Upmpdcli 1.3.2

Posted by: nbpf on 27 September 2018

In the past I had reported some problems while streaming long tracks from Qobuz using the upmpdcli renderer. Every now and then, replay would suddently jump to the next track. I discovered that this problem mainly affected certain albums, e.g., Mahler's 5th by Adam Fischer. Most albums would replay flawlessly for many hours. There has been reports on CA confirming the issue on Sonore and other devices.

Version 1.3.2 of upmpdcli appears to have fixed the issues. One only needs to set the 'plgproxymethod = proxy' flag in the upmpdcli configuration file and everything works fine. For details, please check ticket "#11 upmpdcli-qobuz: random jumps to the next track" for upmpdcli on "Open Source Projects".

As an aside, upmpdcli and MinimServer can run simultaneously on many platforms including the Raspberry Pi. In conjunction with transports like the Allo DigiOne, the HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro and the newly introduced DigiOne Signature, these can be very flexible and low-noise sources for nDAC, NDS, etc. See also https://forums.naimaudio.com/t...lo-digione-signature.
