Issue 91

Replay works fine but search seems to be broken with Kazoo 4.11.226.0 running on Android 7.1.2.

A search for "tarkovsky" in the qobuz app, for instance, yields "Tarkovsky Quartet" as the second entry of the auto suggested list of results after entering just "tarko". A search with "tarkovsky" yields "Tarkovsky Quartet" as the first entry in a breeze.

In the upmpdcli interface, searching is extremely slow. A search with "tarkovsky" takes about 15 seconds and yields a list of results that does not contain "Tarkovsky Quartet"! The first entry is "Gabor Tarkovi".

Is this a search for an Artist or Album?

As far as Artists go upmpdcli brings back the same results as the Bubble Qobuz interface (only a a lower specified count).

If you are talking album I can see there is a Tarkovsky Quartet by Francois Couturier that is not not returned.

Trying to put off mowing the lawn so had a quick look at this.

Assuming you are talking albums because the Qobuz app does not display an artist the:

I cannot comment on the speed but maybe multiple searches are being performed, one against artist then album, then track etc, JF can correct me on that.

Looking at the source code It looks like upmpdcli filters out the albums that are not available to play, checking in the Qobuz App confirms that Tarkosky Quartet by Francois Couturier is not available (except for 20 extract) as restricted by rights holder. Bubble also displays a message about only being able to play an extract.

@serverbaboon You are right, that’s likely the reason why Tarkovsky Quartet is not displayed. The Tarkovsky Quartet albums can only be streamed if one buys them. Since the upmpdcli interface does not anyway support access to albums that have been bought, it make sense not to display the results. Thus, I am going to close the issue. Thanks for your ready support! Best, Nicola

Hi.

I am re-opening this, because I need to check why the qobuz search is so slow. @serverbaboon is right that multiple qobuz searches are being performed, but still.

@nicolabotta : I guess that you are using Kazoo with a Linn renderer ? I have one around so I can set up the qobuz interface and have a look at the differences.

I am quite open to suggestions about how all this could be improved. Should I show the 20S extract tracks ? Other ideas ?

@medoc92 "I guess that you are using Kazoo with a Linn renderer ?" No, I am using Kazoo 4.11.226.0 (on a Nexus 5X running Android 7.1.2) with upmpdcli. I have compared the search function made available by upmpdcli-qobuz with the search function implemented in the qobuz app 3.2.2.21

Edit: I have also tried upmpdcli-tidal and there the search function seems to work fine.

Thanks, ok, got it now.

A recent commit reduced the number of requests sent to the qobuz service during a search. Things are now faster (but still slow…).
