Quote:Volumio's integration of Qobuz Connect is the result of a close collaboration with Qobuz, involving access to their proprietary SDK and adherence to specific integration guidelines. This partnership allowed Volumio to implement the feature across its entire product line, including the Raspberry Pi-based Volumio OS .Volumio Community
For developers aiming to integrate Qobuz Connect into a Raspberry Pi-based operating system, the following steps are recommended:

1. Establish a Partnership with Qobuz: Reach out to Qobuz to initiate a collaboration. This partnership is essential to gain access to the Qobuz Connect SDK and to ensure compliance with their integration requirements.
   
2. Obtain the Qobuz Connect SDK: Upon establishing a partnership, Qobuz will provide access to their SDK, which contains the necessary tools and documentation for integration.
   
3. Review Qobuz's Integration Guidelines: Familiarize yourself with Qobuz's integration guidelines to understand the technical and user experience standards expected for Qobuz Connect implementations.
   
4. Develop the Integration: Utilize the SDK and guidelines to develop the Qobuz Connect feature within your operating system. This may involve creating a receiver application that can communicate with the Qobuz app, handling playback commands, and managing audio streaming.
   
5. Testing and Quality Assurance: Conduct thorough testing to ensure the integration functions correctly and provides a seamless user experience. Address any issues identified during this phase.
   
6. Certification and Approval: Submit your integration to Qobuz for certification. This step is crucial to ensure that your implementation meets all of Qobuz's standards and can be officially recognized as a Qobuz Connect-compatible device.
   
7. Release and Support: Once certified, release the updated operating system to users. Provide ongoing support and updates as necessary to maintain compatibility with Qobuz's services.
   

By following these steps, developers can effectively integrate Qobuz Connect into their Raspberry Pi-based operating systems, offering users a native and seamless streaming experience directly from the Qobuz app.

That's not going to work for moOde, we'd need Qobuz to at least make an API available so a FOSS connect application could be developed.

Barring that, depending on how it goes with Deezer Connect, I could look into reverse engineering it. I’d need to have access to a supported device to assess if that’s feasible at all.

No promises yet, but I'll start exploring it further. If you'd like to support the effort, I'd appreciate sponsorship at https://github.com/sponsors/roderickvd. It'll help cover the Qobuz subscription and tools needed for protocol analysis and development.
