Qobuz integration -- Qobuz Connect?

[kiwiscott]

I like to use the native applications Tidal, Spotify, Qobuz etc to do my streaming and using the 'connect' feature from the apps where the WiiM device then connects to the service for playing at the right resolution. Is there any chance we could change the Qobuz experience to that? This would mean for the majority of feature releases in services that the WiiM is unaffected from an application perspective. I'm not complaining about the app but I think being able to use the native app is really a great thing -- This might also have the positive experience of removing the demand from WiiM team to fix silly 'bugs' like the 500 trap limit in playlists from Qobuz.

Simply the WiiM should just show up in Qobuz as something I can play to. This isn't streaming from my phone but telling the device to go to Qobuz and dl the song, album playlist etc.

Thanks Scott

I did not think Qobuz had released a “connect” capability yet to make this possible? Last I heard it was “in development”.

Oh I see. From the notes I’ve seen on other forums it looks like it’s a 2023 deliverable for them.

Honestly - it’s the streaming services could all agree on a common api then we wouldn’t need to have custom integrations.

It’s a pity…. But knowing WiiM as soon as it’s available we should be good

You can currently do up to 24/96 using the qobuz app and chromecast to the WiiM Pro (the Qobuz app caps chromecast at 24/96)

See here - "The Qobuz app can only be used in CD quality, because of Airplay’s connectivity limiting digital audio files to 16 bit/48 kHz."

We're talking with Qobuz and their "Qobuz Connect" feature is still in-development. But we plan to integrate it when it's available.

Qobuz confirmed in Jan connect is their top priority, is coming this year and Wiim will be the first

So, at present what setting do I use on the macOS qobuz app, teams audio?

 

[stevenglaser]

qobuz will not let me choose chromecast wiim pro

 

[Mr Ee]

Does anything else see the pro as a chromecast device?
Not got one myself, but I've seen others here say you need to set up chromecast on the pro via the google home app first.
I'm assuming that's possible somehow from a mac...

 

[stevenglaser]

Fouhnd a switch in the wiim settings to turn on chromecast.

That's awesome - where is that? Is that on the mini as well or just the pro?

Just the Pro, the mini can’t support chromecast

 

[stevenglaser]

Choose device, then click on the gear in the box, go down the list and near the end under Voice there is a button for chromecast audio. I have found that sometime qubuz sets it back to teams audio, but it is working as we speak.

They are going to release it same date as Spotify Hi-Res music. My grandchild will enjoy it.
