Qobuz not responding via Naim app

Same issue for me on my NDX2. I noticed that Tidal has also been cutting out this afternoon, but I was planning a permanent move to Qobuz because to my ears it sounds better on Naim than Tidal does. Plugged in an old drive full of music to help reduce my frustration.

Same for me on my Atom. I had been listening to internet radio and when qobuz searching it would only search radio! Spotify and cd via optical all fine.

I have just signed up to Qobuz to try out on my Uniti Star. I can Chromecast from the Qobuz app on my iOS devices to the Star. But using the Qobuz input installed on the Star does not work - I can access artists and tracks, but pressing play is unresponsive.

Plus, after trying to use the Qobuz input, then tracks from either my NAS or an attached USB hard drive are similarly unresponsive. If I disable the Qobuz input in the Star, however, hard drive and NAS sources start working again.

I have tried powering down and restarting the Star.

I believe that it’s safe to say that there is nothing wrong with your Star and that it is a remote issue of some sort.

The problem has been addressed to Naim support and hopefully we can enjoy streaming Qobuz directly through the Naim app soon again.

Thanks, that’s what I am now presuming. It was just a tad worrying to begin with - enabled the Qobuz input and then suddenly couldn’t play any music. Eek.

Anyway, I am now happily listening to Joss Stone remixes on Qobuz via Chromecast, so it’s not a complete disaster.

Hi,

It looks like Qobuz are rejecting our attempt to login to their system from the product. Looks like its started about 10:00 on 30th May, indicating a server side update has gone wrong.

I’ll contact Qobuz this evening with necessary evidence.

Apologies for the inconvenience but this one Is outside of the naim eco-system, so we’ll have to wait for Qobuz to correct the error of their ways.

With regards

Many thanks for the feedback and for taking action Steve.

It is very much appreciated! :smiley:

Glad it’s not just me. Thanks for the info and help.

Thanks Steve.

Does seem strange though that is seems to be rendering my server inputs unresponsive as well.

Have not played my Core in weeks, sounding bloody fabulous…err Qobuz you need to up your game

Hi Gents,

Have given it a poke around and there seems to be a certificate issue on the Qobuz server. On the Naim solution we check the validity of certificates before trusting them (aka good security practice) and it’s failing.

I’ll chase this up with Qobuz engineering, but this might correct itself in the next 24hrs.

Regards

Steve

What’s interesting is that after attempting to play Qobuz, my Star’s screen stopped displaying the currently playing items, even after switching back to Tidal. Also the remote stopped working. Could not pause music.

After a deep sleep (holding in power for a while) things works again.

This is a long standing issue with the Star that I have seen on a few occasions. Perhaps it’s related to connection failure to the streaming platforms.

This is why I have tidal and Qobuz both. Qobuz not playing on 555.

I have the same problem through the Uniti Nova. It started on Friday (May 29th). The Qobuz app itself works fine but nothing plays through the Qobuz icon on the Naim App

Same here. I thought my new Atom was bust. Thank goodness for the forum.

Just checked this morning Qobuz is still down

Still down this morning Steve.

I have the same problem with my my ND 5 XS2 but I don’t think it is on the Qobuz side. My bluesound streamer and my old innuos zen stream Qobuz without any problems and on my phone Qobuz works fine. Must be something in the communication Qobuz -Naim. I sent a message to naim-support yesterday and got confirmation they are working on it

Same issue for me.

Hi guys,

One of the https certificates is still expired On the Qobuz domain, hence the system won’t work while in this state. On devices/code that don’t verify validity of the certificates chain it will work - however that’s not a great idea nowadays. As a test I disabled security checks on one of my devices and it came back to life.

Here is a link to a third party site that shows the problem in a user friendly way:
https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=Www.qobuz.com

I’ve tried to contact various at Qobuz regarding the problem, but with it being a weekend I suspect this will need to wait till Monday.
