The problem is with BubbleUPnP Server and UMS for Windows, not the android app (BubbleUPnP).

You can change the renderer config used for the device by clicking on it in UMS 5 Status tab. Alternatively, you can create a custom config for that device.

To get your android device to load the android profile, either disable the chromecast renderer in General Config tab, or add this line to your Android.conf

Code: Select all

LoadingPriority = 1

Code: Select all

# The loading priority of this renderer. This should be set to 1 (or greater)
# if this renderer config is a more specific version of one we already have.
# For example, we have a Panasonic TVs config that is used for all
# Panasonic TVs, except the ones we have specific configs for, so the
# specific ones have a greater priority to ensure they are used when
# applicable instead of the less-specific renderer config.
# Default: 0
LoadingPriority =

It's probably not configured well, but you can use it as a template. Open DefaultRenderer.conf for more info. EDIT: I don't recommend using my config.

.conf files can be opened with notepad or Notepad ++.

Great job guys, sorry i haven't been around as much as id like.. this first year of being a parent is rough work! the hospital never gave me my parenting handbook!

But seriously, i can see how much hard work and effort into testing went into this major release, i hope we can alternatively call it the Plex killer. :lol:

again, like always, keep up the excellent work everyone, super proud of this!

Hi,

Even with the final release of 5.0.0, I still cannot play the next video in the directory. I get video cannot be played. This is the same error I got when testing 5 beta, 5 alpha works fine. I left a message with a zip with dump files in it, but nobody responded. Here is the link to that message viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2577&start=20#p13716 . Can somebody please help me out.

Thanks,

RMcV

To get better chance developers will dig into it is providing trace debug.log from latest version.

I finished watching an episode of series and I was surfing web with phone at couch when I suddenly realized that my PC was louder than it should've been on idle. So I checked Task Manager and javaw.exe was using 25% of CPU (so it was CPU fan making all the noise). This is new in 5.0.0, never happened with earlier versions before, atleast for me. Unfortunately I rebooted UMS and I didn't remember to take logs to safety. I tried to reproduce this by playing same file for awhile but it didn't work. I make sure to add it next time when/if this happens again.

I have Java 8 Update 31 (32bit & 64bit) installed and I use BubbleUPnP on Nexus 4 (Lollipop 5.0.1) to browse files and to select what I want to watch via Chromecast. OS: Windows 7 64bit

EDIT: I think cause may be thumbnails, because I enabled them after updating to 5.0.0. I'd like to get confirmation for this one if the case is that. Tho dunno why it would take 15min+ to generate all thumbnails, I don't have that many files.

Thumbnails are generated as you browse folders so if folder had not thousands of files, it should not be your case.
In UMS GUI there is a "Magnify" button when you are adding new shares. This button scans all shared folders automatically which can take some time.
If you clicked on it, it should the case.

Few days ago I wrote about free memory after close UMS.
I m not sure it's UMS problem.
I think it's new AVG antivirus which takes a lot of resources.
I removed AVG and installed other antivirus.
