Qobuz via MoOde

[Skip Pack]

I began a subscription to Qobuz about a month ago on the basis that I, at 78, no longer feel compelled to own a purchased, locally stored, file of new music that I discover. I got and licensed Bubble upnp, and successfully completed the installation and it runs well. I also purchased a Samsung Galaxy 9+ base model tablet. While my phone works fine to control MoOde via the MoOde web interface, it's smaller that I like to browse more generally while listening on the sofa. That's been a big improvement. The tablet functions beautifully running my old friend the MoOde web interface, as well.

My topic that's inspired this post concerns modes for using Qobuz. It seems that functionally there are two. One is using a Bubbleupnp interface which works fine with a little awkwardness in Artist searching in the Qobuz 'library'. I can provide detail if anyone would like to discuss. The other 'mode' I'm using is through the Qobuz web interface in Chrome, which, since MoOde dlna is set up, connects the stream correctly to the renderer. The Qobuz interface functions nicely for the artist searches. I need more exploration time to check out metadata access and other such functions.

Have any other MoOde-with-Qobuz users here tried both methods and have comments and knowledge to share? 

I'm happy for others to use this thread for questions/comments/investigations on this general subject.

Good Morning Skip.
Very very interesting. Could you please elaborate on how you play qobuz through it's web player on chrome?
I cant find any option to select moode as renderer.
"since MoOde dlna is set up" does that just mean activating dlna in system > file sharing or does it require more setting up?

I'm not too happy with Bubbleupnp. For favorites I find it useful to 'to save queue to playlist' in moode rather than going through bubble (before that I copy Artist/Album name from moode's UI to clipboard). upnp renderer has to be 'open home' and logged in.

Other than Bubble (on android) I tried Hi-Fi Cast. I find it more lean and user friendly after a brief initial setup but it does not support 'open home'. Also queue/playlist lenght isnt restricted in free version.

anyways - curious for your quasi qobuz-connect method...

Thanks for the Response,  

At the moment, I\ve gotten myself in a tangle updating to MoOde 9.3.0, self inflicted. I can't check things out until I'm on firmer footing. WRT using Qobuz through it's web player, It just worked after I had started the session using BubbleUPNP and leaving it on, but I did have a failure at that in a later session and did not attempt to diagnose why it was successful on one occasion and not on the second. Once I'm functional again with MoOde, I'll pursue that.

I have used the MoOde interface many times now with Chrome, Firefox, and Vivaldi (a promising browser I'm trialing) and that works well, and I can flip between the Bubble and MoOde interface windows to switch between streaming Qobuz and playing local files on the RPi. The DLNA connection does not seem to impede normal operations.

If I'm making misinformed comments here, I welcome correction.

I play Tidal through Bubble, and I know exactly what you mean about the search function.
I'm watching this thread with interest to see if the web player will work for me..
