I have Mac with Audirvana 3.5.33 and a free 3-month-Qobuz HiFi-trial. All is working so far perfectly. But I came across a strange thing: On the Audirvana Qobuz integration there seem some albums appear twice. There seems to be no discernable difference between both. Both are Redbook quality, it is not that one is HighRes and the other not. The release date off both seems to be the same and both seem to be released by the same company. So what is happening here? Thanks Matt Hi, This arrive with some suppliers. Sometime we get, for the same release, different versions with different EAN : - One for the download - One for the streaming - One with the booklet - One for the Hi-Res And all of them can be combine for another version. We are working on it to display only one release with different versions. Regards Polyglot and matthias 1 1 Qobuz Product Manager for Desktop, Web Player and Search Engine. Link to comment

I will try as soon as possible. Actually I work in remote until the end of the month and I have no DAC at home that display BitRate and Frequency to check your issue. asdf1000 1 Qobuz Product Manager for Desktop, Web Player and Search Engine.

matthias Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 @David Craff Here is a quote from @damien78 from Audirvana: "Audirvana uses the Qobuz API to access Qobuz services, that is the recommended way to ensure always up to date data, and thus immediate access to latest albums as soon as they are available on Qobuz." My question: Does this mean that I get the same info about an album via Audirvana as via Qobuz Desktop app? Thank you Matt "I want to know why the musicians are on stage, not where".

So how does the screenshot of my playlist conveys to the tech people that although the playlist is shown as completely downloaded there are many songs which are not and I have to download them by hand. And that the function download the rest of the playlist does not work at all? Or does sometimes the file is shown as downloaded in the playlist but it says it can not play thi s format (which CD quality) and I should try again with a different format and then I have do delete the local download and re-download. Or the strange pauses which sometimes occur in every song? This all is transmitted with the screenshot? Great. I send onen. I'm sorry, I don't think I was explanatory enough in my answer. The beta application you are using has the 'instabug' module. This module allows you to send information directly from an application that uses it and this is done by the 'screenshot' function of the device. Once Qobuz Beta is open, when you make a screenshot, the function will be identified by the instabug module and will retrieve information that will be sent to our developers to better identify the source of the problem. This module allows us to retrieve the event, the screenshot action to activate and send information. Regards Richter Di 1 Qobuz Product Manager for Desktop, Web Player and Search Engine.

Thank you Matt Hi, All Qobuz Partner and Qobuz Applications use the same API to get the Qobuz Content. So you get the same information but, all are free to display them or not. For example, Roon use lot's of Meta Data that come from other services. Regards Polyglot and matthias 1 1 Qobuz Product Manager for Desktop, Web Player and Search Engine. Link to comment

Regards Thanks, but things like only half downloaded playlists and a non-working „import rest of playlist“ function plus a lot of stops in mid track and saying this track can not be played because of it‘s format (although perfectly fine, and after re-import will be played without a problem), how can they be transfered by the instabug module?

johey Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hello, Probably I am not the only one experiencing this issue with the Windows app: when I stop playing music (pause or stop, with or without exiting the app), then often other Windows applications are unable to play sound. (this is very annoying when you receive an incoming call from work colleagues!) I may have experienced the opposite too: sound working in Windows but not in Qobuz. I can remediate the problem by letting Windows troubleshoot it (at the end it reports that it has reset the generic audio driver - which is a bit weird as I'm using XMOS USB Audio). And just now I've discovered an easier solution: restart the windows "audiosrv" service (net stop audiosrv && net start audiosrv). But of course it would be even better if I didn't have to solve it at all! As far as I can tell I am not using the Exclusive Mode (even if so, wouldn't Qobuz "release" the driver when the music is stopped?). Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help. Edit: sorry, forgot to mention: I'm on Windows 10. Everything (Windows, drivers, Qobuz app) is up-to-date. The problem also reoccurs after having restarted Windows. Link to comment

jacobacci Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I know this question was answered sometime back, but I cannot find the information any more: Can someone point me to the Qobuz search parameters to find i.e. hires, multichannel albums. Is there a complete list of parameters that can be applied in the search field of the Qobuz app? Thanks a lot Link to comment

johey Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Hi, Maybe this kind of problem is automatically detected, but sometimes a track seems broken. E.g. https://open.qobuz.com/track/35927249 and https://open.qobuz.com/track/35927250 The tracks start playing but after a few seconds it stops and the play icon keeps spinning. A renewed attempt does the same thing, so this problem really seems related to specific tracks. (if this cannot be automatically be detected/reported, maybe allow the user to report the issue manually?) Thanks for having a look at this. Best regards, Johan Link to comment

Then I used the "Delete from the cache" option on those 2 tracks which solved the issue. So apparently the downloaded tracks were corrupted?

johey Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I can't access this album anymore: https://open.qobuz.com/album/s1jqzd5x0vjzb Not with the Windows App and not with the web player. It's always giving HTTP error 500. I was able to play this a few weeks ago. Other albums are still working. The Windows App often keeps crashing though. Clearing the cache isn't really a solution as the problem keeps coming back. I've got these issues on different computers that all have very good specifications. Will the "issue with the desktop app about buffer and cache" be solved soon? Thanks for your response. Link to comment

davidovada Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Ciao from Italy...not sure if this a Qobuz problem or an LMS/Material problem. Often when I choose an album from favorites, an incorrect album (always close by on the grid will play). This doesn't happen at the top of the grid, rather closer to the bottom(732 favorites). I have encountered this problem also on iPeng. I don't see a possibility to re-sync with Qobuz...or even if this is a fix. There is a different problem of duplications on Audirvana desktop. Not sure if these issues are connected. I've tried deleting LMS and reinstalling. The problem remains. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Since the problem appears in two different interfaces, it sounds like an indexing error by the Qobuz plugin for LMS, or by LMS itself. You'll likely get the best replies to your post on the slimdevices forum. I suggest you post screen shots there to help everyone understand the specifics, with circles and notes if possible. I don't use favorites much myself. Everyone wants to date my avatar. Link to comment
davidovada Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 L/C thank you for the help. The favorites grid I am referring to comes from Qobuz. It's what has worked for me for years with LMS. I had already posted this in the slim forum. Hopefully, this will be solved. It's interesting that it only happens when selecting an album at the bottom of the grid...older favorites by a few years. Given the tragedies occurring on a daily basis in our world, this problem ranks pretty low. iMac - iTunes(AIFF) - Squeeze 7.9- QOBUZ flac streamer - Vodafone Revolution Router - Transporter - Pathos Classic One MkIII - JM/Focal Daline 3 - dhLabs & Xindak xlr cables - Mapleshade header and footers - AppleTV3 Link to comment
