BubbleUPnP for DLNA/Chromecast 2.9.4 (x86) (Android 4.0+)

BubbleUPnP 2.9.4 - 2018/04/22
- 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
- app now targets Oreo 8.1 (API 27) with some changes taking into account Oreo behavior
- 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
- 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
- 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.
- On Marshmallow+, subtitles retrieved with OpenSubtitles are part of app backup/restore (if enabled system wide)
- 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
- 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.
- local playback: fixed some SHOUTcast streams not identified as such resulting either in failing to play entirely, or taking a long time to play
- fixed Download notification not updating properly on Nougat+
- 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)
- fixed donwloading media link extraction support files failing on some devices
- fixed (for good this time) inability to seek in some videos on Chromecast
- 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)
- 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)
- 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
- 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.
