Qobuz.com streaming plugin

[SamY]

I'm sorry, my fault. Fix is in the pipeline. Thanks for the heads up!

It seems that there is a problem playing Qobuz albums from the Favorites with 2.9.2. I'm not sure if it's related to a similar one that was fixed in 2.9.1. An example of the URL saved in a favorited album is "qobuz:album:0074646578421". It works fine when added to the queue from the library view but not from the Favorites.

Is it possible that the fix made in 2.9.1 was inadvertently backed out in 2.9.2?

Hmm... I still can play the above URI, as well as my favorited albums. Are you sure the clone you're working on is up to date?

Here's a q'n'd patch to let you see how the URI is being parsed:

It's possible that my test installation has become corrupted. I'll check it out. Thanks for the patch.

I'm thinking that the OP had been using LMS_Connect before and just picked the wrong icon from the list of target apps this time. "LMS" vs "Play to LMS" --- an easy mistake to make. I don't think I've ever tried to share a track to Material Skin before.

No, there's a Material APK that also allows sharing - its icon is just "LMS"

Yes, I understand that now. Michael has fixed the OP's problem with an update to the Qobuz plugin. I apologize for my ignorance of the sharing feature in Material Skin. Is there nothing it can't do?

mherger Sorry. My bad. The copy of ProtocolHandler.pm in my Qobuz plugin directory had been inadvertently back-leveled. Everything is now fine. Thanks for merging my pull request for adding the 'work' to track titles. I think it will make those Qobuz users who are fans of classical music very happy.

Looks like a recent version had a changelog saying something about improving handling local albums or something along those lines, however I'm still having issues where tracks are getting duplicated if I have an album added to my library via qobuz, and then add the same album locally. Local album should override the qobuz rather than both being displayed at the same time.

Not sure if this is what that was supposed to fix, but if so... it didn't work

No recent changes to the plugin have anything to do with what you are talking about. However, there is an option in the Online Music Library Integration plugin that should do what you want. Personally, I prefer to see both versions in my library view but each to his/her own.

This issue was reported to Michael a while ago and I think he fixed it but if so the fix was in the scanner code in LMS 8.4 not in the Qobuz plugin. It only occurred if you had the Qobuz (or Spotify which it also affected) album first and then added a local rip not the other way around.

Yes, that's the behavior I am seeing. Unfortunately I am up to date on LMS and plugins.

Ignore my response above. I didn't realize that this topic had such a rich history behind it.

It's not really helpful to start an old topic in a different thread. But in the other thread I said I wasn't able to reproduce this issue. So maybe you need to figure out a way how to reproduce. I can't fix an issue that doesn't exist (from my point of view).

One short question,
what subscription do i need to stream the track in flac?
I've tried "Qobuz Studio" but LMS only streams in mp3. I set the plugin to stream up to 92kHz and yes it is installed.
When using the webplayer it works fine up to HiRes!
So what is missing or what can i do to stream HiRes?
Regards
Christoph

"Studio" is fine.

Have you checked that LMS is not transcoding down to MP3?

Tell us more about your setup (LMS version, what player you are using like Boom, Radio, Touch or Squeezelite, etc etc)

I am using LMS 8.3, on Win11, all players you named and a raspi (i can also reactivate a classic)
Has Qobuz an own streaming format? if not, than the expected flac isn't transcoded.
Could it be that Qobuz streams only flac, if the first free month ends?
