Open Beta Testing of new TIDAL and QOBUZ implementation, feedback wanted

I am very new to streaming on my Raspberry Pi 4B. When I first set it up, I was able to listen to Qobuz reasonable well. It took a bit of poking around to find My Favorites, that are labeled My Albums in this player. It worked for several days.

But after a restart of the Pi, and logging into it via my Android 10 phone on Duck Duck Go - the Qobuz player is no longer there. I looked and it still says it is installed, but I can’t use it because I can’t see it.

How can I resurrect it?

What do you mean you logged in Duck Duck Go?

My browser is Duck Duck Go, that I used to sign into Volumio on my Raspberry Pi 4B. I also tried with Firefox, but it truncates the view of the page, so I can’t see the play / pause buttons at the bottom.

I guess Duck Duck go is blocking requests to Google? If yes, try with Chrome :wink:

It worked for several days with Duck Duck Go - why would it stop working all of a sudden?

And by the way, I have never been able to login to my Pi with the volumio.local or [device name].local Instead we have to look up on our wireless network to fine the local URL and type that in, in order to connect to it.

Edit: I just tried with Chrome, and typed in our local URL, and it connects to the Pi, but Qobuz is still missing.
Edit 2: I just checked and I have the latest version of Volumio - v2.853

Hello, for your information, the URL volumio. local isn’t functional on Android (the necessary discover service on Android doesn’t exist) . See here : URLs in Android
Try with the ip address.

Quite often when I power up RPI and browse to Volumio there’s no Qobuz.
I was using it fine in Beta on previous occasions.
Under Sources, the only way to get the Qobuz login is to unselected the Qobuz and Tidal Beta.
Then I can see Qobuz login and proceed to get some music.
Sometimes after a reboot I can login with Beta enabled.
Happened most recently last night.

How do I disable it from /Dev? I have not done anything except updated latest volumio via system update. I’m still encountering problems in playing all songs in my own custom tidal playlist. There will not be any sound after playing 3-10 tracks. If I play albums from tidal or even From other tidal playlist, no such issue. It can play for days if I don’t stop it. Pls advice. Thks!!

Steve, I would suggest to wait a little bit before going to sources. Or, if you don’t see it, just navigate to another settings page (like network) and wait 10 seconds and then go back to sources.
The reason is that TIDAL and QOBUZ plugin take some seconds to load after the system is started

There is no way to disable it now, it has been released to everyone.
We are working to identify why some tracks cannot be found …

Hi- when i try to remove some album from my preferred album in Qobuz:

Some time Qobuz play only 30 second of a song. After 2-3 reboot or a factory reset it work correctly, it’s a pain.

Version 2.857 hw: raspberry pi 4 GB

Thanks for the update, pls do let me know whether you can replicate the issue. I have been having this issue before and after latest version updates.

It continues to play the last track but there is no sound. For example in my screenshot, it plays “what’s up” and after this song, it’s silent, but when I view on interface, it plays the song again but without any sound. This only happens when I create my own playlist either directly on tidal or volumio. It doesn’t happen to when I make a playlist from my loca usb flacs or if I play from standard playlist available in tidal.

I’ve not checked here in a couple of weeks, but today I had Qobuz and Tidal disappear from the web page. There was no option in settings to login to either. I saw that I had “experimental” checked, so unchecked and then I could login again. Also, I had previously disabled dev mode which I thought was recommended. So which is it? Should I continue to have Dev mode on? When on it allows me to upgrade to 2.857 (I’m still on 2.853).

An apparent bug when playing Tidal playlists. I was trying to pick up a playlist from where I’d listened up to previously, having listened to other, different things in the meantime.

Via web GUI, going to Tidal - Playlists - - pick the track I’d got to previously.

This results in what seems to be random tracks from the playlist playing each time I try to select the right track (usually with playback only starting after several seconds’ delay). And even if the correct track plays, the next track to come on will be the wrong one.

Clicking the ‘play whole playlist’ button at the top, then trying to skip tracks until I got to the right place wouldn’t work either - the first few tracks skipped ok, but then Volumio seemed to get confused and play the wrong track, or just stop.

BUT, instead of trying to start from the correct track, if I click on the ‘play whole playlist’ button that appears in the panel at the top of the playlist, THEN bring up the play queue, and select the correct track from within that, then the correct track plays, and the subsequent tracks play in the correct order.

Seems to be something wrong with how selecting tracks from the playlist itself gets translated into a play/queue command.

I’m in the same boat. The Tidal and Qobuz options disappeared on 2.853 until after turning “experimental” off, then the old Tidal login option was available.

After upgrading to 2.857 the Tidal and Qobuz options completely disappeared so I can’t login to Tidal at all. (And I’ve waited hours for the options to appear under the Sources page and navigated to other settings pages as suggested by @volumio)

I had Qobuz disappear, and the only fix was to reflash Volumio. Not great, but it is not too difficult. I hope that this bug has been squashed.

New update v. 2.861 fix the bug! :slight_smile:

RPI4
Volumio 2.861
Qobuz search does not return results with accentued characters “idées noires” = no result, but “idees noires” ok

Is it just a Qobuz issue or is it widespread to volumio search?
