Description Of Issue
With either zone Qobuz will not play any music. The song playback duration bar bounces back and forth with no playback. Occasionally it will state a comment about slow response. Once it played a song when I lowered the max resolution to Redbook (16/44.1). It’s also important to note that I have no problems streaming Tidal even at high resolution to either zone.
Hello @Steven_Bonamo and thanks for the information! Have you tried signing out and back into Qobuz via Roon to see if that helps? Also, from your post I take it this issue is constant? Lastly, are you able to upload a video of the bar bouncing back and forth? Thanks!
Yes, the issue is constant, the most it played was when lowered to MP3 quality I go 1 song to play. Also, yes I signed in and out several times no change. Also I should have mentioned that the Qobuz app has no issues, woks fine. In terms of an end point, the issue occurs when playing local where no remote end point is used. Again, no issue with Tidal.
Also, seems I can’t upload a video, file format not permitted only pics. is there another way?
Any idea or recommended troubleshooting tips? From what I’ve read and what I’ve troubleshot, there seems to be bug(s) with Qobuz integration with Roon. Again, Tidal works perfectly so there is no bandwidth problem, no connectivity problem with DNS servers, etc. Frustrating that I’m paying for a service that I can’t even use via Roon.
The bouncing back and firth is as simple as stated, the song playback duration window has a blue light bouncing from left to right, surely I can’t be the only person to have experienced this visual which is part of Roon’s program? Also, I have tried playing to the system playing Roon’s core and on my local machine. I’ve tried playing from several devices, a notebook and my desktop, same result. Also, as a reminder, Tidal streams high res MQA instantly upon picking any track.
I spent the last several hours combing through Roon log files and others who had the exact same issue as I did - can’t play Qobuz but can play Tidal via ROON, high res or not, local or remote core. Net is - Qobuz via ROON does not play well with IPv6. I see others had the same problem and several resolved the same way - disable IPv6. Also, while others disabled IPv6 at the router it is not necessary. As long as IPv6 is disabled (allowing IPv4 only) at the core no issues occur. For others who subscribe to ROON and Qobuz with streaming issues I highly recommend you broadcast this as a first step rather than asking for spurious information, might save a ton of customers’ time and frustration.
