TIDAL not working on duet/boom but radio works

[je79ayps]

Hi,

Tidal had a good black friday offer so I'm trying out the service. Perhaps looking to ditch Spotify and also have my Synology NAS run less.

So I have 2 Logitech radios, 1 boom and 1 duet. The 2 radios work as expected using mysqueezebox. However when trying the boom and duet nothing happens. Tracks are just skipping. When using mysqueezebox.com I sometimes see a "Your player is not authorized to use mysqueezebox.com." message. The 2 players both can use other apps like Tunein and Shoutcast.

Any idea why boom and duet not works?

I'm running LMS 7.7.6 on the NAS. I have activated the TIDAL plugin but is that not working anymore? The 2 radios are not able to use TIDAL when connected to LMS.

From checking the Logitech they mention ickStream plugin in LMS but from what I can see that's not supported anymore.

Thanks.

The version of LMS is very old. For full latest support of Tidal you need 8.0.*

Duet/Boom cannot play AAC natively so they need transcoding on a local LMS.

edit:
LMS is now community supported. 7.7.6 is last Logitech supported release.
IIRC Synology also limited support for LMS so you need a community package.

Pinkdot provide package to update some Synology system

Thanks. I upgraded to Tidal Hifi and I'm now able to play on the boom and duet using FLAC. However, some tracks are choppy and echo'ing. It's the same behavior on both the boom and duet (wired). So not sure what the cause of that might be.

Will check out the Pinkdot stuff. Much appreciated.
