Ongoing Beta Beta Test: Qobuz Connect

[rlovison]

Android Heads-Up!!

Overnight my Qobuz beta 04 app was updated by the Play Store, and evidently replaced with the GA version of the app. Probably a Google glitch. I’ll try deleting data/cache, uninstalling the app, and reinstalling from the link Qobuz sent earlier. Will update this note later today on if that successfully fixed the issue.

I don’t know if I’m a one-off or if all the Android beta testers will be affected, so be careful!

EDIT: Deleting the GA app and reinstalling from the beta link did not restore the beta app. The version that was installed is 8.5.0.0 (although it has the beta icon and is labeled “Qobuz Bêta”). But no QC endpoints show up as renderers. Guess I’ll be dead in the water until this gets worked out — by Google I assume.

A couple of people at Qobuz Club reported they were impacted after I posted the above.

Problem seems to be solved with another upload to Google. I've been upgraded to Beta 5 and my WiiM Pro device recognized.

Unavailable track problem:
Qobuz displays "unavailable tracks" at least either when an album is not yet fully available (some tracks are , others not), or when on a playlist an album has been removed from the catalog : the corresponding tracks used by the playlist from this album are tagged unvailable and greyed. Qobuz skips these unavailable tracks when playing the album or the playlist. Fine.
When using QC with WIIM Pro Plus as a player from an iPhone or a MacBook as a telecommand, these unavailable tracks are a problem : the track immediately before an "unavalaible track" cannot play and QC tries undefinitvely to load unsuccesfully this track . QC is locked. The problem can be reproduced.
Note that the track after the unavailable track can be played without problem as well as the track before the track before the unavailable track.

This behavior is also happening when playing from the Wiim home app. Qobuz selected in Wiim Home, unavailable track on a Qobuz Playlist, music stops. QC not involved afaik.

Thank you. I found it, just before you posted, as a comment on the original post dated June 24th.

And working acceptably on multiroom WiiM devices. I'm astonished there hasn't been a WiiM QC beta firmware update (I'm assuming the solution at least partly relies on WiiM). I don't think QC can go GA until this issue has been resolved.

I have a question... is this forum closed to non beta testers?

Evidently not. WiiM seems to be pretty transparent with what beta testing is going on, and IIRC threre were no NDAs from WiiM or Qobuz with the QC beta. In fact, Qobuz appears to be opening the floodgates to anyone who is interested in beta testing QC before they make it GA -- perhaps not least because they'd like to put pressure on straggling CE manufacturers to support it sooner rather than later -- and there is no better way of doing so than to get those mfrs' customers to agitate a bit.

Thank you for a bit of clarity.
