<h3>4.4.12</h3>

<ul>
    <li> fixed sharing media links to BubbleUPnP not working anymore with some apps
    <li> fixed playing to Fire TV music tracks decoded to PCM (either for natively unsupported codecs or forced) not working
    <li> added "Year" and "Publisher" metadata to Qobuz tracks from Qobuz playlists
    <li> added support for SMB 3.1.1 dialect
    <li> increased max items to 5000 for 'Random Tracks' and 'Random albums' folders
    <li> fixed failure to download from opensutitles.org if video title had more than 256 characters
    <li> do not list 'Add to Saved Playlist' action in 3 dot menus when 'Settings > Library > Saved Playlists' is disabled
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the app
</ul>

<h3>4.4.11</h3>

<ul>

    <li> improved transcoding of DSD to PCM. Such operation happens when playing DSD to a renderer not supporting that format natively,
        or if some other option in 'Settings > Renderer settings' forces it:
        <ul>
            <li> if WAV is the target format, transcode to 24 bit (previously it was wrongly 16 bit). If the fomat is LPCM, transcode is always 16 bit
            <li> if 'Max sample rate' is set to 'Unlimited', use 88.2 kHz as the target sample rate. This is sufficient for such
            transcode as higher sample rates do not improve audio quality. However, if  'Max sample rate' is set to a specific value (ideally a multiple of 44.1 khz),
            it will be used as target sample rate
            <li> added 352.8 kHz samplerate in 'Max sample rate' setting. Can be used as DSD target sample rate
        </ul>
    <li> fixed hardware accelerated video transcoding (for Chromecast) not working on older 32-bit devices (armeabi-v7a and x86)
    <li> fixed failure to download from opensubtitles.org failing on ipv6 networks
    <li> improved handling of sharing media links from some apps
    <li> made text selectable in the 'Show Metadata' dialog using long-press on text, allowing to copy it to clipboard
    <li> fixed a few rare app freeze (ANR)
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the app
</ul>

    <li> fixed missing Play button in Library grid view mode when in multiple selection mode
    <li> fixed 'Now Playing' tab sometimes showing wrong total track count appended to the track title when playing tracks to an OpenHome renderer and the 'Play displays Now Playing' setting is enabled
    <li> fixed 'UPnP/DLNA Libraries' section in the Library tab sometimes not listing servers (indicated wrongly as 'hidden' in the section header)
    <li> fixed rare app freeze (ANR) when a Chromecast is disconnecting while attempting to play to it
    <li> added ability to sort the playlists in the 'Qobuz > Playlists' folder by different sort criteria (sort icon in the top bar). Default sort order is by date modified
    <li> added ability to block TIDAL track for it not to appear in TIDAL Radio and Mixes. It can be found in the 3 dot menu of a TIDAL track in 'Now Playing' and 'Playlist' tab
    <li> added ability to edit cover URL in item 'Edit metadata' dialog. Mostly useful to add a cover URL to manually added Internet radio stations
    <li> reduced min value for 'More > Settings > Library > Grid item size' to 100dp, allowing grids with more columns
    <li> a few other obscure fixes
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the app
</ul>

<h3>4.4.9</h3>

<ul>
    <li> fixed playing mp3 tracks on Google Pixel 9 stopping unexpectedly mid-track
    <li> fixed loading folders containing local videos being slower than it should be (or even failing to load), especially with a large number of videos
    <li> added support for playing HLS video streams to Samsung TV (usually shared from other apps to BubbleUPnP).
        HLS video is converted once to a local MP4 file (can take a while) that is cached for 3 days on local storage
    <li> Qobuz: in the "Albums", "Tracks" and "Purchases" favorite folders (in the "My Music" section), added a "Genre" subfolder allowing to browse albums and tracks by genre
    <li> Qobuz: added Genre metadata to individual tracks that are not already in an album container (My Music > Playlists, Tracks, ...)
    <li> Qobuz: removed "Still trending" section not available anymore
    <li> TIDAL: implemented sorting of "My Playlists" and "My Favorite playlists" folders (in the "My Collection" section) by Date added / Date modified / [A-Z] order. Tap the sort icon in the top bar of these folders
    <li> fixed SHOUTcast streams not playing out of the box on some Philips renderers
    <li> fixed a rare occurence where Qobuz/TIDAL tracks added in a 'Saved Playlist' would not play

    <li> fixed failure to play TIDAL tracks after 24h the app had been running
    <li> fixed Now Playing album art not vertically centered on tall devices in portrait
    <li> fixed sharing multiple content:// items from third party app to BubbleUPnP being added in random order in the Playlist tab
    <li> fixed sharing Android Media Store items from some third party apps to BubbleUPnP resulting in items having no metadata on some Android devices
    <li> fixed playing TIDAL tracks to OpenHome renderer managed by 'BubbleUPnP Server' not using OpenHome TIDAL support in some specific scenarios
    <li> fixed failure to save port for a SMB server whose Name field is specified as &lt;ip address&gt;:&lt;port&gt;

    <li> fixed 'Audio Cast' stopping playing when going back to BubbleUPnP after putting it in the background with the back action
    <li> display a warning popup if 'Audio Cast' is started when the app is configured with background restrictions in its system settings (which cause 'Audio Cast' to not work properly). Popup displays instructions for fixing that situation
    <li> fixed 'Shuffle Library' in album mode not playing gaplessly if 'Gapless control' is enabled
    <li> fixed a few specific renderers repeating last track of Playlist tab with 'Gapless control' enabled

    <li> added seek support for some HLS videos sent from other apps
    <li> tapping a PDF booklet link in a track's metadata dialog now spawns a PDF viewer app chooser instead of opening the link in a web browser. This is mainly for Qobuz and MinimServer booklets
    <li> improved compability with the Wavelet app (and possibly other sound processing apps) where it would not always detect that BubbleUPnP is running to apply equalization to local playback
    <li> fixed Qobuz not working on Android 7

</ul>


<h3>4.4.4</h3>

<p><b>Removed Google Drive browsing support</b>

<p>
Google Drive browsing support has been removed due to Google requiring developers to perform an expensive and cumbersome annual app security audit to allow access to it.

<p>
You can still add Google Drive media to the Playlist tab with this method, although it is only
pratical for music files as it will make the Google Drive app download files locally:

<ol>
    <li> make sure you are logged to Google Drive in the Google Drive app
    <li> go into the Playlist tab
    <li> go to '3 dot menu > Add from File Picker'
    <li> tap the hamburger menu (top-left corner) and select your Google Drive account in the pane
    <li> browse Google Drive and tap the media you want to add to the Playlist. To select multiple items,
    long-press the first item then tap subsequent items and finally tap the 'Select' button in the top bar
</ol>

<p>
You can alternatively consider moving your media to a supported cloud storage provider: Dropbox, Box, OneDrive.

<p><b>Other</b>

</ul>

<h3>4.3.4</h3>

<ul>
    <li> added support to the 'Local and Cloud' Library for recognizing .m4b Audio Book files when browsing by filesystem.
    These files are handled identically to .m4a files and there is no chapter support
    <li> added support for using the new Android GPU Chromecast video transcoding support provided by 'BubbleUPnP Server for Android' v1.2.4.1 update.
    That's for when the Android version of 'BubbleUPnP Server' is used as an alternative to the Desktop/NAS version for transcoding duties
    <li> added 'More > Settings > Library > Item tap action > Play all items, playback starts at tapped item'
    <li> fixed regression causing failure to play LPCM streams

    <li> ask if TIDAL login is done via Google account to spawn external web browser instead of embedded WebView whose Google login choice is grayed out
    <li> improved compatibility of 'Audio Cast' for playing to 'USB Audio Player Pro' renderer (automatically use FLAC + more buffering)
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the app
</ul>

<h3>4.3.3</h3>

<p><b>Audio Cast</b>

<ul>
    <li> added FLAC support to Audio Cast as output format. Can be set in More > Settings > Audio Cast > Renderer settings > Audio format.
        FLAC will not be picked by default, unless a renderer support neither WAV nor LPCM (rare).
        FLAC uses less network bandwidth at the expense of a bit more CPU usage. It is also does not have the max duration limitation of WAV format
    <li> changed Audio Cast default samplerate to 48 kHz (from 44.1 kHz) to match the audio hardware and avoid unnecessary system sample rate conversion.
        It still can be set to 44.1 kHz in the renderer's Audio Cast settings in case 48 kHz is problematic
    <li> added More > Settings > Audio Cast > Maximum duration without audio.
        If no app is playing audio for this duration (default: 30 mins), Audio Cast will automatically stop (instead of playing silence) to save the battery. This is also the maximum duration Audio Cast can be paused (in the playing app)
    <li> added some missing translation in preferences

</ul>

<p><b>Other</b>

<ul>
    <li> re-added 'More > Settings > Renderer settings > (pick renderer) > Proxy TIDAL tracks'. This setting is enabled
    by default and can be disabled for renderers that work fine without proxying. Proxying does not alter audio quality
    <li> made 'Now Playing > 3 dot menu > Seek to position' allowing to set a position past 10h (useful for long audio books)
    <li> made 'Internet Access with BubbleUPnP Server > Add to Android Library' disabled by default. If you enable
    this setting on Android 11+ you will be instructed to pick a track cache folder different that the default folder
    not accessible to the Android Media Scanner
    <li> fixed 'Internet Access with BubbleUPnP Server > Cache folder' always asking unnecessarily for WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission on Android 13+.
    That permission is now only asked below Android 11, if necessary
    <li> fixed downloading a subtitle from opensubtitles.org with 'Also put copy in Downloads folder' enabled always asking unnecessarily for WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission on Android 13+,
    which could not be granted and prevented the copy to be done.  That permission is now only asked below Android 11, if necessary
    <li> for settings involving picking a folder, always use the system folder picker. Fixed label text in some dialogs that were too long
    <li> fixed Local Renderer not doing FFmpeg decoding for HLS audio streams when FFmpeg decoding is enabled for all audio formats in settings
    <li> fixed regression where restoring automatic backup (if enabled) on app reinstall would fail
    <li> fixed System UI crash on some Nokia (HMD) devices running Android 12 (was caused by notification)
    <li> fixed volume control not working on 'Mi AI SoundBox' renderer
    <li> improved Qobuz/TIDAL error messages on playback failure
    <li> a few other obscure and minor fixes and tweaks
</ul>


<h3>4.3.2</h3>

<ul>
    <li> remove unplayable Qobuz tracks at browse time (tracks that do not exist anymore, mostly found in user public playlists) to prevent them from stopping playback track advance
    <li> enable local hardware Chromecast transcoding for some Android devices running Android 10 and below
    <li> fixed intermittent System UI crash on some Motorola devices running Android 12 (was caused by notification)
    <li> if a downloaded subtitle cannot be written to local storage because of an existing filename, a message is displayed about removing it manually in a file manager app
    <li> if browsing Synology NAS root fails with error "Action Failed", a help message is displayed about going into its web config to allow the app to browse
    <li> removed 'Proxy TIDAL tracks' setting as proxying is always enabled for playback reliability
    <li> fixed possible failure to play to an audio-only renderer only the audio track of a video
    <li> fixed failure to play Audio Cast to OpenHome renderer in free version of the app if Playlist tab has 16 items
    <li> fixed failure to download files from Technisat media server (recordings)
    <li> fixed Qobuz favorite folders limited to 2000 items
    <li> fixed subtitles on chromecast possibly showing unwanted garbage tags
    <li> fixed a few obscure and rare crashes
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the app
</ul>

<h3>4.3.1.2</h3>

<ul>
    <li> hotfix for failure to play TIDAL for some users
</ul>

<h3>4.3.1.1</h3>

<ul>
    <li> fixed a few metadata cache issues
</ul>

<h3>4.3.1</h3>

<ul>

    <li> <b>improved loading of some Library folders to be much faster, using a metadata cache stored on local storage.</b>
    This applies mainly to folders part of a filesystem and containing media items, for which the app extracts metadata.<br>
    In particular, loading some subfolders of 'Internal Storage', 'Folders', SMB, WebDav and cloud storage will be much faster after the initial first load.<br>
    This cache can be optionnaly disabled in More > Settings > Library > ('Metadata cache' section) > Enable.<br>
    It can also be cleared in that section with 'Clear', which can be useful if you externally update the metadata of the files (with a tag editor for example for music files)<br><br>

    <li> <b>fixed playing videos to Chromecast whose audio is locally transcoded</b>, possibly resulting in audio not playing in sync with video<br><br>
<!--
    <li> <b>fixed TIDAL tracks always played proxified to renderer</b>.<br>Although, it did not prevent TIDAL tracks to play,
    it made the 'More > Settings > renderer settings > (pick renderer) > Proxy TIDAL tracks' setting not being honored when disabled (which is the default for most renderers).<br>
    <b>If you now experience TIDAL playback issues (especially with HiRes), please do enable that proxy setting</b>, which is mandatory for reliable TIDAL streaming on some renderers<br><br>
-->
    <li> improved video thumbnail extraction<br>
    <b>Note that video thumbnail extraction is disabled while any video is playing</b>, to prevent possible playback issues<br><br>
    <li> fixed a few obscure crashes
</ul>

<h3>4.3</h3>

<p><b>TIDAL HiRes FLAC support</b>

<p>
    With a TIDAL HiFi Plus subscription, you can now enable HiRes FLAC playback
    in More > Settings > Local and Cloud > TIDAL > Audio Quality > Up to FLAC 192 kHz / 24-bit.
    If both HiRes FLAC is enabled and the 'Show HiRes indicator' setting is enabled, albums available in FLAC will be indicated with a &#x1f177; symbol
    appended to their title.

<p><b>Hardware accelerated Chromecast local transcoding</b>

<p>
    Local video transcoding for playback to Chromecast is now hardware accelerated by your Android device, whenever possible
    This results in vastly more efficient transcoding, a tad less processor intensive with less heat and battery drain.
    It also makes possible to transcode videos that were too heavy previously (resulting in stutters).
    If hardware transcoding fails or is not possible, the app will gracefully fallback to software transcoding.
    Hardware transcoding can be disabled in More > Settings > Chromecast transcoding > Use hardware transcoding.

<p>
    Software transcoding has also been improved, made less processor intensive at the expense of using more network
    bandwidth (which is usually not a problem). Moreover, a new 'Faster software encoding' setting has been added to make it even
    faster (requiring even more network bandwidth for good quality).

<p>
    With this overhaul, there is a new video quality setting ('Video encode quality') characterized by a max bitrate
    for the encode (40, 20, 10, 5 Mbits/s choices) that applies to both hardware and software encoding.
    In practice the encoding can be much lower than this maximum, depending on video.
    The default is set to 10 Mbits/s which should give good results in most cases, but 20 Mbits/s is advised if the
    network bandwidth is available for it (there is no stutter).

<p>
    Refer to the Help section of the 'More > Settings > Chromecast Transcoding' screen for more tips, in particular how
    to troubleshoot stuttering videos.


<p><b>New ad consent screen in European Economic Area (EEA)</b>

<p>
    Users of the free version of the app located in the EEA (including UK) will
    see a new GDPR compliant screen for showing ads, with tweakable settings.

<p><b>Other</b>

<ul>
    <li> updated FFmpeg to v6.1
    <li> faster video thumbnail generation
    <li> fixed some local storage folders possibly failing to load (especially if containing videos)
    <li> fixed some videos in mov container and videos with mpeg4 codec and mp3 audio (usually in avi container) not playing to Chromecast
    <li> fixed failure to login to TIDAL when the Local OpenHome Renderer is the active renderer
</ul>

<h3>4.2.2.1</h3>

<ul>
    <li> hotfix for broken preset themes in v4.2.2
</ul>


<h3>4.2.2</h3>

<ul>
    <li>fixed 'More > Settings > Renderer settings > (pick renderer) > Proxy TIDAL/Qobuz track' settings having no effect for all renderers other than of OpenHome type.
        This resulted in proxying not enabled even if the setting was enabled.
        This regression was introduced in v4.0 and can explain Qobuz/TIDAL playback issues on some renderers since.
        If you cannot play TIDAL/Qobuz tracks at all on your renderer or playback is unreliable (stops mid-track), please do
        try with the relevant proxy toggle enabled. If you already enabled it previously, you must manually re-enable it as
        it defaults to disabled as part of the fix for this issue
    <li> fixed 'Audio Cast' not working on Android 14
    <li> fixed no renderer/libraries detected on ChromeOS devices running Android 13
    <li> fixed playing to Xbox One (all models) playing only 1 track
    <li> added 'More > Settings > About / Help >  Show Changelog when app is updated' to disable showing the changelog on app updates
    <li> added Year sort option in Library lists/grids to not include year separators
    <li> fixed 'More > Settings > Control > Sharing handling' setting not always working properly when sharing from a third party app and BubbleUPnP is not already running (has to cold start)
    <li> fixed playing playing AAC tracks from Plex possibly not working
    <li> fixed a few obscure crashes
</ul>

<h3>4.2.1</h3>

<ul>
    <li> fixed 'Audio Cast' toggle not being available
    <li> fixed crash entering More > Settings > Configure device visibility
    <li> a few minor fixes
    <li> KNOWN ISSUE: as of Oct 22th 2023, downloading subtitles from opensubtitles.org fails due to an issue on the opensubtitles.org side
</ul>

<h3>4.2</h3>

<ul>
    <li> global app wide hunt for UI freezes ("Android Not Responding" dialog), resulting in many of them being fixed in these areas: switching renderers, Chromecast, Local OpenHome renderer,
        Qobuz/TIDAL with OpenHome renderers managed by BubbleUPnP Server, sharing media to BubbleUPnP, app startup and exit (rare), and more
    <li> fixed sharing albums/tracks from the TIDAL app to BubbleUPnP not working anymore
    <li> fixed sharing from 'Movie HD' app to BubbleUPnP not working
    <li> fixed inability to scroll to display all media servers in Devices tab if many of them
    <li> fixed a few other minor issues and obscure crashes
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the app
</ul>

<h3>4.1.3</h3>

<ul>
    <li> added 'More > Settings > Library > Compact lists'. When enabled, increase list item density with reduced vertical padding between items and slightly smaller thumbnails. Also applies to the Playlist tab

    <li> fixed recent global failure to login to TIDAL with 'null user' error
    <li> fixed login to TIDAL via 'More > Settings > Local and Cloud > TIDAL > Account' not working
    <li> fixed failure to play TIDAL tracks to Pioneer N50a/N70a. Faster loading of album art on the integrated display of these devices
    <li> fixed Library Search not searching anymore current folder in Library tab
    <li> fixed theming issue when app theme is set to dark and a WebView is involved (mostly banner ads) on Android 10 devices and below
    <li> prev button in 'Now Playing', notification and widgets will now play the current track/video from the beginning if it is already playing and its elapsed time is more than 5 seconds, as this is more in line with the behavior of other media player apps. This can be changed by enabling 'More > Settings > Now Playing > Prev always play previous item'
    <li> on app startup, if the 'Now Playing' tab current track is from TIDAL/Qobuz, heart icon (favorite) is not shown until
        a track from TIDAL/Qobuz is played or the TIDAL/Qobuz folder is browsed in the Library tab. That's for avoiding obscure favoriting bugs on renderer change.
        This does not apply to OpenHome renderers with own Qobuz support such as LUMIN, upmpdcli and BubbleUPnP Server
    <li> increased text size in metadata dialogs on tablets
    <li> fixed browsing Qobuz folders with LUMIN and upmpdcli OpenHome renderers sometimes failing with error 401 message
    <li> fixed X button in notification not always visible on Android 9 and below
    <li> fixed 'More' menu not working on devices with no touch in landscape (mostly Android TV)
    <li> fixed corner case where track download could result in duplicated track number in filename
    <li> fixed a few super obscure crashes
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the app
</ul>

<h3>4.1.2</h3>

<ul>
    <li> added on Android 13+ 'More > Settings > Control > Extra buttons' for configuring which extra buttons to show in the notification: None, Exit button, Volume buttons (Default)
    <li> fixed Library Search not working anymore on Android 9 and below
    <li> fixed a few Library Search UI bugs
    <li> fixed app locked into portrait after a browse or play/enqueue operation in the Library tab showing a progress dialog
    <li> changed color of Exit button (X) of Android < 11 notification to be black or white instead of fixed blue
    <li> fixed several obscure and rare crashes
</ul>

<h3>4.1.1</h3>

<ul>
    <li> fixed Library grid covers being of low quality
    <li> fixed thumbnail file cache using much more storage than necessary and slow loading times
    <li> retrieve higher quality TIDAL thumbnails (from 160×160 to 320×320) and full cover (from 750×750 to 1280×1280). High resolution cover can be displayed in full glory by long-pressing the cover in the 'Now Playing' tab
</ul>

<h3>4.1</h3>

<p><b>User Interface</b>

<ul>
    <li> added Search Bar to More panel
    <li> Search UI tweaks: at least 2 characters must be entered in the query field, for the suggestion
        dropdown menu to show past sucessful searches matching these characters, if any. Tapping an item in the suggestion
        dropdown now automatically starts searching for that entry. Tweaked suggestion dropdown entries appearance
    <li> added 'Settings > Now Playing > Bigger cover in portrait' to use less padding and extend cover as much possible,
        up to using full screen width. This disables round corners
    <li> added 'Settings > Library > (Thumbnails section) > Round corner' for disabling round corners in both the Library and Playlist tabs
    <li> layout improvements for devices with smaller screens, especially for the 'Now Playing' tab
    <li> removed unwanted shadows for top bar and landscape navigation rail on Android 8 devices and below
    <li> fixed heavy display glitches on Android 9 devices and below

    <li> fixed navigation rail background not being the correct color when changing device orientation to landscape from a tab other than the 'Now Playing' tab
    <li> fixed a few other theming glitches
</ul>

<p><b>Other changes</b>

<ul>
    <li> fixed clearing the Playlist tab not resetting the 'Now Playing' tab properly

    <li> fixed a regression where some media sent/shared from other apps would not play
    <li> removed "Exact Matches" section in 'Local and Cloud' Library search results as it could cause some problems
    <li> changed thumbnail presentation for MinimServer when its indexArtwork property is used
</ul>

<h3>4.0</h3>

<p><b>User Interface</b>

<ul>
    <li> <b>new Material Design 3 (MD3) theming</b> with extensive settings in 'More > Settings > Look and Feel': Material You, preset color themes, generated custom color themes, monochrome, white or black themes, color schemes affecting generated theme colors and more
    <li> Now Playing and Library album screens generate their own MD3 theme based on cover. Can be disabled in More > Settings > Look and Feel > Dynamic theme based on cover
    <li> edge to edge design, rounded corners
    <li> reworked 'Now Playing' tab, 'More' panel, Settings screens, Library album folders, dialogs, typography and more
    <li> many other UI tweaks that fit with the MD3 redesign
    <li> immersive grid mode (fully edge to edge only in licensed version)

    <li> <b>fixed Android 13+ specific issue with the license app installed where media store local files fail to play</b> due to a very obscure Android permission bug (despite the permission being granted).
        When this situation is detected, display instructions for reinstalling BubbleUPnP which is the permanent fix
    <li> fixed on ChromeOS playing videos locally sometimes always being opened in Chrome instead of asking for what video player app to use
    <li> fixed regression where hitting next/prev button while track is playing to OpenHome renderer with 'Shuffle' enabled not playing shuffle track but instead next track in Playlist
    <li> fixed failure to go to previous track using BlueTooth headset button and other means involving MediaSession

    <li> updated many libraries used to build the app
</ul>


<!--
<h3>3.8.0.2</h3>

<ul>
    <li> fixed accessing OneDrive often resulting in "No account configured" error
    <li> fixed accessing Box crashing on Android 7 (Nougat) and below
    <li> fixed an obscure and rare crash
</ul>


<h3>3.8.0.1</h3>

<ul>
<li> fixed a few issues introduced in v3.8
</ul>

<h3>3.8</h3>

<p><b>Update to targetSdkVersion 33 (Android 13)</b><br><br>

    Running the app under Android 13 or higher has the following changes:

<ul>
    <li> on first app run after install, there is no unneccessary permission dialog asking to allow notifications
    <li> separate permission are asked for accessing local audio files and video/images files
    <li> when initiating a long running operation (such as downloads and subtitle extraction), ask for optional permission to show notifications for monitoring progress
    <li> use Android 13 standardized media notification style
</ul>

<p><b>Other changes</b>

<ul>
    <li> Google Drive search includes all shared drives (if any)
    <li> added Google Drive "STARRED" root folder, containing starred items
    <li> reworked dynamic permission handling when the permission is denied: explain what it is used for, whether it is optional or required, allow to either ask for it again (if not permanently denied) or change it in Android Settings (if required and permanently denied)
    <li> reworked back button/gesture handling to be compatible with "predictive back gesture", a feature that will be enabled in Android 14
    <li> fixed OneDrive playback track advance not working if BubbleUPnP was put in the background with back button or gesture
    <li> fixed VLC displaying empty folders when browsing some specific BubbleUPnP folders
    <li> fixed dark theme not applied to some internal Web Views
    <li> fixed using notification prev/next button when current track is not playing resulting in prev/next track playing instead of just displaying prev/next track
    <li> fixed a few rare app freezes and crashes
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the app
</ul>


<h3>3.7.3.1</h3>


<ul>
    <li> hotfixed failure to play Qobuz/TIDAL on some renderers
</ul>

<h3>3.7.3</h3>


<ul>
    <li> updated FFmpeg to v5.1.2
    <li> added &#x1f174; symbol in track titles of TIDAL and Qobuz songs containing explicit lyrics. It can be disabled in More > Gear icon > Library > Show explicit lyrics indicator
    <li> replaced TIDAL [Master] and [M] indicators in track and album titles by a &#x1f17c; symbol. This indicator is now disabled by default, which can be changed in 'More > Gear icon > Local and Cloud > TIDAL > Show Master indicator'. This indicator does not mean that HiRes MQA playback is supported (BubbleUPnP does not support MQA and FLAC 44.1 kHz / 16-bit is the maximum audio quality) but that the track or album is sourced from a Master recording (rather than a usual CD)
    <li> improved display of disc number in TIDAL and Qobuz track titles when 'More > Gear icon > Library > Track Number' is enabled
    <li> fixed failure to play media files browsed from the 'Local and Cloud' Libary "Folders" root folder on some Android devices (mostly Samsung) caused
        by the Android "External Storage" system app missing the "All file access" permission. Now display a dialog for easy manual fixing of this abnormal situation.
    <li> fixed playing Qobuz tracks (especially HiRes) possibly crashing the app caused by too high memory usage
    <li> fixed failure to identify some SHOUTcast streams properly, resulting in failure to play
    <li> fixed failure to play to Chromecast stereo AAC streams in HLS container
    <li> fixed failure to play on some renderers items whose stream URL is too long (LG TV)
    <li> made a few more obscure fixes and small tweaks
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the app
</ul>

<h3>3.7.2</h3>

<ul>
    <li> added support for searching TIDAL/Qobuz public playlists whose title or description contain the search term
    <li> added support for TIDAL Composer and Conductor metadata. Due to a technical limitation, these metadata are only available for tracks of a TIDAL album browsed in the Library tab
    <li> added 'More > Gear icon > Playlist > Show composer' (disabled by default) for appending Composer to the artist field of tracks in the Playlist tab.
    <li> added display of Album, Genre and Year metadata in Now Playing tab in landscape on all devices (last two were tablet only previously)
    <li> added Simplified Chinese language support. Can also be manually selected in More > Gear icon > Look and Feel > Language
    <li> added translation for some strings that were not
    <li> improved media links handling (usually shared from other apps)
    <li> renamed 'More > Gear icon > Library > Show composer in album lists' to 'Show Composer'. This setting (enabled by default) now show Composer both in album lists/grids and album folders for individual tracks whose Composer is different than album Composer
    <li> fixed taping prev/next track buttons in quick succession when a track is playing causing unwanted lag and feeling clunky as all intermediate tracks were briefly played
    <li> fixed local mp3 playback on Google Pixel 6/7 stopping or stuterring unexpectedly mid-track (workaround system mp3 http stream decoder issue)
    <li> fixed .mp2 files not handled properly resulting in not playing at all on most renderers
    <li> reverted 'Library > Item tap action' default action to 'Play tapped item'
    <li> Sleep Timer can be set to 0 minute. This only makes sense in combination with "Play until end of track" to make it possible to play current track until the end, when the timer is set less than 1 minute before the end
    <li> fixed a few obscure crashes
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the app
</ul>

<h3>3.7.1</h3>

<ul>
    <li> fixed a few issues introduced in v3.7
    <li> fixed a few more "Android Not Responding" freezes
</ul>

<h3>3.7</h3>

<ul>
    <li> <b>added proper support for ChromeOS</b>, taking into account its difference in networking (vs regular Android devices) that crippled
    a lot of the app functionality, resulting mostly in failure to play. All app functionality should now work properly
    <li> <b>added heart icon in 'Now Playing' tab for Qobuz/TIDAL tracks</b> to quickly add/remove track to the Qobuz/TIDAL favorite tracks folder in the Library tab
    <li> <b>added support for adding track played to OpenHome renderers to the 'Recently Played' folder in the Library tab</b>. This only works when BubbleUPnP is running at the same time the active OpenHome renderer
    in the app is playing tracks. This is is useful when playing tracks handled by the 'Local and Cloud' Library, as BubbleUPnP must be kept running for track advance anyways.
    This is less useful for playing tracks managed by external UPnP/DLNA media servers, as it is not necessary to keep BubbleUPnP running (saves the battery),
    as the OpenHome renderer takes care of track advance
    <li> <b>added option to put a copy in the Downloads folder of a subtitle file downloaded from opensubtitles.org</b>, to make it user accessible. These subs can be safely deleted at any later time, as the app uses its own copy in its private storage
    <li> added in the 'Playlist' tab 3-dot menu for Qobuz/TIDAL tracks, actions to add/remove from favorites
    <li> <b>fixed some long standing app freezes</b> ('Android Not Responding' dialog), many of them caused by networking connectivity changes
&lt;!&ndash;    <li> fixed devices sometimes not discovered after a network connectivity changes such as: no network => WiFi, mobile => Wifi&ndash;&gt;
    <li> fixed failure to detect some track changes for some OpenHome renderers. Did not have visible consequence, but had to be fixed for implementing "Recently Played"
    <li> fixed clearing or removing tracks in the 'Recently Played' Library folder not always working properly (removed tracks reappearing)
    <li> fixed 'Play TIDAL radio' action found in 3 dot menu of TIDAL tracks in 'Now Playing' and 'Playlist' tabs failing if not already logged into TIDAL by other means
    <li> attempt at fixing on some Android devices weird intermittent "failed to probe quality" failure when playing Qobuz/TIDAL tracks
    <li> fixed local playback of WAV tracks not in PCM format (for example 32-bit float) always converted to 16-bit PCM
    <li> fixed embedded album art sometimes not extracted for music track sent/shared from other app
    <li> fixed rare occurence where an album track would have a wrong track number, resulting in being incorrectly sorted
    <li> fixed sharing a supported playlist file (m3u, ...) to BubbleUPnP and selecting "Enqueue" always resulting in first track of the playlist being played
    <li> fixed 'More' menu items with long titles spawning on two lines, the second one being truncated. Now ellipsized on one line
    <li> fixed unusual failure to download subtitles from opensubtitles.org on some network setups involving ipv6 (hopefully for real this time)
    <li> fixed banner ads truncated when More menu is always displayed on large tablets or window, in landscape orientation
    <li> fixed help text overlay displayed on first app run sometimes resulting in unusable app until killing it and restarting it
    <li> worked-around remote browsing bug from UPnP clients using the "Portable SDK for UPnP devices" (at least some Sony TVs)
    <li> made the Local OpenHome Renderer compatible with latest iOS Lumin app (for control)
    <li> <b>changed default action for tapping an item in Library tab to "Play items from tapped position"</b>. This can be changed in More > Gear icon > Library > Item tap action
    <li> increased 'Recently Played' Library folder to 100 items (from 50)
    <li> improved dialog text displayed when playing a local video and BubbleUPnP is set as default video player app.
        Fixed its "Fix" button to properly display the Android app settings page for BubbleUPnP to remove BubbleUPnP from automatically opening videos
    <li> reworked JPlay FemtoServer wrong container type hack to fix grid view toggle not applying accross app restarts
    <li> when displaying a dialog, if a hardware keyboard is available, make the focus on the default button visible (so ENTER can be pressed to confirm and understand what it will do)
    <li> fixed a few rare and obscure crashes
    <li> updated some libraries and tools used to build the app
</ul>

<h3>3.6.10</h3>

<ul>
    <li> added 'More > Gear icon > Library > Grid view item size (dp)' setting to adjust grid tile density
    <li> added 'File Path' field to the 'Show metadata' dialog of items stored on local storage
    <li> updated device icons for Chromecast devices detected by standalone support (no Google Play Services)
    <li> using the 'Clear all' button in the 'Recent apps' Android screen does not always kill the app anymore.
        It will instead honor the 'More > Gear icon > Control > Removal from Recent Apps' setting whose default is to kill
    the app only if it is idle. This change also fixes disabling the 'Android 11+ Notification' setting killing the app unnecessarily
    <li> increased Random Tracks/Albums folder to a maximum of 1000 items (previously: 100)
    <li> increased UDP Datagram TTL to possibly fix some UPnP device discovery issues
    <li> removed 'More > Gear icon > Control > Scrobble Method' as it was referring to old apps and not working anymore on current versions of Android.
        The proper way to do scrobbling is to install a scrobbler app ('Pano Scrobbler' highly recommended), giving it permission to read media notifications
    <li> if BubbleUPnP is running under the Windows Subsystem For Android, display a dialog with information about requirements for device discovery to work
    <li> worked-around 'JPlay FemtoServer' using the album folder UPnP type for all folders, messing folder presentation and causing inability to use grid view
    <li> fixed some 3-dot popup menus always displayed at bottom right corner of the screen rather than close to the 3-dot graphics
    <li> fixed unusual failure to download subtitles from opensubtitles.org on some network setups involving ipv6
    <li> fixed some local folders being super slow to load in Library tab, on Samsung Android 12+ devices
    <li> fixed inability to download items on SMB shares and WebDAV
    <li> fixed FireTV Fling SDK logcat spam
    <li> attempt to fix an obscure playback bug on Lindemann renderers operating in gapless mode
    <li> other minor fixes and tweaks
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the app
</ul>

<h3>3.6.9.1</h3>

    <li> added ability to reverse content of the Playlist tab: 3 dot menu > Reverse order
    <li> when entering the 'Playlist tab > 3 dot menu > Add Stream URL' dialog, set the URL to any previously copied URL in the clipboard (if any)
    <li> when uninstalling app on Android 10+, it is optionally possible to keep local app data (settings, Saved Playlists)
    <li> fixed 'More > Gear icon > Now Playing > Force Cover refresh' not working when playing 'BubbleUPnP Server' cached tracks
    <li> fixed issue in Library tab, when displaying an album folder from MinimServer, where tapping the album header cover would not always display fullscreen the proper cover
    <li> fixed playing 'Audio Cast' to Hegel renderers stopping unexpectedly after a few minutes
    <li> fixed inability to unhide renderer/media server if it is the unique renderer in list (happens only if the Local Renderer / Local Media Server is disabled in settings)
    <li> fixed track not playing if tapped from Library tab with 'Item tap action' set to 'Play tapped track next' and Playlist tab is empty
    <li> fixed using keyboard predictive text (suggestions) in 'Playlist tab > 3 dot menu > Search Playlist' not trimming white space
    <li> fixed issue playing iptv streams from livego.club
    <li> fixed a few rare crashes
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the app
</ul>

<h3>3.6.8.2</h3>

<ul>
    <li> hotfix for crash on Android 6 and below devices
</ul>

<h3>3.6.8.1</h3>

<ul>
    <li> workaround for rare crash on app startup
    <li> fixed tapping "not running" widget crashing after 10 seconds
    <li> minor changes for upcoming targetSdkVersion 31 (Android 12) compatibility
</ul>

<h3>3.6.8</h3>

<ul>
    <li> added support on Android 13 for changing the app language in Android settings for BubbleUPnP
    <li> added More > Gear icon > Control > Take audio focus on playback. Enabled by default. Disable this for being able to play audio in other Android apps at the same
    time BubbleUPnP is playing audio to an external renderer
    <li> allow to connect to WebDAV servers via http over the Internet, after displaying a warning popup about security
    <li> fixed image slideshow being stopped by toggling screen off
    <li> fixed obscure crash when starting the app on some devices
    <li> a few obscure fixes and tweaks
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the app
</ul>


<h3>3.6.7</h3>

<ul>
    <li> added extraction of track technical info (samplerate, bitdepth, ...) on track playback if it is missing from browsing metadata, for displaying in the Now Playing tab. Done only if it can be performed quickly (within 1 second) to not delay playback
    <li> added "Audio Cast" toggle in the Devices tab, the alternate way to select renderers/libraries (More > Gear icon > Look and Feel > Show Devices tab)
    <li> if Android stock battery optimization is enabled for the app, shows once on app startup a dialog explaining how to (optionally) disable it. 'More > Gear icon > Disable system battery optimization' shows the same dialog. Disabling battery optimization for BubbleUPnP can be important for the app to work properly in the background and when screen is off
    <li> if download (or all) notifications are disabled in Android settings for BubbleUPnP, display a toast message when a download starts/ends as fallback
    <li> fixed possible app crash on Samsung Android 12 devices when playing to bluetooth
    <li> fixed DSD tracks not played natively as such on Samsung Android devices
    <li> fixed playing Audio Cast as LPCM (and decoding to LPCM in general) to Denon renderers possibly resulting in white noise. Now outputs WAV as default format for these renderers, when decode to PCM is performed
    <li> fixed failure to play some HLS streams with "Cannot play: HLS stream requires authentication" error wrongly displayed
    <li> fixed failure to play HLS streams shared to BubbleUPnP from the Stremio app
    <li> fixed playing some specific Qobuz tracks to Auralic Aries renderer crashing the Aries
    <li> fixed failure for OpenHome Control Points to display album art of TIDAL tracks when controlling an OpenHome renderer managed by BubbleUPnP Server
    <li> added russian translation
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the app
</ul>

<h3>3.6.6.1</h3>

<ul>
    <li> <b>added "UPnP/DLNA Libraries" section to the "Local and Cloud" Library</b>, for browsing these libraries without having to use the "Select Library" dialog, having them listed at the same level than all other top-level content.
It can be useful if playing often media from both UPnP/DLNA servers and other sources of media (for not having to constantly switch libraries using the "Select Library" dialog).
This section includes an EDIT button to hide/unhide servers.
It can be disabled in More > Gear icon > Local and CLoud > UPnP/DLNA Servers.

    <li> <b>revamped Direct Share to work properly on Android 11+</b>.
Direct Share allows for up to the last 4 external renderers that you last played to, to appear as target in the share sheet of other media apps.
This allows to play/enqueue media directly to a specific renderer from other apps, using their Share action.
Moreover, Direct Share targets can now be cleared in More > Gear icon > Control > Clear all Direct Share targets.

    <li> <b>added app shortcuts</b>: long-pressing the BubbleUPnP icon in the app launcher reveals a menu with up to the last 4 external renderers that you last played to. Taping a menu entry will launch BubbleUPnP with the corresponding renderer made active. From this menu, you can also drag entries to create shortcuts in the app launcher for launching BubbleUPnP on a specific renderer
    <li> fixed entering the Dropbox folder sometimes failing with an error popup due to an access token renewal issue
    <li> improved video thumbnail extraction to avoid videos part of the same show having the same thumbnail (may require clearing thumbnail cache in Library settings)
    <li> fixed some Qobuz/TIDAL tracks possibly stopping unexpectedly mid-track when decode to WAV or ReplayGain are enabled
    <li> fixed scrolling in lists/grids with keyboard arrow keys and mouse wheel not hiding top and bottom bars (similar to touch scrolling)
    <li> fixed renderer/library list in bottom sheets not resized properly when a device is added/removed (previously resulting in having to scroll to see the new device)
    <li> extract embedded album art of audio items in more cases
    <li> display a better error message if associating a subtitle file to a video fails because the file cannot be created due to a permission problem
    <li> other obscure fixes and tweaks
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the app
</ul>

<h3>3.6.5</h3>

<ul>
    <li>fixed failure to browse some Qobuz folders
    <li>fixed Audio Cast not working with MPD based renderers (upmpdcli)
    <li>added 'More > Gear icon > Audio Cast > Renderer settings > WAV Streaming method'. It allows to manually set different methods
    for WAV streaming, for possibly fixing failure to play Audio Cast to some renderers
    <li>a few obscure fixes and tweaks
</ul>

<h3>3.6.4</h3>

<p><b>Cast audio from compatible third party apps on Android 10+</b>

<p>
    Android 10 introduced the ability for an app to record playing audio from
    other apps that did not explicitely disable being recorded.<br> BubbleUPnP leverages that system feature
    for casting audio from compatible third party audio apps to most external renderers (some of them may not work).<br>
    Some popular compatible apps are <b>Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, YouTube Music and Poweramp</b>.
    There are many more compatible apps but Spotify is notably not compatible.

<p>
    That feature is called <b>Audio Cast</b> in BubbleUPnP. <b>Audio Cast</b> can be toggled in the renderer selection popup in the Now Playing tab.<br>
    Play audio in a compatible app, then toggle <b>Audio Cast</b> on in BubbleUPnP (reversing these steps also work).

<p>
    <b>Audio Cast</b> is a premium feature limited to 15 minutes of playback per session in the free version of BubbleUPnP.

<p><b>Fixes</b>

    <ul>

    <li> fixed Qobuz 'New releases' folder not listing all releases
    <li> fixed failure to play consecutive tracks not part of the same album on some renderers (Denon) when 'Gapless control' is enabled
    <li> fixed downloading a subtitle file (srt) for a video stored in the Download folder not storing the sub in the same folder
    <li> fixed failure to share files from the RS File Explorer app to BubbleUPnP
    <li> updated some librairies used to build the app
    </ul>

<h3>3.6.3</h3>

<ul>
    <li> The 'Qobuz Playlists' folder is now categorizing playlists identically to the Qobuz app: HiRes, New releases, Focus, ...
    <li> updated some Qobuz folder titles to match the same section titles in the Qobuz app
    <li> added Qobuz "Still trending", "Qobuzissimes" and "Ideal discography" sections, as subfolders of genre folders
    <li> added "Hide hidden files" checkbox in SMB Server dialog. Disabled by default
    <li> fixed failure to browse SMB folders on some servers (Fritz!Box)
    <li> fixed WebDAV browsing issues on some servers (D-Link)
    <li> fixed failure to play to some Chromecast Groups (notably, groups including a Chromecast Audio)
    <li> fixed failure to associate .srt file to Dropbox video with the same filename (minus extension)
    <li> fixed playing 24-bit audio to external renderers transcoding to 16-bit for some rare renderers, when conversion is not explicitely enabled in renderer's settings. This also fixes the failure to play 24-bit audio to Logitech renderers
    <li> workaround issue where if Opera is the default web browser, when playing a video locally it is not possible for BubbleUPnP to display the system
    video app chooser as Opera always handle the video no matter what. In that situation, VLC is now automatically launched if it installed. If not,
    a popup dialog is displayed explaining this situation and possible workarounds
    <li> A few other minor fixes
</ul>

<h3>3.6.2</h3>

<ul>
    <li> updated FFmpeg to v5.0
    <li> added ability to play videos to renderers (OpenHome excluded) that support only audio: the first audio track of the video will be played as PCM
    <li> hide file extension in displayed item titles when the title is a filename. This can be changed in 'More > Gear icon > Library > Remove file extension'
    <li> improved browsing of external media servers generic filesystem folders inferred to contain a music album, enriching tracks with album metadata and album art (if any)
    <li> worked-around failure to play to Chromecast some FLAC with special encoding characteristics, due to Chromecast firmware bug in FLAC decoding. In that case,
    force WAV decoding
    <li> revert to using Google Drive provided video thumbnails by default, as it is faster. However some thumbnails may be pitch black (long standing Google Drive issue).
    To work-around it, BubbleUPnP can (slowly) generate new thumbnails by enabling 'More > Gear icon > Local and Cloud > Google Drive > Generate video thumbnails'
    <li> removed year separators in grid view of albums sorted by year, in Library
    <li> fixed failure to browse some WebDAV servers (D-LINK NAS in particular)
    <li> fixed cover in 'Now Playing' tab sometimes not sized correctly after returning from 'Show album' action
    <li> fixed download notification sometimes remaining stuck, not showing download completion
    <li> fixed possible disconnection errors displayed by some Samsung TVs browsing BubbleUPnP video folders
    <li> fixed playing track to Chromecast Group not sending album art for display on devices of the group having this ability
    <li> fixed failure to load m3u playlist items with badly encoded bracket characters in URL
    <li> fixed a few obscure crashes
</ul>

<h3>3.6.1</h3>

<ul>
    <li> improved videos thumbnail extraction to make it more efficient, less taxing on media servers and fix some other issues. Added 'More > Gear icon > Library > Generate video thumbnails' setting that
    can be set to 'Always', 'Always, except on mobile connection' (the default), 'Never'.
    <li> fixed WebDAV issues, especially failure to connect on some servers
    <li> fixed failure to load SMB and WebDAV bookmarked folders
    <li> limited loading of playlist files (m3u, ...) to a maximum of 5000 items to prevent app possibly running out of memory and crashing
    <li> fixed audio-only HLS streams that were always handled as video. Such streams can now play properly as audio. This affects HLS streams sent by other apps (ie TuneIn) or added via Playist tab > Add Stream URL
    <li> fixed a few obscure and rare crashes
    <li> updated some librairies used to build the app
</ul>

<h3>3.6</h3>

<ul>
    <li> added SMB v2 and v3 support, allowing to access to media files from SMB shares managed by Windows PC, Mac and Samba servers
    <li> added WebDAV support, allowing to access to media files managed NextCloud, OwnCloud, standalone Web Server with WebDAV support
    <li> improved video thumbnails and full cover (shown in 'Now Playing' tab) extraction accross the board: cloud storage services, local filesystem and UPnP/DLNA media servers not already proving these
    <li> improved embedded music tracks album art (thumbnail + high res cover) extraction from cloud storage services, for folders inferred to contain a music album
    <li> fixed passing subtitles to VLC not working on Android 11+ when playing a video for local playback
    <li> reorganized 'Local and Cloud' settings page. DLNA Media Server settings for remote browsing are now in their own separate page
    <li> fixed failure to reliably play TIDAL tracks on PlayStation 4
    <li> fixed failure to share to BubbleUPnP from third party apps (web browsers in particular) media files stored in the Download folder
    <li> fixed on some Xiaomi devices starting local playback of music tracks from OneDrive possibly taking a lot of time
    <li> fixed failure to manually associate a SRT file (local or opensubtitles) to a video when a subtitle file was already present in the same folder than the video, with the same filename (minus extension)
    <li> fixed failure to fully load album folders from Twonky Media Server containing more than 100 tracks
    <li> fixed unnecessarily proxying some https streams for playback to upmpdcli based renderers (radio streams in particular)
    <li> fixed potential out of memory crash playing a large music track from a cloud service when proxying is used (mostly observed on lenghty Qobuz HiRes tracks)
    <li> fixed a few remaining theming inconsistencies in settings
    <li> fixed a few obscure crashes
    <li> changed log file location on Android 11+, now written in Downloads folder
    <li> updated some librairies used to build the app
</ul>

<h3>3.5.9</h3>

<ul>
    <li> fixed Google Drive login not working anymore
    <li> fixed failure to login to TIDAL via Facebook
    <li> fixed failure to play to Chromecast Audio on Android devices without Google Play Services
    <li> added ability to sort by track number generic folders containing music tracks
    <li> removed Google Photos support
    <li> fixed a few minor issues
</ul>

<h3>3.5.8</h3>

<ul>
&lt;!&ndash;    <li> fixed Dropbox streaming not working anymore. This will still not work with some renderers due to a technical issue&ndash;&gt;
    <li> fixed on Android 12, BubbleUPnP not appearing in 'Share/Send/Open With' dialogs of some third party apps as
    a target for playback
    <li> when playing a video on Android 12 for local playback, display a warning popup if VLC is not installed: due to an Android 12 change, not all installed video player apps are displayed in the system video app chooser, possibly resulting in no suitable video player available. VLC, if installed, is always available
    <li> increased Google Photos 'recent photos' folder to 500 last recent photos (previously: 300)
    <li> fixed inability to enable TIDAL/Qobuz proxying for some OpenHome renderers
    <li> a few other obscure fixes

</ul>




<h3>3.5.7</h3>

<p><b>General</b>
<ul>
    <li> <b>fixed Amazon Fire TV device discovery not working anymore since v3.5.6</b>
    <li> fixed bookmarking folders inside the 'Music > Composer' folder not working
    <li> fixed no X icon in notification on Xiaomi devices for existing app installs
    <li> improved Google Drive folder loading performance for folders with a huge number of items
</ul>

<p><b>Improved media session handling</b>

<p>Modernization for notifying metadata and exposing playback controls to remote clients (notification, lock-screen,
Android Wear, Android Auto, Bluetooth...), by using a media session. This results in:

<ul>
    <li> <b>added ability to control volume with hardware volume buttons for all renderer types, when a media is playing and BubbleUPnP is in the background (not visible),
        including when the screen is off. You can now control renderer volume without waking up your Android device !</b>
        Previously, this worked only with local playback and playback to Chromecast devices.
        Note that this does not currently work on Android 12, due to a bug in Android 12.
    <li> fixed 'Android 11+ notification' always displaying 'Phone speakers' even when playing to an external renderer
    <li> fixed media playback buttons (fired by headsets, but not only) not working with 'Android 11+ notification' enabled
    <li> fixed some manufacturer specific lock-screen player controls (Samsung in particular) not working properly with 'Android 11+ notification' enabled
    <li> removed these settings in 'Control': 'Lock-screen background album art', 'Remote Control Client', 'Media keys'

</ul>

<p><b>Minor Android 11+ fixes related to external apps</b>

<ul>
    <li> fixed scrobbling not working if Last.fm or WAIL app is set as scrobbler in 'More > Gear icon > Control > Scrobbling'
    <li> fixed 'More > Gear icon > Local Renderer > Video Player' dialog not listing all possible video apps
    <li> fixed not using the official Dropbox app (if installed) for initially allowing access to Dropbox
</ul>

<h3>3.5.6</h3>

<p><b>General</b>

<ul>
    <li> on Android 11+, the notification is grouped with other media notifications in the quick toggles area.
        The regular notification can be used instead by disabling 'More > Gear icon > Control > Android 11+ notification'
    <li> added missing X button (exit app) in notification, on Xiaomi, Redmi, HTC, and devices running MIUI. Due to limited room, it takes the place of the 'previous track' button
    <li> renamed 'Individual UPnP/DLNA renderers settings' to 'Renderer settings' in app settings, now including settings for OpenHome renderers (see below)
    <li> fixed NAIM renderer failing to play Qobuz by default
    <li> fixed bookmarked local Videos subfolders not working
    <li> fixed 'Action failed' playback error with upmpdcli OpenHome renderers happening in some cases
    <li> a few other obscure fixes
</ul>


<p><b>OpenHome Qobuz/TIDAL</b>

<p>'More > Gear icon > Renderer settings' now lists OpenHome renderers with  Qobuz/TIDAL settings:
<ul>
    <li> 'Proxy  Qobuz/TIDAL': whether proxying should be used when BubbleUPnP is entirely handling Qobuz/TIDAL. Some renderers need it enabled for playback to work at all, other do not
    <li> 'Use renderer's Qobuz support': for renderers directly supporting Qobuz via OpenHome, whether this support should be used or not. It is used by default, except for upmpdcli based renderers
</ul>

<p>Moreover:

<ul>
    <li> added ability to use own Qobuz support of OpenHome upmpdcli based renderers, by explicitely enabling 'Use renderer's Qobuz support' mentioned above
    <li> improved 'Local and Cloud > Qobuz/TIDAL' settings pages (also accessible via 'Library tab > Qobuz/TIDAL > gear icon'), showing information on how to configure audio quality when it must be configured outside of BubbleUPnP for some OpenHome renderers.
        Also includes a link to 'Renderer settings' for configuring renderer specific Qobuz/TIDAL settings
    <li> OpenHome renderer settings can also be accessed via Now Playing > cast buton > 3 dot menu on renderer > Settings
</ul>


<h3>3.5.5</h3>


<ul>
    <li> fixed failure to play Qobuz/TIDAL on some renderers. Added ability to enable/disable Qobuz/TIDAL proxying per renderer in 'More > Gear icon > Individual UPnP/DLNA Renderer settings > (pick renderer) > Use TIDAL proxy'. Some renderers requires that setting enabled, other need it disabled. It is disabled by default. Proxying does not cause a loss in audio quality
    <li> fixed playing hevc video on Xiaomi TV with Chromecast embedded being unnecessarily transcoded
    <li> fixed playing multichannel video on Chromecast with 'preserve multichannel audio' enabled resulting in no audio on Chromecast embedded and CCwGTV devices
    <li> fixed resuming not working when playback is initiated with BubbleUPnP not being in the foreground (from notification or widget for example)
    <li> fixed 'Repeat track' not working properly when playing gaplessly to an UPnP AV renderer
    <li> a few obscure fixes and performance improvements
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the apps
</ul>


<h3>3.5.4</h3>

<p><b>Android 11+ Scoped Storage improvements</b>

<ul>
    <li> the 'Internal Storage' and 'External SD card' root folders are back in the Library tab.
        However, due to restrictions enforced by Scoped Storage for local file access, only the media files recognized by the Android
        Media Store can be listed (including those in the Download folder). Media files not listed there (in particular obscure or less common
        media file formats) can still be accessed via the "Folders" folder at the root of the Library tab, manually adding the folder that contains
        them
    <li> in the "Folders" root folder of the Library tab, automatically remove inexistent entries (that is, manually added folders
        that were later deleted from the filesystem)
    <li> the first time adding a folder to the "Folders" root folder of the Library tab, show information on how to remove it
</ul>


<p><b>Other</b>

<ul>
    <li> enabling 'Look and Feel > Show Devices tab' hides the renderer selection floating button in the Now Playing tab, reducing clutter and giving more room for metadata
    <li> fixed failure to play some local DSD files to Sony renderers supporting that format
    <li> added 'Invididual UPnP/DLNA renderers settings > Proxy Qobuz tracks' setting. This setting is enabled by default for most renderers
        and should not be changed unless there is a Qobuz playback issue with a particular renderer (in particular for HiRes streams)
    <li> fixed Playlist tab track order on OpenHome TEAC renderers (hopefully for good this time)
    <li> a few minor tweaks
</ul>

<h3>3.5.3.1</h3>

<p><b>Scoped Storage is enabled on Android 11+. This is a significant change in how BubbleUPnP accesses local storage for reading and writing. If you notice any issue
    accessing local storage on Android 11+, please contact bubblesoftproducts@gmail.com with details</b>


<ul>
    <li> fixed Fire TV device discovery not working on Android 11+
    <li> changed 'Local storage' root folder title to 'Folders' in the Library tab on Android 11+ (Scoped Storage)
    <li> fixed issue with loading large local album folders on some Motorola devices
    <li> if 'Library > Track numbers' is enabled, do not show disc number as part of tracks titles in local albums folders only having a single disc
</ul>

<h3>3.5.3</h3>

<p><b>Scoped Storage support on Android 11+</b>

<p>
    On Android 11+, Scoped Storage restricts how apps can access local storage (for reading and
    writing).

<p>
    The most visible change is that the 'Internal Storage', 'External SD Card' and USB OTG root
    folders in the Library tab have been replaced by a new <b>'Local Storage'</b> folder
    that is initially empty. You must manually add (with the system folder picker) every
    root folder containing media that you want to browse.
    Each folder added can then be browsed normally (including all its subfolers) and removed from
    the list using 3 dot menu on folder > Remove.

<p>
    Non-exhaustive list of other Scoped Storage behavior changes:

<ul>
    <li> More > Gear icon > Downloads > Download folder: There is no default folder anymore and you
        must first pick a folder once before downloading
    <li> Now Playing > 3 dot menu > Booklet: you must now manually pick a folder containing your PDF
        booklets. Previously, this folder was in predefined
        subfolder of the Documents folder
    <li> More > gear icon > Internet access with BubbleUPnP Server > Cache Folder: the default folder
        is now in the private storage of the app, thus will be deleted on
        app removal. You can manually change it to another folder that survives app removal
    <li> More > Gear icon > Local and Cloud > Excluded remote folders: this setting is removed as it
        does not apply to Scoped Storage
    <li> some local non Media Store files added to 'Saved Playlists' may not be playable anymore as
        there is no permission to access them
</ul>


<p><b>Other changes</b>

<ul>
    <li> switch to targetSdkVersion 30 (Android 11)
    <li> added 'More > Gear icon > Now Playing > Show composer' to control whether composer (if present) is appended to the artist field
    <li> fixed Media Store items (local items from 'Music', 'Images', 'Video' root folders) added to
        a 'Saved Playlist' not being playable
        anymore after a full Media Store rescan (which can sometimes be necessary to fix Media Store
        issues). This fix also makes it possible to copy such 'Saved Playlist' to another device that
        has the same media files on its local storage,
        and have the playlisted items play.
    <li> fixed Qobuz and TIDAL playback possibly stopping before end of track on some renderers, especially for longer tracks
    <li> fixed Android TV (and any device with no touch) top bar icons and 3 dot menu entries not
        working anymore (regression)
    <li> fixed downloads sometimes failing due to picking the wrong download URL
    <li> fixed fullscreen image viewer sometimes showing low res images
    <li> fixed volume change not working with Pyle renderers
    <li> fixed wrong Playlist track order on Lumin and TEAC OpenHome renderers
    <li> a few other minor fixes and tweaks
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the app
</ul>

<h3>3.5.2.2</h3>
<ul>
    <li> hotfixed wrong Playlist track order on Melco OpenHome renderers
</ul>


<h3>3.5.2.1</h3>
<ul>
    <li> hotfixed failure to play Qobuz tracks to some OpenHome renderers
</ul>

<h3>3.5.2</h3>
<ul>
    <li> added Library > Random albums
    <li> added ability to share mixes from the TIDAL app to BubbleUPnP. That includes "My New
        Arrivals" mixes
    <li> added ability to export Saved Playlists to M3U8 and <a
            href="https://www.xspf.org/">XSPF</a> file formats into a selected folder. M3U8 is very
        basic in term of metadata exported while XSPF (an open playlist format compatible with many
        software) is more extensive.
        Export is performed via the 'Export to M3U8/XSPF' action, prompting for a folder to export
        to. This action is found in the relevant 3-dot menu: on a single Saved Playlist (3-dot menu
        on playlist), a selection of Saved Playlists (in 'Saved Playlist' folder, long press first
        playlist, tap other playlists then top 3-dot menu) or all Saved Playlists (top 3 dot menu of
        'Saved Playlists' folder.
    <li> improved loading of XSPF playlists (recognize more metadata)
    <li> added OAuth TIDAL support to the OpenHome Local Renderer. It means that you can add TIDAL
        tracks to it with another instance of BubbleUPnP (v3.5.2+) without requiring this instance
        to run in the background to perform track advance. Linn Kazoo can also be used as well if
        you logged first to TIDAL on the OpenHome Local Renderer, using BubbleUPnP
    <li> added support for OpenHome renderers with TIDAL OAuth support. This includes OpenHome
        renderers managed by BubbleUPnP Server 0.9-update41 (version not released yet, as of May
        31th 2021) and the BubbleUPnP v3.5.2+ Local OpenHome Renderer
    <li> sending/sharing media links from third party apps to BubbleUPnP now show the link URL as a
        tappable link in the metadata dialog, allowing to reopen it in whatever app able to handle
        it. This is also the case for such items previously added to a 'Saved Playlist'
    <li> adding tracks to the Playlist for playback to an OpenHome renderer, plays the first track
        immediately instead of waiting that all tracks have been added (which can be long)
    <li> allow 'More > Gear icon > Look and Feel > More panel always visible' on more tablets
    <li> fixed on Android 10 devices and below, an issue where tracks of local multi-disc albums in
        'Library > Music' were not listed in proper order taking into account the discnumber tag (if
        present)
    <li> fixed Android Media Store scan of downloaded music on Android 11+, where only the first
        downloaded track was scanned, resulting in most tracks not added to the Media Store (Library
        > Music)
    <li> fixed 'Now Playing > 3 dot menu > Shuffle Library > Albums' possibly being slow with the
        'Local and Cloud' Library due to including cloud services. Now restricted to locally stored
        albums
    <li> fixed editing metadata of a Playlist tab item sometimes not not saved accross app restarts
    <li> fixed rare issue where local tracks would not have the proper title and detected as
        SHOUTcast streams
    <li> fixed device orientation changes cancelling the "adding tracks to Playlist" action
        initiated from the Library tab
    <li> fixed Mini-Player in Library tab, sometimes not displayed when navigating back from an
        album folder
    <li> fixed crash in standalone Chromecast support on Android devices without Google Play
        Services
    <li> fixed playing 'Audio Cast' not always picking the correct stream format in 'Auto' mode,
        resulting in failure to play. Affected upmpdcli based renderers in particular
    <li> some fixes for devices with no touch support (ie Android TV)
    <li> a few other Super Obscure(tm) minor fixes and improvements
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the app
</ul>


<h3>3.5.1.1</h3>
<ul>
    <li> hotfixed "No playable track found" error sending Qobuz tracks to Playlist
    <li> fixed failure to load some iptv m3u playlists
</ul>

<h3>3.5.1</h3>
<ul>
    <li> fixed recent failure to browse some TIDAL categories
    <li> BubbleUPnP Server OpenHome TIDAL support stopped working due to a change in the login
        procedure. Until this can be properly fixed in BubbleUPnP Server, this update fallbacks to
        using non-OpenHome TIDAL support to still be able to play TIDAL to OpenHome renderers
        handled by BubbleUPnP Server. The caveat is that you must keep BubbleUPnP running when
        playing TIDAL tracks to such renderers
    <li> the Local OpenHome renderer does not advertise supporting TIDAL OpenHome anymore for the
        same reason than above
    <li> added ability to do streaming over https from media servers managed by 'BubbleUPnP Server'
        connected via https, in 'More > Gear icon > Internet access with BubbleUPnP Server > (Pick a
        network) > https streaming'. Previously, http was always used for streaming, for broad
        compatibility with renderers. To ensure this compatibility, 'Use https streaming' makes
        BubbleUPnP do http to https proxying to BubbleUPnP Server, thus making the stream go through
        the network connection of the Android device. This setting also applies if 'Advertise on
        LAN' is enabled, when an external UPnP/DLNA Control Point browse such advertised media
        server for playing to a renderer. This setting provides full end-to-end https communication
        with BubbleUPnP Server, which can also be practical if BubbleUPnP Server is running behind a
        reverse proxy (as there is only a single entry point: the https port of the reverse proxy)
    <li> Qobuz: indicate tracks not streamable yet because album is not yet fully released with
        "[not available]" appended to their title and filter out these unplayable tracks when
        sending to Playlist tab. Previously these tracks where wrongly labeled as [Extract]
    <li> a few other minor obscure fixes
</ul>

    <li> hotfix for broken subtitle extraction
</ul>

<h3>3.5</h3>
<ul>
    <li> minimum Android version supported is now Android 5 (Lollipop)
    <li> updated FFmpeg to v4.3.2
    <li> fixed some devices with Chromecast built-in (such as Xiaomi Mi Smart Speaker) not playing
        media at all
    <li> fixed wrong cover (back instead of front) sometimes extracted in local music tracks when
        browsing by filesystem (local and cloud)
    <li> fixed wrong mp3 bitrate metadata extracted from local music tracks when browsing by
        filesystem (local and cloud)
    <li> fixed .aif audio files (AIFF) not listed in Library tab when browsing by filesystem (local
        and cloud)
    <li> fixed Google Drive music streaming possibly unexpectedly stopping mid-track on some
        renderers
    <li> fixed sending to Playlist mixed items types (audio and video) not filtering out video items
        with an upmpdcli based renderer being the current renderer
    <li> fixed MinimServer 3-dot menu 'Rescan Library' action not working with MinimServer 2
    <li> fixed rare 'failure to download image' error when viewing image or album art in fullscreen
        image viewer, with some media servers (Synology in particular)
    <li> fixed failure to play gaplessy to USB Audio Player PRO when it is both the renderer and
        library (workaround UAPP issue)
    <li> fixed 'Audio Cast' settings entry (in More > gear icon) not always available even when
        Xposed was installed
    <li> a few other obscure fixes and tweaks
    <li> updated many libraries used to build the app
</ul>


<h3>3.4.18</h3>
<ul>
    <li> improved Chromecast transcoding support for 'Chromecast with Google TV' devices: do not
        transcode natively supported h265 videos, nor multichannel AAC audio if
        'Preserve multichannel audio' is enabled
    <li> fixed failure to login to TIDAL on LUMIN renderers. You will need to keep BubbleUPnP
        running while playing TIDAL tracks
    <li> fixed Playlist track advance failure on Devialet renderers
    <li> fixed Auralic Aries possibly becoming unresponsive when enqueuing Qobuz tracks
    <li> added 'Playlist tab > 3 dot menu > Shuffle tracks' action for OpenHome renderers. When the
        Playlist is in 'Album View' mode, the action is 'Shuffle albums'
    <li> a few other minor fixes
</ul>

<h3>3.4.17</h3>
<ul>
    <li> Chromecast transcoding: improved handling of unresponsive or long to analyze streams
    <li> fixed playing tracks from the Library tab to an OpenHome renderer not refreshing technical
        infos in the Now Playing tab until next track was played
    <li> allow OpenHome TIDAL support of Lumin renderers again
    <li> added support for opening supported playlist file formats (m3u, ...) as folders when
        browsing storage cloud providers in the Library tab. This only makes sense for playlists
        holding items that are http streams
</ul>

<h3>3.4.16</h3>
<ul>
    <li> playing a video to Chromecast will display in the Now Playing tab whether transcoding is
        perfomed, locally or remote. This indicator is displayed for audio track (in videos)
        transcoding (light on CPU), video track transcoding (heavy on CPU), or both
    <li> TIDAL OpenHome support is now only enabled for OpenHome renderers created with 'BubbleUPnP
        Server'.
        All other OpenHome renderers can still play TIDAL but it requires to keep BubbleUPnP running
        for Playlist track advance to work while playing TIDAL tracks.
        That change is caused by TIDAL login changes that made it stop working with some OpenHome
        renderer's own TIDAL support
    <li> made hiding/unhiding devices simpler in 'More > Gear icon > Hide/unhide renderers and
        libraries'
    <li> re-added in Settings scrobbling method with "WAIL Beta" app
    <li> fast scrolling the 'Albums' folder of the 'Local and Cloud' Library with 'Sort by artist'
        option enabled (top icon) now shows alphabetic indicator (artist's first letter), if there
        are more than 50 albums
    <li> fixed intermittent 'failed to upload subtitles' error sometimes displayed playing to
        Chromecast
    <li> fixed possible failure to seek in HLS streams played to Chromecast
    <li> fixed playing h265 video to Sony Bravia TV 4K with embedded Chromecast unnecessarily
        transcoding
    <li> fixed Qobuz max available samplerate/bitdepth not always appended to track titles (when the
        relevant setting is enabled in Qobuz settings)
    <li> fixed sharing to BubbleUPnP a media link from a third party app resolving to multiple items
        with an OpenHome renderer being current, resulting in items not always being added in the
        proper order in the Playlist tab
    <li> fixed charset detection not working loading local m3u playlists, possibly resulting in
        failure to play. Fixed rare title parsing issue
    <li> fixed on Android 8+ (Oreo) navigation bar not always the proper color when tabs are
        disabled in Settings
    <li> increased in Settings max possible UPnP action timeout value from 60s to 120s
    <li> updated many libraries used to build the app
    <li> a few other super obscure(tm) small tweaks and fixes
</ul>

<h3>3.4.15.1</h3>
<ul>
    <li> fixed Chromecast local transcoding failing on some Android devices, for videos whose video
        track must be transcoded (regression)
    <li> fixed possible inability to seek in locally transcoded TS and MPEG streams played to
        Chromecast
</ul>

<h3>3.4.15</h3>
<ul>
    <li> removed Google Music
    <li> several obscure fixes and minor tweaks
</ul>

<h3>3.4.14</h3>
<ul>
    <li> fixed failure to play to Chromecast a few corner case videos requiring transcoding
    <li> fixed playing OneDrive / Dropbox / TIDAL / Qobuz music tracks with a long duration possibly
        stopping prematuraly on some renderers
    <li> fixed Library search exact matches surfaced on top of results only working with the 'Local
        and Cloud' library
    <li> fixed missing items in Dropbox folders with a huge number of items
    <li> added More > gear icon > Control > Sharing Handling > Always ask. This will always ask how
        to handle the shared media, whether a media is currently playing or not
    <li> check for app updates and propose once to do the update if app is not already up-to-date.
        This happens 7 days after an update has been available. This can be disabled in About / Help
        > Show app updates
    <li> fixed playing gaplessly to the Local Renderer using JRiver Media Center for control not
        working
    <li> worked-around AdGuard causing issues with OpenHome renderers
    <li> many other obscure fixes and small tweaks
</ul>

<h3>3.4.13</h3>
<ul>
    <li> fixed crash on startup on old Sony devices running Android 5.1.1 when the license is
        installed
    <li> fixed failure to detect renderers and libraries on devices where the primary system
        language is Turkish and English is not a secondary language
    <li> TIDAL: in albums and track lists in Playlist and Library, display if they are of Master
        quality with [Master] or [M] appended to the title. This does not make BubbleUPnP support
        playing at Master quality (Hi-Res MQA) and FLAC 44.1 / 16 is still the maximum supported
        playback quality. But it helps to choose which version to play when an album is listed both
        as a regular and a master version (from which the 44.1 / 16 FLAC is generated by TIDAL) that
        may sound different. You can think of it as choosing between an original recording and a
        remaster. This can be disabled in 'More > gear icon > Local and Cloud > TIDAL > Show Master
        indicator'
    <li> TIDAL: in an artist folder, list favorited tracks for that artist in section "My Tracks"
    <li> Library search exact matches are surfaced on top of results
    <li> attempt at fixing intermittent "failed to probe Qobuz quality" error when playing Qobuz
        tracks
    <li> fixed log files not accessible on Android 11
</ul>

<h3>3.4.12.1</h3>
<ul>
    <li> hotfixes
</ul>

<h3>3.4.12</h3>
<ul>
    <li> added Spanish translation
    <li> improved media links extraction
    <li> fixed rare case where not all media files were listed browsing a local filesystem folder in
        Library
    <li> fixed Libary folders containing mixed media items and folders not showing play and enqueue
        icons in top bar (example: TIDAL > Tracks)
    <li> a few other small minor fixes and tweaks
</ul>

<h3>3.4.11</h3>
<ul>
    <li> fixed crash on app startup on Redmi devices and possibly other (non-Xiaomi) devices running
        MIUI 12
    <li> media links extraction improvements. In particular, sharing multiple items (a playlist or
        album) from another app is much faster
    <li> fixed inability to login to TIDAL and show documentation on Android 5.1 devices
    <li> updated many libraries used to build the app
    <li> other minor tweaks and fixes
</ul>

<h3>3.4.10.1</h3>
<ul>
    <li> fixed crash on app startup on Xiaomi devices running MIUI 12 (MIUI bug)
    <li> opensubtitles retrieval to get the subtitle list can be manually sped up by skipping the
        "identifying video" step. Can be useful for video stored on slower storage (cloud)
    <li> fixed failure to browse Qobuz on old Android versions with an OpenHome renderer active that
        has native Qobuz support
    <li> fixed possible 'no account configured' message when sharing tracks from the Qobuz app to
        BubbleUPnP with an OpenHome upmpdcli based renderer active
    <li> a few other minor tweaks
</ul>


<h3>3.4.10</h3>
<ul>
    <li> remember browse folder hierarchy of each Library, making it easier to switch back and forth
        between libraries. Also applies when going back to the app after using the back button. This
        is only effective for an app session (that is, until the app is exited via More > X icon or
        X icon in notification)
    <li> fixed some TuneIn stations not playing anymore
    <li> fixed Now Playing tab sometimes not updated when playing track to OpenHome renderer from
        Library tab
    <li> fixed failure to login to Qobuz on some old Android versions
    <li> fixed crash when sharing some specific albums from TIDAL app to BubbleUPnP
    <li> fixed volume muted on track change on Freebox Player renderer
    <li> fixed some SHOUTCast OGG/Opus https streams not playing on the Local Renderer
    <li> fixed Now Playing Shuffle/Repeat toggles not always using a visible color when enabled
    <li> fixed failure to play multi-channel LPCM transcodes to some renderers
    <li> fixed playing transcoded audio being cut unexpectedly mid-track on some renderers
    <li> fixed editing metadata of a 'Saved Playlist' item not reflected after exiting dialog
    <li> display a warning dialog if app is installed on a removable SD Card rather than internal
        storage
    <li> other obscure small fixes and tweaks
</ul>

<h3>3.4.9.1</h3>
<ul>
    <li> fixed intermittent failure to play Box streams
    <li> fixed playing TIDAL videos to Local OpenHome Renderer not working
    <li> fixed a few crashes. In particular, sharing some media from third party apps to BubbleUPnP
</ul>


<h3>3.4.9</h3>
<ul>
    <li> TIDAL improvements: new web based login screen using OAuth2 allows login using: TIDAL
        account, Facebook, Apple and Twitter
        Revamped browse tree to be simplier and more similar to the TIDAL app. Fixed some albums not
        listing all playable tracks.
        Added support for intro accounts without subscription that can browse but not play.
        Albums whose tracks are separated into multiple volumes are displayed as such
    <li> added ReplayGain support to TIDAL and Qobuz. ReplayGain is enabled in Now Playing tab > 3
        dot menu > ReplayGain
    <li> fixed Qobuz/TIDAL playback issues when switching to/from OpenHome renderer to/from any
        other type of renderer
    <li> Now Playing tab now applies cover derived background color fullscreen in portrait
    <li> added 'More > gear icon > Playlist > Show track position' for appending playlist track
        position and total track count to track tiles
    <li> fixed Chromecast displaying album artist instead of track artist for tracks having both
        metadata
    <li> fixed some YouTube videos not showing thumbnails in Playlist tab
    <li> workaround for 'Freebox Player' renderer resetting volume after each track
    <li> fixed playing media from Box (cloud service) failing after a while due to missing
        authentication renewal
    <li> fixed playing some Internet Radio streams to Chromecast unecessarily decoded to PCM
    <li> fixed PS4 Media Player not listing 'Saved Playlists' tracks in correct order
    <li> many other small obscure tweaks and fixes
</ul>

<h3>3.4.8</h3>
<ul>
    <li> improved compatibility with 'Bose Home Speaker' renderers
    <li> fixed tapping item in Playlist tab not updating cover in Now Playing tab (regression)
    <li> fixed playing/enqueuing lots of tracks to OpenHome renderer from Library tab making user
        interface unresponsive and possibly resulting in an
        "App not responding" dialog. Moreover, adding tracks with a play action now plays the first
        track immediately without waiting for all tracks to have been added to the Playlist tab
        (which can take a while with OpenHome renderers).
    <li> extract radio station name and genre for SHOUTcast streams added to the Playlist tab with
        'Add Stream URL' or shared/sent from other apps
    <li> fixed PS4 Media Player app not listing tracks of Media Store playlists (Music > Playlists)
        in correct order
    <li> fixed possible broken Playlist track advance on some HUAWEI devices
    <li> fixed bookmarking a 'Music > Genre' subfolder not working
    <li> added 2, 4, 8, 15 minutes durations for image slideshows. Useful for use as photo frame
    <li> fixed TIDAL posibly not working with some Auralic renderers
    <li> fixed rare occurence where the current Chromecast renderer could be lost when screen is
        turned on
    <li> removed 'Now Playing > 3-dot menu > Lyrics' as it does not work anymore with latest
        Musixmatch app. The alternative is to setup its FloatingLyrics feature which works
        independently of BubbleUPnP
</ul>


<h3>3.4.7</h3>
<ul>
    <li> updated to targetSdkVersion 29 (Android 10) with required internal changes for Android 10
    <li> use FFmpeg for metadata extraction in local and cloud filesystem based browsing of music
        albums, adding support for more audio formats
    <li> fixed Now Playing cover not always displayed correctly
    <li> fixed failure to login to TIDAL on some upmpdcli based OpenHome renderers
    <li> fixed track repeating if renderer is in a repeat track mode
    <li> fixed local multidisc albums not listed in correct track order in 'Music > Albums'.
        Metadata dialog now shows disc number if present. 'Library > track numbers' setting shows
        disc number in titles if present. Track numbers < 10 are now displayed with a single digit
    <li> fixed local AAC and ALAC files identified as MP3 instead of M4A on some Android devices
        (Media Store bug), possibly resulting in failure to play
    <li> fixed PlayStation 4 not listing AAC tracks in its Media Player app when browsing BubbleUPnP
        as a media server
    <li> fixed rare issue where local mp3 playback did not show the proper duration in the Now
        Playing tab, depending on Library (seen with FRITZ!Box)
    <li> fixed HiBy renderers not playing FLAC natively
    <li> attempt at fixing OneDrive and Dropbox playback of some music tracks possibly stopping
        unexpectedly before the end when played to some renderers
    <li> added Google Drive shortcut support for folder and file shortcuts
    <li> added MPEG-DASH audio support (seen with some BBC radio streams)
    <li> when 'Playlist > Cursor follow playback' is enabled, playing item in Playlist tab is now
        displayed centered in the tab. Fixes corner case where it was not always visible
    <li> playing to a remote BubbleUPnP renderer instance does not require it to be licensed anymore
        if the BubbleUPnP instance used to play to it is licensed
    <li> improved swipe based removal of a track in a 'Saved Playlist' to prevent accidental removal
    <li> tapping 'About/Help > Version' if licensed displays benefits of license
    <li> updated some libraries used to build the app
    <li> many other obscure fixes and minor tweaks
</ul>


<h3>3.4.6</h3>
<ul>
    <li> fixed recent failure to login to TIDAL for some users
    <li> fixed tapping 3-dot menu on items in non-scrolling lists sometimes triggering unwanted fast
        scroll instead of displaying the menu. Note that while the scrollbar
        is temporarily visible (while scrolling), it is expected that tapping along the right edge
        of the screen (including 3-dot) will fast scroll
    <li> moved 'Settings > Internet Radio > XiiaLive Control' to 'Control' settings
    <li> added 'Settings > Individual UPnP/DLNA renderer settings > (pick renderer) > Supports
        SHOUTCast' to indicate if the renderer supports playing Internet Radio using the SHOUTcast
        protocol.
        The default is renderer-dependent (some renderers report they support SHOUTcast, most do
        not).
        If this setting is enabled, the SHOUTCast stream is passed unmodified to the renderer for
        playback.
        Otherwise it is proxied as a regular mp3 or aac stream that has a better chance to play.
    <li> fixed failure to play to most external renderers Radio Paradise Ogg-FLAC SHOUTcast streams
    <li> if the Playlist tab contains videos and the 'Local Renderer' is current, display a dialog
        with information about sequential local video playback not technically possible
    <li> fixed failure to play reliably Google Music tracks on PS4 with its Media Player app
    <li> fixed uncommon failure to login to Google Music resulting in 'could not find a registered
        Google music device' error
    <li> worked-around failure to login to TIDAL on Auralic renderers
    <li> fixed Now Playing cover truncated is some very specific cases
    <li> if the license has been bought from the 'Buy License' screen, it is applied immediately
        after returning to BubbleUPnP from the Play Store
</ul>


<h3>3.4.5.1</h3>
<ul>
    <li> fixed inability to pick srt subtitle file in file picker screen (regression)
    <li> fixed inability to seek in streams sent from third party apps playing to Yamaha and
        possibly other renderers
    <li> fixed issue where lower part of the Now Playing cover could be cut in portrait after going
        into landscape
    <li> fixed issue where Now Playing cover was displayed too small in some cases
    <li> fixed a few super obscure and rare crashes
</ul>

<ul>
    <li> reduced Google Photos loading times of album list by 2-3x
    <li> fixed failure to play Google Photos videos on some renderers
    <li> fixed revoking Google Photos access in settings not working properly
    <li> fixed Google Photos authentication renewal issue causing failure to browse after many days
    <li> changed Image Viewer timings in seconds for slideshows by 'Fastest', 'Fastest+1s', etc.
        'Fastest' will be faster than previous fastest choice
    <li> added 3-dot menu action 'Choose subtitles files (SRT)' on videos items in Playlist and
        Library tab, for associating a local srt subtitle file to the video
    <li> fixed on Android 10 no thumbnails displayed for local video and image items (via 'Images'
        and 'Video' subfolders)
    <li> improved quality of local Chromecast transcoding on modern devices while reducing CPU usage
        (which can still be very high depending on video)
    <li> added 'More > gear icon > Chromecast Transcoding > Force video transcode' for local
        transcoding
    <li> fixed failure to play to Chromecast some h264 videos requiring transcoding
    <li> fixed Chromecast track advance not working on Huawei devices running Android Oreo
    <li> fixed playing Google Music tracks longer than 10 minutes stopping unexpectedly before the
        end on some renderers
    <li> fixed Google Music 'Recent Stations' folders not listing most recent stations first if
        there were more than 1000 entries
    <li> fixed tracks of local albums in 'Music > Albums' not listed in correct track number order
        on some devices
    <li> worked-around failure to login to TIDAL on Auralic Aries renderer. Requires to leave
        BubbleUPnP running during playback
    <li> fixed browsing Fritz!Box Media Server possibly not displaying all items
    <li> fixed custom language set in settings not applying to some strings
    <li> other obscure minor tweaks and fixes
</ul>

<h3>3.4.4.1</h3>
<ul>
    <li> on devices prior to Android 4.4 (KitKat), fixed inability to browse 'Local and Cloud'
        library (regression)
</ul>

<h3>3.4.4</h3>
<ul>
    <li> added ability to change the app language independently of system language in 'More > Gear
        icon > Look and Feel > Language'
    <li> fixed inability to browse USB OTG storage on Android 10 devices and Android TV devices
    <li> fixed USB OTG storage sometimes improperly labelled 'External SD Card'
    <li> fixed limitation of 5000 items browsing JPLAY FemtoServer
    <li> fixed Sleep Timer not working when: playing to an OpenHome renderer, screen is off, 'play
        until end of track' is enabled, 'battery saving mode' is enabled
    <li> fixed NAD renderers not playing FLAC and WAV without having to disable 'mime-type check'
    <li> fixed playing to Chromecast v1 a video with PCM 24-bit audio not playing properly (white
        noise)
</ul>

<h3>3.4.3</h3>
<ul>
    <li> added German translation
    <li> fixed Google Music station order, now listed from most recent to least recent. Renamed
        folder to 'Recent stations'
    <li> fixed failure to play DSD audio files from Google Drive (and possibly other obscure audio
        formats)
    <li> on Android 4.x, fixed crash when using 'View on IMDb' action on video and logging to
        Dropbox
    <li> fixed a few rare crashes
</ul>

<h3>3.4.2</h3>
<ul>
    <li> added export/import of app settings and Saved Playlists in 'More > Export / Import'.
        Data is exported/imported to/from a single archive file (zip) stored either on local storage
        or Google Drive (requires the Google Drive app to be installed
        with an account logged in). It is also posible to import from another running BubbleUPnP
        instance on the local network.
        The exported settings do not contain device specific settings nor any cloud service
        credentials.
    <li> fixed Google Drive streaming not working anymore due to recent API change
    <li> on ChromeOS, fixed failure to play streams managed by the 'Local and Cloud' Library
        (regression)
    <li> fixed only first 10 Google Drive 'Shared Drives' being listed. Now the maximum is 100
    <li> fixed intermittent Playlist track advance failure when playing to Windows Media Player
        renderer
    <li> fixed some Cambridge Audio renderers listing some obscure audio codecs they do not support
        (and thus failing to play)
    <li> fixed possible failure to play media from Google Drive after 1h of continuous playback
    <li> fixed Qobuz/TIDAL FLAC playback being played as MP3/AAC on renderers not supporting FLAC.
        Now BubbleUPnP
        sends the FLAC stream decoded as PCM (with no loss of quality) to such renderers (example:
        LG TV) unless
        FFMpeg decoding has been disabled for the renderer in its settings (in which case it will
        fallback to MP3/AAC)
    <li> Fixed Qobuz/TIDAL not playing as FLAC on Yamaha renderers
    <li> fixed upmpdcli renderer promoted to OpenHome renderer with BubbleUPnP Server not using
        BubbleUPnP Server audio quality settings
        for Qobuz/TIDAL
    <li> fixed failure to save downloaded subtitle file on external SD card on some devices
    <li> fixed downloading a track without album and album artist in metadata resulting in file
        downloaded in "-" subfolder.
        Now downloads such tracks in 'Unknown' subfolder
    <li> fixed 'Control > Lock-screen background album art' not taking effect at next item played
    <li> fixed 'Extract embedded subtitles' action not available in 3-dot menu of WEBM videos
    <li> fixed scrolling device lists in (optional) Devices tab for making all devices accessible
    <li> fixed Local Renderer and Local Media Server unique device identifiers (UDN) that could
        change after an Android system update
    <li> fixed Audio Cast xposed module not recognized if using Yahfa instead of Sandhook (EdXposed)
    <li> other minor fixes
</ul>


<h3>3.4.1</h3>
<ul>
    <li> added ability to sort local photos from newest to oldest in Library
    <li> added ability for Yatse app (Kodi remote) to make use of BubbleUPnP's transcoding features

        prevented 'Kill on inactivity' to work if at the time it kicks in BubbleUPnP was on such
        screen
    <li> On Oreo 8.0, fixed dark notification ('Settings > Look and feel > Dark notification')
        unreadable text when 'Settings > Control > Exit (X) button' is enabled
    <li> made current active device more visible in device selection bottom sheets
    <li> in Now Playing, use up to 2 lines to display combined "artist | composer"
    <li> in Now Playing, show a Snackbar message to mention that Stop can be performed by
        long-pressing the Pause button
    <li> Show optional confirmation dialog when exiting app (X icon in side drawer). Can be changed
        in Settings > Control > Confirm app exit
    <li> updated Amazon Fling SDK to latest version (1.3.5)
    <li> fixed crash in Library when switching to grid view while scrolling
    <li> fixed several other rare and obscure crashes
</ul>

    <li> fixed local renderer not playing OPUS on pre-Marshmallow devices (via FFmpeg)
    <li> fixed local renderer seeking in 24-bit WAV generated by FFmpeg possibly resulting in white
        noise
    <li> fixed 'Kill on inactivity' not working in some usage scenarios
    <li> fixed and improved layouts for super small window sizes: split screen on phones on Nougat+
    <li> fixed playing to an OpenHome renderer preventing 'Kill on inactivity' to kick in

        allowing 'Kill on inactivity' to possibly kick in
    <li> fixed some Sony BDP renderers not always playing next track in Playlist
    <li> fixed Library tab Download action not present in 3-dot menu of most folders, not present in
        3-dot menu of topbar in normal and multiple selection mode.
        To prevent accidently downloading a super huge number of items recusively, Hitting '3-dot
        menu > Download' shows a confirmation popup if the current folder has subfolders or more
        than 50 items
    <li> fixed Audio Cast Xposed module failing to load on some devices
    <li> fixed XiiaLive integration not working on Oreo

</ul>


<h3>2.9.4</h3>

<ul>
    <li> on Marshmallow+, permission WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (which implies READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
        previously mandatory and
        requested on first app run is not mandatory anymore to use the app and now requested only
        when a feature requires it:
        accessing the Android media store (read), browsing the local filesystem (read), Downloading
        on internal storage (write) and more.
        This change is effective on new installs. On app updates this permission is already granted
        but you can manually disable it if you do not need it in Android Settings > Apps >
        BubbleUPnP > Permissions > Storage
    <li> app now targets Oreo 8.1 (API 27) with some changes taking into account Oreo behavior
    <li> on Oreo, permission GET_ACCOUNTS is not requested anymore to enumerate Google Accounts for
        accessing Google Music, Google Drive and Google Photos, since it is not necessary
    <li> some data (downloaded subtitles, Google Music metadata, BubbleUPnP Server music track
        caching) is not stored in the "BubbleUPnP" root folder on internal storage anymore but
        stored in the app specific folder (this data is now deleted on app uninstall). On app
        upgrade to this version, this data is moved to the relevant new folders
    <li> changed downloads default folder: now use system default public folders for music, movies
        and images instead of "BubbleUPnP" folder at the root of internal storage.
    <li> On Marshmallow+, subtitles retrieved with OpenSubtitles are part of app backup/restore (if
        enabled system wide)
    <li> in Now Playing, notification and widgets, changed behaviour of the prev button to be more
        in line with other audio players.
        Tapping this button if a track is playing go back to the beggining of the current track if
        at least 5s has been played from the beginning (otherwise it plays previous track). If it is
        tapped again within 5s it goes to previous track and play it.
        Tapping this button if track is paused or stopped will go to previous track without playing
        it
    <li> local playback: if playback fails using Android stock audio decoders, attempt again using
        FFmpeg decoding. This fixes in particular playback of FLAC with id3v2 tags which is non
        standard and not supported by Android.
    <li> local playback: fixed some SHOUTcast streams not identified as such resulting either in
        failing to play entirely, or taking a long time to play
    <li> fixed Download notification not updating properly on Nougat+
    <li> downloading a folder that is not explicitely a music album but contains audio tracks will
        now download each track
        in its own album sub-folder (when 'Settings > Download > Preserve folder structure' is
        disabled)
    <li> fixed donwloading media link extraction support files failing on some devices
    <li> fixed (for good this time) inability to seek in some videos on Chromecast
    <li> Using a Qobuz Sublime subscription, it is possible to display samplerate/bitdepth for hires
        albums and track titles, for quick identification of hires material in lists and grids. For
        this to work, a Qobuz Sublime subscription is required, 'Settings > Local and Cloud > Qobuz
        > Audio Quality' must be above 44.1 kHz / 16 bit (it's not by default) and 'Settings > Qobuz
        > Local and Cloud > Show Hires Info' must be enabled (it is by default)
    <li> in Now Playing, added '3-dot menu > Booklet' when current item is audio. This allows to
        open a PDF album booklet stored in Documents/BubbleUPnP/booklets following certain naming
        convention (use this option for details)
    <li> Caching music tracks streaming from media servers wrapped by BubbleUPnP Server now caches
        lossless tracks such as FLAC (previously it was limited to lossy tracks). Default cache size
        is increased from 500MB to 2GB
    <li> On Nexus Player, the navigation drawer menu is always expanded to workaround specific
        platform bug, which at least allow to access settings.
        Most top level 3-dot menus are still missing due to the same platform bug. Not using a mouse
        (or emulated pointer) is still problematic and suboptimal.
    <li> removed collecting anonymous app usage analytics
    <li> removed Settings > Invite a friend
    <li> a few other obscure changes and tweaks
</ul>

<h3>2.9.3</h3>

<ul>
    <li> added a separate setting for E-AC-3 passthrough in Settings > Chromecast transcoding.
        Useful if you have an AC-3 decoder not supporting E-AC-3 decoding.
        When using BubbleUPnP Server for transcoding, v0.9-update30 is needed for that setting to be
        available
    <li> fixed seeking not available when playing some videos to Chromecast
    <li> fixed failure to play local files whose path contained unicode supplementary characters
        (Emoji, mostly)
    <li> fixed failure to play DSD on some renderers
    <li> fixed issue where playing to Neutron renderer running locally (and possibly other
        non-BubbleUPnP renderers running locally) would always pause audio after 2s
    <li> fixed a rare issue where playing to a renderer could fail or an alternate audio format
        would be played
    <li> fixed a rare issue where local audio playback could be interrupted after 20s
    <li> added the ability for an OpenHome renderer that is also a Songcast receiver to play from
        any Songcast sender detected on the network, via Now Playing > 3-dot menu > Songcast
    <li> fixed a few obscure crashes
</ul>

<h3>2.9.2</h3>

<ul>
    <li> BubbleUPnP Server 0.9-update28 released. <a
            href="https://bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver/#changelog">Changelog</a>
    <li> support for FFmpeg PCM audio decoding offloaded to BubbleUPnP Server 0.9-update28+ for
        playback to external UPnP/AV renderers.
        This is the default if such version of BubbleUPnP Server is found on the local network.
        Offloading reduces app CPU usage when FFmpeg decoding is involved, as well as possibly
        take advantage of BubbleUPnP Server's wired connection to the network.
        This can be disabled in 'Settings > UPnP Tweaks > BubbleUPnP Server FFmpeg decoding' to use
        local decoding instead.
        When a track is playing and BubbleUPnP Server is performing FFmpeg audio decoding,
        the Now Playing screen indicates it with 'FFmpeg (remote)'.
        Moreover, 'Settings > Individual UPnP/DLNA renderer > (pick renderer) > FFmpeg audio
        decoding'
        indicates if BubbleUPnP Server is used for decoding or if decoding is performed locally by
        the Android device.
    <li> fixed possible stuttering playing to Chromecast some videos requiring audio transcoding
    <li> fixed Playlist track and video advance playing to Chromecast not always working
    <li> in Now Playing tab album view mode, fixed long track titles and track artist possibly
        displayed trunctated
    <li> on Android Oreo 8.1, fixed notification not properly updated after using notification
        volume buttons
    <li> new UPnP/DLNA renderers defaults settings for FFmpeg PCM audio decoding (only on new
        installs, newly discovered renderers or preference page reset):
        max supported samplerate: 192 kHz, do not downmix multichannel to stereo nor convert 24 bit
        audio to 16 bit.
    <li> many other obscure tweaks and fixes
</ul>

<h3>2.9.1</h3>

<ul>
    <li> fixed several issues related to FFmpeg, that could result in audio not playing and/or
        various toast error messages
    <li> added better defaults for 'Max samplerate' and 'Convert-24 bit to 16-bit' settings for many
        popular renderers
    <li> 'Settings > Chromecast Transcoding > Preserve multi-channel audio' can be used again with
        new Chromecast firmware 1.30.x
    <li> 'Settings > Chromecast Transcoding > AC-3 passthrough' now also applies to E-AC-3 (Dolby
        Digital Plus) when local transcoding is used (BubbleUPnP Server will need an update)
    <li> fixed failure to perform local Chromecast transcoding of some TS streams (mostly iptv). It
        still will not work with these unusuable iptv TS streams requiring looping for playing for
        more than 30s
    <li> fixed Denon HEOS renderers listed twice
    <li> fixed bottom part of the (dark) transparent navigation drawer being opaque
    <li> BubbleUPnP Server settings are now in 'Settings > Internet access with BubbleUPnP Server',
        with some minor changes
        and updated text and screens that honor current theme
    <li> check that the installed APK matches the device's best ABI and display a warning if not the
        case, with the ability to install the better version. Can only possibly happen when
        installing BubbleUPnP by sideloading the APK
    <li> many other obscure improvements, tweaks and fixes
</ul>

<h3>2.9</h3>

<h4>Playback support for most audio formats and codecs, ReplayGain support</h4>

<p>
    BubbleUPnP now integrates FFmpeg for audio decoding, making it possible to play (almost) any
    audio format/codec to any renderer. This only applies to standalone audio tracks, not to audio
    in videos:


<ol>
    <li> local playback: support for playing audio not natively supported by Android (ALAC, WMA,
        DSD, AIFF and more). Supports gapless and 24-bit for ALAC
    <li> local playback: replace Android stock audio decoders to workaround some Android bugs
        (notably FLAC on some devices)
    <li> remote playback: support for playing audio not natively supported by renderers
    <li> remote playback: enforce renderer specific restrictions in term of max samplerate
        supported, multichannel support, 24-bit support, to make audio playable that would not play
        otherwise
    <li> support for ReplayGain for all renderer kind except OpenHome
</ol>


For local playback, FFmpeg audio decoding is configured in Settings > Local Renderer.

<p>
    For UPnP/DLNA external renderers, FFmpeg audio decoding is configured for each renderer in
    Settings > Individual UPnP/DLNA renderers settings.
    The defaults are rather conservative (48 kHz max samplerate, convert to 16 bit, downmix
    multi-channel to stereo) so if your renderer is
    more capable you will definitely want to change them.

<p>
    Each settings page has detailed help describing the settings.

<p>
    ReplayGain processing is supported for any track that has ReplayGain info (in tags) playing to a
    non-OpenHome renderer. It can be enabled in the Now Playing tab (3-dot menu)
    with ReplayGain track and album modes available.

<p>
    When FFMpeg audio decoding is active while playing a track, it is indicated on the Now Playing
    screen as:

<p>'FFmpeg: Format (WAV or LPCM) | samplerate | bitdepth (16 or 24 bit) | channel count |
    ReplayGain'

<p>
    The last ReplayGain field is only displayed if both the playing track has ReplayGain tags and
    ReplayGain processing is enabled.


<h4>Invidual settings for renderers and libraries</h4>

In previous versions, UPnP tweaks were global for all devices. Now they can be set for each device
requiring a change.
For renderers, go to Settings > Individual UPnP/DLNA renderer settings. For librairies, go to
Settings > Individual UPnP/DLNA libraries settings.
It can also be accessed from the top side menu: 3-dot menu of a device > Settings.

<h4>Chromecast transcoding</h4>

<ul>
    <li> local transcoding is now available and enabled out of the box, no need to install it
        anymore
    <li> improved local transcoding performance significantly, especially on arm64-v8a devices
    <li> added ReplayGain support and display of FFmpeg transcode info for audio on the Now Playing
        screen (for local transcoding only currently, as BubbleUPnP Server needs to be updated)
    <li> added local transcoding support for Android x86 (mostly Chromebook) and x86_64
    <li> added 'Settings > Chromecast Transcoding > Preferred transcoding method' to either prefer
        BubbleUPnP Server remote transcoding (default) or local transcoding
    <li> fixed local transcoding failing with audio tracks containing embedded album art as png
    <li> force disabled 'Settings > Chromecast > Preserve multichannel audio' for all Chromecast
        models, forcing stereo. This setting will be reenabled when the fixed firmware is deployed
        (confirmed by Google)
</ul>

<h4>Other</h4>

<ul>
    <li> various tweaks in Settings pages. Added help and reset buttons to some pages
    <li> added ability to hide specific renderers and libraries in Settings > Hide/Unhide devices
    <li> attempt at fixing controlling the Xbox One renderer for music (Groove app) possibly being
        unreliable
    <li> added media link extraction support for Android x86 (mostly Chromebook) and x86_64 on
        Lollipop+
    <li> fixed taping an image in a Library folder containing a large number of images not always
        displaying the tapped image
    <li> fixed failure to download media link extraction support files on some devices
    <li> Audio Cast settings can now be set per renderer
    <li> fixed restoring app settings backup on install not working on Lollipop
    <li> fixed browse failure of Qobuz albums not having a released date in metadata returned
    <li> detect and load properly local and cloud .m3u files improperly encoded as UTF-8 (which
        should have been .m3u8)
    <li> added support for MKA (file ext: mka, mime-type: audio/x-matroska) and raw AC3 files (file
        ext: .ac3, mime-type: audio/ac3)
    <li> fixed some SHOUTcast streams sent from other apps (XiiaLive in particular) or entered via
        'Add Stream URL' taking forever to be added to the Playlist tab
    <li> fixed playing Acestream HLS streams (via Ace Stream Engine app) broken in latest version
        (regression). Now may work with DLNA TV and other renderers supporting playing HLS.
        Acestream is always proxied by BubbleUPnP for technical reasons
    <li> added missing toggle 'Settings > Local and Cloud > Configure media allowed for remote
        browsing > Google Drive'
    <li> worked-around HUAWEI bug preventing to play to some renderers FLAC managed by Android media
        store
</ul>
-->



<!--


<h3>2.8.15</h3>

<b>Local Media Server</b>

<p>
By default the Local Media Server (eg the 'Local and Cloud' library) now advertises itself on the local network but no media can be browsed by remote UPnP/DLNA clients
and devices. This must be explicitly enabled in 'Settings > Local Media Server > Enable remote browsing'. This switch enables remote browsing at the
global level but every category can be individually allowed or not in 'Settings > Local Media Server > Configure media allowed for remote browsing'.
Moreover, on app startup, a reminder toast message that remote browsing is enabled can be displayed (Settings > Local Media Server > Display reminder on app startup)


<p><b>Audio Cast (Xposed module)</b>

<ul>
<li> fixed Audio Cast possibly not working on Android Nougat due to incorrect permission on the app's install folder.
It must be manually fixed in 'Settings > Audio Cast > Fix install folder permissions', which will ask for temporary root
<li> fixed Google Music not working with Audio Cast on Marshmallow+ and Spotify on Lollipop+
<li> generally, more apps should work with Audio Cast due to added support to 2 newer audio APIs
</ul>

<b>Other</b>

<ul>
<li> worked-around some videos with multichannel audio stuttering on Chromecast v2 and Ultra when local trancoding is used, by force disabling 'Preserve multichannel audio' for the time
being, thus forcing stereo. This issue is caused by a Chromecast firmware bug and should be fixed in a future firmware update, at which time this functionality will be restored.
Note that if you use 'BubbleUPnP Server' for transcoding, you must explicitly disable 'Settings > Chomecast> Preserve multichannel audio' to fix stuttering
<li> improved handling of videos served by the 'Ace Stream Engine' app for playback to some renderers
<li>  worked-around Huawei Nougat+ devices Android music database wrongly identifying FLAC and preventing it to play
<li>  fixed Hegel renderers not playing cloud streams
<li>  added 'Now Playing > 3 dot menu > Sources' to allow manually switching source on OpenHome renderers having more than one source (Auralic Aries). Also force proper automatic source switching when playing a track to such renderers if necessary
</ul>


<h3>2.8.14</h3>

<ul>
<li> new 1.28 firmware on Chromecast v2 and Ultra removed the ability to play natively videos that have an audio track in AAC 5.1, but added the ability to use the Opus codec
as replacement. To play such videos, you now need to enable transcoding in 'Settings > Chromecast'. if 'Settings > Chromecast > Preserve multichannel audio'
is enabled (default), multichannel audio (AAC, DTS, AC3, ...) will be converted to Opus 5.1. If using 'BubbleUPnP Server' for transcoding, you must update to BubbleUPnP Server 0.9-update27 for the new
Opus multichannel support
<li> BubbleUPnP Server 0.9-update27 released: Chromecast multichannel fixes (see above), new Windows single user installer, Intel QSV fixes
<li> on Chromecast Audio (and groups), do not transcode for samplerates > 96 kHz since newer firmwares now supports up to 192 kHz natively
<li> support sending Opus files (either local files with .opus file extension or from media server with audio/opus mime-type) to all Chromecast models for native playback
<li> fixed Chromecast Audio group volume being limited to 20 steps instead of 50
<li> fixed sometimes mismatched album art for tracks and albums where album title and/or album artist have non-latin characters
<li> fixed obscure crashes
</ul>

<h3>2.8.13</h3>

<ul>
<li> fixed on Chromecast long subtitles lines not displayed on multiple lines
<li> removed unneeded permission READ_PHONE_STATE in Manifest for pre-Marshmallow devices (This permission is only necessary on Marshmallow+ for 'mute on phone call' functionality and asked when enabling this functionality)
<li> after finished installing "media link extraction" support files, play the initially shared media without the need to go back to app and share it again
<li> in the Now Playing tab, display OGG instead of Vorbis for ogg audio streams
<li> Local And Cloud folders that are alphabetically sorted now combine alphabetic and numeric sorting. That is, items whose titles start with "1", "2" and "1999" are now sorted as "1", "2" and "1999" instead of "1", "1999", "2".
This also apply for external media server folders if "Smart Sort" is enabled, for folders that BubbleUPnP considers must be alpha sorted
<li> added workaround for loading some improperly formatted m3u playlists
<li> disabled track reordering in multiple selection mode in Playlist tab as it did not work properly
<li> fixed Trakt login using Google account not working (spawn external web browser)
<li> fixed sharing from Qobuz and TIDAL apps to BubbleUPnP not working with OpenHome renderers implementing Qobuz/TIDAL (which is the case for 'BubbleUPnP Server' OpenHome renderers)
<li> fixed audio tracks not resuming (if resuming enabled which is the case for tracks longer than 15 min by default) if playback was initiated less than 1 min after start or 3 min before the end. Now resumes if at least 30s after start and 30s before the end
<li> fixed mismatched album art for 2 different local albums both having embedded album art and the same title but a different album artist, when browsed by filesystem
<li> fixed crash on Nougat+ in image viewer when it is started with too many images (> 600) and put in the background (home button)
<li> fixed crash on Nougat+ in image viewer when sharing an image to third party app
</ul>

<h3>2.8.12</h3>

<ul>

<li> fixed Audio Cast Xposed module not working on Nougat
<li> fixed 'Settings > Control > Mute on phone call' not working on Nougat+. Enabling this setting will now ask for required permission READ_PHONE_STATE necessary to determine if phone is ringing.
Moreover, if on app startup this setting is enabled but the permission is not granted, a popup will ask for either granting the permission or disable
that feature
<li> added ability to list Qobuz and TIDAL favorites alphabetically with [A-Z] subfolder in favorite folders
<li> added ability to set the minimum media duration for enabling resuming support, in Settings > Control > Minimum duration. Default is 15 minutes
<li> fixed possible crash if selecting folder with non-standard characters for Downloads and Custom Mount Points
<li> fixed a few obscure crashes
<li> updated BubbleUPnP Server 0.9-update26, fixing an important stability issue over time and a Chromecast (as DLNA renderer) reconnect issue.
It is recommended to verify that you are running this version
</ul>

<h3>2.8.11</h3>

<ul>

<li> workaround for Google Play Services issue on some devices causing Chromecast to be disconnected unexpectedly when screen goes off
<li> on Nougat+, added support for USB OTG drives listed by their volume name at the root of the Library tab under the 'Local and Cloud' library
<li> TIDAL favorites folders (albums, tracks, playlists, artists) are now sorted from most recently favorited to least recent
<li> added support for sharing tracks, albums and public playlists from the Qobuz and TIDAL official apps to BubbleUPnP for playback. In these apps, use the 'Share' action found in the (3-dot) context menu of tracks, albums, public playlists and select BubbleUPnP as the target. Your Qobuz or TIDAL account must have been configured in BubbleUPnP first for this to work
<li> added 'Settings > Playlist > Play displays Now Playing'. When enabled, initiating playback in the Playlist tab switches to the Now Playing tab
<li> on Marhsmallow+, added ability to use the Android system folder picker to set a custom mount point in 'Settings > Local and Cloud > Local storage and mount points'.
This can be useful for picking a mount point located on SD cards and USB OTG storage
<li> added 'Settings > Local and Cloud > Local storage and mount points > Max folder item count for extracting metadata'.
This numeric value (default: 32) will cause item metadata to be extracted from file tags when a folder is entered and its item count is less than the specified value. This only applies to local filesystem browsing: Internal Storage, SD Card, USB OTG. Higher values increase loading times.
<li> added support for passing subtitles to Android VLC
<li> fixed sharing station from Tunein app to BubbleUPnP not working anymore
<li> entering an album folder in the 'Local and Cloud' Library under the 'Music' folder hierarchy assigns the correct 'Album Artist' to the tracks and to the album. Unfortunately, it is not
possible to display the correct 'Album Artist' at the album list level efficiently due to the Android mediastore not handling 'Album Artist' properly
<li> fixed 'Settings > Downloads > Preserve folder structure' not always honored when enabled and downloading items from Search results or from the Playlist tab.
It is now honored whenever possible. If it is not possible, items are downloaded in "Albums", "Videos" and "Images" subfolders (depending on type) at the root of the download folder
<li> subtitles passed to BubbleUPnP via the MX Player Intent now support http(s):// and content:// Uri
<li> fixed loading m3u playlists discarding entries whose URL did not have a file extension
<li> On Marshmallow+, adding content:// Uri to the Playlist tab (from third party apps or added with System file picker) extracts metadata from file tags for audio (album, track number, embedded album art, ...) and video (duration) if Uri points to local storage
<li> increased number of remote BubbleUPnP Server networks to 6 (Settings > Network and Settings)
<li> fixed obscure crashes
</ul>


<h3>2.8.10</h3>

<ul>
<li> ask confirmation whenever the whole Playlist content is to be replaced by new items, to prevent accidental replacement. This can be disabled
when prompted or disabled with 'Settings > Playlist > Confirm replacing content'
<li> Chromecast displayed title on TV is no more restricted to 30 characters
<li> Chromecast track (audio and video) chooser dialogs in Now Playing displays details for each track (codec, bitrate, samplerate, ...)
<li> added 'Settings > Chromecast > Use GPU transcoding' toggle for use with BubbleUPnP Server 0.9-update25 (enabled by default, allow easy temporary disable)
<li> Chromecast local transcoding: on Chromecast Ultra, do not transcode VP9, for "Profile 0" and "Profile 2" profiles
<li> Chromecast local transcoding: on non Chromecast Ultra, transcode h264 videos with unsupported profile > 4.1
<li> 'Settings > Control > Resume Playback' now offers the ability to resume without prompting
<li> better detection of HLS stream URLs addded via 'Playlist > Add Stream URL' or sent from other apps
<li> fixed failure to load m3u and m3u8 playlists with bogus track duration in metadata
<li> fixed Qobuz album art not displayed on some renderers (foobar2000)
<li> 'Settings > Local and Cloud > Qobuz > Audio Quality' mention Sublime+ subscription for 96 kHz and 192 kHz choices
<li> fixed rare crash when displaying covers with insane resolution in Now Playing
<li> when downloading music tracks, avoid the prepended track number in the filename possibly appearing twice
<li> fixed Awox renderer not playing FLAC served by the local media server
<li> attempt at fixing failure to play some content:// Uri to some renderers
<li> super obscure: do not switch to the local renderer if we get a control command from BubbleUPnP Server controlling the local renderer as an OpenHome renderer﻿
</ul>

<h3>2.8.9</h3>

<ul>
<li> fixed long standing and hard to diagnose and fix issue where playing a Google Music track could sometimes cut unexpectedly before the end on some renderers (generally within the last minute)
<li> fixed subtitles not displayed on some DLNA TVs when attached (with opensubtitles or file picker) to a video stored on removable SD card
<li> fixed Google Drive folders missing some playable media files
<li> fixed streaming to Chromecast not working for media stored on some old D-Link NAS
<li> fixed 4x4 widget displaying low resolution album art for tracks from remote media servers managed by BubbleUPnP Server
<li> fixed rare issue where streaming to external renderer media managed by the local media server would fail
<li> updated Google Drive, Google Play Services, Amazon Fling SDKs
</ul>

<h3>2.8.8</h3>

<li> fixed drawer menu missing in Library tab if no library is detected
<li> fixed playing a content:// Uri video (eg added from 'Playlist > 3 dot menu > File Picker', or sent from some third party apps), with subtitles later associated to it via
'Now Playing > speech icon', resulting in subtitles not displayed on Samsung TVs and some other DLNA TVs
<li> fixed scrobbling some tracks with dash in the title being submitted with a truncated title
<li> simplified 'Playlist tab > 3 dot menu > Add stream URL' dialog
<li> added broadcast intents com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp.VOLUME_INC and com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp.VOLUME_DEC
</ul>

<h3>2.8.7</h3>

<ul>
<li> fixed BubbleUPnP disconnecting Bluetooth on app exit or when switching from Chromecast to the local renderer (regression)
<li> fixed unplayable TIDAL tracks (due to country specific licensing) being listed, preventing proper track advance
<li> fixed BubbleUPnP not listed anymore as a player in the 'Ace Stream Engine' app
<li> fixed higher resolution album art not picked up for some media servers (MiniDLNA)
<li> fixed some streams sent from the Kodi app to BubbleUPnP not playing (for real this time)
<li> fixed deleting or moving the track following the playing track of the Local OpenHome Renderer Playlist not working properly (playing track was repeating)
<li> other obscure fixes
</ul>

<h3>2.8.6</h3>

<ul>
<li> added ability to open and delete local srt subtitle file for UPnP / DLNA / Fire TV renderers from the 'Now Playing' tab subtitles dialog
<li> fixed scrobbling music tracks not working if duration is unknown at browse time

<li> fixed switching from a Chromecast to the local renderer keeping Chromecast volume control when app is in the background
<li> fixed issue preventing 'Settings > Control > Kill on inactivity' to kick-in in certain circumstances involving a networking change (eg WiFi => mobile)
<li> fixed rare issue where BubbleUPnP would automatically switch to an unreachable LAN Chromecast while connected to a mobile network
<li> fixed Audio Cast not playing audio from some third party apps that do not play audio at all if system audio is muted (in particular: 'OK Google' voice results)
<li> better handling of DSD mime-types in combination with some media servers and renderers
<li> when a headset (or car Bluetooth) is disconnected and the local renderer is playing audio, audio is now stopped instead of paused.
This fixes previous behaviour (pausing) sometimes preventing 'Settings > Control > Kill on Inactivity' to trigger.
You can let playback continue by disabling 'Settings > Local Renderer > Unplug headset stops playback'
<li> always search the 'Local and Cloud' library when it is active even if 'Settings > UPnP Tweaks > Server-side search' is disabled
<li> other minor tweaks and obscure fixes
</ul>

<h3>2.8.4</h3>

<ul>
<li> added ability to adjust Chromecast subtitle timings: subtitle dialog > Adjust timings. They are remembered per subtitle
thus only needed to be done once
<li> added ability to search opensubtitles.org manually, entering a search term and optional season/episode for shows
</ul>

<h3>2.8.3.1</h3>


<b>External subtitles features</b>

<ul>
<li> added opensubtitles.org support for downloading subtitles for any video. Use '3-dot menu on video > opensubtitles.org' or
from the Now Playing tab using the subtitle dialogs described below.<br>
Subtitles are always downloaded to internal storage: in the same folder than the video if the video is stored on internal storage,
or in a global folder in all other cases.<br>
Video are smartly matched to opensubtitles.org to make search results as relevant as possible.
<br>
Search results are listed by the device's language first, followed by english, then other languages.
You can override this by changing the language preferences of your opensubtitles account on the web
<li> Downloaded subtitles can be deleted with '3-dot menu > Delete local subtitles'
<li> new subtitle dialog for UPnP/DLNA and FireTV renderers, accessed from the Now Playing screen (speech bubble icon) when a video is loaded.
This dialog allows to configure if subtitles must be sent to the renderer and to download subtitles
<li> slightly redesigned Now Playing subtitles dialog for Chromecast with the added ability to download subtitles
<li> metadata dialog for videos shows if a subtitle is associated to the video and where it is coming from:
either from the media server, or local (downloaded via opensubtitles.org) with the file path.
Videos in lists also show that information in condensed form
</ul>

<p>
Whether external subtitles ultimately display on a particular renderer depends on the renderer type and other factors:

<ul>
<li> Chromecast: always supported
<li> Fire TV: always supported but the Fire TV remote must be used to enable effective display
<li> local playback: supported with MX Player or any video player using the MX Player subtitles Intent API
<li> UPnP/DLNA renderers: It depends on a combination of BubbleUPnP, the renderer, and
the media server capabilities. BubbleUPnP has no way to know in advance if a renderer supports subtitles.
A very non ehaustive list of renderers known to work are most Samsung TVs and Kodi. Samsung TVs have additional requirements on the media server
(fulfilled by BubbleUPnP when it acts as the media server). Some renderers may have additional subtitle settings (toggle on/off, appearance) accessible
via their remote or UI
</ul>

<b>BubbleUPnP Server local music playback caching</b>

<ul>
<li> show Caching / Cached status of current played track in the Now Playing tab (alongside codec, bitrate and samplerate)
<li> fixed caching on internal storage not working properly anymore since previous version
<li> fixed caching album art not working on external storage (SD Card, USB OTG)
</ul>

<b>Other</b>

<ul>
<li> Chromecast local transcoding: do not transcode h265 (hevc) videos on Chromecast Ultra and Nvidia Shield as they support it natively
<li> 'Settings > Chomecast > Enforce max bitrate' does not apply to Chromecast connected via a wired connection
<li> swipe Now Playing cover up/down to increase/decrease volume is back. Can be disabled in Settings > Now Playing > Swipe cover
<li> fixed 'Settings > Control > Kill on inactivity' not working properly in most cases. By default, BubbleUPnP will exit itself cleanly
after it has been running inactive (not serving content nor controlling a renderer) in the background for 15 minutes with the Android device
running on batteries and the screen off
<li> possible fix for the PS4 cutting Google Music tracks midway on some network setups
<li> fixed 'failed to take read permission' error when sending media from some other apps
<li> fixed failure to seek in locally transcoded Google Drive video  played to Chromecast
<li> fixed 'Settings > Control > Start on Boot' possibly not working on some devices
<li> fixed Saved Playlists containing dots in the name having their title displayed truncated
<li> fixed possibly losing local OpenHome renderer playlist when BubbleUPnP has been running in the background for some time
<li> many other obscure fixes, including some crashes
</ul>

<h3>2.8.2</h3>

<b>USB OTG support (mostly Lollipop+, license required)</b>

<p>
This feature requires an Android version that supports USB OTG (this should be standard since Lollipop)

<p>
Plug USB OTG storage and it should appear at the root of the local media server (not on Nougat!), either as a folder named 'USB storage' or using its volume name

<p>
On Nougat, or if this folder does not appear on Marshmallow, provided Android detected the USB OTG drive, you can still access it via the 'System file picker' (see below)

<p>
<b>System file picker (KitKat+, license required)</b>

<p>
'Playlist tab > 3-dot menu > Add from File Picker' allows to browse and pick files exposed by the system and apps through the Android Storage Access Framework (SAF).
As most files exposed here are already accessible directly in BubbleUPnP, this will be mostly useful for accessing USB OTG when it cannot be accessed otherwise (on Marshmallow+ only).

<p>
The system file picker supports multiple files selection by long-pressing a file. Picked files are enqueued in the Playlist tab.

<p>
Any current or future third party app exposing files via the SAF will be visible here.

<p>
<b>Support for external SD card for BubbleUPnP Server's track cache folder (Lollipop+)</b>

<p>
'Settings > Network and Settings > Cache folder' now let you pick a folder on the external SD card (or even USB OTG if you want to !).
<p>
This cache is used when playing on your Android device music from your remote media server accessed through BubbleUPnP Server (over mobile data or WiFi),
to save network bandwidth and/or mitigate unreliable mobile data connections.

<p>
<b>Multi-Window (Nougat)</b>

<ul>
<li> fixed many multi-window issues including layout fixes
<li> switching to multi-window will not show a warning toast anymore
<li> known issue: some dialogs do not show buttons if vertical size is too small
</ul>

<p>
The minimum viable device screen size for split mode is probably 5.5".

<p>
<b>Other</b>

<ul>
<li> local and cloud root folders show a gear icon displaying their respective settings page
<li> updated Dropbox API to v2, as v1 will be deprecated mid-2017. Videos now have thumbnails and include resolution in metadata. Album folders containing Folder.jpg should load faster
<li> added toggles in 'Settings > Local and Cloud > Android media library'
to disable 'Music', 'Video' and 'Images' folder for local browsing
<li> media downloaded to external SD card (and tracks cached to SD card with Settings > Network and settings > Cache folder) are now added to the Android media store thus will appear immediately in Music, Videos and Images folder hierarchies
and in other apps accessing the media store
<li> fixed 3-dot menu > Reload in 'Local Media Server > Music' folder not working properly
<li>removed swipe up/down on Now Playing cover for changing volume as it was broken since long-press cover action was added
<li> HLS video (.m3u8) is identified as such instead of MP4 for codec display
<li> fixed TIDAL videos not playing to Chromecast (and possibly some rare renderers supporting HLS). Chromecast playback require either local transcoding or (unreleased) BubbleUPnP Server 0.9-update21 installed for these videos to play
<li> fixed some Samsung renderers not playing m4a
<li> fixed tablets not showing the "Now Playing > Seek to Position" dialog correctly in landscape
<li> disable Chromecast volume control using hardware volume button when the app is in the background for some LG and Samsung devices running Lollipop ROMs (to workaround a crash in System UI)
<li> other obscure fixes
</ul>

<h3>2.8.1</h3>

<ul>
<li> free Qobuz HiFi 1 month trial. Enter the Qobuz folder and follow the link. Available only for countries where Qobuz operates
<li> TIDAL and Qobuz can be browsed and played from the PS4 Media Player (FLAC playback is supported when using a HiFi subscription)
<li> improved browsing of BubbleUPnP as a media server on the PS4 using the 'Media Player' app. Use a workaround to preserve correct folder listing order (PS4 resorts everything alphabetically). Album folder titles include artist name
<li> 'View on IMDb' fallbacks to TMDB or Trakt if there is no match on IMDb
<li> 2x faster loading of Google Photos folders
<li> fixed regression where some Samsung TVs older than 2014 would not show subtitles anymore for videos managed by the local media server

<li> other obscure fixes
</ul>

<h3>2.8</h3>

<b>View on IMDb</b>

<p>
Display the IMDb page of movies and tv show episodes using action 'View on IDMB' from:


<ul>
<li>the 3-dot menu of any video
<li>the metadata dialog of any video
<li>the 3-dot menu of the Now Playing tab, if a video is displayed
</ul>

Default action is to spawn an internal Web viewer. It can be changed in 'Settings > Control > How to view IMDb' with
two other choices: 'Use IMDb app if installed' and 'Use external Web Browser'

<p>
<b>Trakt support for movies and tv show episodes</b>

<p>
It requires the licensed version of BubbleUPnP and a free Trakt account configured in Settings > Trakt. It only applies to videos
played to external renderers:

<ul>
<li>scrobble played movies and shows to make them marked as watched on Trakt
<li>restore playback position from the last position saved to Trakt
</ul>

<b>User Interface</b>

</ul>

<b>local Chromecast transcoding improvements for audio</b>

<ul>
<li> playing multichannel audio to Chromecast Audio always force stereo. For video Chromecast, the 'preserve multichannel audio' Android BubbleUPnP setting apply.
   playing > 96KHz to Chromecast Audio forces 96 kHz, its maximum supported samplerate. For video Chromecasts, the max samplerate is 192 kHz although the device will resample internally to 48 kHz (unlike Chromecast Audio). In previous versions, transcodes where always at 44.1 kHz
<li> transcodes preserve bitdepth of the original audio: 24 bit audio remain at 24 bit. The Chromecast Audio handle 24 bit natively while video Chromecast converts to 16 bit internally. In previous versions, all transcodes were at 16 bit.
<li> support for reliably transcoding ALAC
<li> support for transcoding MusePack, DFF/DSF (DSD audio)
<li> support for transcoding WAV and FLAC containing audio other than PCM (eg DTS)
</ul>

<b>Other changes</b>

<ul>
<li> added 'Settings > Now Playing > Seek on tap', invert tap and long-press actions on next/prev buttons
<li> workaround to list tracks in correct order on the PS4 when browsing the local media server from the PS4
<li> added support for DSF/DFF (DSD) mime-types so they are playable
<li> fixed track advance not working on some Pioneer renderers by default
<li> fixed gapless playback possibly not working with some renderers that support it
<li> fixed possible failure to play some media on some super picky renderers
<li> show help popup if licence check fails on Samsung devices with the Smart Manager app possibly getting in the way
<li> other obscure fixes
</ul>

<h3>2.3.4</h3>

<p><b>OpenHome renderer improvements</b>

<p>
This version brings significant improvements for streaming Google Music and TIDAL tracks to OpenHome renderers managed
by <a href="http://bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver/#changelog">BubbleUPnP Server 0.9-update7</a> as well as the local OpenHome Renderer (Settings > Local Renderer, to enable)

<p>
Among other things, OpenHome renderers allow playlist track advance to work without requiring Android BubbleUPnP to be left running.
Except that it didn't work with cloud streams due to authentication required before playing each track.
This is no longer the case (<b>for Google Music and TIDAL only</b>) and the OpenHome renderers are now autonomous for playing these streams (the only requirement is BubbleUPnP Server running)

<p>
Moreover, it is now possible to use <a href="http://www.linn.co.uk/software#kazoo">Linn Kazoo</a> (PC, Mac, iPad) as a controller to browse and send TIDAL tracks to these OpenHome renderers.

<p>
It is also possible to set the OpenHome local renderer room name in Settings  > Local Renderer > Room. The room name
is not used by BubbleUPnP but is used by several OpenHome controllers (such as Linn Kazoo) to identify renderers

<p><b>Changes</b>

<ul>
<li> added support for recent versions of Showbox via GrowBox/BouncyBox. <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/showbox/comments/2xklwy/bubbleupnp_update_supports_growboxbouncybox_play">Details</a>
<li> sending a video from an external app to BubbleUPnP with the local renderer active now shows the video app selector dialog for forwarding the video
This can be useful to extract/proxy a video stream to an app that wouldn't support it otherwise (example: play Showbox to VLC)
<li> Google Music root folder shows account selector icon if more than one account
<li> improvements for playing videos to a remote BubbleUPnP acting as the renderer. On the remote device: force screen on before starting playback, don't start playback if device is on the lock-screen, fixed failure to stop if video is paused
</ul>

<p><b>Fixes</b>

<ul>
<li> fixed <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.geecko.QuickLyric">QuickLyric</a> app (and possibly other apps) not finding lyrics with "Show track number" option enabled
<li> fixed Chromecast local transcoding sometimes producing no audio for some aac tracks (mostly concerns acestream streams)
<li> fixed possible freezes controlling local OpenHome renderer simultaneously from several OpenHome controllers
<li> workarounded some car Bluetooth spamming PLAY events
<li> other super obscure fixes
</ul>


<h3>2.3.3</h3>

<ul>
<li> new app icon
<li> Audio Cast works on Lollipop
<li> fixed failure to login to Google Music

<li> playing TIDAL lossless streams to Chromecast is possible if local transcoding is installed or BubbleUPnP Server present on the network (transcodes FLAC to WAV)
<li> album context menu inside album folders has more actions
<li> fixed playing some video links sent to Chromecast from other apps possibly taking a long time
<li> fixed local renderer failing to play some m4a audio files containing aac

</ul>

<h3>2.3.1</h3>

<ul>
<li> fixed inability to sort albums in artist and genre folders
<li> fixed rare failure to start the local media server on app startup
<li> fixed media link extraction not working anymore after upgrading device to Lollipop via OTA
<li> fixed cancelling video downloads transcoded by BubbleUPnP Server leaving running ffmpeg instance on the server
<li> fixed Now Playing not always displaying effective codec/bitrate for TIDAL streams
<li> fixed a few other obscure issues
</ul>


<h3>2.3</h3>

<p>
<b>TIDAL support</b>

<p>
<a href="http://tidalhifi.com">TIDAL</a> is a new lossless music streaming service offering FLAC and 320K AAC streams.

<p>
With a TIDAL paid subscription, you can now browse and search all the TIDAL catalog, access your favorites, and stream TIDAL music
to your renderers.

<p>
TIDAL is accessed via the cloud section of the local media server.
By default, the TIDAL folder will only be listed if you have the TIDAL app installed.
This can be changed in Settings > Local Media Server > TIDAL > Enable.

<p>
<b>Media links extraction</b>

<p>
The installation of required files to perform media links extraction sent from other apps and web browsers
is improved:

<ul>
<li> better feedback on install steps
<li> better error reporting
<li> if install fails, BubbleUPnP will fallback to using cloud extraction
</ul>

<p>
IMPORTANT: if you got a "no http stream found" error message in previous BubbleUPnP versions,
please reinstall BubbleUPnP and share a media link to BubbleUPnP to force reinstallation of media links extraction.


<p>
<b>Other changes</b>

<ul>
<li> added ability to sort folders containing music albums: sort by title, artist, year ascending or descending (only if year is sent by the media server)
<li> local media server search results are categorized in "Local", "Google Music" and "TIDAL" sections (the last two ones only if setup)
<li> external subtitles are now enabled by default when playing a video to Chromecast
<li> made Search icon always visible at the root of the Library tab
<li> added thumbnails to local videos part of the Android media library and accessed browsing the Filesystem folder
<li> recognize Opus local files (.opus) and Opus streams with mime-type audio/opus. Opus only plays on rare renderers supporting it, including Chromecast with transcoding. Local playback is not supported
<li> all actions in albums folders are recursive (only known to affect MinimServer using folders inside albums)
<li> fixed Android system playlists (Music > Playlists) tracks not always displayed in the correct play order
<li> fixed Xbox 360 System Media Player browsing BubbleUPnP not listing Google Music playlists (free) and albums (licensed)
<li> fixed possibly wrong thumbnails shown for cloud folders after app update
<li> fixed streams sent from "Sop to http" app not working
<li> fixed missing line breaks in the metadata dialog for the description field
<li> fixed super obscure crashes
</ul>

<h3>2.2.3.1</h3>

Fixed crash after downloading media link extraction files on Android devices prior KitKat

<h3>2.2.3</h3>

<b>External media links extraction changes</b>

<p>
Extraction of media links sent from other apps and web browsers is now performed on-device rather than in the cloud.

<p>
For this, a 10 MB download and install is required which is prompted the first time a link is sent to BubbleUPnP.

<p>
It is only compatible with ARM CPUs. For Other CPUs (x86) extraction is still performed in the cloud, except for Youtube redirected to semperVidLinks.

<p>
This change fixes Youtube links being redirected to semperVidLinks in previous versions, and works with vevo links.

<p>
<b>Other changes</b>

<ul>
<li> fixed local Chromecast transcodes not seekable (regression)
<li> fixed searching the local media server broken (regression)
<li> fixed description field never shown in metadata dialog (regression)
<li> fixed Chromecast 20 min transcoding limitation wrongly applied on licensed BubbleUPnP, if a media is played a few seconds after app startup
<li> fixed rare occurrence of wrong thumbnail displayed for some items
<li> fixed rare failure to play some external http links formatted a certain way
<li> attempt fix for thumbnails sometimes not showing up with media servers slow to respond
<li> workarounded failure to browse JRMC prior to v20.0.51
<li> fixed rare crashes
</ul>



<h3>2.2.2</h3>

<ul>
<li> improved speed of analyzing videos to determine how local Chromecast transcoding must performed (mostly noticeable for cloud videos hosted on slow servers)
<li> on Lollipop, added Settings > Control > Lock-screen background album art. Disable this option if album art remains stuck on the lock-screen after exiting the app (this is actually a Lollipop bug)
<li> updated image loading library (might fix obscure bugs)
<li> fixed playing to Chromecast not working at all if local transcoding is installed and devices not on a 192.168.x.x network
<li> fixed wrong menu drawer icon used on some Lollipop devices
<li> fixed local renderer failure to play mono 24 bit FLAC on pre-KitKat
<li> fixed description field displayed only for videos in metadata dialog
</ul>


<h3>2.2.1</h3>

Chromecast: fixed subtitles sometimes not showing up in Subtitles dialog

<h3>2.2</h3>

<p>
<font color="#ffbb33">Chromecast local transcoding</font>

<p>
Most transcoding features provided by BubbleUPnP Server for playing unsupported media are now supported locally.
This feature is optional and must be installed via <b>Settings > Chromecast > Install local transcoding</b>.
It requires Android 4.1+ and a supported CPU (ARM v7a or higher, x86).

<p>
Local transcoding is useful if you can't or don't want to install BubbleUPnP Server on your network (which remains the most efficient and complete transcoding solution).
It works with all media sources (local, cloud, sent from other apps).

<p>
Most common use cases:

<ul>
<li>transcode DTS and AC3 audio in MKV
<li>transcode FLAC, WMA and other unsupported audio formats in music files
<li>multiple audio/video track selection in videos
</ul>

<p>
On most Android hardware, local transcoding will be too slow for transcoding video tracks in videos (WMV, MOV, FLV, ...) but fast enough
to transcode audio, including audio in videos.

<p>
BubbleUPnP will display a warning if doing a slow transcode that is likely to result in playback stutter.

<p>
Transcoding very high bitrate videos may stutter as well due to more limited WiFi bandwidth in the local transcoding scenario.

<p><font color="#ffbb33">Guest Chromecast support</font>

<p>
Guest Chromecast devices are now detected and can be used with these limitations:

<ul>
<li> only cloud (Internet accessible) media can be casted
<li> album art is not supported and will not be displayed on the Chromecast
<li> transcoding is only possible with an Internet accessible BubbleUPnP Server connected in Settings > Network and settings
</ul>


<p><font color="#ffbb33">Other</font>

<ul>
<li> Chromecast: do not auto-detect mp4 orientation as it may be slow on some devices
<li> don't start local semperVidLinks on failed items when loading a playlist (eg youtube)

<li> On KitKat+, local playback of high resolution FLAC/WAV is passed unmodified to Android. Previously it was downsampled and handled by the BubbleUPnP
own FLAC/WAV decoders. On Lollipop, this allows a connected USB DAC to play high resolution files at their original samplerate/bitdepth if supported by the DAC
<li> On non-Samsung devices running KitKat+, use the Android standard FLAC decoder to play non-Subset compliant FLAC files (previously such rare
FLACs would force the app's own FLAC decoder)
<li> added Download action in the Library action bar menu for downloading the displayed folder
<li> added missing WAV mime-type to Jongo S3 renderer
<li> fixed files sent from file managers possibly not playing anymore (regression from 2.1)
<li> fixed obscure proxying issue with some http servers resulting in media not playing
<li> fixed some shoutcast URLs sent from XiiaLive failing with "Cannot play: no URL or invalid URL"
<li> fixed "error 501" playing to Kodi

<li> Chromecast: added Settings > Chromecast > Force video transcoding. Useful for some videos that should play natively but do not due to Chromecast decoding issues. Requires BubbleUPnP Server 0.9
<li> added Settings > Look and feel > Color art mode. Allow to choose if album art derived colors should be disabled, used on the
Now Playing screen, the Library screen, or both (default)

providing Google Music access to those devices.

<p>
Multiple Google accounts are supported with the "Account" action available in the menu of the Google Music
library folder, or in Settings > Local Media Server > Content

<b>OpenHome Control Point (beta)</b>

<p>
<b>BubbleUPnP</b> can control OpenHome renderers created with <a href="http://bubbleguuum.free.fr/upnpserver">BubbleUPnP Server</a> from any UPnP AV Renderer.<br>
An OpenHome Renderer has the following advantages over a regular UPnP AV renderer:

<ul>
<li> each renderer has its own playlist
<li> no need to leave BubbleUPnP running for playlist track advance to happen
<li> several OpenHome Control Points (BubbleUPnP, Linn Kinsky) can be connected to the same renderer simultaneously, showing the same playlist and playback state
<li> create a playing playlist on a device and pick it up later on another device
</ul>

<p>
For example, consider this scenario:

<ul>
<li> with BubbleUPnP Server you create an OpenHome renderer from WMP
<li> in BubbleUPnP on your phone you select this renderer and make a playing playlist and start playback
<li> you exit BubbleUPnP. Playlist track advance is still performed by BubbleUPnP Server
<li> sometimes later you launch BubbleUPnP on your tablet (or phone) and select the WMP OpenHome renderer. The initial playlist is displayed
</ul>

<p>
<b>Other changes</b>
<ul>
<li> local media server can now list two custom mount points (see Settings > Local Media Server > Content for setup). Useful to access additional external storage (ex: second SD card on Sony Tablet S, mounted on /sdcard2)
