Hi, UPnP beginner here asking for some help

Goal : stream my foobar library over the internet to my Android phone
Current steps :

Installed foo_upnp and restarted foobar
Activated "Allow internet access" on foobar prefs > UPnP, with all relevant info
Configured port forwarding on my LAN router for the TCP port used by foo_upnp
Installed BubbleUPnP on my Android phone

What must I do on BubbleUPnP (or any other equivalent app) for this to work ?
On BubbleUPnP prefs > Cloud, I see a number of services (Qobuz, TIDAL, etc.), but nothing that'd allow me to connect to my foo_upnp server.
Thank you.

Tracks with multiple artists in the Media Library Tree?

In the Media Library Tree, I'd like to split up the %artist% or %album artist% tag if it contains multiple values. In foo_upnp_ml_tree.xml, I'm using the following code to try and achieve this:

Code: [Select]

	<SubTree label="Artists" query="muco PRESENT">
		<spec type="object.container.genre.musicGenre">%&lt;genre&gt;%</spec>
		<spec type="object.container.person.musicArtist">%&lt;album artist&gt;%</spec>
		<spec type="object.container.album.musicAlbum">%album%</spec>
	</SubTree>

%muco% is a custom tag that I use.
%<genre>% works fine for splitting up the %genre% tag, but at the moment I'm only using single word genre names.
%<album artist>% is giving me problems. It works, but it sees not only semicolons but also regular commas as a delimiter. So if I have an album with Davis, Miles; Coltrane, John as artist value, it gets split up like this:

   Coltrane
   Davis
   John
   Miles

Does somebody know how I can make the tree treat only the semicolon as a delimiter?

Good afternoon,
I'm working on a tvOS uPnP client since there doesn't seem to be a client that does:

tvOS support
proper gapless playback
multichannel support

So far, I've gotten the bulk of the work done, but there are two issues I can't seem to find documentation about:

Splitting multiple instances of the same album (and splitting SACD tracks from the same ISO)
I have two copies of Genesis - Abacab (as well as multiples of other albums). One is from my old CD, and the other is an SACD rip. The SACD rip has both 6-ch and 2-ch versions from the same ISO. So what I get from FB2K is the following in the <item> tag:

[Track 1, 2ch, old CD]
[Track 2, 2ch, old CD]
[Track 3, 2ch, old CD]
etc..
[Track 1, 6ch, SACD]
[Track 1, 2ch, SACD]
[Track 2, 6ch, SACD]
[Track 2, 2ch, SACD]
etc..

There are two problems here - FB2k doesn't identify the difference between the two versions of the physical discs in any way. The two discs are obviously different files, so why can't FB2k give some kind of unique ID to the albums in a tag? I can use the ID from the URL, but a proper tag would be cleaner, and is there a guarantee that the ID would actually be unique?

http://192.168.1.2:56923/content/f4557594d62b188b25172817843101aa.wav?profile_id=0&convert=wav&subsong=9

Also, I can't find a preference in the app or plugin setting to split the SACD tracks by channel number. I can do that in code (and already have), but I would think this could be done by the server.

In the end, I could force a split using a title change like "Abacab (CD)" and "Abacab (SACD)".

Why are there three <res> tags for each track?
This is another thing I can't find docs for.

This is what I get for Track 1 of the SACD of "Abacab"

<res duration="0:06:57.000" size="1238387756" bitrate="33868800" bitsPerSample="16"
sampleFrequency="2822400" nrAudioChannels="6" protocolInfo="http-get:*:audio/wav:*">
http://192.168.1.2:56923/content/f4557594d62b188b25172817843101aa.wav?profile_id=0&convert=wav&subsong=9
</res>
<res duration="0:06:57.000" size="73558844" bitrate="176400" bitsPerSample="16"
sampleFrequency="44100" nrAudioChannels="2" protocolInfo="http-get:*:audio/wav:*">
http://192.168.1.2:56923/content/f4557594d62b188b25172817843101aa.wav?profile_id=1000&convert=wav&samplerate=44100&subsong=9
</res>
<res duration="0:06:57.000" size="73558800" bitrate="176400" bitsPerSample="16"
sampleFrequency="44100" nrAudioChannels="2"
protocolInfo="http-get:*:audio/L16;rate=44100;channels=2:DLNA.ORG_PN=LPCM">
http://192.168.1.2:56923/content/f4557594d62b188b25172817843101aa.l16?profile_id=1001&convert=lpcm&samplerate=44100&subsong=9
</res>

Is there some reason there needs to be three versions of this track? I get that the second one is more of a 44k downsample, but I don't understand the reason for the third one. Both the FB2K iPhone app and VLC seem to ignore the second and third <res> tags.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to add album art (CD Cover) in the file Folders view?

<SubTree label="Folders" type="filesystem" />

Hello,
I the foo_upnp_ml_tree.xml file there is the Sub Tree "Years". Does anyone how to make it display in descending order? I'm using the Bubble android app and would like the latest music (2020) at the top instead of scrolling down 50 years or so to reach the latest music.

<SubTree label="Years">
<spec>$left(%date%,4)</spec>
<spec type="object.container.album.musicAlbum">[%album artist% - ]%album%</spec>
</SubTree>

Hello,
is there a way to view the upnp server status (started/stopped) in the status bar or elsewhere in the fb2k GUI? Thanks!

foo_upnp problem: UPnP Media Server could not be started. Port 56923 might be in use by another application

foobar2000 (v1.1.15) / foo_upnp (v0.99.40) is started on my computer automatically at boot time.

However, I frequently get the message "UPnP Media Server could not be started. Port 56923 might be in use by another application", which prevents the server from starting.

The interesting thing is, that it's foobar2000/foo_upnp itself that is occupying this port! If I do a "netstat -anob", I get the following:

###
TCP 0.0.0.0:56923 0.0.0.0:0 ABHOEREN 3268
[foobar2000.exe]
###

I assume that it's the foo_upnp server that is occupying this port, because: Which other component of foobar2000 should be doing this instead?

A simple shutdown and restart of foobar2000/foo_upnp usually fixes this kind of situation.

If it's foobar2000/foo_upnp itself that is blocking that port, then foobar2000/foo_upnp should somehow be able to solve this problem without the need of user interaction.

What do you think?

Thank you very much for this great software!

Kind regards,
Johannes

I have the same problem. I have added foobar2000.exe to my start-up folder, and when Windows starts I get 56923 port might be in use, and foobar2000 media server is not available on my phone until I restart foobar2000 in Windows.

The only other process according to netstat, using this port is javaw.exe which BubbleUPnP needs.

I solved it by removing the shortcut to foobar2000.exe in the start-up folder, and made a scheduled task til task scheduler instead. Run foobar2000.exe at login with 30 seconds delay, now foobar2000 starts after BubbleUPnP and there is no error message port 56923 in use, just a normal start and foobar2000 media server works in BubbleUPnP.

Hi everyone

Ive been using foo_upnp to upload to my iphone for probably 4 years without a single issue but suddenly it has stopped detecting the server. Apart from restarting the server (to no avail) I really don't know where to begin... Could one of you good people give me an idea on where I should start?

Thank you!

I understand this plug-in is more or less abandoned at this point, but just asking - I've been unable to get this to work with our iphones, despite the same URL opening on computers around the house and so on using the external ip address. I get all the way to the stream loading interface in Safari, and then it instantly goes to a play icon with a line through it. If I change the extension to wav it appears to be willing to play, but just spins and no audio ever streams. I'm trying to stream the now-playing content from Foobar2k.

Also, when the stream loads on computers, I am not getting any metadata - ideally I'd get artist and title passed via the stream, is this possible with this plug-in?

I just had the same issue on Android, I changed the port number in the server settings (56923 by default, I modified randomly by 56920), and it works again...

On my server I'm using bubbleupnp server (for OpenHome) on OSX with the Asset UPnP DLNA server. I'm using the foo_upnp renderer in foobar on Windows. Everything is working to bitstream dsd (.dsf files) fine. One issue is that I cannot seek/scrub .dsf files in any controller including linn kazoo, mconnect, lumin...etc. It restarts the track at the beginning.

FLAC works fine.

Is this a known bug?

I realize support for this plug-in is non-existent now but I'm wondering if anybody has the answer to this one...I'm using the Logitech Media Server UPnP/DLNA bridge to connect it to Foobar2k using foo_upnp, and it works flawlessly to crossfade until I get a short track less than 10 seconds or so, and it won't crossfade. The log on the LMS side normally shows gapless but with a very short length it returns "gapped" instead, which I presume is triggered by foo_upnp. Is there some buffer setting that might cause this behavior? The same tracks played directly in Foobar2k work perfectly, so it definitely seems to be a bridge issue.

Hello,
I am running FB 1.6.7 and I am trying to install this plug-in, but FB reports unexpected error (see attachment) and the component is not current (2015 dated).

Do you know of any alternative?

I just need a solution to stream audio from another PC to my Foobar PC input (so to have Foobar playing that stream).

Thanks and regards
Andrea

Has anyone successfully connect to Huawei Sound (in partnership with Devialet)?
