. There is no workaround if you want multichannel: you can only force stereo in Android BubbleUPnP by disabling Settings > Chromecast transcoding > Preserve multi-channel audio. 'AC-3 Pashthrough' has precedence over 'Preserve multi-channel audio' so it will not affect your AC3 movies.

@RedTownsend

Any networking change in BubbleUPnP will stop playback as it is an event that reinitializes the whole networking subsystems in the app. Playback is not designed to be resilient to network changes. So you have to restart playback manually on network changes.

No plan for it. i don't think it is even technically feasible.

@Ifurn0

The subtitle display is surely controlled by your renderer (is it a DLNA TV ?) that recognizes the embedded subs in the MKV and display them, independently of BubbleUPnP. While a movie is playing with sub, use the remote of your TV and look for settings to disable the display of subs.

Not familiar with PlayFi. Can you send me a log file attempting to play a music track to it in BubbleUPnP ? See first post of this topic for logging instructions.

Thanks for the response.
The DTS sound can't be transcoded to another codec (AC3 maybe) instead of Opus?

Currently it doesn't, but I will add this if '(E)-AC-3 passthrough' is enabled (Chromecast cannot decode AC3 directly).
