upmpdcli Tidal plugin

[Daksha]

I'm a total noob about all of this, but I want to understand better what is it for:
@TheOldPresbyope: even without this procedure, I can stream Tidal from mConnect on a tablet to my Moode UPNP Render.
What does this procedure adds?

Sure, you can use certain UPnP Control Points (such as mConnect, BubbleUPnP, etc.) which provide built-in support for Tidal (and often Qobuz, as well) with vanilla moOde.

What this procedure adds is the ability to use Tidal as a source even if you are using UPnP Control Points which don't have the built-in support, of which there are many, The same is true for Qobuz because of the Qobuz plugin already available in moOde.

There are certain technical differences in operation as well, but there's no point in discussing those here.

Ah, ok, now I understand why logging in into Tidal is required here. Thanks a lot! Have a nice day!

Hello.
I added the command lines to moodeaudio as in this topic so that Tidal could be supported. Unfortunately, I don't know if I did it correctly because I can't find Tidal anywhere in the moodeaudio application. How can I run it?

You need a UPnP Control Point to “talk” to this UPnP Renderer. Examples on mobile devices are BubbleUPnP, mconnectLite, LUMIN, etc.

Hello @TheOldPresbyope, just chiming in to tell you that we are close® to a new release of the plugin, which simplifies the authentication process.

In particular, we will be able to avoid to execute any script if we can monitor the application log, because there will be no need to copy-paste an url back to the script itself. If you want to see/test a preview, have a look here.

I can only suggest one method now because the upstream version of the plugin has the old version of the scripts we discussed about some time ago.
It might be possible to support the script method right now, but it would be overly complicated considering that a new release is probably coming soon.

I have this currently running at home, and I can access hires (up to 24/192) without the pkce authentication.

Thanks for the update. Candidly, I haven't paid attention to this topic lately and haven't been following your progress.

I'll give your WIP a try as soon as I can find a moment.

Hello @TheOldPresbyope, there has been a new release of upmpdcli, which includes the latest version of the Tidal plugin. We should now be able to use the simpler method for obtaining the credentials (one step only), and still have access to hires content.
Let me know if you want to try this, and if you have any issues.
Thank you

Thanks for the heads up.

I’ll exercise it when I can. This week is busy with family.
