Bubble UPNP server on RPI B+
Installation of Bubble UPNP on RPI, allows RPI to transcode videos to Chromecast. Casting the mobile screen to Chromecast looks good, but the power of the mobile drains out quickly. To avoid this, the media file has to be fed to Chromecast it its own way(transcoding from another HW), and the transcoding process has to controlled via mobile - just like a remote.
Required Hardware components
- Raspberry pi(I'm using B+ model)
- Chromecast
- Raspbian OS
- Minidlna
- AAC library
- ffmpeg
- Bubbleupnp server
- Android app to control bubble UPNP server
Currently I'm using an older version
lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 7.11 (wheezy)
Release: 7.11
Codename: wheezy
Pre-requistes
Execute the below commands which will install the required packages
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get -y install autoconf automake build-essential libass-dev libgpac-dev libtool pkg-config texi2html zlib1g-dev libmp3lame-dev libx264-dev
Minidlna
It is a server that handles the media files. Clear installation steps are provided in this link. In case of any permission issues check this link.
AAC library
This library is used for Audio transcoding to Chromecast. The final library will be linked with 'ffmpeg' tool. Execute the below commands to download and install the library.
mkdir ~/ffmpeg_sources
cd ~/ffmpeg_sources
wget -O fdk-aac.zip https://github.com/mstorsjo/fdk-aac/zipball/master
unzip fdk-aac.zip
cd mstorsjo-fdk-aac*
autoreconf -fiv
./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --disable-shared
sudo make
sudo make install
ffmpeg
It is a tool that is used to convert a media file as per the target requirements. In our case, it is required to do the main transcoding work. Even though, ffmpeg can be installed using 'apt', I prefer to download the source code and compile it, as I can configure it with extra features.
cd ~/ffmpeg_sources
wget http://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-snapshot.tar.bz2
tar xjvf ffmpeg-snapshot.tar.bz2
cd ffmpeg
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig"
./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --extra-cflags="-I$HOME/ffmpeg_build/include" --extra-ldflags="-L$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib" --bindir="$HOME/bin" --extra-libs="-ldl" --enable-gpl --enable-libass --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libmp3lame --disable-ffplay --enable-libx264 --enable-nonfree
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo cp ~/bin/* /usr/bin/
Bubbleupnp server
The main server that handles the request from mobile to do the actual transcoding via ffmpeg.
mkdir ~/bubbleupnp_server
cd bubbleupnp_server/
wget http://www.bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver/BubbleUPnPServer-distrib.zip
unzip BubbleUPnPServer*.zip
cd bubbleupnp_server/
chmod +x launch.sh

Thanks to codeformatter.blogspot.com that enabled to put the code in this blog easily.
Thanks for the guide.
ReplyDeleteI managed to compile ffmpeg and ffprobe then copied them to the bubbleupnp server folder located in /home/ and restarted the server, but in the server settings it still says that GPU transcoding not possible because FFmpeg is not compiled.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
