[PROBLEM] Static and skips with large Qobuz song

[dgelman]

@dgelman

I'm a very literal reader. Let me make sure I understand your circumstance.

1. The title says "large Qobuz song." Does this means only long tracks are a problem and short ones play ok?

2. You mention two different control programs but not the method of interaction with Qobuz servers. By this I mean

a) one can configure the moOde UPnP Renderer/Qobuz plugin with one's login credentials, after which moOde acts a proxy for the Qobuz servers, or
b) one can configure some control program with one's Qobuz login credentials directly (for mconnectLite on my iPad, for example, Qobuz is found under "Internet Music"), after which the control program acts as a proxy for the Qobuz servers.

Which method are you using?

I have to warn that method a) is still rather unreliable with the version of upmpdcli included in moOde 7.0.1. The next release of moOde includes a newer, much more reliable version of upmpdcli. I recommend method b).

I just listened to the 19-minute track you identified using method b) --- Lovely music and deft conducting by Previn. No static, no skips.

Kent,


Thanks for replying.

1) I've had the problem off and on with small songs, but inconsistently, and only when I was interacting with the UPnP controller (eg. pausing or scanning). This song was the first that I could not play through at all. It's also the longest one I tried to play. I am assuming a connection, but have not rigorously tested it.

Though after your reply, and after rebooting both the pi and the controller, I was able to play through the song without issues for the first time (well, there was some pauses in the first few seconds). That said, I've 'solved' the problem several times with rebooting and it has always reappeared at some future point.

2) I am using method b with both Controllers
