I've spend some time looking into the aspects of providing updated
metadata in the flow mode for gapless, and also into providing custom
metadata or modified UI in the track by track mode.

This plugin uses Google Default Media Receiver and you can NOT update
metadata without restarting the stream. OK, so I looked into Custom
Receiver (we could have fancy LMS logo). I have created one, registered
with google, can play it and debug it. But can't find a method to update
the metadata property on the default UI that is delivered with Custom
Receiver. From what I see so far, one would have to go not only with the
Custom Receiver (which is not that difficult) but also with custom UI
and UI bindings (this is possible) and Events control to update all of
the custom UI.   

The two GCC players that can play gapless that I found are, Hifi Cast
and squeeze2cast, both employ uninterrupted stream flow and static
metadata (or no metadata), HiFi Cast populates metadata at the begging
of the flow but does not change the metadata when playing different
tracks in the flow.

Google Play does play gapless, they have implemented Media Source
Extensions, but since they play back mp3 only (even if you upload flac)
, this is again not a solution.  

I don't think there is an easy solution to real, non-flow gapless
playing currently available without creating a Custom Receiver with
Custom UI and Event Handlers. And this is not trivial work.

Here is the GCC issue to enable live update to metadata without
restarting the stream.

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/117796638

If this is resolved, one could look into sending a message from the
player to the receiver in the gapless flow and update the metadata
accordingly. I certainly look forward to play without breaks as intended
and display up to date metadata.

Philippe;

Recently I've been using TV Chrome Cast more often and enjoy the TV
display of metadata and cover. This works well from local files and
Spotify, but Qobuz cast does not display Cover Art (the rest of metadata
is OK) . 
The artwork displays fine in the local browser using the url from the
log


Code:


  [14:58:30.495390] sq_get_metadata:497 [0xb5d360]: idx 7
artist:Alexander Melnikov
album:Mozart: Sonatas for Fortepiano and Violin
title:Violin Sonata in A Major, K. 526: III. Presto
genre:
duration:423.000
size:0

cover:http://192.168.254.25:9000/imageproxy/https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.qobuz.com%2Fimages%2Fcovers%2Fub%2F9k%2Fxmdtdzat29kub_600.jpg/image.jpg
  



I also have another question, although don't held much hope...
Title metadata has a very large font on my TV Display and just truncates
long titles, especially classical one... I did not see any font control
in your code. Is there a way to somehow make the font for title smaller
? Album and Artist are tiny but useful and visible fine on a large
display.

Did you try proxied on player audio set up ? Last time I've used
transporter with qobuz (few years ago) this has solved the issue.

My workaround for the not so reliable search function is to use the
"3614977462449" from the qobuz url as search argument.
And then expand the album. Do you have the same issues with tracks using
this search method ?

2014-01-12 Thread matka

In a last while qobuz has been pretty good in supplying pdf booklets for
downloaded albums, especially in classical that I'm after. I can see
booklets in pdf and swf format in an Album call. Here is a snippet from
the hash for album 3149020215029

'goodies' = [
{
'original_url' =
'http://www.qobuz.com/goodies/30651.pdf',
'url' =
'http://www.qobuz.com/goodies/30651.swf',
'name' = Livret num\x{e9}rique,
'id' = 30651,
'file_format_id' = 21,
'description' = Jean-Guihen Queyras and
Ensemble Resonanz - Berg : Lyrische Suite - Schoenberg : Verkl\x{e4}rte
Nacht
}
],

Would it be possible to somehow make the pdf viewable when streaming an
album ? Witht the growing popularity of tablets as controlers, or even
larger smart phones, this would improve the streaming experience.

Is the song/album streamable ? You can check that in the browser at

And just to cover the bases, are you able to play flac at all from local

Great, so I'm not alone. Yes, retrying tracks helps, I've build a crude
loop to try up to 10 times on 404 returns and most of the time I do get
track to play. Also, I have 404 not only on getTrack but sometimes also

As far as your observation about content is concerned, mine is actually
the opposite... newer albums give me most of the grief, but this might
be related to my usage pattern where I do not reply that often.

 Hello Matka
 Sorry but I do not see the problem with the example mentioned above
 (Silvestri). No tracks skip, I just listen the next track!
Did you skip thru all of them ? Also, I think the valid test would be
with desktop player playing flac, I believe all the others are playing
mp3's.

As soon as I get home I will try myself.

I tried at home and Qobuz Desktop is solid, I went thru 5 cd's of
Silvestri skipping tracks and it worked well. Unfortunatelly, LMS qobuz
plug-in did not behave in the same way. Once I started forwarding to the
next track, plug-in did skip some tracks, did not have to go far, upto
20 tracks I've skipped 2 or 3. Also, forwarding backward sometimes will
play the track that was initially skipped.  

So, this is a plug-in problem. Plug-in meisters, can you hear me? I have
been using this plug-in since inception and never had this issue before,
this is my main music source this days and I would hate to give it up.
Can you please test with album 5099972334751 in flac ?

Hi; 

For the last 2 days I have problems when streaming from qobuz. In quite
few album tracks are literally missing, i.e. they are streamable, but
they are not found. There is 404 Not Found code in the logs. To make
things more complicated, tracks dissapear and then become avaliable
again. Just now (10.48 EST) track 02 from album 0002894784515 is not
found.

Did anybody experienced the same ? Have heard from qobuz about changes
or challenges they have ?

 I didn't release this just yet, as I'd like to get some more feedback.
 Michael

I've installed it and here are my observations from web interface.

album 0073145898402, track 2-4 is not streamable as per website. Plugin
builds a playlist for all tracks, including 2-4. In the player part of
the page it specifies mp3, tries to play it, there is no sound, detail
for the track (M) still specifies flac. 

album 0060252755178, none of the track are streamable as per website.
Playlist is build from mp3 samples only and they play as expected for 60
seconds each.

So a little of a mixed bag. 

If you don't mind, here is how I would like the plugin to behave (user
specs :-)) 

a setting toggle to include/not include samples
based on the setting, when track url is get, either drop or include
samples based on the url subdomain, samples subdomain will always stream
mp3.

This is what I would like to see. Personally, I would exclude samples as
they are just annoying. Of course others and yourself, might have a
different usage and behaviour scenario for the plugin.  

Hopefully qobuz will redesign this part of their metadata and plugin can
be made more robust.

As always, thanks for the fantastic work.

 Hi all,
 
 i have installed the plugin (vers 1.81) on my synology DS110j and
 LMS7.7. I have a subscription to Qobuz service (premium, then i tried
 also with Hifi subscription). my playlists created on my iphone are well
 retrieved, but it is impossible to play any track. I tried to play track
 with Squeezeplay on Macos (Squeezeplay 7.7 and 7.8) and on Android;
 impossible to listen anything, each time each track is stopped (without
 any sound) after 1-3 seconds and the message Failed to get next track
 Qobuz is displayed on the Squeezeplay interface.
 Any idea ?
Can you play an album from a search with a new playlist created in
squeezplay ? I just checked and 1.81 works fine for me. Please also note
that this version does not include samples in the playlist (which is
great). See discussion in this thread. Also, check with a browser that
album is streamable.

Michael;

Similiar experience here with Philippe Bianconi - Claude Debussy :
Préludes (Livres I  II). In the browser there is a following message
(translated)

 unlimited listening (streaming) for subscribers Qobuz Hi-Fi
 This album is available for unlimited listening (streaming) and True CD
 quality only through subscription Qobuz High Fidelity! Qobuz Subscribe
 to Hi-Fi

I have noticed before that when retrieving track data sometimes the
streamable argument is not the same as when you do a sign call with
authorization token (like track/getFileUrl). I would guess that the plan
that one has plus label agreement result in a final decision what is
streamable in full. I have full HiFI plan. I can play all tracks from
the above album in full.

To make things even more interesting, there are albums where some tracks
are streamable and some are not. An example The Definitive Joe
Henderson. Here is the info box from browser

 Some tracks are not available in unlimited listening (streaming)
 The copyright holder has not authorized full listen some tracks under
 the offers unlimited music . You can listen to 60 second clips in high
 quality nonetheless.

Tracks 2-4 are directed to samples url, the rest plays in full.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Qobuz.com streaming plugin

2012-11-22 Thread matka

New version 1.74 works great. 

Qobuz does not allow (or is not allowed to) stream all music available
at the site. An example, search Jan Garbarek, first album Magico can
be streamed, the second one Dansere can not. I understand this is a
record label choice, no problem here. 

In the current plugin (1.74), LMS tries to play flac when in fact what
was get is a sample file from sample.qobuz in mp3. Result is a
silence for the duration of original flac track.

Is there a way to handle this and give an early warning ? I tried some
of API calls and found streamable argument not reliable, or I do not
know how to use it properly.

In Android, qobuz provides a warning but only just before playing
starts, after a signed call for a track ? 

Great job, thanks a lot and looking for further improvements.

I do have full plan, 30 Euro.

20 Euro Classical - access to classical only, in Flac or mp3. No access

 Looking at the hi-Fi Classic column, I read there: Listen Anywhere:

 I wonder if you're not looking for the Hi-Fi Integral plan instead of

[SlimDevices: Plugins] qobuz plugin - Duet and Transporter bufferring in FLAC

2012-11-11 Thread matka

Qobuz plugin works fine in FLAC when using Touch, but I had a bad case
of buffering in Transporter and Duet.

I have increased radio buffer size but this did not change anything.
Searching forums I have seen a post related to buffering mp3 radio
stations and the advice was to change player setting from MP3 direct
streaming to proxied streaming. So I tried and... buffering stopped
on both Duet and Transporter.

Both my players are on wired network, stream info still says FLAC.

I'm glad this works, but would anybody know what did I just do ?

This is fantastic, a plugin that is a game changer how I listen to

even a special plan for classical flac !  You pay 20 Euro for classical
flac a month, other genres default to 320 CBR. All flac costs 30 Euro.

Looking forward to improvements to the plugin, although it is already

I have also sampled some non classical music and as expected it plays
320 CBR but only samples. I have checked streaming url and it does say
sample at the front of url name. I'm on 19.99 classical plan, is
sample for anything else a norm on qobuz ? Can't figure this one out,
