[SOLVED] TIDAL

[TheOldPresbyope]

Hi Kent,
Yes, I tested this in a browser as well as with the Teufel Connector. I‘m Tidal user for at least 5 years. This used to be WIMP since then.
I checked my credentials in this config file of moode and they are stored there correctly.
Frustrating ... for me Tidal is the most important feature.

@Bernd

I totally understand your frustration.

What did you mean by TIDAL "resists all my attempts to make it working"?

From the date of your first post, I infer you have installed moOde r4.2. Is this correct?

It would seem that the version of upmpdcli compiled into this version of moOde does not observe the logfile settings in /etc/upmpdcli.conf. In my case, at least, if I leave them commented out, upmpdcli writes its logging messages to /var/log/syslog.

I use the BubbleUPnP app on Android devices as my UPnP control point.

As an experiment, I set up my TIDAL account in moOde with incorrect credentials and then using BubbleUpnP pointed to "Moode UPNP-mediaserver" as my library and pointed to "Moode UPNP" as my media renderer. (Obviously I kept the default names for the services.)

I can still browse TIDAL playlists, genres, etc. in BubbleUPnP but when I select something to play here's what I see in /var/log/syslog:

Code:

Sep 12 10:28:02 moode42 upmpdcli[872]: CMDTALK: tidal-app.py: Tidal running
Sep 12 10:28:02 moode42 upmpdcli[872]: CMDTALK: tidal-app.py: pCmdTalkProcessor.process: [{u'cmdtalk:proc': 'browse', u'flag': 'children', u'objid': '0$tidal$'}]
Sep 12 10:28:02 moode42 upmpdcli[872]: CMDTALK: tidal-app.py: browse: [{u'cmdtalk:proc': 'browse', u'flag': 'children', u'objid': '0$tidal$'}]
Sep 12 10:28:03 moode42 upmpdcli[872]: Username or password is wrong

Then for each track in my selection there is a multi-line set of diagnostic messages, each set beginning with a line of the form

Code:

Sep 12 11:01:18 moode42 upmpdcli[872]: CMDTALK: tidal-app.py: processmessage: processor raised: [401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: https://api.tidal.com/v1/tracks/85320966/streamUrl?soundQuality=LOW&limit=999&token=8C7kRFdkaRp0dLBp&countryCode=US]

What do you see?

[update] PS - Please note that this is a different use case than what @rikardo1979 suggested. In his test, you would set up BubbleUPnP with your TIDAL credentials and it would act as both the UPnP control point and the UPnP media server. In my test, it is only the UPnP control point and moOde is the UPnP media server. In both cases moOde is the UPnP renderer.
