Hmm... interesting. In this case the issue should be reproducible by
using long tracks vs. short tracks? What kind of player are you using?

Maybe logging for player.source could tell us some more?

I am a studio subscriber, and have similar issues. Just adding that also happens, i believe in 320k mp3, but nearer to the end of each piece. Perhaps some changes in buffering ofn Qobuz's part.
Thanks.

Seems to have cleared up. Odd. I"ll pursue with logging if it returns.

I'm not sure that would tell you, because even a short track would need to start buffer the next track, perhaps right away. I think one way to distinguish it would be a single-track playlist. If the track always played OK that way, but skipped when in a multi-track list, it would at least be suggestive.

Bu really, the thing to do would probably be to run both the plugin and the desktop app through a debugging proxy like Fiddler, and compare their behavior when playing the same playlist. But I haven't done that.

All that said, I *shortened* the buffer size from 30s to 3s, and that seems to have helped. I did that on a whim, thinking that if the above theory was correct, it would have to connect sooner, and download more, the larger the desired buffer; while connecting later, and with less to download, would be less likely to trip rate limits.

Who knows, since I haven't actually looked at the traffic, but my very unofficial test last night it played several song through without error which it had been skipping the ends of before.

Of course, I'm not sure if that is even honored in the case of the Qobuz plugin, so it could have been dumb luck. As mentioned above, I was just doing some random guessing and knob turning. Really the only way to check is to capture the traffic (Fiddler, tcpdump, etc.)

Apparently the Qobuz API now supports sorting favorites by artist, name, or date added? Once again, all I know is I've seen a mention of this on another forum: https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/t...omment-1008367

Roon offers sorting capabilites, as well.

New to Qobuz but I am trialling it at present.

Question about "devices". Qobuz Premium or above allows 3 devices as they term it. Under "My Account / My Devices" on Qobuz web site I already see 3 devices registered. One has no info attached to it but the other 2 show IDs in a long string where the last 12 characters look suspiciously like MAC addresses except they do not correlate to anything in my Network. Does anyone have any ideas about how to determine which "devices" can safely be deleted to make room for others?

I read somewhere on Qobuz's own forum a reply that suggested that they treated Sonos multiroom as "a device". Presumably LMS is doing all of the connecting and if anything I should see my LMS server as a device?

I have the same issue!
I deleted all and reset my LMS plugin settings using it as my only device!
After doing this (so ONE device in use), in the Q. devices tab, oddly I have TWO IDs that I still can't recognize! Both should be related to LMS!
I have no streaming issues though!

Just where do you see My Devices? I have Qobuz and I can't see any devices listed anywhere!
