Official Qobuz Issues Thread

As the title says, this thread is for Qobuz issues. 

Thanks Chris.

Qobuz recently added DLNA streaming support. Has anyone been able to make this work with the various DLNA devices out in the wild?

I thought you were asking about a forum where Qobuz themselves participate - I couldn't find one.

There is already a thread about this UPnP issue:

Hi Chris @The Computer Audiophile 

Did you get an update from Qobuz, since you mentioned the wheels were in motion a few weeks ago?

I was looking for any official information:)

We all are looking and have been for months (per that thread) ?

Chris @The Computer Audiophile is the best we have since Qobuz are not online. Hopefully he can give us something ?

OK, I have the Sonore Signature Rendu SE, dCS Rossini, a couple Klipsch Three speakers, and a TV on my network today and the Rendu is the only item that doesn't appear in the Qobuz DLNA / UPnP selection menu. I'll do some thorough testing right now and add some other devices. 

Streaming 24/96 to the Rossini right now via Qobuz DLNA. 

At my end, no luck with ultraRendu, DietPi (running GMRender) and HQPlayer Embedded - all a UPnP endpoints.

mConnect Player and Bubble UPnP and Audirvana with Qobuz login plays to all these devices.

Would prefer the native Qobuz app works direct to these devices though.

Great if @David.. Qobuz, Hi-Res Music Evangelist could join us here and help expedite Qobuz working with micro/ultraRendu in  MPD/DLNA mode, especially with Qobuz launch in USA imminent.  A+ has had this working for a long time, but it would be great to get the native Qobuz app to work.

Definitely some issues with playback here. The second track on the album was skipped. Plus, no metadata appears on the Rossini display  or the dCS app.

After the third track on the album playback stopped. 

If I was to take a wild guess there is some bigger changes in the pipe for the Qobuz desktop app, it hasn't updated in quite some time and used to get updates quite frequently.

I know UPNP doesn't work to my Aries, but that's because the Aries now requires OpenHome.

Hi Everyone, Thank you for the interest. We still have a few tasks to complete, but by launch these issues will all be corrected. Yu're listening to a beta version and you'll even have more features that are available currently.

Stay tuned.

Excellent. Let us know if we can help iron out any bugs.

Excellent. It always helps when the key people can reproduce the issue. 

With such close contact to David, you are now a key person ?

So combining your experience with mine ( it doesn't work with my Rendu's or DietPi running GMrender or HQP Embedded) and combining with others mentioned issues too, it's safe to say the Qobuz native app's UPnP feature is broken and has been since release, even with a few updates along the way.

But yes it's a beta feature and it's re-assuring to read from David that this will all be fixed by the US launch.

I don't know if this is the right place for the question but, when will Qobuz enable album search? Currently you can only search for artists. If you search for "Haydn Quartets" or "Bach Walcha" you get nothing. This severely hinders discovery, takes all the fun out of streaming, and makes the service very user-unfriendly.

There is also a bug where some album covers won't load.

Which interface are you suing for Qobuz?

On my Mac app,  on my IOS and Android Qobuz apps, if I search I get returns for Albums, Tracks and Artists.  Searching on the website allows one to pre-define the search by album, artist or label.

I have not experienced the missing album cover issue either.

I'm using the PC desktop software. What you say is surprising since as far as I know on either the PC or web interface it is not possible to search for albums, which is my absolute preferred way of discovering music. I want to be able to search for 'Handel Hogwood' or 'Prokofiev Violin' and see what comes up. Without the ability to perform unrestricted searches of this kind on PC (that is, obtaining full results without the number of albums shown being restricted), I would not change my subscription to Qobuz.

I'm uploading an image of a missing album cover. For me this problem is widespread also.

I just searched on the web interface for your exact phrases and it brought back a list of albums as you wanted.  The desktop apps are just a wrapper for the web player as far as I can tell.

Hi, The DLNA portion of the site is in Beta... Please don't expect it to work properly on everything. But we are working on it and hopefully will be complete by launch.

How do you do it? This is what I get:
