First off, this + BubbleUPnP + a decent cell connection is basically the greatest thing ever, so thanks for that!
Anyway, I have this in my tree XML: CODE <SubTree label="Album Artists"> <spec type="object.container.person.musicArtist">%<album artist>%</spec> <spec type="object.container.album.musicAlbum">%album%</spec> </SubTree> to match the individual artist splitting trick mentioned a few pages ago. It doesn't quite work, though -- while %album artist% works the way it should (matching this), %<album artist>% only lists albums with ALBUMARTIST set. Any ideas? |

Ahoy foo_upnp people,
I'm looking to accomplish two different things: 1. Allow quickly scrolling to an artist by having an index of first letters available. 2. Shuffle amongst all songs in a genre. I (gratefully) note the "split tree nodes by first letter" setting, but that applies globally, so if I enable it it will break functionality of goal #2, as some of my genres have more songs that I have artists. Is there a way to have a first letter listing just for by the Artist menu item? I checked out foobar2000/titleformat_help.html to see if there was anything obvious I could try in the media tree xml file, but no luck. Random things: -I have a custom media tree to allow goal #2 that removes the by artist xml snippet from the genre SubTree -I have about 380 artists and the number of songs/genre ranges from 20 to 7,000, so doing this by setting the >nodes number won't work Many thanks if you can offer any help/ideas/amusingly cutting remarks about why this is stupid idea. |

I have my foobar and upnp installed and working on one of my PC's. However, when I use PlugPlayer's iPhone app to control the installation in question, I can't figure out where the current playlist is being displayed in foobar on the PC?
I have tried finding this playlist with the columnsUI display and with the default display. I can't figure this out whether I am using my iPhone as the renderer or the foobar on the PC as the renderer. I am a bit of a foobar newb, for sure, but I am a pretty savvy PC user and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Help? |

I am finding that when playing back FLAC files to a PS3, the music stutters about 5 -10 times in a 3 minute track. The silence lasts anywhere from <1 s to >3 s. The problem occurs with both LPCM and WAV formats. I am using a wireless connection.
I can playback the same files using Windows Media Player, on the same host pc, as a media server to the PS3 without any stutter. Is there anything I can do to help troubleshoot the problem? |

Hi Bubblegum
This is a fantastic plugin. I dont know how to thank you enough for it. It has made my musical life so easy...the setup i have is an HTPC running XBMC, playing my music on HiFi amp and controlled via a remote and displayed on my plasma tv. It was great, except it was a pain searching through 40,000 songs for an individual one. Now, because of your plugin, i do all my sifting of songs on my laptop through foobar and then send it to XBMC via UPnP. Fantastic. Except, i have one small problem. If i select an album in foobar, right click and then try to send it to XBMC over UPnP, i just get to hear one song and not the rest. Am i doing something wrong? Any help/advice will be grately appreciated. Thanks for your efforts. |

Hey, I love this plugin and use it more and more often, especially in combination with Bubble upnp on my Android (SGS2) phone
However, few more functions would be great to have: 1) for example, I would like to use foo_upnp in my work network to stream my music collection to my cell phone or other computer. The work network consists of >200 computers and, from obvious reasons, I would like to keep my music collection private, unaccessible to most of the computers. Is there any way how to protect the access to the foobar library by password? 2) The transcoding part of the program is great and extremely smart. There is only a small thing missing for me in the transcoding functionality. I would appreciate to have more options/formats for transcoding. I personnaly hate mp3 and would be love to see the ability to transcode to ogg vorbis or mp4 (lossy formats) or flac (lossless) or a different codec of personal choice. I believe that it would bring the flexibility of the foo_upnp one level up. Both ogg and aac can give you better quality at lower bitrates used in 3G networks for instance. On the other hand, flac would decrease the bandwidth required to stream the music in lossless quality. The wav, i´m currently using for streaming of my collection in my home network is fine, though lossless compression would be even better. Thank you for all the work, it´s enormously useful to many people! |

An update... I found some clues in the documentation http://bubbleguuum.free.fr/foo_upnp/foo_upnp.txt: I have problems with streaming on my PS3 ---------------------------------------- - Use a wired connection wheneven possible. If using wireless, change your wifi channel id. - Set the output frequency to 48Khz: http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en...tfrequency.html Unfortunately a wired connection is not an option. I did switch the wifi channel of the router but did not see an improvement. I am running Windows 7 and the network adapter is running a Quality of Service Packet Scheduler which may allocate bandwidth between competing applications. I did find an improvement when I stopped the TVersity media server (which streams LPCM without a problem, but has other issues) that was also running on the same host PC. |

I am using foobar upnp, and it does not sonos devices under the controller tab. I can see sonos devices on several ipod and android app. Are there any plans to add this functionality to foobar?

After an exhaustive search on this forum I have determined I am unable to solve this problem.
I have installed PlugPlayer on my iPhone 3g. It does see my foobar2000 server and its content. When I go to play a file, the player launches, the play button turns to a pause button (indicating its playing) but it does not play and the track elapsed time does not move. I adjusted the PlugPlayer profile in the foobar settings to no avail. I also followed the recommendation to disable the safari video player. I also have PlugPlayer on my iPad and suffer the same issue however on the iPad i get an "error 4" message pop up when I attempt to play files. The log file for foobar (set to Info) shows: 0.003: foo_upnp::on_init(136)/5016: INFO: foo_upnp: version 0.99.35 Any ideas on what I am missing? Thanks. |

I was finally able to take some time to update the plugin, addressing some of the issues of the latest few months.
Here's v0.99.36 (see first post for download or go to the foobar2000 components site) NOTE: the next release of BubbleUPnP Server will allow remote Internet access of any UPnP AV Media Server, using foobar2000 as a client, with optional transcoding. Changelog

Is there any way to get the UPnP Controller to work with my Panasonic VIERA E30 Series TV? I get
CODE Play Error: Read error (703) whenever I try to play to it, however I am able to use the Windows Media Player "Play To" without error.My apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, and thanks for the plugin (and the update!) edit: Just saw the CODE server: attempt at fixing streaming not working with some Samsung DLNA TVs and possibly other DLNA TVs. changelog - not working on mine with the 0.99.36 update.

This error is a different issue than the one supposedly fixed for Samsung TVs. It looks like this TV fails at reading the stream from the server, for an
unknown reason. Did you have the same error (Play Error: Read error (703) with the previous version of the plugin ? EDIT: if you wish you can post a new log with level = FINER so I can see what http request it makes. This post has been edited by db1989: Apr 5 2012, 20:42

thats awesome! streaming to samsung ue40c7700 and ht-c6930 works brilliant now... only thing that doesnt seem to work is stream album art (folder.jpg), to my htc phone its working and from nas via twonky to samsung tv it works too!? but i dont mind... and its that fast searching and jumping through my collection. big big thx!!! now i would beg you program exactly that upnp server standalone for nas - that would be awesome, having the abilities and power of foobar tagging and upnp streaming without the need of a running pc/laptop all the time... ;-)

Just a heads up. Although I could download the dll from bubbleguuum's site, not so from the foobar components site. Whatever I tried, it keeps downloading the zip with version 0.99.35, even though foobar2000 sees there is a new version.
-------------------- In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.

I released BubbleUPnP Server 0.5.3 which allows to use the remote Internet access feature of foo_upnp with any UPnP AV Media Server, with optional transcoding to mp3.
For example you can stream from your UPnP NAS via the Internet, transcoding if necessary. More details here This post has been edited by bubbleguuum: Apr 6 2012, 22:27 |

Any chance of track search being added?
For some reason, BubbleUPnP seems to think that foo_upnp (or BubbleUPnP Server) doesn't support library searching. Without having force library search enabled in BubbleUPnP, searches fail 90% of the time:    It works for the first search but subsequent searches fail:

I will add support for it in the next version of the plugin. Thanks for making me notice, I had forget that. This post has been edited by bubbleguuum: Apr 6 2012, 23:04 |

There seems to be a memory leak in this version. Stopping the server doesn't free memory. After several stops and starts, foobar2000's memory usage becomes quite high.

Hey, I see you've begun working on trying to get this working with Samsung DLNA TV's!! Just wanted to chip in my two cent, I have a Samsung UE37D5000 series TV, and figured I might be of help testing, etc. If it's any use to you, here's a log from earlier today when I was testing out the new upnp beta: http://pastebin.com/8qhMBAWn
