Ongoing Beta Beta Test: Qobuz Connect

[celeste]

I signed up today but I am only seeing google cast. I have the beta on my android tablet, desktop and waiting for iOS to come in. Is there anything I can do to correct that? Thank you, I searched but maybe didn't put in the right phrase to look for.

did you already receive the welcome email from qobuz that you were accepted for the beta?
what WiiM model you have?
and were you already able to join the beta from within WHA (WiiM Home App)?
all your devices won't see your WiiM as an qc endpoint/target unless it's already running the beta connect firmware and the clients running the qconnect-beta07 version of the qobuz app, NOT the public beta.

Looks like I’ve been turfed out of the Qobuz Beta - guess I’ll need to contact Qobuz and see why. Hadn’t been using it a lot tbh for a variety of reasons, but the Android app now doesn’t see any connect devices and the iOS app just tells me it’s expired. No loss if I have to wait for the public release as it might free up a WiiM or two to try other beta firmware…

interesting but sad to hear.. i've only just started my time on the beta since yesterday so can't really comment other than if you've confirmed you're still on qconnect-beta07?
i recall someone mentioning a while back the regular beta had been applied on their Android, replacing the qc one..but that ofc doesn't explain the expired iOS app

Yes received the email. I have 4 wiim pros, I was able to join in the app. On desktop it launches beta app but only Google connect is available. On Android it says it's beta in settings but same thing. I restarted them Wiim I am trying it on hoping it was that. Confused. Thank you for responding.

Yeah, still got that Android version and the iOS TestFlight app tells me the developer removed me from the test. As I say, no great loss but I’ll contact Qobuz anyway and see what’s what.

oh you're a veteran haha, just launched the app on Android and was able to connect to my Pro Plus..just to confirm it's not like a service interruption from qobuz' side of things..at least not in my region (Europe)

I think it might be going to work on Android it's reinstalling beta app.

Even stranger - if I go to the PC desktop beta, I still can see my beta WiiM devices OK, and if I cast to my Android phone that couldn't see the WiiMs on the beta firmware, it then can see the Wiim betas as well as the Desktop beta. iOs testflight invite expired so looks like I need to contact the Qobuz Beta team.

That is odd. Probably error on their side.

I don't think I have right beta firmware. I have general public beta.

Did you update firmware on your WiiM to Qobuz Connect beta?

I noticed that I can skip tracks from the Wiim Home App, but I wonder why in the Wiim Home App the queue sent by the Qobuz app is not displayed.

I would guess that the queueing that is managed in the Qobuz cloud doesn't get communicated to WHA. I would consider any functionality in WHA that can be used with a QC session to be icing on the cake, although frankly I'd still prefer to use the Qobuz app for pretty much every control function when streaming Qobuz content.

How long does it take Qobuz to set up TestFlight? It seems to be a very long process.

I'd guess so too - Tidal Connect is the same, the queue is not visible in the wiim app / on the ultra screen, but is if played from within the wiim app instead.

Did you update firmware on your WiiM to Qobuz Connect beta?

Yes I did, I only got the initial email saying I was accepted. Should I have gotten another one? The app did ask me if I wanted to do beta testing. Then took me to firmware and I grabbed it. Windows I have the beta app but it's not letting me see the Wiim either.

Didn't work
UGH

Did you provide Qobuz with the MAC address(es) and serial number(s) of your WiiM devices(s)? As well as your Play Store ID so that your account can be flagged for the QC-specific beta app?

Yes I provided MAC, Serial, Device Model and both accounts. Should I run it again?
