Hi
Seems to be hard, if possible? to integrate Qoubus to JRiver.
Is there any simple solution to this.

We have no plans for Qobuz.

You can use the WDM driver to route sound through MC.

I'm a MC beginner so I didn't understand.
Is it possible a easy instruction?
Thank you

Thank you. I read it, but no mention for Qobuz.
How can I streaming Qobuz by JRiver?

The WDM driver is a virtual audio driver that can be used with other apps outside of Media Center. Which means you'd have to load up and use the existing Qobuz (or Tidal) app with Media Center running at the same time and set the Qobuz (or Tidal) app to use Media Center's WDM driver as the audio output in order for the audio to be piped through Media Center. There is no Qobuz (or Tidal) integration in Media Center itself, so it relies on the existing Qobuz (or Tidal) app running alongside it with the WDM driver piping the audio through it. This may not be desirable as it requires the Qobuz (or Tidal) app to be running too but it's the only way to playback Qobuz (or Tidal) through Media Center.

Be warned though, there seems to be an ongoing issue playing back 24/192 Qobuz (or Tidal) content with the WDM driver, so that may not work.

Thank you very much.
So is not necessary Bubbleupnp and creating an HomeConnect with JRiver?
The Qobuz App sees JRiver? Also from iPad?
And the streaming flows through JPlayer with all the JRiver setting and DSP and VST?

Awesome Donkey · « **Reply #7 on:** October 21, 2024, 02:17:28 am »

The WDM driver is Windows-only and is not available on any other platform, so if you're using other platforms like Android other apps are likely necessary. No, it won't work on iOS either. Again, the WDM driver only works on Windows from playback on Windows-only.

How it'd work is the Qobuz app on Windows would see the Windows version of Media Center's virtual audio driver as an option for the audio output and you could use it as the audio output on Windows.

Thank you very much, again.
I found it

But if I want to use this remotely how can I do?

Awesome Donkey · « **Reply #9 on:** October 21, 2024, 02:24:43 am »

Remotely to other devices? You can't, unfortunately. It'd only work locally on the Windows device both Media Center and the Qobuz app are running on to the audio output set in Media Center. If the audio output is DLNA-based (and not USB, SPDIF, etc.) it won't work either, as the WDM driver doesn't work over DLNA.

Angelo58 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 21, 2024, 02:45:12 am »

But my streamer dac is upnp. I can’t connect it with usb.

Awesome Donkey · « **Reply #11 on:** October 21, 2024, 02:50:49 am »

Yeah, the WDM driver won't work with UPnP either unfortunately so it's a no-go. Unfortunately that means there's no way to play Qobuz through Media Center in your setup.

Angelo58 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 21, 2024, 02:54:08 am »

it's a nightmare!
I'm trying from Windows.
I launch the Qobuz app, select jriver driver. I choose a song and play it. the Qobuz application closes.

Yes, Media Center in generally can see and playback to DLNA/UPnP devices in general... but the WDM driver feature doesn't work for that. WDM driver doesn't work over DLNA/UPnP.

Angelo58 · « **Reply #15 on:** October 21, 2024, 03:19:23 am »

But with bubbleupnp works

Awesome Donkey · « **Reply #16 on:** October 21, 2024, 03:27:11 am »

BubbleUPnP isn't a JRiver app, it can access JRiver's libraries via DLNA/UPnP that are on the network when Media Network is enabled.

Angelo58 · « **Reply #17 on:** October 21, 2024, 03:52:26 am »

Certain! but I meant that with bubbleupnp jriver receives from qobuz and sends to my Atoll via upnp.

Angelo58 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 21, 2024, 03:53:39 am »

unfortunately the audio stream that jriver sends to the Atoll I can't pass it through jriver's dsp or vst

BubbleUPnP's Qobuz implementation is its own and has nothing to do with JRiver or Media Center itself.

Correct. It doesn't work for audio passed through the WDM driver.

Thanks again for your availability and clarity. However, I am very sorry because I wasted a lot of time. It would be useful to state clearly that JRiver is designed for managing local libraries and endpoints physically connected to the computer. There are other free players that allow both access to Upnp streamers and reception from streaming services by using your own DSP or other plugins and VSTs. For example Foobar2000. I would have liked JRiver more, but it is completely unusable in my case.

JimH · « **Reply #21 on:** October 21, 2024, 08:05:33 am »

JRiver supports:
Cloudplay, our own streaming service
Podcasts
Web Media
DLNA, which predates the use of "endpoint"
Client / Server using JRiver on both sides
Multiple remotes
Remote streaming from JRiver anywhere on the Internet

Your statement of what it does in only partially correct.

Angelo58 · « **Reply #22 on:** October 21, 2024, 12:41:31 pm »

Thanks for your clarification, but I was trying to achieve with JRiver what many other players, even free ones, do. And the reason is that I really like the many possibilities that JRiver offers, but that become unusable for me if I can't direct JRiver to my Upnp Atoll MS120 endpoint which has no USB port. This is the answer I'm looking for but it seems that no one knows how to do it. Some hastily say that it cannot be done and that's it. Others that it can be done but can't tell me how.

Awesome Donkey · « **Reply #23 on:** October 21, 2024, 05:02:25 pm »

To be clear what I was referring to above was the use of Qobuz/Tidal through Media Center, not anything with a local library/files, DLNA/UPnP outputs or anything like that. Specifically I was referring to since Media Center doesn't support or integrate Qobuz/Tidal that the only way to either get Qobuz/Tidal working through Media Center is the WDM driver on Windows, which I also pointed out that the WDM driver output doesn't work through DLNA/UPnP.

Other than the Qobuz/Tidal stuff, it should be very capable.

Angelo58 · « **Reply #24 on:** October 21, 2024, 10:36:56 pm »

So Radio, Podcast, CouldPlay, Web Media etc, works with Upnp endpoint, through the JRiver audio path ?

Would be very appreciative for a How To.

Thank you

In summary, DSP and VST work perfectly from both Qobuz and Local and interact in real time, showing what is happening and completing the audio path to my Atoll Upnp, without USB connection.

I still have to experiment with the whole Streaming section of the interface, so that it behaves in the same way.

Angelo58 · « **Reply #26 on:** **Yesterday** at 06:46:46 am »

As we wanted to demonstrate. After yesterday's results, today I tried to repeat the miracle, but I didn't succeed.
I have the impression that nobody cares and it's a real shame.
