mconnect on iPhone to play Qobuz via Moode

[TheOldPresbyope]

Both mconnect and BubbleUPnP act as proxy to the upstream Qobuz service. It seems the BubbleUPnP coders chose to include that fact in the track URLs they construct while the mconnect coders did not. Interesting. Either way, the URL is correct for its specific app.

So the IP contained in the OP's offending URL is the IP occupied by the Android phone/ BubbleUPnP combo when it was feeding that Qobuz track to the moOde player.

I don't use UPnP except in brief tests and I haven't paid attention to whether the moOde playback queue retains track info from previous UPnP Control Points when a new one takes over. Nor do I know if this behavior is different when the UPnP Renderer is set to service type "UPnP-A/V" versus "OpenHome" (to match the capability of the Control Point). I routinely clear the queue during testing anyway so I may have dodged a bullet without knowing it.

Good catch, @bsergiu

Hi @TheOldPresbyope this is in fact a "trick" I am using to be able to start playing songs from Qobuz through Moode Interface without having to use the phone. I played my favourite songs via mConnect - uPNP - upmpdcli once through. After that I went to the Moode Web interface where I can see the last played songs, and saved this history queue as a playlist. Moode is saving the URL of each song inside my playlist, and this is a upmpdcli URL, which is of course the PI itself. If somebody would do the same using the mConnect Qobuz plug-in or the Bubble Qobuz plug-in, they would have the phone URLs.

Last but not least. I really appreciate your time and the engagement in this forum. I recently joined, and I am pleasantly surprised

Hello everybody. Yesterday I finally visited my friend, so I tried again to play Qobuz, both via BubbleUPNP (Android) and mconnectLite (iPhone). First of all he's been using Moode 8.3.8 on a Pi4-4GB via WiFi, music on a 2.5" 4TB USB HD, without any issue, reaching its page on the iPhone at the given static IP. Perfect.

After half on hour of tests on Bubble I activated the "Proxy Qobuz tracks" function: suddenly it worked properly. No more errors. That was the problem!

Unfortunately I haven't been able to find that function on the mconnectLite. It seems to be much less versatile than Bubble. Unfortunately he needs that one, or a similar piece of software. But at least I know what what to look for!
