Ratings and reviews

After many years of using this app to play music, mostly on a bt speaker, I finally give up. The energy consumption seems out of the world. Both my phones (S25U, X15U) are heating up like there is no tomorrow. This only happens when using bubbleupnp for playback. I loved this app for its usability, but this problem is so severe and just won't be fixed. I'm gonna try it again in a year or so.

I so really wanted to love this app and even pay for the full license but it doesn't seem to be able to seek in transcoded streams playing on a Chromecast device which is a total showstopper. Trying to seek restarts the stream from the beginning. Transcoding at least audio streams seems pretty inevitable with all of the multichannel content out there and Chromecasts not being able to decode it natively so effectively seeking is impossible and you end up having to watch from the beginning.

After recent updateI use bubbleupnp (on my phone) with a chromecast by either casting or through local connection error code 500), I can see my local serv and files but if I try to play a video, I have either " files can't be read" or errors showing my ip/local ip saying it can't access it. I also tried on data connection, won't work even with local player on my phone. Any idea? I don't really know where to look,
