The app does what it has promised but quite often it delivers the message "failed to extract video (serve error)..." when trying to play an IPTV channel. When trying a few times, it plays the channel. Annoying. For a paid app, is unacceptable.
Reviews for BubbleUPnP UPnP/DLNA License
I paid for it, I guess that was my first mistake. It does nothing on my PS3. All that happens when I try to access anything is corrupted file messages. I've sent an email to the support and have yet to hear back after several days. I really want my $5 back, but if I can't even get an email back what could I really expect? This app sucks the biggest balls in the universe. If I could erase it from the internet I would, it's that horrible.
Just what I have been looking for. I can receive my cloud music (without having to download it), attach an old Android phone with Bubble to my a/v receiver using a 3.5 mm audio to RCA cable and then remotely control that phone with another using Bubble also. Elegant and simple. Now I can junk the Roku with its clunky interface.
This is the sort of software music collectors have been asking for. Play your music from almost anywhere to almost anything. Just started using this as an alternative to the Yamaha MusicCast app. So far I am very impressed. It streams music from Tidal to my Yamaha systems flawlessly. And even more impressive, it acts as a media server, streaming FLAC files I have backed up in Google Drive to any speaker system in the house. A Plex alternative. Can even be your default music service streamer.
I bought this app years ago and I stopped using it some time ago as I was no longer using a DLNA server at home but I have installed it again recently and I find that it offers a great way to mix my music files and a streaming service seamlessly. Casting to my home devices is much more reliable with this app than any other streaming app. It's a beautiful and extremely flexible piece of software. Simple but full of options to customise the experience. Thumbs up!
This app is working so much better than hifi cast in maintaining connection with my sony HAP Z1es on our wifi. I am really pleased with its stability. My only complaint is that there is an unusually long silence between songs. I'm talking easily a minute of silence. It's as if the app is buffering the song before playing it. So I timed a gap at 1 minute 45 seconds. That is unacceptable!
A nearly perfect application that I enjoy(ed) connecting to my home system. The inclusion of Tidal is nice, and shows detail by the developer(s). With said detail considered, I am left confused when the developer(s) didn't incorporate gapless playback but rather a long pause between songs. Classical music is my primary choice and gapless play is a necessity. Please consider incorporating gapless play. Hi-Fi Cast is doing gapless and I will have to use that app until gapless is incorporated.
It's not easy to get 5 stars from me, and the reason I can't give this app 5 stars is the gapless playback setting location. Once enabled, it works as expected. But it took very long time to find it. It would be perfect if there was an option to enable it on all renderers with one checkbox. Maybe even enabled by default. I use the app to stream Tidal from an Android phone to Denon AVR X3700H (that don't have Tidal connect). Love the app. Looking forward to upgrade rating when settings improved.
Works well, no issues (anymore). Original review below when I rated it 1 star. "Bought this yesterday to transcode and stream to my chromecast and it worked perfectly yesterday and I was happy. Today I went to use it and it just doesn't work and only displays a blank screen that says BubbleUPnP. I have tried restarting my phone and the chromecast, and reinstalling this app. Nothing worked. Big sad."
It was great for the first 4 weeks but now it won't cast at all. It won't even show the app name on my TV and says chromecast failed to launch. Even after multiple CC factory resets, clearing data, many attempts using different methods and spending hours trying to make it work again it's just dead. There were growing issues with the app when it already tried to play the slat media every time I opened the app and that stuffed my chromecast each time and now it's insurable. I regret buying this.
