If this has been covered somewhere recently just post the links and I’ll go. I couldn’t get google to cough anything up. At any rate…
I’ve been using Bubble uPnP on my android phone to stream Tidal directly to my receiver’s (Pioneer SC-89) uPnP renderer for several years now. But I can’t get gapless playback and it’s been driving me a little nuts.
So I got a brand-new Raspberry Pi kit from Amazon last week and, eventually, stumbled across Volumio. I got all the pieces in place and successfully installed a (current-as-of-two-days-ago) working Volumio system. The phone uses my WLAN, but the Volumio and receiver are hard-wired (into the same switch no less). I was able to use Bubble uPnP to stream FLAC files from my (synology) SAN’s uPnP server to the Volumio. Gapless and everything!
However, I can’t get BubbleUPnP to stream Tidal to Volumio. I get errors that I’ll post later if it matters, but first I wanted to check: Is this even possible? In my head, it seems like it’d be a no-brainer. My android phone would stand between Tidal and Volumio, and the rest would just work.
But it’s not working. Should it?
