slight necrcobump to this thread.
I have been a bubble user for a very long time running bub server on a homebrew xpenology nas with minim running on same and using droids to control. could not be happier, greatest setup i have ever had.
my primary avr for ht and severe blasting of metal music is Denon X4100W which SUPPORTS GAPLESS playback perfectly using bubble. when looking at that device on bubserver render tab there is a CHECKBOX for gapless. SOME support this, some do NOT, i can tell u for fact X4100W is gapless.
I just bought a google chromecast audio to use on my patio receiver which is a trusty and ancient Denon AVR-3805 and for what i was seeking it does the job but it does not *yet* support gapless playback.
sooo.. any attempts to make it gapless are not going to work until the device officially supports it.
as for getting a playlist going and then shutting down the app, this will work when u create an OPENHOME renderer... I have a dedicated tablet in garage that is hooked to a big monitor via mini hdmi to VGA which displays all info. i leave that thing running but at any time i can grab my HTC phone or any other tablet and choose the google cca as device and it will instantly sync playlist and i can control.
anyways, just wanted to add this about google crhomecast audio and the gapless. for $35 bucks it is a no brainer to take ANY non wifi device and put it on ur network.. im using mini toslink to toslink with mine and getting full DIGI PCM to my Denon.
