Open Beta Testing of new TIDAL and QOBUZ implementation, feedback wanted

This getting very ugly. “Tidal” keeps disappearing on me I went back to Factory Settings twice and only for once it corrected it and then it went away again. Before the factory setting reset, I had reinstalled Volumio from scratch and it worked for a while then it disappeared again. How can I fix it as of now I tried both reinstalling and factory reset and nothing worked…

Hello,
Mysteriously, seeming like others, my access to TIDAL has disappeared. I was using the beta. I noticed that a new update was available and upgraded to v2.861. Still no TIDAL. What can be done??? I would prefer not to revert to factory settings as I have my current settings tweaked to my liking.

Please advise.
Marc

It happened to me post upgrade AND reboot. After a second reboot Tidal was back…
On another pi without reboot Tidal did not disappeared.

Not sure double reboot could be the solution but worth the try before resetting

Qobuz disappeared from my setup, so I updated and still I have no Tidal nor Qobuz. Help.

Just found something that may be relevant. I have a screen attached to my rpi and on the screen, I am not logged into Volumio but on my tablet, I am. I tried to login via the screen but it won’t work, it tells me that there is a communications issue, when I get another chance I will take a screenshot.

After trying again to login after a fresh boot, the message is; A network error (such as timeout, interrupted connection or unreachable host) has occurred.

Hello @volumio ,
I have the last version of Volumio (with Virtuoso plan) and after a reboot I lost my Qobuz access. A new reboot or a refresh of the navigator after 2mn didn’t fix the problem. The beta version was fine, it’s a new problem. Could you do a fix or explain us how bypass this bug ? Thanks by advance

Hi All,

Shortly : Missing Tidal and Qobuz in Virtuoso subscription plan.

In detail : After reactivation of subscription to Virtuoso {( after paying) (because I runned out on next year extention)} and updating to 2.866, Tidal and the Qobuz option are disappearing from playback devices, and they are also missing from MyVolumio Streaming Services. This defficit exists after few restart to.
The configuration is : Version 2.866, Odroid C2, SMSL M500 USB DAC

So, please advice !

Hi!
Can you contact us at support at volumio dot org ?
Davide, our support specialist, will take care of you

Hello ,

So from now one if we are having some issues on payed functionalities , we should adres this via email ?
Thanks

Hi!

First you can try to logout from Virtuoso, restart. login Virtuoso and check in Sources.
If doesn’t work try to browse to another section (Playback opt. i.e.) and then come back to Sources, wait some seconds.

If it still doesn’work try to set TEST MODE in YOURVOLUMIOip/dev and repeat the procedure above

Hi Davide,

I tried both solution, but still not working, but I found one error message while volumio is starting up : my_volumio Plugin - This plugin is failed to start. Please install updated version, or contact plugin developer.
Maybe it is not important, but I changed my registered email at myVolumio few weeks ago … so and I use the new one to log in. Log in works ok, i can see mayself logged in. But, for example there is no devices visible under : Activate MyVolumio On Devices portion …

Update : Laptop ( PC) version 2.868 for some magic reason start to work as expected. Virtouso plan is active, TIDAL available, and working …
So, until now 1 of 3 device is OK.
Let me ask, if I have 3 volumio devices, can I use ( log in) virtouso account on all of them ? Or I need to log out from one to be able to use and log in to another device ? ( This sound very logically …, but I need conformation)

You can log into Virtuoso on each one, but the paid features will work only on one at a time.
You have to deactivate devices, you are not interested on, from MyVolumio devices to skip from one “Virtuoso device” to another

Hi,
…definatelly the 2.866 has a problem with starting up myVolumio service, there is an erro during start up. Restoring volumio to fallback version ( 2.865), there is no more erro with starting up myVolumio, and TIDAL appears, and works …
Thanks !

Volumio 2.868 with Hifiberry DAC2 HD hat on Raspberry Pi 4.
I was getting only 48kHz/24bit decoding for Tidal Masters. Switch MQA off in Sources settings and now for the same songs I am getting 44.1/32bit output.
The songs are supposedly 96kHz/24bit off of the Tidal Master album “Bryter Layter” by Nick Drake.

Should I be getting 96kHz from Tidal Masters? Is turning off MQA the right approach? Am I seeing 44.1/32 because that is what my DAC can do or is that a Volumio limitation/configuration?

I am new to Volumio and new to this forum. Please feel free to school me on what I left out or any other ways to improve my postings.

Does your DAC support FULL MQA decoding?

HI ,
I do not know what is with Tidal so much . Currently I have Qobuz , Tidal (no MQA DAC) and Spotify .
The best sound quality is given by Qobuz , easyli seen then Spotify . Tidal sucks, also my brother said so , maybe on MQA is different. Also Spoity is close to Qobuz so I guess I will remain with Spotify .
Sorry for of topic
Thanks

What are you aiming for with this post? Saying something sucks and this one is better than that one without giving any information, isn’t helping anyone.

In my opinion none of the streaming services are bad. Qobuz or Tidal is a matter of taste. Soundwise Spotify is technically (and also to my ears) far behind of the other two. But to some people it is really convenient. Qobuz is sounding great but has its caveats if you are into some kinds of music. Tidal sounds great to me as well and is my choice because I like the library, the sound and the interface (Artist radio is great for me). MQA is a nice addition but no deal maker or beaker to me.

Saying Spotify is sounding better than Tidal or close to Qobuz is only saying something about your ears. Or maybe about your equipment. Do you maybe just listen via Bluetooth, over WiFi?

Hi,
Sory for this, it was of course only a personal opinion during hearing qobuz tidal or spotify in the last 2 years. I am listening only on volumio hardwired to dac then amplifier. I also like spotify because of curated Playlist and artist radio.
Thanks and happy listen to good music
I also try to convince me that tidal is ok but eery time I listen it was just not good to my ears… I also love the artist radio feature but qobuz or spotify all the time sounds better. Maybe if I had a full. Mqa dac it was OK but…
Regards.
