Ok, finally found a Renderer that worked for me (Kubuntu 10.04.1 LTS), XBMC. Appeared in the player list in UPnPlay, selected, starting playing track from remote storage server (Stora), could also choose from server local to the XBMC box (MediaTomb).
So (i) up for making this open source? (ii) and then collaborating on a version that can take advantage of an Android tablet e.g. has settings for a file explorer style view, downloads Album art and has thumbnails in the browse list, etc.?
Ok, I have experienced this problem, except sometimes it plays the list, sometimes it plays one track, sometimes two. I have supervised play on (I felt things should be supervised ? ), I have left the phone where the wifi signal is particularly strong.
Thanks for your efforts. This SB app made my day. The months of the timestamps in the comments are covered by the icons so it is not possible to get the chronology. Could you please post a Upnp app overview statement in order to get an idea of what this app will do??
Great app, takes me back to the days when I was looking for a way to play mp3s from my pc on my Dell PDA. Just thought I would share some real life results from using this app on my Motorola Milestone, and a few comments.
1. Playback stops when phone locks screen. The out of the box settings on this phone does this pretty much after 5 or 6 seconds of idle, dunno if this is a similar issue on other driods? This however only occurs when upnplay is the current app showing on the screen. When multitasking i.e. in the internet browser with upnplay sitting in the background the music continues without fault
2. Extending and retracting the keyboard also stops playback, needing to press play again to resume music. Again as above however this is only applicable when upnplay is the current app on the screen
I like the app, its very simple to use and above all very basic and minimalist in its appearance which is my opinion is a big plus. Have you looked into graphic equalizers etc? I loved the mega bass option on my late P1i. makes no bloody difference what so ever on the crappy phone speaker(s), but for people who use the phone in the car or through speakers in the house, an equalizer would be a very advantageous addition to the setup.
I just tried UPnPlayer on my HTC Desire running Froyo and streaming from the Asset UPnP audio server from Windows Home Server. My main database is FLAC, so I set Asset to transcode to Wave PCM, and managed to get music playing on the Desire.
1. The screen must remain on or some kind of buffering problem occurs after a minute or so, when the music breaks up into segments of a few seconds with short intervals. This recovers if the screen is reactivated.
Hey, you are definitely on the right track. Thanks for this. Works great on I9000. Please add WMA support. The internal player on Samsung I9000 does support WMA. Maybe you can route local audio rendering to the default player (or make it selectable). If so UPnPlay would be almost perfect as an apha already!
Best, Georg
I use standard windows media network sharing upnp. The mime type is exactly what you say. Is it possible the wma capable media player is not the default player? Can upnplay select (or show) the local player?
Best, Georg
Just thought I would post an error occuring on my motorola milestone for you to take a look at when you have time, opening program either horizontal or vertical works fine however trasition causes the following error message requiring a force close The application UPnPlay(process cx.hoohol.silanoid) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.
I just downloaded as I was looking for a UpNP client app. So far it works good on a Samsung Vibrant. I have a Wireless Cisco Router with UpNP Media Server capabilities and it discovered the device and can create my playlist.
I have 2 questions :
In the playlist screen, how can I get the thumbnails covers (no cover displayed but they are displayed in the player screen) ?
Is it possible to set a option enabling UpnPlay to run even if the smartphone is in idle mode (screen off)
Hey Thanks for this app. It works great for Audio in Samsung Galaxy S. I have a feature request :-). Would it be possible to implement folder selection for the download (or would it be possible to change the location through some configuration files?). The download mode works fine for me. But the default file location is the internal SD card in Galaxy S.
The app receives the mime type of the video by the media server. Depending on this mime type (which might be correct or not) it searches apps that are supposed to be able to play this video type. It only presents a dialog, if there are more than one. So there are lots of places, where things can go awry. You have to have rockplayer installed, the media server has to supply a mime type that rockplayer announced to be able to handle and the video itself must be of a format that rockplayer can play.
Just installed your app. It works with my HTC Desire and a Buffalo Linkstation NAS with DLNA support.
Took a very long time to finally find the NAS on the Network, though.
Maybe it only took very long to map the size able disc.
If this is the case, than some form of progress bar would come in handy.
Hi, thx for your app : it rocks!!
I have just one problem, when I choose a movie to play I have the choice between VPLAYER and YXPLAYER but not ROCKPLAYER (all the thrre apps are installed on my device)do you know why? there is an option to check to have the choice to use ROCKPLAYER to watch a video from UPNPLAY? THX
A minor issue is that I have several cover images in my MP3 library (for different players). The UPnPlay player does not skip any image file, e.g. folder.jpg, when playing music, instead it shows a dialog to select an image application. That is a bit disturbing as the music playback stops until you skip the dialog.
Are there any plans to host the source-code somewhere, for example SourceForge or Google Code? I would be interested in the code as I would like to control my Sony Bravia LCD Renderer with the player.
Any ideas? Does the pad need some kind of background android update / codec? From what I can make out, my server is trying to send it as an mpeg. Anyway, not many people have a deep understanding of how android handle video. Was hoping you might have an idea.
Great app, have not found anything close to this.I have added new media to my server but it does not show up when I try to access Upnplay. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no go. Am I missing something?
The app seems very compatible. Runs smoothly with all UPNP-devices in my home network. Except for one thing. When running a playlist, at the end of each song I have to either shake the phone or press search to resume playback. Tried Andromote as well, at it continues playing all songs. UPNPlay is superior in other aspects though.
Great app, using on Desire HD and Windows 7 on wifi network, sharing my video folder. All my videos appear in UPnPlay except for mkv files. They are just not visible. Wondering why.
Any help is appreciated.
I have found a pattern, the player is only playing the audio tracks that are 2ch, some of the videos I have are a 6ch audio track. I am seeing the settings via the app, the video will play but with no audio. Is there a fix for this?
I bought Android TV box. It is basically a stationary device, which largely has to work through the LAN, than via WiFi. Your program is somehow working, but it is also intended for WiFi. Can we do add to your program so that it works, and through LAN??
This is an old post, but this may help others who stumble on it; make the ripped video folders into an ISO file which is readily playable by WDLive. ImgBurn works great for this purpose.
BTW, UPnPlay is working great on my Galaxy S3.
Hi, we had UPnPlay worked perfectly to stream video from our HP MediaSmart Server to our Viewsonic gTablet. Few days ago, we tested another custom Rom; did not like it, and returned to a previous rom (but a newer release).
Hello,
It was user error on my part.
I installed and select Rockplayer-arm7-neon.apk which is not compatible to Viewsonic gtablet, The viewsonic uses tegra2 cpu. As soon as I switched to Rockplayer Universal. All was well.
I wonder if you would allow some xda developers to incorporate your free version to their custom roms or kernels ?
Thanks
Dave
Hello. Has anyone got this to work with PS3 Media Server? Phone is SonyEricsson Xperia X8 (Android 2.1) and it cannot even see the server. Actually none of the uPNP apps I tried could see it, whereas our blu-ray player can. Any tips greatly received. Also, where does one find the help file please? Thanks in advance.
I have downloaded upnplay into one phone and it works well. I wanted to load it on another HTC phone that does not have market installed on it. I am unable to do so because there is no apk available separately from market. Can you send it to me?
Nice app! I just discovered today that I can control my Onkyo TX-NR708 render with UPnPlay and it works nicely, but the volume control on my Google Nexus 1 does strange things. It causes a change in volume, but not always in the right direction and jumps all over the place. On screen, it shows
I managed to get my Mediatomb to transcode flac to wav and confirmed it was working ok with Windows Media Player.
However using UPnPlay it fails to play anything, without any error or warning. When I play a track it confirms it is 44100Hz wav and then skips to the next track and the next and so on.
Any suggestions to what is wrong here?
Thanks
In order to improve response time of the transcoding process you might need to decrease buffer sizes. For large buffer sizes it might take too long to fill them. When using sendlog you need to install the app Sendlog from the market first.
Hello, my UPnPlay is not picking up any servers at all. I am running it on Xoom, the servers work fine tested it with other devices. Currently using PS3 Media server atm but have tried many others with the exact same result. Is there something I am missing here? I feel its a really simple error on my end, any help you can give would be amazing.
