I'm curious to know why Audirvana and not the Qobuz application. If you can tell me more, we could improve the Qobuz application. Qobuz Product Manager for Desktop, Web Player and Search Engine.

David Craff Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 20 hours ago, left channel said: Earlier in this thread it was confirmed that the official Qobuz desktop app will display the Hi-Res logo when an album is available for purchase in Hi-Res, even if it is not available for streaming in Hi-Res. I just tested the same album in LMS, and indeed although the meta data third-parties can grab hands them a "Hi-Res" tag, the album streamed at 943kbps which is CD-quality. Personally I have never encountered this difference in purchase vs. streaming rights with other music on Qobuz, and I suspect it is not a widespread problem. In the post I linked to here, @David Craff stated they are working on this. For information; Qobuz Desktop use Qobuz API (Web Service) to get content. Every applications using Qobuz are using the Qobuz API and of course have this issue. Qobuz Product Manager for Desktop, Web Player and Search Engine. Link to comment

AFAIK, Volumio is a fairly well behaved and standard client. Official Qobuz Applications are audio streamer. This mean that we play an audio file directly from Qobuz Server. The DLNA beta on Qobuz Desktop do the same, just send the audio file url to DLNA Device. However, the parameters of our servers (header/response) are problematic for a very large majority of DLNA-compatible devices and it is not possible to review these parameters because they are important for proper operation. Only solution is to save the audio file on our application, transform the application into DLNA Server, and push the new url to DLNA device. It sounds simple like that but it doesn't have it. Of course that's what others like Roon, Audirvana, Bubble UPnP do, but that's not how Qobuz works. We need to improve our applications to achieve this. left channel 1 Qobuz Product Manager for Desktop, Web Player and Search Engine. Link to comment
David Craff Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 35 minutes ago, jacobacci said: David, thanks for acknowledging that this is a priority for Qobuz. I am hoping that it will resolved soon. DLNA is extremely important from a customer perspective, as it is the gateway to a large number of devices. Google seems to have blessed me with a newer FW than the one you have. Possibly things are broken again with this one. One more reason to get DLNA working. It is definitely not a good thing to have a shaky platform like Google Chromecast Audio as your primary delivery mechanism for tablet users. I would appreciate it, if you could emphasize the importance of this stuff to product management. Qobuz is great from a music choice and hires quality perspective. But the technical site definitely is its achilles' heel. I did not say it's a priority for Qobuz. For me is very important, I know that we must do that, but we have to secure the audio stream too and this one can be a big problem for DLNA. I do my best. And of course I don't whant to have only Chromecast choice for network streaming. left channel 1 Qobuz Product Manager for Desktop, Web Player and Search Engine. Link to comment

After investigation: the latest version of the Google SDK for Google Cast is not yet gapless compatible. We have just migrated our entire Google Cast application to this new SDK, which allows us to provide many additional features and fix operating issues. We will continue our research to find a solution to this problem. PS : Roon offers gapless via a chromecast, either by a custom receiver and in this case does not use the latest Google SDK or partially, or by offering a continuous stream. rickca 1 Qobuz Product Manager for Desktop, Web Player and Search Engine.

Don't understand what takes so long to offer a stream to the US that is already going out to much of the world? Hi, What dit you prefer : - Have Qobuz for USA as soon as possible but at the risk of having many problems or - Have Qobuz for USA when he is ready for a successful launch in this great country For us at Qobuz we chose the second way, it's important for us to have a successful launch in USA. We know that if the launch is not successful, it will not be possible for us to return easily. What takes so long : - Fix recent issues as historical in Qobuz but which could have a very negative effect for this launch - Manage listening rights, different from those in Europe - Manage payment methods, taxes, different from Europe - Set up a dedicated customer service for this country - and more and more...

Well done, and great decision on Roon, which I am sure it will help both companies long term. One small request I have for Qobuz genres: can you add a separate Genre for Metal? Is it possible? Thanks! Thanks to all and to Qobuz USA Team Gender redesign has been underway for some time. It is a rather long work because it is necessary to manage well the gender correspondences between those of the suppliers and those of Qobuz. In addition to that, I need to see if it is possible to offer a more advanced gender navigation, beyond the first level for our applications.

I don't see a special setting for enabling gapless. Am I missing something in the setup or is this a known glitch in the app? Other than this issue, I really like Qobuz so far. I listen almost exclusively to classical music, and gapless playback is necessary for the bulk of what I like (it's essential for opera, for example). Hi Sorry for this issue, gapless will be fix today in the v5.0.2 release. This new release is also available for Web Player and will come in few hours for desktop.

I spend almost 2 hours per day commuting, so integration into my car's sound system is probably my top priority - regardless of the whole MQA debate. I would consider switching to Qobuz if I could still control my playlists while driving through my steering wheel controls as I do now with Tidal and Car Play. Anyone have any experience with this?

Is this music that you have made the choice "Add to Library" or music that you have purchased through Qobuz? For that matter what does "Add to Library mean? I am pretty sure that you do not mean music on your IOS device that you put their by other means like a CD rip? Local music is : - Music in cache when you listen it, but the cache size is not expending, so it's work in fifo mode (first in is first out) - Music that you decided to import Purchased music is not local music and purchased music can't be download from iOS App. Qobuz Product Manager for Desktop, Web Player and Search Engine.

I tried to sign up with my email address as instructed but the site insists on redirecting me to the French site. I assume this is because I once had a "French" Qobuz account. I don't want the French account anymore at all. I've written to Qobuz support about this, but haven't yet gotten an answer. I assume you guys are pretty busy at support these days. I also tried adding Qobuz to my Roon setup. It works, I can see "my" albums, but I can't stream anything. All streaming attempts through Roon fail. I can stream through the Qobuz app on both my tablet and PC, but not through Roon on either platform. Is my failure to be able to stream due to my "conflicting" accounts? The Roon site has other users with a similar problem, BTW. I'll PM you my email address on file at Qobuz, maybe that will help you answer.

I'm hoping the Windows app gets a bit less resource-intensive too. I still like the Qobuz app and service better, but on very very slow machines (like Celeron) the Tidal app is more zippy. No change in this release about resource. Next release will be dedicated to that.

I have unlimited data so I stream music through my iPhone both at home to an Airport Express and mostly while in the car through Car Play (mostly because I prefer Waze for navigation and can only use it through Car Play). I believe Tidal also allows me to download and save to my iPhone, but I've never needed to use that since I have unlimited data streaming via cell phone.

When I open my personal Playlists in the QB desktop app it shows just album icons, no track list ...unless I click on an album. When I go to my QB personal playlists in Roon it just shows a very, very long list of all of the tracks from all of the albums in that playlist. I can click on the album name to see just the information from just that one album but this way of doing things seems very bulky. I looked for a "view" setting but did not find one. Does anyone know how to initially see just the album icons in for one's QB playlists in Roon or is this just the way it is? I am still accessing my account through Great Britain, not the US beta.
