Tim integrated upmpdcli into moOde to provide us UPnP functionality. Baked into upmpdcli is support for a select few commercial streaming services, among them Qobuz. Here's a quote from the upmpdcli site
The upmpdcli maintainer has indicated he is not going to press Qobuz for the necessary app_id/secret. I can't speak for Tim but I suspect he has no desire to either. They seem unfriendly to non-commercial developers.
Meanwhile, we can still use moOde's various connectivities---UPnP or Airplay or Bluetooth---to listen to Qobuz via some other app. Not ideal, perhaps, but workable.
And, yes, it probably would be best just to remove the Qobuz option in the UPnP Config panel, but that's Tim's call.

Kent
PS - I do not have a Qobuz subscription so this is just "chalk talk".

Qobuz access was revoked: If you were using Qobuz and it's not working any more, don't pull your hair, the Qobuz plugin stopped working (either through the Media Server or with OHCredentials). Qobuz revoked the app_id, and also deleted the API documentation on Github. If you are a hardware integrator/manufacturer using upmpdcli to support Qobuz access (I know there are some), I made a modification to the Qobuz plugin so that the app_id/secret can be stored externally instead of being embedded in the source. This means that, if you can convince Qobuz to supply you with the appropriate pair, you can easily restore function, without having to support a modified module. Of course, this supposes that the API itself does not change.
