Re: [slim] Tidal v1.2 Plugins stopped working - are there alternatives ?
Michael, After digging around it seems that Roon might provide an alternative connection between Tidal and Squeezebox Touch. But, assuming Tidal via Roon would actually work, this approach would require a paid subscription to both Roon and Tidal. For now I am happy with Tidal via mysqueezebox.com and will continue using that. Thanks again.

Re: [slim] Tidal v1.2 Plugins stopped working - are there alternatives ?
1) What does mysqueezebox.com actually do? Does it just set up the connection? It handles the content browsing with the services. Eg. the menus as you see them are created on mysb.com 2) Is there software available that replaces or augments LMS that allows for a direct connection between Tidal and my Touch that > does not involve mysqueezebox.com? The reason I ask #2 is that, while Nothing I'm aware of. am very happy with the way things are working now, I live in fear that Logitech will someday discontinue mysqueezebox.com. I own a total of 8 Touch's deployed in 3 different LANs that I would love to keep connected to Tidal even if mysqueezebox.com goes away. Logitech will someday discontinue mysb.com. But nobody knows when this will be. I doubt anyone would have believed it would still be around seven years after the end of the product Squeezebox. Don't worry now. We'll see what happens once mysb.com is being shut down. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Tidal v1.2 Plugins stopped working - are there alternatives ?
My connection to Tidal has been working properly the last few days. Michael, as you suggest, apparently there was some intermittent problem somewhere in the connection between Tidal and my LAN. Thanks for your help. I am wondering, though, about the following two things. You state that the connection between Tidal and my Touch is direct, i.e., that the stream does not pass through mysqueezebox.com. So my questions are: 1) What does mysqueezebox.com actually do? Does it just set up the connection? 2) Is there software available that replaces or augments LMS that allows for a direct connection between Tidal and my Touch that does not involve mysqueezebox.com? The reason I ask #2 is that, while I am very happy with the way things are working now, I live in fear that Logitech will someday discontinue mysqueezebox.com. I own a total of 8 Touch's deployed in 3 different LANs that I would love to keep connected to Tidal even if mysqueezebox.com goes away.

Thanks Michael! That was the perfect hint. I did add these lines to
custom-convert.conf:
Code:
flc flc * *
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}
[flac] -cs --totally-silent --compression-level-0 $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ -
Without these lines Tidal 1.2 does work as intended :cool:
The intention for this is a workaround to reencode flac files that have
a to high compression and do cause stuttering on slow devices like the
squeezeboxes I use.
The issue is described here:

Seems I'll need to find another workaround that works in all cases
:eek:
Thanks again Michael and have a great weeekend soon !

Re: [slim] Tidal v1.2 Plugins stopped working - are there alternatives ?
To my surprise, Tidal is still working without drop-outs, even after (2a + 2b), even though this returns the settings to their original state. What do you make of all this? Do you think that changes (1a + 1b) triggered something somewhere that actually fixed the problem? Or do you think that an intermittent problem at Tidal, or in my Internet connection, just happened to go away while I was doing these experiments? Intermittent problems can be a challenge. My bet would be on an intermittent problem somewhere along the connection from your player to TIDAL. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

My players are Squeezebox Touchs, and I am using LMS. My intermittent problem with Tidal experienced during the last two days has, for the moment, gone away. I did the following two things. First, 1a) From LMS -> Open Web Control -> Settings -> Player -> Audio, I changed Streaming Method from Direct Streaming to Proxied Streaming 1b) From LMS -> Open Web Control -> Settings -> Advanced -> Network, I increased Radio Station Buffer Seconds from 3 to 30. When I tried 1a and 1b separately, I still had the problem with intermittent drop-outs. But then I tried them together, and the drop-outs seemed to go away. (After each change, I rebooted the machined running LMS, re-started LMS, and power cycled the SBT, just to make sure that changes were "sticking.") Next, I wanted to verify that (1a + 1b) were actually responsible for fixing things. After all, with intermittent problems it can be hard to tell if your recent changes are actually the solution, or if something else causing the intermittent problem has secretly gone away. So the next thing I did was, 2a) Change from Proxied Streaming back to Direct Streaming 2b) Change Radio Station Buffer Seconds from 30 back to 3. To my surprise, Tidal is still working without drop-outs, even after (2a + 2b), even though this returns the settings to their original state. What do you make of all this? Do you think that changes (1a + 1b) triggered something somewhere that actually fixed the problem? Or do you think that an intermittent problem at Tidal, or in my Internet connection, just happened to go away while I was doing these experiments? Intermittent problems can be a challenge.

at least for me the Tidal plugin stopped working. When trying to play a song it just skips it. Are you using LMS or connect to mysqueezebox.com? What kind of player are you using? If you're using LMS, then please check its server.log for any hint. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Tidal v1.2 Plugins stopped working - are there alternatives ?
or Internet service. I suspect the problem is in mysqueezebox.com, Unlikely: the audio streams go directly from the service to your player (or LMS, should you be using it). The SB is much more sensitive to network issues than phones, as it has a minuscule buffer in comparison. because from the Touch menu Settings -> Advanced -> Diagnostics ->Server Info, I see that the IP address for mysqueezebox.com keeps changing every few seconds. Perhaps this is normal but it seems odd, and I It is normal, yes. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Tidal v1.2 Plugins stopped working - are there alternatives ?
I don't know if this is a related problem or not, but starting on on 5/13/2020 my Tidal app started having troubles. I have multiple Squeezebox Touchs, and Tidal was working flawlessly on all of them since I started using the app about 1 month ago. But now, suddenly, I am receiving intermittent music interruptions when listening to Tidal on all of my players. When I look at the Touch screen I see that these drop-outs are associated with re-buffering attempts. All of the players are connected via Ethernet, and there has been no change to my network or Internet service. I suspect the problem is in mysqueezebox.com, because from the Touch menu Settings -> Advanced -> Diagnostics ->Server Info, I see that the IP address for mysqueezebox.com keeps changing every few seconds. Perhaps this is normal but it seems odd, and I suspect that this is related somehow to the problem. I can stream Tidal straight to my phone on the same network, which does not prove anything, but probably indicates that Tidal is alive and well. Anyone know what is going on?
