Upcoming moOde 9.1.0 release

[TheOldPresbyope]

@bitlab just uploaded new upmpdcli packages to the CS repo.

Run the commands below to install then reboot.

Code:

# Bump upmpdcli
sudo apt update && apt list --upgradable
sudo moode-apt-mark unhold
sudo apt -y install libnpupnp13=6.2.0-1moode1
sudo apt -y install libupnpp16=0.26.7-1moode1
sudo apt -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" install upmpdcli=1.8.16-1moode1

Nice. I cheated when I tried the Tidal plugin recently and ignored the updated libraries. Hats off to @bitlab for doing the job right.

Are u able to test the updated Tidal plugin?

IIRC configuring it was kind of involved...

Recall upmpdcli Tidal plugin

Yes, the credentialing process is involved, requiring a web browser, and worse, proceeds differently for OAITH2 and PKCE authentication. I went straight for PKCE but OAUTH2 works for me too. Quoting from the docs

PKCE is currently the only way to access true hi-res files (so flac up to 24bit/192kHz), while OAUTH2 mode is limited to 24/48kHz, which can transport MQA encoded streams. Keep in mind that if you choose PKCE authentication, your renderer must be able to play MPEG-DASH streams. Currently, only mpd and gmrender-resurrect support this type of streams.

@Tim Curtis 

I forgot to mention just now that the python3 tidalapi module is also required (described in my thread and in the upmpdcli docs).

...and wouldn't you know it, I'm now failing to get the Tidal plugin working on my 9.1.0 player. I went through installing @bitlab packages, installed tidalapi, and did the rest of the work I described in my thread to credential the Tidal plugin (chose OAUTH2). I uncommented tidaluser in the upmpdcli.conf file and rebooted. Pulled up BubbleUPnP on my iPad, selected the moOde UPNP-mediaserver as source, and was offered both Qobuz (which I'd already enabled) and Tidal. Selecting Qobuz works a charm but selecting Tidal gets me the dreaded "Service login or communication failure."

I have the Tidal plugin (also chose OAUTH2) working fine on a 9.0.6 player in my Sun Room.

To quote Rosanne Rosanneadanna, it's always something.

I'll have to do some poking around.

Kent

Maybe when jfd updated the tidal plugin theres a new or changed setting or something like that.

Ah, a smoking gun found in the journal..

Code:

Dunno why this is happening now but didn't happen previously with same rev upmpdcli/tidal in the 9.0.6 player but it's time to roll up my sleeves and find out!

@Tim Curtis 

Ok, all fixed now.

Turns out /var/cache/upmpdcli/tidal on the 9.1.0 player had the wrong ownership, root:root. I changed it to upmpdcli:root and now the upmpdcli Tidal plugin works just as well as the upmpdcli Qobuz plugin does.
