I have sent a bug ‘hicup’ to Qobuz via the QC app. What’s the mechanism to inform @WiiM Team?
Hicup in a transition between 2 short tracks in an album.

Re the WiiM team, just the usual more/feedback in the WiiM app although I tend to put “Qobuz Connect Beta” at the start of the ticket subject.
I have been Beta testing Qobuz Connect using aWiiM Pro Plus streamer with a Samsung Android A53 phone. Everything is working well. I am not doing anything fancy, just selecting an album and streaming it. I am not doing Multnomah. It works very well for my purposes. I did suggest storing last stream to equipment and volume.

I'm seeing a new issue with WiiMs in multiroom mode and the most recent Android beta of the Qobuz app (qconnect-beta08). When streaming an album, set playlist, or artist/song radio playlist, the app does not reflect transitions to next songs (and in some cases, the progress indicator doesn't move). This does not occur at all when sending to a single WiiM endpoint; IOW, QC works beautifully.
Can anyone else test and confirm whether they're seeing the same thing? FWIW, in my case an Ultra is the master and a Pro is the slave. Would like to see whether it's me (i.e., my phone) or a more universal bug before I do much more testing/surgery/reporting. Thanks!

Not seeing it here - I used that Android beta Qobuz app to Connect to a Pro Plus which was linked to a Mini, Pro and Ultra and let a playlist run for three or four songs. Everything was in step - the Qobuz and WiiM app on Android, the WiiM app on iOS and even the Ultra screen.
On the latest QC iOS app History does not keep pace. It misses many played tracks. Reported to Qobuz via the app mechanism.
I hope WiiM aren’t jumping the gun as Qobuz can be funny about things like that - they weren’t happy when WiiM mentioned Qobuz Connect in their roadmap a good few months back.
Qobuz's own beta is controlled by them. Even if the QC code is in the WiiM FW one still needs to b enrolled in the Qobuz beta to use it, at least with the iOS app. Maybe open for Android and desktop - do you know?

The GA Android app doesn't support QC. And if you're not on the QC beta list at the Play Store, you aren't going to get it (unless someone put a copy of the APK on some hacking site).
There was an interesting post at Club that Qobuz had ceased onboarding new beta testers because they now plan to roll out the functionality in May.
It’s quite stable for me under iOS.
This new lock screen controller doesn’t work with QC. Not an issue for me, just an observation.
Yeah, I bug reported that and got the reply “Currently, Qobuz Connect does not support lock screen functionality”, so it might come later.
I just meant from the point of view that WiiM including it in GA firmware might be viewed as confirmation of its imminent release, and Qobuz might feel that’s stealing their thunder

I get the impression that all the Denon/Marantz/HEOS firmware in the wild is already QC-compatible. I'm kind of expecting WiiM will update the firmware soon on their non-Ultra devices and QC-ify everything before Qobuz makes it GA in their apps.I just meant from the point of view that WiiM including it in GA firmware might be viewed as confirmation of its imminent release, and Qobuz might feel that’s stealing their thunder
If I were Qobuz, I'd be all in favor of having the streamer environment capable ASAP. It'll only put pressure on the laggards -- cough, cough, Cambridge Audio -- to get with the program sooner than later.

At Qobuz Club forum one user posted this today:
„Hi everyone. I've just been informed that the Qobuz Connect will be rolled out to all subscribers on 5th May. This will make a lot of people very happy I'm sure you will all agree.“
Great news!

Yup, my WiiM Pro with the latest non-beta firmware appears as a QC target in the latest beta Qobuz app. And it works!

What is the latest non-beta firmware for the WiiM Ultra? I have 5.2.714249, build date 20250418. I'm not sure if that's a beta or not.
Edit: Hmmm, it seems I have the latest non-beta firmware and was taken out of beta by the last firmware update I did this morning. In any case, the Ultra works great with the beta Qobuz app as well.
