I have declared aac in the playlist, and then omitting transcode, or (with ffmpeg) supplying aac:wav or aac:mp3. None work on that device.

There seems to be a problem with the BubbleUPnP local renderer playing an AAC network stream (or a large AAC file).

As a workaround, you can transcode the stream to wav, wav24 or L16 in one of the following ways:

1) Add the aac stream type in the playlist and add aac:wav, aac:wav24 or aac:L16 to the stream.transcode property

2) Don't add a stream type in the playlist and add *:wav, *:wav24 or *:L16 to the stream.transcode property

Both of these require ffmpeg or avconv to be available. I have tried them with BubbleUPnP on my Nexus 7 and they are working correctly.

I will report the AAC problem to the author of BubbleUPnP.
