Attention TIDAL users - changes ahead!

[jemhayward]

Assume no hope of them abandoning MQA and just streaming 24/96? The MQA hardware requirement is a pain, and really shouldn't be tolerated.

Uh... just learned about some bad news: they're dropping support for mp3. Which means that TIDAL will no longer play the (cheaper) lossy streams on SB3/Receiver/Transporter :-(.

And here's some good news: thanks to important work philippe_44 has done in the streaming code LMS8 should now be able to transcode those AAC streams for consumption on aforementioned players!

Thank you very much, Philippe!

issues where requests to TIDAL's servers were blocked due to rate limiting....

Would that include the roughly 500 limit on artists, albums, etc that one sees?

Any update on likely date the switch will happen?

Thanks

We'll have to see. I haven't found a documented piece of information
that they have lifted the limit of 50 results per request. Which means
we'll still have to run 10 requests to get 500 results, even more
obviously if we want more results. At some point this becomes a problem
performance wise.

> Any update on likely date the switch will happen?

Very soon :-). I had little bandwidth until yesterday, but am looking
into deploying this within the next weeks.

I can't make it work. I uninstalled the Tidal Plugin at the server and removed it from mysqueezebox.com, restarted the server, but I can't log in at mysqueezebox.com. I've tried with both my phone number (4529xxxxxx) and my email-address but no success.

issue is with url according to a deezer thread. using web interface, authentication was failing on mysqueezebox.com but wiith the www it is fine. Now is working for me. Not sure of the implications on LMS.

First sign in to www.mysqueezebox.com. Then go to My Apps, remove your
TIDAL credentials (if there are any left), and add your account again.
You should NOT have to enter your TIDAL credentials on mysqueezebox.com
any more, but should be taken to tidal.com for this.

I've just tried this: I went to www.mysqueezebox.com and then to the Tidal App. It offered me 'Already have a TIDAL account' and a Login button.
The button took me to this URL:

https://login.tidal.com/authorize?cl...aignId=default

I got a page saying ERROR Something went wrong. Please try again. If the error persists, contact customer support.

I presume Tidal customer support? I can log into Tidal via the web page, but at the moment, I can't get Tidal via my squeezebox system. Help!!!!
