4.3.3
Audio Cast
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
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
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)
added some missing translation in preferences
Other
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
made 'Now Playing > 3 dot menu > Seek to position' allowing to set a position past 10h (useful for long audio books)
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
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
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
for settings involving picking a folder, always use the system folder picker. Fixed label text in some dialogs that were too long
fixed Local Renderer not doing FFmpeg decoding for HLS audio streams when FFmpeg decoding is enabled for all audio formats in settings
fixed regression where restoring automatic backup (if enabled) on app reinstall would fail
fixed System UI crash on some Nokia (HMD) devices running Android 12 (was caused by notification)
fixed volume control not working on 'Mi AI SoundBox' renderer
improved Qobuz/TIDAL error messages on playback failure
a few other obscure and minor fixes and tweaks

4.3.4
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
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
added 'More > Settings > Library > Item tap action > Play all items, playback starts at tapped item'
fixed regression causing failure to play LPCM streams
added EXIF comment to metadata of images and videos managed by the Android Media Store (visible via '3 dot menu on item > Show metadata', as 'Desc.' field)
fixed recently used renderers not being surfaced as share targets in share sheets of third party apps that make use of the standard Android share sheet dialog
fixed on Android 12+, USB OTG storage volumes not listed in the Library tab
fixed missing or barely visible renderer icons when long-pressing the BubbleUPnP icon in the app drawer (to open the app with a specific renderer) and in share sheets of third party apps
fixed track played by the Local Renderer sometimes assigned a wrong duration
fixed icon of Google Cast devices managed by BubbleUPnP Server or from standalone cast support not tinted with proper color
fixed prev/next track action performed repeatedly at 1-3s interval sometimes resulting in the wrong track displayed in the 'Now Playing' tab
fixed rare failure to play local media from SD Card, 'Internal Storage' or 'Folders' subfolders
fixed in Library tab, in 'Folders' root folder, failure to pick with the system folder picker the root of an USB OTG drive
fixed 'Random Tracks/Albums' not working on Android 13+ on locally stored media
fixed tracks scrobbled by external scrobbler apps including the track number in the title if 'More > Settings > Library > Track number' is enabled
fixed in Playlist tab, '3 dot menu on item > Edit metadata' showing unneeded Album and Artist fields when the item is not audio
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
improved compatibility of 'Audio Cast' for playing to 'USB Audio Player Pro' renderer (automatically use FLAC + more buffering)
updated some libraries used to build the app

Do these updates happen automatically Just check the About in Bubble for the version. You will normally get a notification when opening Bubble that it's been updated, but that depends on whether you leave the device running long enough to perform its Play Store upodates. |

4.3.4.1
fixed no UPnP/DLNA devices discovered on Chrome OS (regression)

fixed rare failure to handle http redirects causing failure to play some items

4.3.6
fixed failure to detect Fire TV, mostly when it is embedded in a TV. When first entering the renderer selection dialog, ask if Fire TV devices should be discovered
added an E-ink mode optimizing the theme and disabling most animations for E-ink devices with a black and white or color screen. This can be enabled in More > Settings > Look and Feel > E-ink mode. On first app startup, if an E-ink device is detected (BOOX only at the moment), a dialog will ask if E-ink mode should be enabled
added Google Drive policy dialog displayed before selecting an account
the Monochrome theme does not require the license anymore
fixed first track played sometimes repeating later in Shuffle Playlist mode
fixed some UI buttons not properly rendered and notification not showing playback buttons on BOOX E-ink devices running Android 11
fixed 24-bit tracks always converted to L16 if the 'Audio Format' setting was manually set to LPCM for a renderer (regression)
fixed possible failure to play LPCM to HQPlayerEmbedded renderer
fixed cancelling Google Drive login flow showing account chooser again
fixed a few obscure crashes
updated some libraries used to build the app

I just threw everything at this latest version to see.
My huge playlists, jumped around, added more huge playlists, enqueued more, pressed play on them etc etc.
So far (touch wood) it hasn't locked up like of old.
Can it be they have finally fixed the flashing 0.00 play / pause of doom?
I hope so.

Could be good news for me
BTW
I put the tablet on charge while I breakfasted and walked the dogs
When I came back I had the update message from Bubble
This has happened before, possibly every update
Is that normal ?

This has happened before, possibly every update Is that normal ? Yes, the Google Play Store is probably set to auto-update (that's the default) and Bubble is set to display update info (also the default). |

That might be something in the settings for your tablet. When I charge mine after a session I set the Play Store to update everything anyway.

That or it just tells you about the update next time you open the app.

Checking Settings out Nothing obvious there I might let you have a look ! In Google Playstore on each app's page the menu 3 dots (top right), lets you enable auto-update. I think that's the default. Can't see why you would wish otherwise? Disabled and you may forget, there might be a Google OS update, that affects apps, you would be on the old app. Might stop working or behave strangely. You want app bug fixes too. These Android apps aren't as convoluted as say Volumio, where there were many things you'd set up specially that might get broken by an update. |

I think Mike may be looking in the Bubble settings.
Bubble only shows you the update notice once after it's been updated, Mike. It doesn't show you them every time. You can turn that off but why would you?
