About the HiRes streaming: I can't find anything about this "have to
download before play" on the Qobuz Api documentation. It seems to me,
that this might have been a limitation on the hardware player that was
spoken about in the link a page back, or they meant the limitation of
non-Sublim subscribers?

>From all I could find, the HiRes streams are accessible as soon as you
fill all the prerequisites, meaning your account is "sublim" and you
have purchased the track or album as HiRes. Has anyone found cotrary
evidence on this in the Qobuz Api docs?

I'm not sure HiRes streaming is really worth the bother, since (with the
same masters being used) the sound quality should be pretty much
indistinguishable from CD Quality, but if it's easy to implement, then
there would be no harm in adding it to the Plugin IMHO. I'm currently on
a monthly Qobuz HiFi subscription, but thinking about going for an
annual subscription, and Sublim is only 20€ more...still undecided
though. I wish Qobuz would finally fill in the gaps their catalogue
still has, then they'd really be the "best streaming service"...

Thanks to the excellent work Michael Herger does on the Plugin it is
currently possibly the best-supported streaming service on LMS...since
Triode vanished and Spotify is no longer being worked on, Google Play
Music is great, but based on an unofficial API and with very little work
done on the LMS Plugin, Wimp/Tidal aren't seeing much love, same as
Deezer (they rely on Mysqueezebox.com)...
Ickstream might eventually help both Wimp/Tidal, Qobuz and Deezer
support, but currently progress is slow there, and they rely on an
additional server (like msb.com) which adds another layer of complexity
and risk...
