[PROBLEM] Static and skips with large Qobuz song

[Zigzag]

@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.

Hi @TheOldPresbyope - I’ve just done a quick read of upmpdcli’s documentation and as far as I can tell while version 1.5.5 restores its ability to handle Qobuz this actually depends upon ‘uprcl’ a plugin module acting as a media server - so effectively an alternative to miniDLNA .  Apparently this can be configured to act as a gateway to a number of streaming services, albeit sadly not Tidal.   I haven't tested uprcl yet, but it seems that Jean-Francois aspires to model this on MinimServer...
