What is your Media Server? I know of one issue with the image viewer where the first image will not display in some case (tap or fling the screen right to display subsequent images). I'm looking into it. Does this happen only with a mobile connection or are you able top replicate it on your LAN connecting to your regular Media Server deivce (eg not the BubbleUPnP Server managed one) ?

Also what limits me to 240p transcoding? Is it my phones hardware? I thought the Inc2 was capable of viewing 720p.

On a mobile connection you are limited by available bandwith, not the hardware.

I am currently using WMP-12. I have tried Twonky before with similar results. Twonky reacted like you say, with the ability to swipe, and have the images display, but not consistently. WMP doesn't like to display at all. This is only on mobile. Everything works PERFECTLY on WiFi in my LAN.

I have this issue as well. I have an OG Droid, Inc1, and Inc2, and they all do it to verying degrees. See screenshot below.

Both are from my Inc2. Tara is my wife's Inc.

Thanks for the screenshots. It looks like it is a BubbleUPnP Server specific issue.
In BubbleUPnP Server Media Server tab, do you see these multiple occurences also listed ?

I think it could be a side effect of reinstalling Android BubbleUPnP several times and not restarting BubbleUPnP Server. In any case you can restart BubbleUPnP Server to reset the Media Server list.

Yes, to a degree. I would have to verify ,the next time it does it, that it shows the same number as on the phone. Also, it does it on my wife's Inc, as well as my sons Droid. Both are running on original install. I have reinstalled mine once.

BubbleuPNP and Mobile data usage

Hello,

I recently purchased BubbleUPNP and have been very impressed with it both as a player and streamer of music and video, however, I recently installed Onovo to monitor my mobile data usage and received an alert that bubbleupnp was using a lot of mobile data.

On checking I have discovered that the software has used around 500MB of data in the last week alone, costing over three times the price of the application in mobile data fees.

Could you please let me know how I switch off all mobile data use for the application, as Onovo is having no luck blocking its use of mobile data. I cannot think of why the player is using this much mobile data when all i'm doing is listening to music. I've been through all of the settings and can't find anything which looks like a 'Wifi-only' switch.

Thanks

The log explains a few things.

You are trying to play an Ogg Vorbis file to the TV. This TV does not support playing Ogg Vorbis.

However foo_upnp exposes 2 additional streams URL for this file: a WAV and a LPCM stream. The TV does not support WAV but do support LPCM (LPCM is a mandatory DLNA format, WAV is not). BubbleUPnP detects that and instruct the TV to play the LPCM stream.

LPCM stream are mostly idententical to WAV except that they can be of infinite length (unlike WAVs which are files with a fixed length). My theory is that this TV consider LPCM as non-seekable stream and thus doesn't update time and do not allow seeking.

There's nothing the app can do for this: the TV cannot play ogg directly an the only compatible format is LPCM.

It is a whole other ball game but this it is hopefully possible through the third party app semperVidLinks doing the heavy work of extracting the youtube stream URL from the exposed youtube web page.
Install semperVidLinks, select it in the youtube share menu and send it to BubbleUPnP (or your fav video player) from here.

Cheers for the response! I'll give that a try. You should ask if you can just include that in your app or something, as it'd make it a lot slicker.

Great job though and thanks again for all the hard work!

BubbleUPnP will use mobile data if you use it with BubbleUPnP Server to stream music over a mobile data connection (you did not say if you use it that way).
For this usage, it is no different than any streaming app over a mobile connection (Spotify, webradio apps, ...).
Given that an average mp3 is a few Mb, you can see it can use a lot of bandwidth quick (but there is nothing abnormal here).

Thanks for the quick answer! By the way I want to say that you are the most "proffesional" dev I have ever see in internet! You answer every message, every problem, quick and clear. I wish some proffesional tv makers, mobile phones and other gadget makers had at least 20% of your personality! I hope that you have a nice job and get paid a lot! You diserve it!

To my problem now: I know that my TV dosn't support Ogg Vorbis, or flac or ape files, that's why I use foobar for decoding (and not only, I use foobar because it can read and stream cue files). But you say that TV doesn't support WAV, at least in Upnp. So, why when I browse directly to foobar's library from my TV, I can play these files and I can see the time bar moving(on my TV)?
I tried another upnp application on my phone and the same ogg files plays perfectly in my tv and I can see the time bar moving (on both my tv and phone) and I can see the total time and the file size. I checked the log file in the foobar and it says that it streams a WAV file. So how can I make bubbleupnp stream a wav file to my LG?

By the way how can I make foobarupnp showing the album art when I browse in my library directly through my tv?( in TVrsity it does show the album art when I browse)

Enhancement Request

Enhancement Request

I've started using Bubble on Android to push videos to my WDTV.

I realise you can adjust playback position by using the slider but I find it inaccurate, is there any way you could add some sort of skip forward/back buttons to the GUI to skip a user customisable amount of time forward or back?

Thanks for a brill app!! :D

What am I missing? what is my caca!!?? lol

I'm very surprised this TV plays WAV as it doesn't declare supporting it. Some devices do not declare all the codecs they support so it is still possible.
Anyway, as a test, to force playback of your ogg as WAV to the TV using BubbleUPnP here's what you can do

- in foo_upnp, edit the BubbleUPNP streaming profile to read:
"Decode always to WAV except mp3,aac,m4a,wav,wma"

- in BubbleUPnP, disable Settings > Advanced Settings > Mime-type check

Now if you play that ogg to the TV with BubbleUPnP, it will instruct the TV to play the WAV regardless of the fact the TV says it doesn't support WAV.

For now you can't: I must update foo_upnp to be more DLNA compliant (like BubbleUPnP is) regarding album art.

Can you explain your use case when you need seek to be super precise ?

I only understand half of your message but if you just want to access Plex as a DLNA Server on your LAN, you do not need to install BubbleUPnP Server or to enter any ip address.
Make sure DLNA is enabled in Plex and it should appear in BubbleUPnP Library tab.

Not super precise but with my mobile its difficult to be very precise at all using the slider, I guess if you have a phone with a large screen maybe its different.

On my videos I like to skip to certain parts to watch, if you were using a standard remote this is very easy by hitting skip a number of times, just wanted to emulate that using Bubble.

Well, I did as you say but no luck! The TV keeps receiving LPCM stream! I enabled the log files of foo_upnp to check them. No.1 is from bubbleupnp, no.2 is from the other upnp software. Hope it helps...

switching landscape/portrait

Awesome app. One bug I found is it does not remember the list position when changing to/from landscape/portrait. Example: browse the list of artists, pick one to see their songs. Go back. All fine. It remembers the last artist you picked.
Now do the same, pick the artist and in the list of songs switch to landscape. Then go back. I will take you to the top of the list of artists instead.
Please fix

    Hello, I am having trouble streaming Tidal to my mpd/upmpdcli renderers using Kazoo as a Control Point and BubbleUPnP server as the OpenHome renderer.
    Kazoo as its own Tidal service, but the library does not even show if a mpd/upmpdcli combination is selected as a renderer, unless on top of upmpdcli there is BubbleUPnP server with its own OpenHome renderer with Tidal support enabled.
    While this upmpdcli+bubbleupnp server setup works perfectly when using the BubbleUPnP app, it does not work with Kazoo.
    I get the "unsupported uri scheme" error on mpd.
    Instead, if I use gmrenderer-resurrect, of course with BubbleUPnP server "on top" of it, Kazoo happily plays Tidal to it. Unfortunately in this case, I don't get scrobbling to Last.FM which I like to have.

    Is there something I can do to fix the issue?

    Thank you

    Can you send me (at bubblesoftproducts@gmail.com) the BubbleUPnP Server log file (BubbleUPnPServer.log.0, usually found on Windows in folder C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\BubbleUPnP Server) after attempting to play with Kazoo a TIDAL track to the upmpdcli renderer managed by BubbleUPnP Server, resulting in that failure to play ?
    Make sure to select the correct upmpdcli renderer in Kazoo (the BubbleUPnP Server managed one).

    Hi there

    I've been using Bubbleupnp installed on a raspberry pi4 to stream music from Qobuz and Tidal on to a Hegel streamer amp, using Linn Kazoo as a controller.

    Over the past week or so I've been unable to log in to Tidal and I can't figure out why. All I seem to get when I click the login tab in Kazoo is an error message (see image)

    Is anyone else having this issue? I'm wondering whether it's because Tidal have been messing with their subscriptions recently...

    It's happening to me as well, starting last week.
    If you reset the application preference using the control panel which also allow to uninstall apps and try again, you will notice that Tidal has introduced a "human" verification, but Kazoo cannot prompt the user properly. Then you will get the same error again.
    Kazoo has been last updated in 2016 so I suppose won't be "fixed" (but I'd prefer to be wrong) so I am afraid we are out of luck here, at least with Kazoo. Unless Tidal changes something but this looks unlikely for a very old app like this one.
    It's a shame, I still like to use Kazoo when I am on a windows laptop.

    BubbleUPnP 1.6.8 and BubbleUPnP Server 0.6.5 are available

    Thanks to everyone who contributed suggestions, bug reports, logs etc.

    BubbleUPnP 1.6.8

    Video transcoding enhancements with BubbleUPnP Server (requires upgrading to BubbleUPnP Server 0.6.5)

    • transcoded video preserve embedded subtitles (mostly found in MKV). MX Player must be configured to use the H/W+ or S/W decoder to allow to select subtitles
    • when playing a transcoded video, ability to choose interactively audio/video streams to be included in the transcoded video (when there is more than 1 audio/video stream)
    • added ability to download transcoded videos (as MKV), preserving all audio/video tracks and subtitles of the original video
      Transcode quality can be set in "Settings > Network And Settings > Video transcoding", in the "File downloads" transcoding section.
      Requires licensed BubbleUPnP.

    New features

    • added Google Music auto playlists: "Thumbs up" and "Last added" (needs a Sync to appear)
    • added exit button to rich JB notification. Exit the app the same way than Menu > Exit
    • added option Settings > Library > Play displays Now Playing. If enabled, play actions in Library immediately switch to the Now Playing screen
    • added option Settings > Now Playing > Keep screen on. If enabled, the screen is kept on when device is plugged to power and on the Now Playing screen. Enabled by default
    • added "Music > Artists > All Albums" local media server folder, listing all albums sorted by album artist
    • added "Show metadata" action in context menu of album folders in Library (useful to see long titles)
    • added instructions for playing tunein radios from the Android web browser, in Settings > About/Help > Tips > Interacting with other apps
    • added ability to edit an item's metadata (title, album, artist) with context menu > Edit metadata in the Playlist tab and in a saved playlist folder (in Library).
      Useful to rename items having missing or incomplete metadata that have been sent to BubbleUPnP from third party apps (ex: tunein). This feature must only be used for items that will be added to a saved playlist. It *does not* modify metadata on the server
    • show album composer in album lists in Library, if composer is present and Settings > Display > Item size is set to Medium or greater
    • downloading a video also downloads the external subtitle file if present
    • local folder search also searches album name and artist instead of just title

    Bug fixes

    • fixed subtitle URLs sent by recent versions of Twonky (7.x) not recognized
    • fixed download of non-media items (such as subtitles) giving an error
    • fixed Stop (long-click on Play/Pause button) sometimes triggering playback of next track
    • fixed "Settings > Display > Multiline items" not working properly in Library album folders
    • fixed lock screen controls not showing when playing videos to external renderer
    • fixed current LAN renderer lost when network connection switches from WiFi to mobile data or no network
    • fixed error when playing podcast sent from Share action of Doggcatcher
    • fixed broken playlist track advance on some Roku renderers
    • fixed images displayed from Wild Media Server being low resolution (workaround WMS bug)
    • fixed Search action not available on phones, in Library folders containing items only, such as playlists. Now available under menu > Search, allowing local search of these folders
    • fixed possible crash when playing a video to a remote BubbleUPnP instance
    • fixed obscure crashes, some of them involving old versions of Android


    BubbleUPnP Server 0.6.5

    • added support for transcoding videos to MKV instead of MPEG-TS in a number of cases. MKV is automatically used when embedded subtitles must be preserved, and
      for transcoded video downloads (both require Android BubbleUPnP 1.6.8+). ffmpeg must have been compiled with MKV support
    • fixed proxy media servers not discovered by Windows Media Player
    • added option -useNumericIpInStreamURL to force the server to return numeric ip stream URLs instead of a hostname.
      This may be required for some specific renderers to accept to stream from a media server via tethering. This setting is forced if the browsing
      client is a Samsung TV, which requires it
    • fixed small CPU spike every 30s on slow NASes
    • fixed stream URLs becoming invalid if browsing large number of items (more than 3000)
    • fixed Sony SA-NS310 renderer recognized as a media server instead of a renderer
    • fixed proxies not carrying the X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar service
    • libshine is used for mp3 transcoding if compiled in ffmpeg (useful on slow NASes as it uses way less CPU than libmp3lame)
    • added missing Standby action support for OpenHome renderers (simply stops playback)
    • fixed transcoded images rarely failing to load due to low read timeout
    • Windows installer: updated ffmpeg to 1.2, added ffprobe, updated Java installer to 7u21

    BubbleUPnP 4.0 announcement


    I've been working on BubbleUPnP 4.0.

    It will refresh the UI with Material Design 3, including (optional) Material You support (on Android 12+). It's been a lot of work and there is still a lot to do as the app is huge (and old, 12 years and counting. First version was released on Android 2.3!). Converting the app settings to androidx.preference, fragments and tweak some prefs for MD3 took several days alone!

    Here's a few work-in-progress screenshots until a beta is available later this month.

    The screenshots show various combinations of material You in dark and light mode. There's also to the ability to combine a light theme with dark bars for a look close to the current Light + dark bars theme (last screenshot). Note that dynamic tinting of the Now Playing screen based on cover colors is not yet implemented (as in the current version) but this is planned.
