[APP][5.0+][v3.8.0.1] BubbleUPnP - UPnP/DLNA/Chromecast Control Point and Renderer

[lordearl]

@lordearl

On the R8 you need to change 'More > Gear icon > Local and Cloud > Qobuz > WiFi/Eth audio quality' to a HiRes choice.

Ok thanks, confirm 16/44.1 and 24/96 are working fine but 24/192 is stuttering/glitching. I've tested the same files with USB Audio Player Pro on the R8 and there are no playback problems. Any other settings we can change?

Also, I've used the UAPP renderer and tested playing high res files from another android device with BubbleUPNP and the playback resamples to 16/44.1 for some reason.

Hiya, I'm getting a code 600 error when trying to play quobuz albums. I exit bubble and restart and seems to work then.

Also I can't add quobuz tracks to existing playlists. Only can create new playlist

thank you

I have everything working perfectly except ffprobe keeps failing to extract video info (unauthorized) so i cant seek during any videos casted to chromecast. Win 11 7950x rtx 4090 server running on windows machine android app on phone. Anything I can do to fix ffprobe not working? Thanks.

@imjinman

You can if you wish send me a log file, triggering that error 600. See first post of this topic for logging instructions.

Also I can't add quobuz tracks to existing playlists. Only can create new playlist

BubbleUPnP does not support modifying/creating Qobuz playlists as it is not a goal to replicate 100% of the functionality of the Qobuz app. So Qobuz Playlist management must be done in the Qobuz app (which you can also use to share track/albums/public playlists to BubbleUPnP for playback if that's more convenient).

@bluntman420

Can you send me (at [email protected]) the BubbleUPnP Server log file, BubbleUPnPServer.log.0 located in the install directory, after triggering such error ?

Did you change 'FFmpeg audio decoding' to 'All audio formats' in BubbleUPnP on the R8 ?

Yep I got it working over the weekend.
Congratulations on an absolutely fantastic piece of software, it is mind-blowing in terms of the functionality you have managed to include in this package!!!

 

[bluntman420]

I sent the server log as requested. I managed to get seek to work but i still get the error and warnings in server log from ffprobe.

 

[bluntman420]

Scratch that. Only got seek to work for one video.

I'm looking for polish translation for BubbleUPnP. It's some open project to translate this stuff?

@wetxxx

There is no such project. For a full translation, there is an awful lot of strings to translate and it's rather tedious. When I did the English->French translation, it took forever.
That's why the number of current translations is limited, most done by (paid) professional translators.

 

[wetxxx]

Ok from polish i know most people who was used to BubbleUPnP. So maybe in the futrem You consider translate to Polish language.

Hello all. I have the licensed version of BubbleUPnP casting to a Yamaha MusicCast device, from a Synology DS and I a very happy with it as it leaves Yamaha's own app way behind in terms of usability and configurability. I 'd like to suggest 2 features:

1. I think most ex-Winamp users will miss the combination of Now Playing simultaneously displayed along with Playlist and Library (or both). Ok, I admit that showing all 3 items simultaneously would be rather counterproductive on Android devices, due to the smaller screen and the lack of mouse. Still I think it would quite user friendly to have a "Mini Now Playing bar" always present at the bottom of the screen, in Library and Playlist screens, at least for tablet devices. In Library it is already implemented as an option (the Mini Library Player), however it misses the back button, volume control and it is impossible to activate it when the library listing does not fill the screen. So I am suggesting to add an option for permanently showing (a more usable version of) Mini Player at the bottom of the screen, in Playlist and Library.

2. It would be nice to remember the current Library folder on application restart (although, admittedly, that feature would introduce some issues with temporarily non-available network libraries).

Thank you

And two possible bugs (both when playing tracks from Synology NAS, running DSM 7.1 and Media Server 2.04):

1. In the Now Playing screen, when I repeatedly forward to next tracks (without waiting for a few seconds, on each track), sometimes Bubble Upnp is lost between tracks, especially if I also use the backward button. In that case, there is a discrepancy between the track title shown as playing and the actual track being played. Is this a caching problem? I can't find a related setting.

2. Composer tag is not shown in Metadata when playing from NAS. Since this tag shows up normally when local files are played, I suspect that Media Server DLNA does not send the Composer tag. In that case, it's not Bubble Upnp's fault. Can you confirm? Is there anyone out there who knows a remedy (without installing another DLNA server on my NAS)?

Thank you

1.
The mini-player was designed a long time ago and could sure see a few improvements, although I cannot say I'm a big fan of such mini-players, so no promise. For volume control, you can use hardware volume buttons from anywhere (when the app is in the foreground), although it might be less convenient on a tablet vs on-screen buttons. Volume buttons are also available in the BubbleUPnP notification.

2.

This has been asked a few times. I need to look into again but it less trivial to implement it properly than it may look to not make it cause unexpected problems or annoyances.

@jim_pap

1. This is caused by each forward/prev track button tap stacking UPnP commands to the renderer to play each intermediate track. Ideally, presses in quick succession should discard intermediate tracks and only play the last track.
Another usability quirk that has been already reported and that I must look into.
Note that this is not a problem if you use forward/prev track buttons when the renderer is not playing.

2. Yes, the media server has to send Composer tag metadata at browse time. I do not think the Syno media server supports it.
MinimServer (https://minimserver.com) does, but that's another (excellent for music and very configurable) media server.

 

[jim_pap]

bubbleguuum, thank you very much for the quick responding.

Could add icon in shortcut for Your server on Synology NAS? When I take short cuts in tap bar in chrome can't see proper icon. Other stuff from synology has it. Thank you

 

[害怕的美少女]

I found a good apk! Can you add the Chinese language included in this apk file to a future update?
